007 Nightfire softmod all the way.
I’m old enough to have not trusted Plex since the original XBMC split.
It’s entirely fair to blame the cars, and trucks and suvs specifically with their ever growing size, weight and decreasing field of view.
Link for the hdd? I’ve got like five 5tb drives all wired to a usb hub and need to bite the bullet and get some real storage solutions.
What exactly do you want me to tell afraid of zombies? Because I feel like I’ve responded to you on that issue already. Despite tour repeated and breathless insistence, I don’t think he’s trolling. This shit right here? This is you trolling.
Lemme get this straight. I deleted a response I made to one of your many ridiculous accusations, reposted it in the correct spot - not insulting, btw, and I stand by it - you make yet another trolling accusation and in order to “gotcha” me you go back weeks/months through my post history to find me a nonspecific mean spirited comment I made and deleted? And you don’t get how this is troll behavior? I mean it would be one thing if you really did catch me out but my dude this isn’t it. I joked about nft bros getting burned by uv lights, and deleted it afterwards. You’re really, really bad at this internet sleuthing and it should (but won’t) maybe indicate to you that you shouldn’t just go around lobbing accusations of trolling. People in glass houses etc.
I’ve been far too generous with my time with you though. Goodbye troll. Be better.
Oh no perish the thought. You found me out. I said a meanie about nft bros and deleted it. Guess that’s the exact same as making personal insults and accusations and then cowardly deleting them when I receive push back. But please do continue. It’s good to see you’re getting some quality reading in.
Just digging that hole, huh?
It’s self evident. You’re trolling. And you’re digging in to your trolling.
My client? What are you on about? And no, I didn’t delete an insult, I realized I responded to the wrong post, to yet another person you’re accusing of conspiratorially disagreeing with you. Thanks for giving me a reason to repost it: “To be clear, then, you’re back to claiming I’m, what, an astroturf plant? It seems like I wasted my time engaging with you after all. Continue trolling.” Troll.
No, see, it actually isn’t self evident. After being accused of being disingenuous because he only talked about open source in the context of AI — again almost the verbatim ridiculous accusation you lobbed at me before cowardly deleting it - he asked for a citation relevant to the issue and someone sent a CNN article about Duolingo laying off staff. That isn’t the gotcha you think it is. It doesn’t “destroy my reputation” lmao to point out that you are, in fact, acting like a troll. This is a pattern of yours. Be better.
Yeah you keep spamming that screen shot. Idk I’m not seeing it. I read the thread you’re posting and it seems like you’re just digging in and insisting that someone that disagrees with you must be a troll.
For what it’s worth, you made the same accusation against me yesterday and after I think I pretty effectively (and unnecessarily I might add) defended myself you deleted those posts. Making spurious accusations like that (and, as I read it, this) are also trollish behavior that doesn’t further any discussion. I’ve looked in your thread you’re posting. You come out flying with accusations based on extremely flimsy evidence. I think OPs responses seemed entirely warranted.
That’s a pretty strong accusation. You seem to like to wade through people’s post history but to my cursory glance nothing would indicate this poster is a troll.
You understand AI posts frequently surface on this platform and people will engage with those posts even if they disagree with you?
I’m Incredibly worried about AI deepfakes and voice cloning for a whole host of reasons. It’s one of the things I think we are collectively least prepared to deal with. The privacy concerns, national security, cyber security - to say nothing of disinformation and yeah, labor impacts — we are fucked and not at all ready for this.
Name and likeness rights, rights of publicity though and privacy rights don’t stem from copyright and don’t require an expansion of copyright to further protect. There’s case law already preventing a business from cloning someone without their permission, and everyone will be paying very close attention to those parts of contracts moving forward, I’d wager. As to wholesale replacing actors and talent with generated content — yeah, I’m very worried a lot of artists and creative people are as fucked as the lawyers and the accountants and writers and everyone else when it comes to job displacement.
Again, despite your really aggressive tone, I’m telling you: we almost certainly agree more than we disagree. It is ghoulish watching studios rush to replace extras and voice actors and resurrect dead actors. True cyberpunk dystopia necromancer shit. I’m hoping that we see more victories won in this genuinely encouraging resurgence of labor (todays SAG AFTRA deal notwithstanding) and legislation directly addressing the labor impacts of AI more broadly. Different kinds of guard rails and safety nets. I just don’t think copyright is the answer you think it is to the horrors that we both agree are coming.
Not legal advice not your lawyer etc etc. But I would likely never suggest someone pursue aggressively against individual piracy. You write contracts for your partners. You fight businesses when they breach. You make great work and price it appropriately. You make your wins there and you do everything you can to not find yourself in a courtroom or arbitration if you can avoid it. You’re not winning any friends and you’re not saving yourself any trouble by raging against torrents. Especially for small creators the calculus never (imo) works out in their favor. More often than not, small artists and creators need to be much more concerned about and need help with being able to defend themselves against spurious accusations of infringement by larger corporate Ip rent seekers and more-or-less automated systems (again: cyberpunk dystopia).
Speaking personally I find the equivocation of “copyright infringement” and “theft” ridiculous. One download = \ = one “stolen” sale, and it never has. Theft requires depriving the original of the property, being able to exercise exclusive control over it. Conceptually it has always broken down when talking about digital goods.
