Google docs is the only good word processor for collaboration I have used.

Turns out my python script for sending signed requests is broken.

Thanks!

We need the misinformation flair from reddit.

Yeah, there was an "anti-art-theft" account on tumblr that just went around harassing people for using ai.
One person has a pixel art plant pfp which was blurry from image compression, so the account thought it was ai, the person with the plant pfp was harassed about it, even though they didn't use ai.

even if they did use ai, I don't see why you'd want to harass someone for that anyway.

my point is, a lot of anti-ai stuff will end up affecting real artists anyway.

That's fair enough, thanks for explaining!

or small stuff like remote battery covers

The Luddites were a 19th century guerrilla movement that smashed textile machines, burned factories and threatened their owners. But they were not motivated by a fear of technology [...] the luddites [...] were engaged in the most science-fictional exercise imaginable – asking not what a technology does, but who it does it to and who it does it for. The Luddites, you see, were skilled weavers whose intense physical labor produced the textiles that clothed the nation. The difficulty of their trade – both in terms of esoteric knowledge and physical prowess – allowed them to command high wages and good working conditions.

All that was threatened by the advent of textile machines, which produced more fabric in less time, and required less skill. The owners of textile factories bought these machines with profits derived from the weavers' labor, and then used those machines to grind down the weavers. Their hours got longer, their pay got shorter, and many of them were maimed or killed by the new machines.

Weaving engines are ingenious and delightful machines. The Luddites had no beef with the machines – their cause was the social relations that governed those machines. By painting Luddites as mere technophobes, we strip ourselves of the ability to learn from history. The lesson of the Industrial Revolution is that merely asking what a machine does and not who it does it for and to can lead to literal genocide.

Genuine questions: why make it an instance wide rule when those communities can just add it to their own rules?

For a disengage call to be valid, it must not be accompanied by other arguments on the existing topic. A disengage is not meant to be a trump card to have the last word.

I don't think it works like that.

I think copyright is wrong, but I tend to avoid ai for different reasons.

Ai scraping and posts are a near effective ddos on the entire internet, and its harming scraping as a whole.

That's not activitypub's fault.

You can block the instance in settings, or block individual communities.

I'm annoyed they still have relevancy somehow.

this couple?

Kitkats aren't as nice as they used to be.

I know, but if it pushes more people to donate I think its important.

I have a ten year old one which works fine with OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

It is.

In Ireland we have a postal code system, but there's a limit on how many times you can search for them on the official website.

One that sells the data to other companies, so they don't want open access to it.

What does matter is the idea that people can support the software without supporting .ml.
