Also, at least where I live, they are increasing prices.

Makes me feel like it's time to dust my old pirate hat...

Install an android emulator. Problem solved.

Start pirating again. Problem solved.

Make your own movies and shows. Problem solved.

Start a company, get rich, buy Netflix, problem solved.

Stop watching stuff, do something else. Problem solved.

Found a secret society, infiltrate politics worldwide, stir chaos and destruction, let the world burn and built a new Netflix from the world's ashes where you still can download stuff. Problem solved.

See? It's not that hard!

(In case it wasn't clear, I am joking.)

In case you are sincerely wondering:

It has become common to show sarcasm or mockery through that random capitalisation of letters in text.

It was originally popularised by the mocking spongebob meme but its use can be traced back even earlier, according to Wikipedia.

Please keep it civil. :)
The discussion was fine so far. What made you react so angry?

There is lactose free cow water. Also, plant based milk doesn't have lactose.

InternetPerson , 1 month ago to Mildly Infuriating in Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk

Which is cool

I disagree for health and a bunch of other reasons.

Alcohol isn't that bad, obviously, if bad at all,

Depends on what you understand by "bad". Regarding health, it certainly is.

No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

When your keyboard is remapped, you commit those changes yourself.

Stack Overflow, technically a neutral term. Idk though whether the name in such a context would violate any trademark laws even if it's a non-profit platform.

Snack Overflow

Nullpointer Exception

Access Violation

Not necessarily, no. There are a plethora of non-profit services and pages on the net.

What platform do you think you used to write that commeent?

Regarding platforms of for-profit companies, you are more right than wrong though.

Because it's original work they contributed for free. Lending others that kind of expertise and time, just that it get's used by a machine learning algorithm, which aims to reproduce this, without giving it back to them or the community in a similar free manner, feels violating.
Apart from that, creators feel ownership over their content and it feels wrong not to be asked what happens to it. (Although those probably wouldn't – or shouldn't – use SO anyway, as their content gets commercialised anyway by giving it SO for free.)

You know, there are a lot of people who like to be told a story and immerse themselve into such lore and reallymenjoy such scenes.

Despite that, the cutscenes in games of the TLoZ series are really not that long, which you would probably know, if you would've played the games.

The person has the knowledge that this is going on.

Not necessarily, no. It could be that they might just think they've misplaced their socks. If you've lived in an apartment building with shared laundry spaces, it's not so uncommon to loose some minor parts of clothing. But just because they don't get to know about it, it's not less wrong or should be less illegal.

In he situation with AI nudes, the actual person may never find out.

Also in connection with my remarks before:
A lot of our laws also apply even if no one is knowingly damaged (yet). (May of course depend on the legislation of wherever you live.)
Already intending to commit a crime can sometimes be reason enough to bring someone to court.
We can argue how much sense that makes of course, but at the current state, we, as a society, decided that doing certain things should be illegal, even if the damage has not manifested yet. And I see many good points to handle it that way with such AI porn tools as well.

That's why we need strong legislation. Most countries wordlwide are missing crucial time frames for making such laws. At least some are catching up, like the EU did recently with their first AI act.

Also why would you care if someone jerks off to a photo you uploaded, regardless of potential nude edits. They can also just imagine you naked.

Imagining and creating physical (even digial) material are different levels of how real and tangible it feels. Don't you think?

There is an active act of carefully editing those pictures involved. It's a misuse and against your intention when you posted such a picture of yourself. You are loosing control by that and become unwillingly part of the sexual act of someone else.

Sure, those, who feel violated by that, might also not like if people imagine things, but that's still a less "real" level.

For example:
Imagining to murder someone is one thing. Creating very explicit pictures about it and watching them regularly, or even printing them and hanging them on the walls of one's room, is another.
I don't want to equate murder fantasies with sexual ones. My point is to illustrate that it feels to me and obviously a lot of other people that there are significant differences between pure imagination and creating something tangible out of it.
