flamingos OP ,

According to this it's just a coincidence.

Everything is biased. Even saying something as simple as "grass is green" is biased, it has the bias of normal colour perception. I'm colour blind and don't see grass as green.

flamingos OP ,

Writing shit on public toilets is one of humanity's great pastimes.

flamingos ,

To be fair, an ASML engineer explaining some advanced piece of tech would be great ASMR.

flamingos ,

It's importan to remember that Stallmen only considers people up to the age of 13 children.

flamingos ,

Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:

Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically.

No state that includes Quebec can be considered great.

Also why is Utah highlighted.

Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books (www.404media.co)

Etsy sellers are turning free fanfiction into printed and bound physical books, and listing them for sale on online marketplaces for more than $100 per book. It’s a problem that’s rattling the authors of those fanfics, as well as their fans and readers....

flamingos ,

Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there's no fair use/dealings defence of them. There's just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don't have much money and it'd be a PR nightmare. Obviously this equation changes when people start to profit of fan work, it's why AO3 doesn't allow direct links to donation pages.

flamingos ,

It would be weird if the OTW just outright stated that fanfiction was copyright infringement, starting off from the position of "yeah, it breaks the law" would be a bad form of advocatory. The case they link on that FAQ is about a parody of (at the time) 20 year old song, which is materially very different from how fanfiction works. I do think if it ever did go to court that a non-commercial exception would likely be carved out, but as it currently stands I don't think there's any precedent in either my own country or America that can be used to argue that fanfiction meets the criteria for fair use/dealings. Then again, I'm not a lawyer so my opinion probably isn't worth much.

(sidenote: it's mad that American copyright law doesn't have an explicit exception for parody)

Nerd at computer: I wonder who killed this person. Disco Elysium: a bunch of unreadable text. Nerd at computer: you are absolutly correct it is now my life mission to destroy the Moralintern.

God, I love emacs

flamingos ,

Sure, but software that targets a moving platform like Emacs can often break. I'm commenting on how stable Emacs is, even past major releases (25->29 in this case).

flamingos ,

The idea we don't hate on Musk is genuinely insane. His hate subreddit even got brought over (!enoughmuskspam).

You could've chosen literally any other billionaire and you would've had a point.

flamingos ,

Isn't Thunderbird completely self-managed? I don't think they have anything to do with MozCorp.

flamingos ,

What kind of monster writes lisp with the closing bracket on its own line.

flamingos OP ,

Me and RWBY:

    Lily from Zombieland, maybe?

    flamingos ,

    Aren't you basically describing readthedocs.io?

    flamingos ,

    Imagining a version of Breaking Bad where Gus spends most of it crying about young men and the chaos dragon.

    Honestly would be a good bit for an abridged series.

    flamingos ,

    Maybe instead of banning mouldy memes, there could be restrictions for when they can be posted. Mouldy Monday or something.

    flamingos ,

    Please don't buy prints of AI art.

    flamingos OP ,

    This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.

    flamingos OP ,

    The only games that give me any trouble are some Japanese VNs, which can be absolutely cursed for some reason. Like, massive tech juggernauts like Cyberpunk are click and play, but I've spent hours getting books-with-PNGs working.

    flamingos ,

    Holy shit, it's D-Man!

    flamingos ,

    only British person I respect

    Map Men slander.
