What’s wild here is that when you talk about IP you are talking about entertainment and art and not lifesaving drugs and technologies on a global scale.
It’s a very privilidged western view of copyright and IP.

What’s wild here is that when you talk about IP you are talking about entertainment and art and not lifesaving drugs and technologies on a global scale.
It’s a very privilidged western view of copyright and IP.
And as I said in my comment, it isn’t my customers that want stuff for free, often they want to pay to support me. Those laws stop big multinational corporations from taking my work and selling it on their t-shirts.
We are social creatures, but fuck me, we need to eat and pay rent.
I see you make art. What if I said to you, I’d like to give you some money for that art, for maybe a print of it. Not just so that I can own some but because I want to support you.
And then someone just copies your art and gives it to me free. You get no money for it.
Are you genuinely OK with that? Are you saying that everything you make is copyright free?
So you think that because some people chose to make things for free there should be no legal protection for people that want to sell what they make?
The only people who can choose to make things for free are the privilidged few.
As someone who makes minimum wage from my intellectual property, the IP laws (in the UK) have allowed me to prevent the very wealthy just taking my ideas and profiting from them.
And they have tried repeatedly.
It isn’t the law, but the corruption of the law that’s at issue. However, without that legal framework there would be no financial incentive for anyone but the wealthy to make IP.
Is that what you want? Entertainment by big corporations only, and art made solely by the upper middle classes?
I use both, but honestly, some mastodon users can’t help but be outright patronising and hostile to newcomers.
The whole “we don’t do that here” vibe clearly puts folk off. Weirdly, it isn’t the long term users that do that, bug more recent converts.
Why do you think that is?
I like following verbal meme trends, then watching them die out.
Couple of years ago everyone described nearly everything as “spicy”.
The overuse if “hear me out” before making a mid statement.
That dark period of time when people used “amazeballs”.
It’s always been about context and provenance. Who took the image? Are there supporting accounts?
But also, it has always been about the knowlege that no one… Absolutely no one… Does lines of coke from a woven mat floor covering.

Or, conversely, just switch to Linux.
Take an hour or so to have a look around the place.
Go on the internet if you have any questions.
People are smarter than you assume and if you want Linux to grow in popularity we need to stop pretending any if this is difficult.
I think some folk want to pretend using Linux is hard so that they can feel more… Uh… Technical for using it.
Adore the darktable gang.
That hair though.
C’mon man, it’s time to get a coverage appropriate cut or just shave it altogether.
He looks like a boiled sweet that’s been dropped on the carpet.
All my heart still belongs to the canon HV20 forum. It taught me how to film, it taught me how to chat to people in an online community.
It was never about a camcorder. It was about connection.
Plus, you could search for stuff on google and the forum results would pop up. Good look with discord doing that.
I mean, I did mean run but also, yes, windows 10 is hot AF.
My set up comfortably plays cyberpunk at dead fancy settings, but doesn’t meet the system requirements for windows 11.
Yeah, I’m going to rub out windows 10 as long as I can (although I dual boot Debian anyway).
That’s why it is stubbonky popular.
Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.
My experience with certain chemicals suggests this is true.
Absolutely. I wrote about this a while back in an essay:
Basically likening it to a prion disease like Kuru, which humans get from eating the infected brains of other humans.
I’m telling you this as someone that works in the arts, that’s just not true.
You can pirate digital material and repackage it. I see illustrators getting their designs ripped off by large scale clothing manufacturers all the time.
Similarly, I know some acts that have heard their music on adverts and films and haven’t been paid. It seems like it is being stolen if you ask me.
There needs to be protection or the creation of art becomes a luxury for those that can afford to not make money from it.
