If you use AI anywhere in code, you steal code. Simple as.

My very cursory understanding is that there is a subset of PDF that is open, something called PDF-A I think, at least enough that it’s used for archival. Source: my fingers, fingling on the keyboard.

…omg I’m mid!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Those old-paleoartists were really unfettered.

How about regard? Even tho it’s also a verb.

That’s the point, under capitalism.

wdym there’s been good alternatives to Discord for decades.

Lemmy.world mods. They are kinda like feddit.org mods. Whiny cocksuckers who are just so happy to vent their frustrations (or pretend ones) on their userbase.

Unneeded. We already have a tool for that it’s called blueprints, they haven’t failed in over 3000 years.

You don’t need to actively punch everyone you see. Just punch the Nazis. For the privacy part, what one could reasonably do once the tech becomes affordable is to eg.: wear passive EMP devices or something similar that disable cameras near you (at some point, the tech has to fit in a space too small for EMP shielding).

If you want to bend and spread, you do you. You don’t have to tell us to “get over” it and share your fetish. That’s a not-nice thing to do.

Fair point. Very few if any news sites provide unique articles.

It could be the citizens but done indirectly, for example via taxes. Even better, not all citizens: just tax the rich and put the money into a journalism pool, so the rich can’t choose to benefit any particular newspaper or editorial line.

Oh well, archive.today it is in the meantime I guess.

I haven’t said that journalists have to work for free. Just that we don’t have to be the ones who are trickled out to feed them. I doesn’t have to be “poors vs workers” unlike what the media is telling you, ya know? A better system is possible.

Okay so, what is the currently going-for alternative that bypasses paywalls?

Paying for journalism simply promotes that those who don’t pay it don’t get it ie.: more paywalls, not less.

Gnome shell uses JS

I knew there was a reason why it sucked so much!

Oh now that’s interesting. I’ve always wondered (not knowing much about how they’re made) if it would be possible to make a desktop compositor for Linux that simply uses HTML and CSS. One could even natively embed local pages in it.
