asking for a friend

Trying to fix something at night, with a fuming partner who’s already put up with a difficult to use service, because of your want for privacy even though they don’t care care, whilst saying “it should work, I don’t know what’s wrong”, is not a great place to be

I feel those words

We had many threads discussing this issue as pirating a copy of something does not hurt the producer.

In the same magnitude (of loss) you could say that robbing a car from a manufacturer does not hurt the company.

Because the “robber” would also not buy the car too. So depending on how you define economic loss this discussion leads to no end.

I hope someday we will find a way to pirate a car

Im quite sure car robbers do something like that since ages. :D

Gifs are the USP

Bad bot

Omg this exists already?

Well you havent seen my corporation then…

LotR should’ve already entered the public domain

Where is the petition to sign up for?

This is just a casual reminder to read the article before replying in the comments.

This should anyway be a sticky to every post about third party content.

Also I am very much impressed how much content this small number of users can generate.

Drugs are literally the thing that you can buy and make you happy.

We are still in c/technology

have no money" issue.

Whos working in that by the way?

I think steam in general is a proof that its a service issue

Its always something isnt it?

I too had issues with some stuff at first. But until I dive into org mode its the best i was getting.

(Im telling this from stumbling through many apps like tiddlywiki, obsidian, joplin, qownnotes, trilliumnotes, standardnotes, and probably more)

Or logseq which is open source.

Or joplin. Or a meriad of other apps

Indeed. And I am more curious about whats possible instead of missing the good old days.

Nobody can argue that a 1950 movie is better as a marvel multi million production.

Even watching movies from the late 90s -2000s is a time travel and I assume most of the “good old movies” is of nostalgic origin

However nothing that cant be done by modern movies.

lifeless and boring

Do you have an example for that?

To me modern productions are putting so much effort in side story/side character building that it gets complex.

Also that nowadays a good movie lasts 3 hours. Instead of the good old 90 minutes.

Hmm. I think the discussion turning around copyright and fair use is somehow the bedrock of this.

You are right. Since we cannot even find a solution to work for nowadays breaches of copyright, it will probably be still problematic in future cases as well.

But I also see the chance to get rid of something on the way.

As we know what does not work, like copyright law execution and the uphill battle of forcing it, we can truly think outside the box.

i do not want to take sides on certain technologies for now as I never truly looked into such special case, but I could think of some kind of ownership verificatiom mechanism probably backed by cryptocurrency even nfts.

I do not expect for people to pay in full compensation for skills (capitalism shows us on youtube how some ecosystem is formed) but I am confident that the market will nonetheless finds some solution. We will get more of everything, this means trash, and this means copythefted content as well but summing up the content will be better, and skill will find a way to sustain and be unique on its own.

Anyway I am drifting off. I see many similarities in piracy discussions here in certain comminities. Because if it can be done, it will be done, and I see no choice but making the best out of it during the way.

Reputation is an interesting point.

But as I said in another post. That is no issue of AI itself.

We need anyway a verification of validity for anything in the near future.

Therefore it is already late for thinking about that. In the modern world nothing is valid until proven to be.
