  • YouTube creator sues Nvidia and OpenAI for ‘unjust enrichment’ for using their videos for AI training

  • tl;dr: copyright law has always been nonsense designed to protect corporations and fuck over artists+consumers

    but now corpo daddy and corpo mommy are fighting, and we need to take sides.

    and it's revealing that copyright law never existed to protect artists, and will continue to not do that, but MUCH more obviously, and all the cucks who whined about free culture violating laws are reaping what they fucking sowed.

  • agreed, but its an interesting contradiction revealed in the legal frameworks.

  • to be fair, in jefferson's case, ignoring the shit he said in favor of the shit he did is pretty well justified; they contradict each other pretty consistently.

  • then I have a right to sit outside churches and take pot shots every sunday when they let out. saying I can't is discrimination! AND infringement on my second amendment rights! and saying I should be STOPPED from doing this, rather than just not allowed, is infringement of my fourth amendment rights!

    edit: not actually planning this. you can tell because it would require waking up before noon. just that I have the constitutional right to.

  • nah. I think there's room. religious shit should be banned from public use (as in, use by public institutions) , and I don't think we should have a robert e lee or nathan B forest high school any more than we should have an erwin rommel elementary or a reinhardt heidrich middle school.

    Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies.

    Jump

  • yeah but those are mostly gone or otherwise unusable now, one way or the other. that's kind of the problem.

    edit: I wish I could help. there are reddit communities I miss too, but reddit killed them, and they haven't popped back up anywhere.

  • we absolutely should. facebook is fucking evil, and getting everything to move off it, damaging the network effect, is important for creating a more free and open information ecosystem.

  • okay but that's all back-end. I actually have an example like this!

    okay, so, if im playing an old DRM'd game I have on my desktop, and want to switch to my steam deck, I can do that.

    but the interface that works on my steam deck (controller with touch pad, but no keyboard) is maddening to use on my desktop. I know, because I tried it once-steam calls it 'big picture mode' and it feels like being crippled when I use it on a computer with a full keyboard and mouse.

    but I pick up the deck, and it's nice. it functions, its interface is pretty close to perfect. and if I tried to use either of those on my phone, i would take a train up to washington and fucking beat a valve employee to death with it.

    what you're talking about is back end interoperability. totally unrelated, and I agree it's good! also, doesn't really exist anywhere near as much as it should, but that's sort of a different problem. see, each of those platforms has different affordances and design conventions. now, you can run compatibility and seamless use, so the video just appears where you want it. I actually have a slightly janky (but best I've found) version of that set up on my LAN.

    but I would like to be able to click around and take a broader view of the incoming shit on my desktop with multiple 4k monitors. i absolutely need gesture support on my tablet, and on my phone I need gesture support, plus ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have space to display multiple things at once.

    I don't need hamburger menus on my fucking desktop. I got space, and my cursor is precise enough the 90s/00's are the best we've done with UX in that space (because we stopped trying as soon as the iphone dropped). having ONLY ONE THING displayed at once on my desktop is fucking annoying. I have 7680 horizontal pixels over a few feet of space on my desktop, no one thing takes up that much fucking space, nor should it, and I like the ability to click and drag shit from different apps and move shit around and do all that good crap. it's great! and on my phone or tablet, that doesn't really work. I should be able to click and drag to my tablet, if I want to set that up (my tablet is air gapped because that's easier than degoogling and I mostly read+music on it) but my tablet needs a totally different interface, and anything that DOES work for my tablet, where im only ever really doing one thing I need to look at at once, is going to be frustrating as hell on my desktop.

  • you're saying my arguments are incoherent because I was trying to go after your arguments, which did not seem coherent. I was saying the insane fascist policies from both major american parties, as an example, are both harmful AND unpopular. you'll notice that the harris campaign dropped all her popular 'radical' policies now that she's running against trump rather than whoever she was against in her congress run, because she doesn't have to look good now.

    worker co-ops are leftist? how so? what is 'leftist' in your definition? does that just mean "not ridiculously fucking evil" now? I feel like it's used like that sometimes.

    again, I wasn't working on my definitions; I was trying to understand yours, could you please explain them?

    how is that centrist

    I think I already explained that.

  • so, media creators-the writers actors set designers camera people etc, they don't get money for media. it's just not a thing. the money you spend on a movie does not go to the people who made it. sometimes books. sometimes book money goes to the people who wrote them, but that's still pretty rare. like, as long as the most recent contract negotiations with WGA and SAG went on for, their leadership accepted deals that absolutely fuck them.

    so I dunno how to help them make a living. I guess the same way I would if I were paying disney; live in hollywood and tip 50%.

    I can afford it

    so you can afford to have disney fucking murder your loved ones? dude, that's a level of non-material wealth that I literally cannot comprehend, im fucking jealous.

    you don't discipline power with laws. has never worked, will never work. you discipline power with pitchforks and torches and communism. you discipline power with a guillotine, or in a coal mine. nothing else has ever worked.

  • right but it can't protect the powerful without gaslighting you, because the direct use of violence for control is really really fucking inefficient, and the use of pure terror for control isn't much better. you need to build the prison in your prisoners' heads, y'know?

  • a monopoly on the use of violence, for the purpose of entrenching inequality. also sometimes they build infrastructure so we don't kill them, because actually controlling people with violence is profoundly inefficient.

  • and why do they keep making it as actively shitty as they possibly can?

    like, I get it, there was room for improvement back when it was just 'good'. they filled all that room with crap.
