Uh, no. Can’t you read? These are not people. They are Russian cybercriminals

spooky green line stay away

I refrained from recommending Frieren because its premise is pretty sad and it’s got a lot of melancholy between the cute, fun, and funny moments. However, I do think it fits what OP is looking for depending on just how sensitive they will be to sad vibes.

If you write something, you own the copyright, period. There’s no registration process or anything like that. If you made it, it’s yours, legally. And the only process involved to exercise your legal rights would just be proving that you’re actually the one who made it.

Of course, none of that makes it certain that no one will claim it as their own or use it for something you don’t want. As a general rule, just assume that anything you don’t want used in a way you don’t like simply shouldn’t be put out into the public at all, regardless of what kind of license you package with it. If you’re an average person and not a billionaire good luck exercising any kind of legal rights for intangible stuff like written words.

It is generally a good idea to include with anything you put out there some kind of license, which could be as simple as a .txt file that says “Made by [name], free to use for xyz purposes with abc caveats”

For a book stuff like that can go into the first or last couple pages that usually include all sorts of random boring information and publisher credits and whatnot

Just keep in mind that hard drives do not last forever. They’ll last a few years of regular use, maybe up to a decade if you’re lucky. Storing media on a hard drive is not like having a box of books in your basement, your kids aren’t going to be able to use them in 40 years.

It was only a matter of time before Google put their foot down and insisted that you can’t have a good experience on YouTube. Its time is coming.

lmao good fucking luck

ublock origin on firefox hasn’t blocked in-player twitch ads for me in years. i just never use twitch because of it though

Yeah, this shit’s just weird all around. Don’t ask for money, but swap the site to invite-only because people aren’t giving you money? Calling it invite-only, but offering no path or conditions for getting an invite? Calling it invite-only but saying that it will at some point be open again? Giving no explanation as to when or why it might open again? If it costs too much money to be open why would it open up?

Just weird. Use your words, people.

Watch me

It’s a fantastic resource even if you are personally kinda cringe.

Japan is an American corporation

Abolish copyright law, it does nothing but stymie creativity

fuck off with this pedo shit, you fucking freak

Many people that download Firefox are doing so to escape google, and if they are not born as cyber security experts they may download Firefox and continue with no real improvement to their privacy.

Uh, if they’re already downloading an entire browser for the purpose of escaping google, they can also do the extremely minimal research required to learn how to actually get decent privacy from doing so. In fact, whoever told them about Firefox being better in this regard probably already explained this stuff to them

I play chess on lichess and go on OGS and I had no idea before opening this thread that they were open source.

Open source software is just better I guess

Executed better than I expected tbh. You can tell they’ve had a lot of this prepared for years.

What if every software became FOSS? Who would put in the free labor to write the software to print a page, or show an image on screen, or create something more complex like a machine learning advanced AI software?

Would it simply be that everyone provides for each other? Everyone pitches in? What about people who have bills to pay? Would their bills be covered?

To your questions in the second quoted paragraph, basically, yes. In a just society, each person’s needs would be accounted for already. The labor you contribute back to the society would be according to your own passions. You would find something fulfilling to do with your time without having to worry about having a bullshit job to avoid homelessness or starvation.

jesus christ this comm sucks. just nothing but slurs and unfunny stories.

Yeah, that’s what I noticed about the 4chan-related subreddits, too. It’s basically all 4chan has to offer. “haha, we’re racist!” or equivalent.
