  • Dude that’s not how I was brought up in the Linux community. If you don’t discourage the kids today how will they respect your authority tomorrow? No better to destroy their egos now so they won’t be competition later. The LINUX community really died when we stopped being jerks to n00bs.

    tl;dr - You’re too dumb.

    /S



  • Second hand is different from pirating because the royalties have been paid. When it’s sold to the second owner the status of having paid the royalties passes with it. With physical media the disk, tape, or reel and the license to use it privately are the same thing. Otherwise we’d need a system to keep track of who owns every disk, tape, or reel, and who owns the license to each and that’s a sure fire way to get everyone to begin pirating.




  • You think I didn’t read or acknowledge your point. I did. It’s not well thought out and gives excuses for people who do not deserve it. It’s a bad argument.

    I’ll repeat, Trump voters are certainly ignorant and irrational but they’re not mentally ill. Being willfully ignorant and irrational is not a mental illness. If it were they would not be responsible for their actions, we should forgive them and have pitty for the challenges their mental illness causes them.

    Calling a Trump voter mentally ill let’s them off the hook. If they were they couldn’t have known what they were doing, they were sick. No. They’re not sick. They’re twisted but not sick. Don’t give those people the benefit of the doubt. They’ll use that against you.





  • My dude anything is possible when you gatekeep information. You’re defending making child sexual abuse material (SCAM).

    This is what the entire case was sort of about, and also explicitly not about. Does it harm children and the answer was the first amendment. That’s not really an answer. Honestly this isn’t a problem for the courts to figure out it’s a legislative problem and good luck with that.

    My personal opinion, no one should be able to create any sexualized content of children regardless of whether or not it’s AI generated, authentic CSAM, hand drawn art, or anything else. Children should not be sexualized, I can’t believe this is up for debate.




  • Actually they can sue you. Anyone can sue anyone else over anything. It’s whether the lawsuit or not has any merits and will be carried on is what decides that. If you have a lot of money and want to fuck over a poor person sue them for nothing. The poors still have to spend all their money defending themselves against nothing or else they’re in contempt of court and you get the satisfaction of destroying them financially forever. No crime, but the poors still get punished.
