I wouldn’t. Ideas should be free, and there should be no barriers to them, or ownership considered. If you create a thing, everyone else should be able to use that thing however they wish, and with no limitations, to create their own things. Full stop, no exceptions.

This is why I pirate. I will never consider or acknowledge ownership or license when consuming media, art, or information. If you release an idea to the greater world, then it’s my idea, my art, my music, my software, just as much as it’s yours as the creator. And I’ll do with it whatever I will.

You use the term “AI slop” more than once, but honestly I feel like a lot of the “real” art that’s shared here is human slop. I guess the thing I would have that most people wouldn’t agree with is that most art by humans is shit, and we shouldn’t feel like we have to pretend it isn’t just so we don’t hurt someone’s feelings. You ever been on DeviantArt and looked at the newest submissions? Half of it looks like it was finger painted by toddlers.

There’s a lot of artists walking around thinking that AI is gonna steal their hard work, when nobody with eyes would want their work hanging on their wall, because it’s human slop done by someone with no talent.

If that’s the litmus test, then there are certainly animals that aren’t sentient and don’t meet those requirements. Is it OK to eat animals that do not have brains?

Using AI to be your voice when you have trouble articulating something you want to say has to be one of the best uses of the technology I have seen to date. It makes me wonder what other uses this tech could have, especially for people who are neurodivergent or disabled.

Yes, I did read it. I’m guessing you did not. if you had, you would know why he used the AI video. This was a very constructive use of AI that not only didn’t hurt anyone, but helped someone with a problem.

A person has social anxiety, and that makes you hate AI? That sounds pretty ableist.

Good to hear, I’ll be sure to check it out when that’s added!

It looks nice and smooth, but you need to add support for 2FA because I can’t log in without it.

Jesus fucking christ on a buttplug, what the actual fuck is your problem, dude?

FUCKING DO IT

it says “this hidden site”, meaning it was a site on the dark web. It probably took them awhile to figure out were the site was located so they could shut it down.

It’s not a strawman if they repeat your own logic back at you. You just had a shit take.

The only problem I have with this is that I refuse to think of some teenager hanging off of Elon’s coattails as famous. In four years when the next president kills DOGE, nobody is even gonna remember who this kid was.

I’ve seen a lot of FOSS purists before, but this guy has gotta be the Linux equivalent of one of those dudes who lives in the forest with a tin hat so the guberment can’t read his thoughts.

I can’t be outraged at DOGE for something I would do/currently do. That would be pretty hypocritical.

Then that achieves the same goal. If they’re ignoring clicks from you, and you’re blocking their trackers, then they probably don’t have a good profile on you, because whatever they do have is either old, poisoned, or both.

if you think everyone around you is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

Most people I run across aren’t assholes, you’re just an exception.

be clear when you say shit and people won’t misunderstand you and treat you like a fucking moron.

Obviously, when name Cloudflare specifically more than once, it can be so hard to tell which platform I mean. It’s an easy mistake to make if you don’t know how to read.

not knowing how a platform specific product works doesn’t dictate intelligence.

No, but using hostility as a way to distract from when you’ve gone and made yourself look like an idiot is certainly a defense commonly used by, as you put it, “fucking morons”. Now, is there any other pearls of wisdom you want to offer us, Mr. Trump, or was your eternally youthful ardor spent on that one emission?

Well, if you were so smart yourself, you would know the Cloudflare certs aren’t for public use. The certs your site uses to communicate with the user are shared among multiple Cloudflare users, and aren’t accessible to anyone but Cloudflare. You can’t generate, revoke, view, or download them. The decade long certs you generate are for communication between your origin server and Cloudflare, they aren’t exposed to the public internet. If you use an Argo tunnel, which many selfhosters do, they’re used for the secure VPN tunnel between yourself and Cloudflare. Since all your traffic comes from Cloudflare, a smart user would whitelist those IPs and ignore web traffic from everything else if they weren’t going to use a tunnel. Even if someone got ahold of them, which is unlikely, they wouldn’t do anyone any good, because they would need access to your Cloudflare account as well to change the origin server.

But then, you aren’t so smart yourself. You’re just some random nobody on the internet that decided to start using their arsehole for speaking. And as is typical in such a situation, everything you say reeks of shit.

Now, do you want to continue embarrassing yourself? Because you’re not hurting my feelings by doing so.

You’re just not a pleasant person, are you? Every time you’ve replied to one of my posts, it’s to be a twatwaffle.

An ignorant twatwaffle, considering you obviously have no idea how Cloudflare certs work. Which ends up making me look like I’m smarter than I really am, so thanks!
