I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect them.
It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.
Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.
And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.
@rysiek If you consider Audiobook Narrators to be artists and audiobooks to be art (I do, honestly, on both counts), then here is a link to my catalogue of high heat audiobooks:
@AdaraAstin I absolutely do consider audiobooks art and audiobook narrators artists. Many books get a completely new shine, new depth, in an audiobook version!
@bookbook Merci, le fediverse fonctionne 😁. J’ai eu peur de pas les recevoir car ils sont arrivés 2 jours après que je sois parti en vacances (heureusement qu’on ne partait qu’une semaine, sinon le colis serait reparti 😅).
Just had my son diagnosed. I lied and said we were getting further advice about his dyslexic strengths and weaknesses. Because I didn't want to tell him unless we were sure as being an adolescent is hard enough.
What's a really good resource that I can use to help explain what it means?
On Mastodon, Lemmy communities show up similarly to how a regular Mastodon user does, and can be searched and tagged similarly. So in this case, OP tagged this community specifically rather than any others with the same name.
I believe if you try and tag multiple it only posts to the first community mentioned in your toot, but don’t quote me on that one!
I wish I could return to a time when video games didn't feel like chores. Looking at most of the games on my computer, and they are all live-service games which take up too much of my time.
I need to quit starting games that don’t have a defined beginning, middle, and end.
Maybe I will take August off from video games which are ongoing services.
@GGroslier Sympa ! Moi je crois que c’était Mario Bros sur NES ou Yoshi’s Cookie sur GameBoy (probablement Mario Bros, mais difficile d’en être sûr, mais parents ont oublié et moi j’étais trop jeune pour m’en rappeler 😅).
I'm looking for Edinburgh Fringe shows about hidden or forgotten history! I feel like I saw lots of shows like this advertised last year, and I didn’t actually see any of them. Please recommend these to me 🥰💛
Not sure how long it was going before the fire department arrived, but it was maybe ten minutes between when I heard the sirens and the fire was under control.
A short thread about books, me, and a micro-book review. To start with, in a world of “a-holics.” I am, among other addictions, a page-a-holic. Therefore, I read (predominantly) short books. Once I start, it’s difficult (as in, makes me incredibly agitated and impossible to live with) for me to put a book down until it is done. This is not a nerdy sort of bragging, it’s more a confession, of sorts, as to why today, instead of doing the things, I read a book. 1/ #bookstodon
