I believe this is wrong. They can’t copyright an AI-generated script, but the performance and film based on a script is copyrightable.

Think about this: can you copy and sell the Leonardo and Claire Danes Romeo and Juliet because Shakespeare’s work is in the public domain? No. You cannot.

some_guy ,

I have never used the site either. But a lot of people and information is tied up in. I wish it wasn’t so, but as long as his platform has a large amount of public discourse taking place there, it’ll garner attention.

I wish he’d never bought it. Life would be better for us if that were the case. But, at the moment, this dumbass has an outsized affect on the lives many people online and that will keep getting attention.

If only we could make stupidity painful.

Kicked the tires and it seems promising. Thanks for sharing. I’ll keep an eye on this.

Also, thanks for being cross platform.

Jeff Harmon, his brother and co-founder of Angel Studios, took to X to add: “He is one of 6600+ crowd investors. Seriously, who sorted through 6600 names of random people who put a few hundred dollars into P&A funding and cross checked it with local judicial databases? That’s a lot of work for a nothingburger.”

They always think of deliberate persecution (someone dug up dirt on 6000+ people to target us!) vs reality (news of the arrest broke and this came up investigating his background). I don’t know how broken your brain has to be to think of the former rather than concluding the latter. The alternative is that they know it’s the latter but they lie to deflect because they know their party is made up of mindless idiots who can’t think for themselves.

Probably a mixture of both, really.

Glad to see the school district stand up to their wacko leaders. Critical Race theory has been such bogeyman for conservatives who have no understanding of what it means of where it’s taught (college).

YSK that if you live alone and have a pet, you should carry a card in your wallet to notify the appropriate people of your pet's existence.

Why YSK: There are a lot of people these days living alone with pets and if anything happened to the owner, others may not know to attend to the pet. If something happened to you, a coma, an accident, death, etc, your wallet would be the first place anyone would look for info about you and it would probably be the fastest way to...

I don’t know why this never occurred to me. I’m adding one now.

Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers (www.cnn.com)

Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers::Lyft and Uber threatened to stop doing business in Minneapolis after the city council adopted a new rule Thursday that would set a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.

They have corporate employees beyond the drivers. They likely have offices and such.

Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

Or claim that he was poisoned by the deep state.

ETA: Fuck this lady. She makes everyone who isn’t a MAGA shithead look bad. I want her locked up.

some_guy ,

If another man jacks of thinking about your wife, the sex with her is slightly less satisfying. /s

Fuck these small-minded fucks.

You do realize that means very little in the South, right?

“Patrick Braxton accomplished something no other black resident of the City of Newbern had ever accomplished since the city’s founding in 1854: he was duly elected Mayor of the City,” the lawsuit claims. “However, the minority White residents of the City, long accustomed to exercising total control over city government, refused to accept this outcome.”

Black mayor of tiny Alabama town says he was ousted by his White predecessor

some_guy ,

I can’t figure out what outcome the cop was trying to achieve by withholding the video. The defense asked for it. The white guys. Maybe the cop is Black and wanted them to lose?

some_guy ,

It should be a war crime.

some_guy ,

There you go again with weak arguments that don’t compare to this.

Let’s try a different track: I’m asking you to to go to all of those places and do all of those actions. It’ll be more productive than either (good-faith) getting the conversation distracted responding to explain why those aren’t good points or (bad-faith) derailing things just for the fun of being contrarian.

I’m not afraid of gay dudes. I’m afraid of their dicks! /s

This calls for one of the best articles about music I’ve ever read. God, I wish I could read it for the first time again. Had me in literal tears.

That would defeat the purpose of stoking fear.

some_guy ,

Sorry, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.

some_guy ,

That’s a cool trick. I didn’t know about it, but it also didn’t surprise me. I did test it to confirm first, though.

some_guy ,

My little tuxedo was just harassing me (in a good way) for pets right before I found this. I hadn’t realized she had things so hard. I’m going to apologize for all the times I told her I have to work and didn’t drop everything. Poor kitty.

some_guy ,

Both kitties:

Athena: Hungry! I’m hungry! I know it’s not dinner time, but I’d be happy to eat now if you’re ready!

Nova: I know you love me and I want you to pet me. Stop doing whatever you’re doing, I want attention. I love you back.

or

Nova: I’m ready to play, idiot. Pick up this toy I dragged across the room.

Do what I do. Don’t care about the things that you don’t care about.

Although watching this since yesterday has been somewhat entertaining. Seems like a public figure stepped on his dick.

Was at a large grocery store yesterday and saw masks on (a small number of) both staff and customers.

To quote a Tshirt I once saw: Kindness is more punk rock than a middle finger.

Wow. Everything you said before this swayed me but this is such an awesome statement that I had to say thanks for expanding my vernacular.

YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead (fortune.com)

YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

some_guy ,

The lawsuit claims Mean LLC manufactured an easily removable gun lock, offering a way to circumvent New York laws prohibiting assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.

This seems like the only part of the suits that might have traction. All the other bits seem easy to dismiss. That’s not a statement on whether others share responsibility, only on what seems legally actionable in the US.

some_guy ,

Because every gun owner thinks they are “the good guys”

Just wait till I use my gun to save a bunch of lives. Then you’ll see that I’m a hero. /s

some_guy ,

I can’t realistically stab ten people in a crowd before I’m disarmed by the mob. And I certainly can’t do it from a hotel window.

some_guy ,

Sad Oligarch podcast. This has been pretty interesting,

some_guy ,

All I know is that I keep my oven and stove running with the AC on and the windows open. I’m doing my part by wasting as much energy as possible. Wait… did I miss the point? /s

some_guy ,

Over a decade ago, I dated someone of a different race from me. I remember being anxious that I wouldn’t recognize her in a crowd the first handful of times that we met in crowded places. I’ve become much better at distinguishing people of different races since, but that’s only because I have a lot of racial exposure where I live.

I don’t know any way of changing this natural occurrence other than repeated exposure. Your brain needs practice. You don’t sound the least bit racist. In fact, you sound the opposite because you’re looking for better mental tooling.

some_guy ,

It’s the feature that let us become the dominant predator. We could track large game that is wounded until the collapsed from heat exhaustion. Yay sweaty humans!

And this is how you learned that you can fly. Damn it, now I’m jealous.

some_guy ,

I was afraid that I’d die in my sleep. Not like from health issues. Monsters or something unknown that only existed when I was alone in the dark. To a later age than I’d prefer to share.

Fuck, all right, I got over it last week. /s but the rest was true.

some_guy ,

I would not fight that. I already think that we are ruled by outsiders (rich, geriatric boomers).

some_guy ,

Unless he’s personally being enriched (as opposed to making a living), that wouldn’t bother me. I have never felt the need to check. I donate because it’s useful to me.

I didn’t buy a Tesla because that fucker is enriched af and I hate him and I can get other cars that serve me just as well. There’s no (real) replacement or substitute for Wikipedia.

some_guy ,

Holy shit. Thanks for this counterpoint. I thought I was onboard with this and now I realize there’s more to this issue. As always…

some_guy ,

If you have the accounting power to bill for it, you have the power to list it up front. The only way you can’t list fees is if you can’t figure out how to charge people for them.

More than 26,000 people have died from gunshot wounds this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

I used to accept that I’d likely get cancer if I lived long enough…

some_guy ,

The problem is not the he got a laughably high fine, it’s that the others don’t. I think something in the hundreds of thousands would be more appropriate for a private individual. I expect an appeal to reign that in some, if filed.

Political leader in Ecuador is killed less than a week after presidential candidate’s assassination (apnews.com)

The unprecedented violence shaking Ecuador claimed the life of another political leader Monday, bringing the number of politics-related slayings within the last four weeks to three, including that of a presidential candidate.

The gang boss was moved out of a jail with lighter security into a maximum-security prison in the same large complex of detention facilities in the port city of Guayaquil. The transfer occurred after about 4,000 soldiers and police officers raided the jail where Macías was being held and seized weapons, ammunition and explosives.

This sounds like prisons are run like shitty motels. How are there ammunition and explosives in a prison?

some_guy ,

They will continue to meddle in copyright cases. They aren’t monsters like ole Ronnie Boy, but they are problematic.

Sounds like his team finally convinced him that this is a losing fight.

Group of up to 50 people shoplift about $100K worth of luxury items from L.A. mall; used bear spray against guards (www.nbcnews.com)

Between 30 to 50 people swarmed the Nordstrom at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, making off with thousands of dollars worth of luxury handbags and high-end clothing, an LAPD spokesman told NBC News.

I don’t care about the corp. I care about the workers who have to clean it up.
