Always has some mighty fine wine though.

Yeah nobody's arguing sharing digital files, hell I'm an avid pirate myself, but in this case it isn't just "downloading The Godfather," it's downloading it, editing out the credits for literally no reason, and re-uploading it under my account on another site.

Honestly with something like The Godfather it wouldn't really matter, but with a much lesser known pet project B movie, even if the creators support piracy they'd like you to at least maybe see their name. This comic would be the latter, while you could safely trim the name off of like, Charles Shultz's Peanuts, and assume people probably can figure it out.

Tbf if I lived in one of the areas where they were getting vandalized for a time, I'd probably use the "don't vandalize me bro" sticker too.

Does anyone know how to download content off those weird Roku channels? I'd like to download a bunch of stuff off of one before they (I assume) shut it down.

Tbf, something in a store has to be available before you can steal it, if it is sold out or not yet released it'll be harder.

And really in this context "theft" is like "piracy is theft," as much as I also don't like AI, nobody else was deprived of the banner simply because db0 generated it. Piracy isn't theft (and the owner of the Pirate instance isn't likely to be persuaded by that argument at least, even if you disagree..)

And tbf, "well it was trained on actual artist's work" and so was almost every artist in history, that's kind of how it works to a degree. The greats separate themselves but a lot of human created art is derivative.

I mean there's plenty to get mad at AI for, personally I'm not a fan of how people are using it as a brain replacement, how it enables further the ubiquitous spying, how people want it to replace humanity, oh and y'know literal actual murder robots in the form of autonomous loitering drones is probably a bad idea, and coming soon to a town near you. But that said "theft" isn't super high up on my list, personally.

Though this could arguably fit under brain replacement, but more accurately I'd say it was "talent replacement" which is a little more defendable imo, like everyone should be able to think for the most part, not everyone can draw well. Does it affect how much I can appreciate the art in question? Absolutely. But it's not necessarily dumbing db0 down just because he can't draw for shit.

Yes.

Sex pistols will always be punk rock.

Well not to be that guy but they never were, they were started by a designer clothes store owner to sell his clothes, they were sellouts before they even began.

They imitated punk pretty well though.

But your point stands and I do agree, just a bad example lol.

Well humor is subjective, but beyond how I feel personally, uhhh yeah people do it all the time and it never gets called out as body shaming or any such thing, nobody cares. Bald, fat, ugly, small dick, all are fair game, especially if you have at least one other undesirable trait. Andrew Tate is balding, Trump is fat and has a little dick, anyone who has a large vehicle also has a small dick, anyone who owns guns has a small dick, the British have a small dick, etc, it's everywhere and everyone else seems to love it.

Same question for an old EEE pc with like maybe 1gb ram, trying antix now, may try Slax next, will look into peppermint.

I really want to get the old Illuminati "INWO" Card Game from Steve Jackson and play it, but the big boxes are way too much money on the ebay and idk anyone who plays.

Instead I've been playing Munchkin's Fantasy variant.

If you haven't read the Illuminautus Trilogy from Robert Anton Wilson you might get a kick out of it, it (along with Discordianism and The Church of the SubGenius) seem like clear influences on Steve's Illuminati work (there is after all a SubGenius INWO expansion which I do happen to have, though I lack the rest), I think he knows it's tongue in cheek.
