- Comment on China is cracking down on young women who write gay erotica 20 hours ago:
Do people have to be respectful toward bigotry?
Or is bigotry forbidden by rule 4?
It cannot be both.
And the consistent problem with .ML is that they will excuse and promote this bigotry, on the basis that China can do nothing wrong. To them, the actions of the Chinese government are necessarily righteous and just, and anyone saying otherwise will be censored for “racism.” That context is unavoidable on Lemmy on the same day a donation reminder pops up asking to fund Dessalines and Nutomic, who are active participants in this pattern of campist censorship.
You wanna circle back and say “eat shit” is poor behavior - fine. But I do not respect the idea that jabbing apologists for this bigotry is somehow a failure of inclusion.

Being a tankie has nothing to do with age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity / expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity, or orientation.
It’s a shite political opinion where this kind of OUTRIGHT BIGOTRY is excused, because of who’s doing it. Fuck that and fuck anyone defending that.
Rule 4 does not excuse silencing people who say: this is fucking awful. People who will defend it are wrong.
Rule 4 is why those people are wrong.

“Where have all the communities gone?” is a question.
“Where all the communities have gone” is a statement.

Most anti-AI sentiments seem like misplaced hatred of awful companies forcing nonsense on everybody, or a refusal to place judgement on capitalism itself.

Meta got shit on for pirating books.
Anthropic got shit on for not pirating books.
- Comment on Federal judge sides with Meta in lawsuit over training AI models on copyrighted books 4 days ago:
Right, a 12 GB model trained on 100,000,000 images isn’t big enough to contain an MD5 checksum of each.
The same people expect it to identify the authorship of sentence fragments, but never quote one whole paragraph from any book ever. Now: gigabytes of text could be a significant fraction of all books. But finding a single recognizable page is news. Storing text is not what these companies spent a bajillion dollars on.
- Comment on Federal judge sides with Meta in lawsuit over training AI models on copyrighted books 4 days ago:
Turning books into a language model is transformative. No LLM is a substitute for the original works.
- Comment on Dead OS Walking: 30 Days on Windows XP in 2025 — fireborn 5 days ago:
Windows XP wasn’t even secure and reliable, at the time. At this point it’s indistinguishable from keeping Windows 95 on a full tower from Gateway because nothing else supports your vintage scanner. You’re one step from the tech-priests waving incense as a ritual against crashing.

- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 week ago:
Copyright is about copying. When someone sells you a product, and you buy it, then you own it. No license is involved. Under the first sale doctrine, no license can be involved - a book can’t have an insert with a EULA. They can print it… but it doesn’t matter. You bought that slip of paper, too.
If you stubbornly believe there’s some instant contract required to look at the logo on a candy wrapper, why are you tutting at people for calling that intolerable nonsense, instead of demanding a change to that intolerable nonsense?
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 week ago:
Two crimes, then.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 week ago:
No. I own that copy. It’s not a license to anything. I own it. It’s mine. That’s what the money was for.
Don’t play corporate word games with concepts as basic as having things.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 week ago:
I own every book on my shelf. That copy is not the same as copyright. Grow up.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 week ago:
Books can’t say “by buying this book, nuh uh, you secretly agreed to blah blah blah.”
That shit got thrown out a century ago. Fuck off making excuses for corporate bastards in a new medium.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 week ago:
You own things you buy.
This is theft.
Anyone rolling their eyes and performing apologism can fuck off.

Do not stress over some corporation’s ability to harass and degrade you. Acknowledge a business model is shit - and say, fuck that. If they want better profit margins, spend less money, sell more copies.
- Comment on Proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the Star Trek universe 4 weeks ago:
Acknowledging the overlap in the Trek community and the autism spectrum is not unwelcoming. The neurotypical don’t get this kind of obsessive, and so don’t get these kind of opportunities.
- Comment on Proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the Star Trek universe 4 weeks ago:
You know how sometimes you’re watching an old episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and there’s a quick shot of a control panel on a spaceship and you’re like, “Wait a minute. Haven’t I seen that control panel before in the background of an episode of Frasier?”
Yeah, it’s called autism.
These are the kinds of things a person notices while going through each Star Trek episode taking meticulous screenshots of all the starship overhead displays
The prosecution rests.
