They ruled the planet for 150 million years and didn’t ruin the environment once ?
That’s what the octopodes want you to think.
- Comment on Temu: British artist's anger at finding work on site without permission 1 week ago:
Temu sell it for just over the cost of production, while the artist sells it with a high mark up, there’s a difference in affordability.

The purpose of the military is to fight enemies of the state. If you send the military to fight your own citizens you are declaring them an enemy of the state, effectively declaring civil war.

Plausible deniability? Nobody will be able to prove any video of you is real.

Thanks for being the first person to actually explain that rather than just downvoting.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 3 weeks ago:
It’s basic SEO slop logic applied to video.
All the popular topics are already crowded, so you shotgun very specific search terms.
For instance, if you have a web shop selling fish equipment, “how to keep fish” is probably extremely crowded, so you would target a bunch of specific search terms like “how to teach crabs to read classical Latin”

- Comment on White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents 4 weeks ago:
all the Republican party stands for anymore is triggering others
That’s just an extension of how American politicians in general always focus on wedge issues, rather than improving material conditions for the working class.

To be fair that sounds exactly like something an organic redditor would say.
- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 4 weeks ago:
Persecutors have the monopoly on getting people charged with crimes.
I had to look this up and I’m surprised that in most states private prosecution is barred. In the UK it’s still legal, if expensive and uncommon.
- Comment on Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk 4 weeks ago:
All new housing should be built as high above sea level as possible, instead we are building in flood plains.

When did the big issue become Maoist? 😆
Not that I’m complaining, it’s certainly an improvement.
- Comment on UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion] 5 weeks ago:
There are plenty of political figures saying we should call China the enemy, very few that openly say we should call the USA an enemy.
That’s not my point though, because you could also say it about other countries (Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc), the fact is dealing with countries that do things we consider shitty is a basic part of geopolitics, unless you want to start a war on twelve fronts.

Everything they say about China could also be said about the USA.

- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 5 weeks ago:
It states the code and files will be CC-NC licensed, which isn’t open source.

legally
Therein lies the other issue, unless the creator has millions of dollars to fund lawsuits, if a large company or Chinese company decides to clone it he can do nothing. The only people who will respect the license are individuals and small businesses.

Also means that a robust community of people creating businesses to sell variations of the hardware for those who aren’t as maker friendly cannot emerge, correct?
Correct, that’s exactly the problem with NC licenses.

Despite the clickbait headline this isn’t open source
Open Printer will use the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license
The NC license isn’t open source, it violates point six of the OSD

- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 1 month ago:
This is one of the reasons Gnosticism exists. In the gnostic interpretation the God of the old testament was the demiurge, while the snake (which may actually be an eagle, translation is hard) is identified with God or Jesus.
