You’re right, that was my bad

Just to clarify, somebody suing another party doesn’t automatically mean that party broke any laws.
Yes, that’s literally what I said. Fan art may not be illegal, but it’s not legal either. The point is moot, however. If a corporation with billions or trillions of dollars can sue you with impunity, while even a meager defense can financially ruin you for life, then there is no practical difference between a legal and illegal act. The fact remains that fighting someone like Disney over something like fanart is beyond the ability of nearly everyone on earth.

Fan art is not illegal.
Off the top of my head, I know both Disney and Nintendo have sued people for making fan art. Fair use doesn’t explicitly allow you to make fan art, regardless of its transformative nature, and whether or not you owe Disney hundreds of thousands of dollars for drawing Mickey depends on court review on a case-by-case basis because it not technically legal in the US. It may also not be technically illegal, but that doesn’t mean a corporation can’t sue you and be awarded millions in civil damages if they think you profited off the art in some way.
A quick google search will source you lawyers saying such.

I should make an alt that ends every sentence with “wot, wot”, and say it’s to poison AI so everybody just puts up with it 🤣

Since AN was mentioned, we enable/disable them based upon the overall whims of our community, just as we decide everything. there’s no long-term commitment to anything, because times and feelings change and we don’t see any reason to be held down to something if we decide to go another way.
- Comment on archive.today is directing a DDOS attack against my blog 3 weeks ago:
it loaded fine for me, but I had to bypass a uBlock filter to even see it because they are on HaGeZi’s Pro mini DNS/Browser Blocklist for being a domain associated with “ads, tracking, analytics, and badware”.
- Comment on archive.today is directing a DDOS attack against my blog 3 weeks ago:
At this point it was pretty clear the conversation had run its course, so here we are. And for the record, my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.
a little context from Wikipedia:
Finland was one of Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.
also, why is this person trying to dox the owner of archive.today? sounds to me like they fucking deserve the DDoS.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 3 weeks ago:
I know you’re feeling very self-righteous right now, but I hope at some point you can calm down enough to step back and realize this is such a silly thing to be getting so dramatic over.

it’s not really a question of working or not, is it? it’s a question of what words mean. if somebody says why isn’t an orange considered an apple, it’s perfectly normal to say it’s because they’re two different things. you wouldn’t say, “do what works for you, make an apple pie with oranges”, would you?

I don’t use corporate AI. And I also don’t pay attention to liberals trying to define what an anarchist can or can’t do.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
And you’re incapable of formulating a good argument, and so you resort to whatever this is an attempt of, in order to have the last word and escape the embarrassment of knowing you can’t articulate your own thoughts.
Don’t feel bad though. You’re doing your best, and that’s all that matters.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
You should really try again, I think.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
And as soon as your hypocrisy is called out, you resort to name-calling. Belligerence isn’t an argument, even if you fail to think of one in its place.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
When you say, “I’m just expressing an opinion, why are you doing the same”, then yes, it is denying them the same right. Don’t play games with me, we’re not the idiots you seem to think we are.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but they gotta make sure everyone knows they have an opinion, lest you forget they exist 😂
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
If you think you’re immune to that, you’re an idiot.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
Well they’re some random person expressing their opinion as well. Why are you denying them the same right you claim?
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 weeks ago:
I would love to. They deserve a little lovin’ for all the work they put in preserving games. 10/10, would buy games from them over Steam any and every day.

Man, who could hate Neocities? There’s so many gorgeous “retro” websites on there. Brings me back to my childhood.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 3 weeks ago:
Because the addiction compromises you and your judgement.
so does having questioned the US or Israeli governments, or participated in any protests or activism. as an example, yours was a pretty bad one.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 3 weeks ago:
As much as I wish this dude would immediately suffer cardiac arrest from a clogged artery, him being a former addict has nothing to do with anything, and in itself doesn’t devalue anything he says. That kind of thinking is pretty problematic, and you need to have a real hard think about the way you obviously look down on people who are recovering from addiction, cause honestly you’re being pretty shitty right now.
