I mean, to be fair genAI is just plagiarism with extra steps so it’s no different from them issuing takedowns for shitty mobile games ripping off Frozen characters. Indie studios are actively harmed by GenAI as well, given that if their content gets fed into MidJourney they don’t have the resources to battle in court. So I think if GenAI faces more scrutiny as a whole and laws are put in place to stop people profiting off material generated on copyrighted material, the only people harmed are those pumping out AI slop to make a quick buck - which I’m happy with

Like to be clear I don’t like Disney and I have a lot of grievances with copyright laws at large. But a broken clock’s right twice a day and I think they’re based for doing this

I hate Disney and their unhinged copyright policies but I hate generative AI just a bit more, so I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

What a cute little guy!! Do hedgehogs there often go out during the day? Where I live I’ve only ever seen them at night

I think Tumblr is still fun! It’s not as lively anymore and the staff suck, but no algorithm means you really only see stuff you choose to see and the tag blocking makes it so easy to curate your experience.

And I’ll take weird unhinged ads over TikTok shop or whatever happens on Twitter any day lol

Italy! Lived in a bunch of different places over the years but Italy’s my home and I don’t se myself leaving again hehe

Unfortunately I don’t like butter, but I’ll keep that in mind for my brother who does like it!

Seeing stuff like that makes me feel so thankful to live somewhere with (mostly) functional public transit lol

Not quite discovered but I recently started making popcorn at home and it’s so good!! Before I only ever had popcorn at the cinema (where I don’t go often anyway), but as it turns out buying corn kernels and making it myself makes for a cheap and tasty snack. Less recently, I tried eel sushi and really liked it!! Shame I only know of one restaurant that does it though

That image feels like a shitpost and god do I wish it were a shitpost. Worst timeline fr

Between 5:30 and 6:00 am, work or no work I’m just a morning person in general. If I’m not up by 7 am my dog comes over to check if I’m still alive lol

It should be illegal for bots to ignore robots.txt tbh, like fuck AI bros in general but the ones who go out of their way to scrape sites that make it clear they don’t want to be scraped… Hope their shitty LLMs get poisoned beyond saving. And that it costs them a fortune in electricity bills. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Unfortunately my stuffed animals have been relegated to living in the closet since my real animal takes up their former bed space, and also loves shredding plushies lol. But that was me until a few years ago!

After living with my grandma for so long I started saying “god willing” and people keep telling me it makes me sound old lol

I don’t think I’ve ever been sunburnt in my life lol, I just turn bronze when I step out in the sun

I see that .it domain 👀 siete italiani? Regardless it looks like a fantastic project, kudos! Especially interested in the static site hosting since right now I use an American service (Porkbun) for my own site, $30/year for 1 gb which is enough for me, but if I could switch to a European host for a similar price I totally would!

Great!! Whiskey went to the woods and dog park every day for the past week - except today because we ran into a boar in the woods and had to run back lol so no dog park either (as it’s on the other side of the woods). He’s also been sleeping on my mum’s bed every night lately which is very cute! She doesn’t live here but has to stay an extra few weeks due to an injury that needs healing - and Whiskey is very happy about it because he loves his grandma (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

What a gorgeous photo!! I love the perspective, makes me want to draw something similar!

What a horrible day to have eyes.

Necessary is one of those I never struggled with somehow! Miscellaneous and mischief, on the other hand…

Well, nature is… What it is lol. Roman seagulls are built different man, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s traces of rat and pigeon in that
