  • The internet tankies are just a small, mostly self-isolating group of authoritarian west-haters who wank each other off about how much theory they’ve read. They do not reach out to engage with the rest of the internet for any other reason than because their usual circlejerk spankbank ran dry and they need to refill it with new material. That entails baiting unsuspecting people into arguing with them by spouting rehearsed and reused, easily disproven talking point so the unsuspecting person is engaged with them for a few replies until they’re deep enough into a comment thread that nobody else is going to read it. That’s when their friends show up and they begin jerking each other off over you.

    If you get to this point, you lost. Further replies add to their spankbank. Not replying proves them right and adds to their spankbank.

    The only winning move is not to reply.









  • Okay but I wasn’t arguing morality or about children posting nudes of themselves. I’m just telling you that works submitted into the public domain can’t be retracted and there are models trained on exclusively open data, which a lot of AI haters don’t know, understand or won’t acknowledge. That’s all I’m saying. AI is not bad, corporations make it bad.

    The law isn’t a reliable compass for what is or isn’t right.

    Fuck yea it ain’t, I’m the biggest copyright and IP law hater on this platform and I’ll get ahead of the next 10 replies by saying no it’s not because I want to enable mindless corporate content scraping; it’s because human creativity shouldn’t not be boxed in. It should be shared freely, lest our culture be lost.



  • TOR is just slightly harder to keep up on as far as being listed on the same tables as commercial VPN hosts because it’s so dynamic. Anyone can spin up a node and be a relay or, for the brave/foolish, an exit node in a few minutes.

    Actually Tor relays and exits are published, public knowledge and you will be on every list that cares about listing those within hours of spinning up a relay or exit.


  • I can’t make you understand more than you’re willing to understand. Works in the public domain are forfeited for eternity, you don’t get to come back in 10 years and go ‘well actually I take it back’. That’s not how licensing works. That’s not victim blaming, that’s telling you not to license your nudes in such a manner that people can use them freely.
