I remembered the american billions, I remembered to use the currency symbol before the number. But it was finally the simple point, instead of a comma, which defeated me.

I think that would average between $5.000 and $3.000 per undocumented immigrant.

That is a poorly written sentence if I’ve ever seen one.

The beatings will continue until moral improves.

Ok, that is kind of clever.

Though I suppose even the dumbest user will chicken out once the terminal pops out.

Maybe Magneto is worthy. He is trying to save his people from discrimination after all.

The image clearly tries to make see like not a single building is left. It’s the intention of this images.

I’m pretty sure there’s a noble intention behind this, but it is misleading, it is propagandistic.

I will provide you a true comparison, similar lightning, similar time of the year. From september 2023 to september 2024. You’ll clearly see the destruction. It’s nothing shy. There’s a lot of destruction. But my images will not exaggerate reality.

There you don’t have to really look into what buildings are still up or not, as it is quite evident in the images what was destroyed to the ground. Even with far worse resolution the portrayal of reality is, IMO, infinity better. And the fact that in 5 minutes, with public resources and from my phone I can create this image that is less propagandistic that the image of the post, is, again IMHO, another evidence on why the image from the post have a higher propagandistic value that informative value.

I’m not saying area was not bombarded. I’m saying the election of that specific picture, time of day without shadows and just after a sandstorm, is made on purpose to exaggerate.

Without supporting any kind of violence. And without denying anything.

I feel obligated to say that this is purposely manipulated. As pictures taken in very different times of day and year make for a faulty comparison that does not portrait reallity.

Specially the time of day (that make shadows disappear on the right picture) and the sandy surfaces make it seems like the image on the right it’s all flat and that buildings are leveled to the ground. And that’s simply not true. It’s just optical illusions.

This does not mean that the areas was not subjected to heavy bombardment, and that all people on that area may have been killed by bombs. But the images presented are just manipulative and I’m against media manipulation no matter how good intentions are behind the manipulative attempt.

IP law firms tried to get their cases into my country and they only got a 50% success rate on court so they stopped trying (cost benefit thing I suppose).

Also private trackers in my country do not allow the use of VPN (why do they care IDK, they say it is to have more control on who join), so there’s little point on getting a VPN for piracy here.

I agree with all those points.

I don’t know if adding exceptional cases to de equation adds to the argument or not. But there are many instances where the ones selling the product are not the ones that made it, and the ones that made it will never see a penny of what you paid for. This is true in old games/media, where rights were bought long ago by corporations and creators see nothing. Also true in any big production made by a big corporation with many workers. The workers who actually create the IP were paid by hour, while corporations and investors get to keep milking the product after creators had been paid.

This will invalidate any argument about creators getting compensated for their work. For those cases at least.

As seen with Tumblr decay, and then Twitter, I think proprietary platforms will never be a safe haven por LGBT communities.

Why would you stay in that platform you are aware of who owns it and what is he doing with it?

Anyone still using twitter should be considered far right, there’s no excuse to stay in that platform.

I mean that creators of a tool shouldn’t be liable for a crime committed with that tool. Unless the tool was purposely made for doing crimes.

Why rely on google which is going down on reliability so quickly.

What we need is a GOOD lemmy based search engine. Which I think is entirely possible with current lemmy implementation.

Counteroffer. We eliminate copyright laws all together. For anyone and everyone.

Let move to a system in which we found the projects before their release. And once released they are available to everyone for free.

Also let’s make a system where everyone can work a basic work like 20-30 hours a week and get a living wage and the rest of the time we can just produce art of any kind of thing for free to anyone as we’ll already had our needs covered and we won’t have the need to monetize every second of out existence.

The butlerian jihad is missing the point here.

The fraud is using bots (not AI just plain python with selenium or something like that. Sorry) for making fake listeners.

AI here is just some coat to hide the fraud a little better, but nothing more.

What.

If he used python for creating the bots, should python creators go to jail?

In the study they said they used a modified version that acted as a tutor, that refused to give direct answers and gave hints to the solution instead.
