All you people suddenly advocating for the abolition of copyright because it’s being inconsistently enforced, without offering an alternative for creatives to not be ripped off, have evidently never created anything.

part of why we're an anarchist is because we understand that every institution, over time, comes to prioritize its own existence over whatever purpose it was nominally created for. it may happen faster or slower depending on the people involved and what they believe, but at the end of the day the anthill is not concerned about the opinions of ants.

social structures intended to have human purpose need to not be shaped as institutions.

If you know someone who would benefit from omg.lol’s services or from connecting with our community, especially someone from a marginalized population, feel free to point them to our sponsorship program! https://home.omg.lol/info/sponsorships

Huge thanks to @slowclap for sponsoring an omg.lol address! (And to all of our other amazing sponsors, of course.)

Sponsoring an omg.lol address does two cool things: it helps someone connect with omg.lol who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it, and it also directly supports omg.lol. :prami_contented:

And during the month of September it does a third cool thing as well, since I'm donating 50% of everything omg.lol earns to St. Jude (including sponsored addresses).

Reminder Aaron Swartz was prosecuted because he threatened the copyright system's stranglehold on academia.

@sundogplanets I'm a particular fan of Hajime Narukawa's AuthaGraph projection, which divides the globe into 96 equal triangles, maps them onto a tetrahedron then unfolds them into a rectangle!

As you might imagine, it looks bizarre when you're used to the Mercator, but it does preserve the true size ratios between land and water far better than most other projections.

@textfiles Would this be the same Internet Archive which recently promoted an advertorial about "ClimateGPT", and is thus complicit in the hardware shortages and insane prices?

i grew up in the 90s, as a computer geek. this meant i soaked in the techno-optimism of the age. it has been really disorienting seeing that techno-optimism lead to this current era of techno-authoritarianism, lead by the proponents of that techno-optimism.
the bright and shining future i was promised was a boot stomping on the face of humanity forever.

Yup, confirmed my thoughts that Asia is largely positive about AI and are adopting it eagerly.

If the #AI pundits (those for and against) go to Chinese social media, they will be probably be surprised by how AI is discussed there - AI art and short films are greeted with positivity and enthusiasm. Discussions about AI tech are largely level beaded and neutral, highlighting both good and bad.
