The only good authoritarian is a dead authoritarian.

What’s the problem with that? You’re still reading, it’s not like you aren’t improving yourself.
I mean, even if you’re reading smut, it’s still good for you from a physical and mental health perspective because reading strengthens your mind, helps you empathize with others, and also reduces your stress.
If your addiction is reading books on a device, that’s not really a problem. You’re still reading.
Masturbating.
It works as advertised.
absolutely nothing.
When I told an anti-AI artist I was a photographer the other day, she told me maybe somebody I would learn to draw like a “real” artist, when I would understand how bad AI was.

I don’t think my IP has ever actually changed, and I never asked for a static one. But that doesn’t really matter, because these days it’s a small matter to dynamically update the IP.
The rise (and hopefully fall) of the Fourth Reich.
Idk, but it said LEDs on the sticker
You can get cheap switches with very dim LED lights inside the switch itself. You can’t see the LED glow when it’s daytime, but at night they are just bright enough to tell you where the switch is at.
I wouldn’t. Ideas should be free, and there should be no barriers to them, or ownership considered. If you create a thing, everyone else should be able to use that thing however they wish, and with no limitations, to create their own things. Full stop, no exceptions.
This is why I pirate. I will never consider or acknowledge ownership or license when consuming media, art, or information. If you release an idea to the greater world, then it’s my idea, my art, my music, my software, just as much as it’s yours as the creator. And I’ll do with it whatever I will.
You use the term “AI slop” more than once, but honestly I feel like a lot of the “real” art that’s shared here is human slop. I guess the thing I would have that most people wouldn’t agree with is that most art by humans is shit, and we shouldn’t feel like we have to pretend it isn’t just so we don’t hurt someone’s feelings. You ever been on DeviantArt and looked at the newest submissions? Half of it looks like it was finger painted by toddlers.
There’s a lot of artists walking around thinking that AI is gonna steal their hard work, when nobody with eyes would want their work hanging on their wall, because it’s human slop done by someone with no talent.
If that’s the litmus test, then there are certainly animals that aren’t sentient and don’t meet those requirements. Is it OK to eat animals that do not have brains?
if you think everyone around you is an asshole, you’re the asshole.
Most people I run across aren’t assholes, you’re just an exception.
be clear when you say shit and people won’t misunderstand you and treat you like a fucking moron.
Obviously, when name Cloudflare specifically more than once, it can be so hard to tell which platform I mean. It’s an easy mistake to make if you don’t know how to read.
not knowing how a platform specific product works doesn’t dictate intelligence.
No, but using hostility as a way to distract from when you’ve gone and made yourself look like an idiot is certainly a defense commonly used by, as you put it, “fucking morons”. Now, is there any other pearls of wisdom you want to offer us, Mr. Trump, or was your eternally youthful ardor spent on that one emission?
Well, if you were so smart yourself, you would know the Cloudflare certs aren’t for public use. The certs your site uses to communicate with the user are shared among multiple Cloudflare users, and aren’t accessible to anyone but Cloudflare. You can’t generate, revoke, view, or download them. The decade long certs you generate are for communication between your origin server and Cloudflare, they aren’t exposed to the public internet. If you use an Argo tunnel, which many selfhosters do, they’re used for the secure VPN tunnel between yourself and Cloudflare. Since all your traffic comes from Cloudflare, a smart user would whitelist those IPs and ignore web traffic from everything else if they weren’t going to use a tunnel. Even if someone got ahold of them, which is unlikely, they wouldn’t do anyone any good, because they would need access to your Cloudflare account as well to change the origin server.
But then, you aren’t so smart yourself. You’re just some random nobody on the internet that decided to start using their arsehole for speaking. And as is typical in such a situation, everything you say reeks of shit.
Now, do you want to continue embarrassing yourself? Because you’re not hurting my feelings by doing so.
You’re just not a pleasant person, are you? Every time you’ve replied to one of my posts, it’s to be a twatwaffle.
An ignorant twatwaffle, considering you obviously have no idea how Cloudflare certs work. Which ends up making me look like I’m smarter than I really am, so thanks!
Yeah, it’s a huge PITA to just, you know, click the button to generate a new cert and revoke the old one.
If you’re gonna use that logic, then there’s nothing you can do on the internet, because you still need your physical body to interact with the device.
