It is a tricky issue but making copyright more strict also has dangers, since big media companies already weaponize copyright against small creators through DMCA takedowns, frivolous lawsuits, etc. making it stricter could make that worse and indies can't afford to enforce anyway.
Cory Doctorow makes a good argument that the best way to protect creativity is not to change copyright for humans, but make sure that machine-generated images/music is not eligible for copyright at all, so that only human-made work can be monetized.
I can only hope that as the current corrupt behemoths self destruct, all these talented developers will condense into a crop of new, nimble indie studios.
Have you seen Don't Hug Me I'm Scared? The original YouTube shorts are amazing.
10 years before, during a driving test, her student crossed the center line and they crashed head-on into a truck. She was impaled and disemboweled by the passenger side training steering wheel. She now had a phobia of driving, and only taught in classroom. She refused to administer driving tests.
My driver's ed instructor reminded me, in both looks and personality, of Ma Fratelli from The Goonies. She was a grizzled veteran of driving education, and would have had a Purple Heart if they gave them for it. First day, she lifted up her shirt to show the mass of scars on her stomach.
Surely there's something someone could theoretically whip up with a big capacitor and a coil of wire that could invalidate these glasses' warrantee without endangering the wearer.
I thought Deep Think was overkill, but vanilla Gemini kept insisting that my 16-pin shift register had 20 pins so I didn't put that much trust in it. Any good resources for low-level tinkerers who want to use AI to learn more advanced electrical engineering techniques but don't know where to start?
This is rad, thanks for introducing me to this guy.
What are everyone's alternatives to Adobe products? I like the old Affinity suite but I'm suspicious now that they were gobbled up by Canva.
That's awesome. Any similar options that work with Android?
Reps and Dems were pretty bipartisan over the previous 20 years re: letting companies grow to monopolistic scale without interference. The Biden administration was the first to start reigning them in this century, and so tech kingpins switched sides and paid to sit on the inauguration stage.
It would be fun if they did a Superman/Lex Luthor crossover.
For years I've wanted a cozy courtyard, and have been sad that they basically don't exist in the US.
I use Namecheap and Hostgator. They both have super bare-bones hosting options where you can just upload your own html if you want. They also have more convenient 1-click app"based options that are more prominently advertised, but old school is available for pretty cheap.
Thanks! That place was crazy with contradictions. Lush nature growing up wild inside a massive concrete canyon.
Post a picture YOU took, no description.
If you like steampunk and clean energy tech, check out Solarpunk if you're not familiar!
A little bit of heavy industrial #reference for you with a bit of animation to go along with it. I push that you should add movement to your work to and that goes for environment stuff and this is big enough I feel it passes into that side of art.
Does "ship art" mean spaceships or is there an official source for non-canonical romance illustrations between every combination of major characters from the show? I've followed @brittajj26.bsky.social in either case.
We may not know their name, but we know something about them. I think it's clear that this is a self portrait!
He's never built anything in his life. He paid (or often decided not to pay) other people to build stuff.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!
When I saw this, I immediately knew how you had done it. Then I watched it loop a few times and was completely baffled again. I get front-to-back, but side-to-side ALSO?! Everything to arrange the second viewpoint would wreck the first viewpoint.
They built bridges like this because canal barges were pulled by pack animals on the towpath, and this design allowed them to cross the canal and keep going in the same direction without needing to disconnect the tow lines.
So now it's named after two rapists
A wildlife photographer stumbled upon one of the oldest and largest known collections of dinosaur footprints, dating back about 210 million years to the Triassic Period, high in an Italian national park near the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympic venue of Bormio.
Beautiful work! I hadn't heard of Fisk coffins before and it's the best Internet rabbit hole I've fallen down in months. I found a PBS documentary about one that was dug up in a construction site in NYC with a wonderfully preserved smallpox mummy inside: www.pbs.org/video/woman-...
