Handprints of the 5 animals included in the previous 3 panels, along with text that reads “RESIST COMMODIFICATION. DEFY CORPORATOCRACY. DEFY OLIGARCHY. DEFY THEIR ANTI-HUMAN, ANTI-LIFE AUTHORITARIAN MOVEMENT. MAKE ART.”

Make Art (4/4)

A raccoon draws with its paws on a piece of paper. It says “GENERATIVE A.I. IS PART OF AN AUTHORITARIAN CORPORATOCRATIC EFFORT TO CO-OPT AND COMMODIFY THE CREATIVE PROCESS TO RID THE END RESULT - ART- OF THAT WHICH THREATENS ITS EXISTENCE - HUMANITY -

Make Art (3/4)

A dog sits on the ground sculpting a self-portrait, a cat holds a box of art supplies. The cat says “THAT IS A PURPOSE IN DIRECT DIAMETRIC OPPOSITION TO THAT OF CORPORATOCRATIC SYSTEMS:”, the dog adds “OBJECTIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL FOR PROFIT AND CONTROL.”

Make Art (2/4)

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Demanding face verification or ID is a wild thing from a firm that leaked 70 000 IDs only four months ago.

Anyway thanks for the final push to leave your service behind. There was a time before discord, and there will be a time after.

History's Best Antifascist Portraits YouTube video by Shawn Grenier | The Canvas

Let me try this Bluesky thing! Here's a video I made on antifascist self-portraits!!

Dare Obasanjo got reason wrong. Adobe is crashing because of sheer greed and partly the fact that creatives don't need Adobe Firefly AI that started terrorizing me too, on my last month of Adobe subscription. You can draw a venn diagram of usual Adobe users and usual AI users and it's 2 circles.

(it is in hindsight pretty cool people would record random ass programs and broadcast parts from their TV sets back then, makes for a near archive for little things like this)

Also if you do look for original VHS tapes of it, make sure it's actually as it was seen on TV and not a weird reconstruction made out of bits and clips (quality should remain uniform, consistent... and mushy, in true VHS fashion, and it should have all the right watermarks and clips)

The one broadcast on 8/1/81 was the one you find as a VEVO release on youtube (the weird studio/lab themed one). The original -81 opening broadcast has been VHS taped, complete with all the artifacting and MTV logos and all

Brushpen doodling sad binturongs on a train on Christmas eve early in the morning

It's either AI or a very weird person answering you, and I can't even tell anymore and that's pretty sad for the general state of things

Uh oh, sounds like AI hallucinations (idk why the fuck any organisation would do this ngl but in this times like this, this is my suspicion)

I do suspect the same. I wonder how intel-compatible Linux is these days, I'm getting tired of this

Certainly does.

Thanks to Microsoft's AI slop spaghetti code it started duplicating instances of itself on my desktop uncontrollably for about 200 times so I nuked it through powershell and downloaded trusty old IrfanView because one dude from the Balkans does more reliable software than all of MS

So... cold pizzas, outrageous prices and terrible service?

Doesn't look like that for me, either on android nor windows but... yeah, it does look rather liquid ass

Looks normal to me... can you elaborate what "liquid ass" means here?

My business depends on confidentiality between me and my customers to be successful.
This legislation is forcing me to close my business for good.
If you want me around, please spread this out.
Sharing culture is my passion. This is going to block the import and export of culture in all of Europe.

imagine a law being so hated you have to "smuggle" it in because it would not pass a democratic process

Illegal by multiple consitutions
Declared illegal by the european court of justice
Implementations deemed far too complex or even impossible

BUT NUH UH
old people said we do it so we do it

It was also never about "benefit" for the common folk or the trojan horse excuse of "protecting kids", it was always about control and usually as a byproduct, censorship

Democracy is when you keep ramming your shit ass surveillance plan through without even asking anymore, or something

man this is fuckin' tiring

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control
