Considering copyright shouldn’t exist, then obviously not. These people did nothing but copy data that happened to be censored by “property laws” that are based on a flawed definition of what people can actually own.

Honestly, anything to fuck with Reddit is a W in my book.

I was saying that: A) ChatGPT is already fluent in good-enough pirate speak, and B) It would be possible to have ChatGPT convert modern English speech into said good-enough pirate speak using a userscript. Even if it didn’t affect their data collection or AI models trained on the text, it would still be distracting and annoying for users, which might push some people away from Reddit.

Well, me matey, ChatGPT be speakin’ like a seadog already. All ye must do is ask of it to be speakin’ this way, and it will. Arrgh. Ye could write a fancy userscript to interface wit ChatGPT and be speakin’ like a seadog without an ounce of effort!

The jolliest Roger.

I just realized that Steve looks a fair bit like Ed Speleers (at least as a Borg).

This worked. Thanks! Turns out my bootstrap style looked like shit, but at least I know where to put things!

Reddit is such a mess.

I directly linked you to my instance. You’d have to follow the instructions there to search for and get to my community, NCL Meta, to actually upvote from your main account. It becomes less of a hassle the more you do it.

I wonder if it’s some strategic bullshit to try and scare people. Fuck it, most of those people are the kind who would enjoy using Lemmy anyway.

https://NormalCity.life is one I’m talking about to you from as we speak, but honestly visting to see if anything strikes you as worth subscribing to from your existing account is great. We’re going to be expanding our community repertoire to feature more permutations of “tech and creativity,” and I’m currently writing a multi-post series on the Fundamentals of Lemmy.

If you find juggling multiple accounts to be a bit of a hassle, my recent chapter about subscriptions might be of interest. In short though: you can use one account to access all of Lemmy, but there’s a few specific steps you need to follow to subscribe to other communities on external servers.

I still think Reddit forcibly removing the head mod of r/Piracy is peak irony. They can’t not have people discussing copyright infringement, even through in years prior they were threatening to ban the community.

Oh, dope. I’ll give it a try.

Do you know if Mailgun is free for 5,000 emails per month, or is that offer for only the first month of service?

I probably obtain music in just about every conceivable way possible. Sometimes I’m listening on YouTube for city pop uploads, other times it’s SoundCloud for weird obscure indie tracks. Sometimes I’ll do some soul seeking to flesh out my local collection of FLACs for my iPod or Strawberry, or I’ll pop into Bandcamp to find hidden gems. I also buy a fair bit of used vinyl from Discogs, and I’ll occasionally hit up importCDs for the occasional budget-friendly Tatsuro Yamashita album. I even hunt around at local thrift stores to add to my cassette and CD collections, which have both grown to a fairly substantial size. Sometimes indie labels like Light in the Attic will get city pop reissues that aren’t all that expensive, and I’ve bought a passable quality cassette from them before. I’ve been working on getting a thrown-together component Hi-fi setup from a bunch of thrift store scores, and it actually sounds and works quite well. I have a massive stack of portable CD players, and a trusty cassette walkman that has really decent W+F for what it is. Aside from MD (so far), I guess you could say I’m interested in diversifying my music-listening portfolio.

Hey, what do you know? It worked. Hopefully it sticks. Thank you!

The thing you use when you’re lazy as all get out and can’t be bothered to use a VPN. Plus, you get faster download speeds over DDL anyway, so 🤷.

Drastically smaller chance of things getting taken down here to boot. You’d practically have to get the host of your server up in arms, which is a lot harder to do than a grumpy Reddit admin pressing the ban button.

Aside from Hot Milk and some of the more recent Twinklestar/SUPERGIRL stuff, Cappuccino is probably one of my favorite Snail’s House tracks.
