I meant it more in a "hire an artist to work on art for you VS just ask the AI to do it instead" way
even if you’re emulating an art style in particular, that’s not copyright infringement because you can’t copyright an art style. which is good because if you could, that would be awful for a ton of artists
it’s only copyright infringement if you ask an AI to do, say, a picture of mario. but in this case, it’s also copyright infringement if you commission an artist to do it!
i get what you mean, but at the same time, i feel like there's not much you can do with AI that you can't do without it (at least, in terms of art), it just takes more time and you'd most likely need to pay someone to do it. so in this case AI would take work opportunities away from people, that's bad, but that's not copyright infringement nor theft.
and i'm worried that by propagating the idea that training an AI model is theft, that it could lead to even more regulation on copyright that would just end up hurting smaller artists in the end. like, most people agree that making AI art in the style of Studio Ghibli movies is scummy, but would an indie artist making art in that style be wrong too? you may think not, but if it becomes a crime to emulate an art style using AI, it takes very little extrapolation to make it a crime to emulate an art style without AI. and do i need to say why being able to copyright an art style would be awful?
you can see a blog with it's custom theme by going to [blog name].tumblr.com instead of tumblr.com/[blog name], and by doing this you also get less restrictions (for example, there's no cookie banner or sign-in wall if you scroll too much)
ofc not all blogs have a retro theme like this, in fact many blogs don't have custom themes at all
J’aimerais vous interrompre pour un moment. Ce que vous appelez Linux est, en réalité, GNU/Linux ou, comme je me suis mis·e à l’appeler récemment, GNU plus Linux. Linux n’est pas un système d’exploitation en soi, mais plutôt un autre composant libre d’un système GNU pleinement fonctionnel rendu utile par les librairies GNU, les utilitaires du shell et les composantes systèmes vitales, formant un système d’exploitation complet tel que défini par POSIX.
Plusieurs ordinateurs utilisent chaque jour une version modifiée du système GNU, sans s’en rendre compte. A travers une tournure particulière des événements, la version de GNU qui est largement utilisée aujourd’hui est souvent appelée Linux, et plusieurs de ses utilisateur·ices ne sont pas au courant qu’il s’agit pratiquement du système GNU, développé par le projet GNU.
Linux existe vraiment, et ces gens s’en servent, mais c’est juste une partie du système qu’iels utilisent. Linux est le noyau; le programme dans le système qui alloue les ressources de la machine aux autres programmes que vous exécutez. Le noyau est essentiel au système d’exploitation, mais inutile par lui-même; il ne peut fonctionner que dans le contexte d’un système d’exploitation complet. Linux est normalement utilisé en combinaison avec le système d’exploitation GNU: le système au complet est pratiquement GNU avec Linux ajouté, ou GNU/Linux. Et toutes les soi-disant distributions Linux sont en réalité des distributions de GNU/Linux!
i don’t think there’s anything like that on linux sadly
personally i just use the VLC mobile app (yes, this exists!) to play my local music collection. it’s surprisingly good, and you can even send music to it from your computer to your phone wirelessly!
yea okay. the genocidal tech company that buys every studio it can to create a monopoly on gaming is a more ethical alternative to nintendo. okay.
i think a section with indie games similar to nintendo’s games would’ve been cool, yknow stuff like bug fables, tunic or mindwave, instead of "If you don’t like Nintendo you can buy an Xbox! 😃"
one that doesn’t take away the rights of her people
if you want so bad to live in a "civilized" country where Indigenous people don’t bother you with their existence, go back to england you fucking colonizer
you missed the Hopes Others Will Do The Same part.
they’re pulling their game as part of the larger BDS boycott. the point is to put pressure on complicit companies (in this case microsoft) for them to stop working with israel
the IDF won’t care, but if enough devs pull their games, and if enough people stop using xbox products & services, microsoft will care.
the thing with microsoft is that they went on a buying spree not too long ago so they own a bunch of studios now
bethesda? activision? blizzard? mojang? double fine? those are all microsoft now.
if you want to boycott microsoft gaming, as is asked by the BDS movement, you must boycott all that they own and publish. that’s not just halo and forza, it’s also the recent oblivion remaster, psychonauts 2, minecraft, the ori games, doom…
