Oh absolutely not… yeah no, don’t comply with that by any means, and encourage everybody else not to, too. I’m all for good progress and love tech, but I love it in a "it should serve us way, not the other way around.

Ai generate an adult face, display it on a display, point camera at it, “selfie”, ???, profit

Scratch that. Draw a face. See if that works. I bet you could draw a face well enough to fool the detection software.

The age old solution of TAPE.

What was rejected by the proprietary, looking to steal and rape from even their very engineers, has now been given to the commonwealth. As it should.

With intellectual property, you snooze, you lose.

These corpos think they’re hot shit and capitalism is impervious.

I’m not a communist. But when capitalism acts up like it has been, it needs to be taken down a notch or ten to be told who really matters: all of us. When the machine or the government stops serving its people, we rebuild it, because that is the purpose of the machine and the government.

A friendly reminder to ourselves.

Ngl, it all reads as ffmpreg now. I had to look at it like four times before it didn’t look like ffmpreg

Tesla was like ‘we could use lidar, but instead we’ll use CAMERAS’

Oooo, I didn’t know that. That’s fancy

A lot of it ALREADY isn’t.

Better encodes aren’t necessarily better

2000 was a quarter of a century ago.

Hell yeah! You should check for a lot of those if they’re available still via the normal means. A lot of the old and good fansubs are just outright missing, probably because a lot of people did what you did and then life happened and the availability fell along with the demand for fansubs for new series.

For example, a lot of the big fansub names are gone, and their seeds moved on. I know the content, for a lot of fansubs still exists in forms like you have here, but it isn’t available on the internet and is at risk for bitrot and being lost media.

See if you can find ways to seed stuff for a while. I know at least I have a couple dozen stalled out 0 availability of them that I’m just waiting to magically appear online one day, that I myself will then try to seed. Maybe you’ll make somebody’s day, or year.

Edit: also, some fansubs that are lost end up being the only sources of the original version. It’s rare, but it does happen.

Aren’t ebooks like… Miniscule, file-size wise? Like smaller than mp3s?
