Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

ā[Copyright i]s not for you who love to make art and prize it for its cultural impact and expressive power, but for folks who want to trade art for money.ā
Fatuous romantic bollocks.
the concept that copyright is about art or artistic value and not money, is about as attached to reality as the ai technorapture
this barely has to even be argued, in spirit or in practice. even the concept of āownershipā as ascribed to creators is basically just a right to sell the work or sublicense said āownershipā
@ebu
āthe concept that copyright is about art or artistic value and not moneyā
I didnāt say it was.
āReal artists do it for love, not moneyā is as stupid as saying āReal artists shoot heroin and have untreated mental illness.ā
Real artists have bills to pay and families to feed.
you definitely did in fact say that the idea that ācopyright is about trading art for moneyā is bollocks. that is in fact a thing you said, straightforwardly
compare and contrast with āreal artists do it for love, not moneyā, which is a thing nobody in this entire thread said
and wouldnāt you know it, a complete devolution into full-tilt āāādebateāāā shadowboxing is my cue to turn off notifications. best of luck in the ring, i hear the spectre of communism has a nasty left hook
Thanks! Youāre getting better with your insults; thatās a big step up from your trite classics like āsweet summer childā. As long as youāre here and not reading, letās not read from my third link:
Maybe youāre a little busy with your Biblical work-or-starve mindset, but I encourage you to think about why we even have copyright if it must be flaunted in order to become a skilled artist. Itās worth knowing that musicians donāt expect to make a living from our craft; we expect to work a day job too.
well there you have it
bitter winter adult it is
