I had hoped that the AI training data issues would lead to an abolition of the bullshit system of copyright, but I fear it will only entrench the status quo of copyright protecting big corporations, but not burdening them, and burdening independent artists and individual consumers, but not protecting them. I yearn for a world where access to art, code and other creative output is free and unrestricted and people can freely build upon other people's work, and creators aren't dependent on paywalling their work to survive.

Yesterday I went to a hair removal studio which have both the equipment for laser and electrolysis, for a consultation, and the worker (not sure if owner or employee) recommended me electrolysis instead of laser, she claimed laser is not very reliable at permanency and might have hair come back even stronger after as little as six months. Is this true or is she just trying to upsell me for profit? I do have the budget for the electrolysis, I prioritize the treatment with the most permanent effect.

Good meowning. I just ate my first gingerbread of the season.

@catpunk@piperco.global @spycrab@kolektiva.social sounds painful why do you want to hurt yourself right now?

@astrid@woem.space AI doesn't kill people. Incompetent people abusing AI kill people.

@aisling@critters.gay yeah, rule 63 isn't misgendering

I recently made the realization that meltcat slime (meltcat body in melted state) might not be a distinct substance from meltcat milk or meltcat "cum" (their reproduction works different anyway) That means they just feed each other with basically their own liquified meat, technically an exotic form of cannibalism. (They probably need to have evolved strong natural defenses against prion disease.) Their reproduction works by mixing together multiple meltcats' slimes. Can be two meltcats but also three, four or more. The mixing can happen in a separate container but probably works better inside the enclosure of a meltcat body, similar to a womb. The pregnant meltcat can choose whether and how much to contribute their own slime to the mix.

For like the past eight years, "suicidal" has been my baseline. If you were to offer me a lethal poison pill, I would always be "hell yeah thank you" and the only difference between days would be whether I'd instantly swallow it, or save it for until I have done a little celebration of it being the last day of having to endure this life in a body of the wrong gender and species on a world full of evil, greedy and hateful people who are in power over me and everyone else.

@tay@transfem.social I take the mushrooms, they seem the most promising for a quick death

Tomorrow there's a national soccer game about 1.5 kilometers from my home. Germany is playing against Greece in the Nations League. I only know because I walked past the bus stop on my way to the pharmacy and bakery, and the electronic departure board showed a marquee about how to get to that game on public transport: with the special service tram line 8, however that number is barely used towards passengers and it's usually called the "arena line" or indicated with a ⚽ symbol on passenger facing information.

Regarding the whole bullshit concept of felony disenfranchisement:

Here in Germany, almost* all prisoners are allowed to vote if they meet the general eligibility criteria (adult, German citizen). They will then vote by mail. And nobody even considers to restrict their voting rights after they completed their sentence.

• = there's a very small number of crimes that can temporarily remove voting rights, that's election manipulation, treason and taking bribes. Not even for those crimes it's automatic, as far as I know.

@gwenthefops@booping.synth.download what the FUCK how can ANY country look at the US right now and be like "yeah I want what they're having"
