Torrenters : Communitarian / communist, sharing to strangers for the communal good.

Service-enjoyers : Individualist consumers, paying to rent data (not own it) from capitalist media companies, shares nothing to the community.

They're charging more now to rent than it costs to buy, it made sense if you didn't want to keep something, but now the consolidation and enshittification has kicked in and there is zero value to "streaming" period.

What about ppl like me who have a full ARR setup

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Good of course, as long as the torrents stay seeded (at least to a certain ratio). I haven't kept up with all these sonarr advances over the years.

I'm constantly trying to help people pirate. It's wild to me how hard it can be to get people to do it.

Why edit an AI girl into the picture instead of the original?

It doesn't even match the art style. It doesn't even match the art style

Maybe they were trying to make the character smile and AI (doing as AI typically does) decided they should make him into an anime girl.

To shitty AI art? Yeah, same, it completely lacks all humanity.

Like it would be really weird to use a picture representing a person looking at a screen and have them not even looking at the screen, for example.

You can't relate to what?

"NoO thEre muSt bE a mAn in the piCture"

Clear case of transphobia. When the dogma kicks in, the mask comes off.

[–] redparadise@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 days ago

I believe the point was "Why edit an AI girl into the picture instead of the original?It doesn't even match the art style." and not "it must be a man".

[–] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

You are literally just a tasteless AI freak with the comment history to prove it.

When the dogma kicks in, the mask comes off.

You are just doing the thing where you accuse someone else of what you yourself are doing. Trying to use trans issues to smuggle your hidden actual goal of cheerleading AI is fucking disgusting. You seriously need to go fuck yourself. You are an awful person.
