I was in the scene at the same time and me and my friends were always making fun of neofolk bands and their fans, because its such boring music and simply copying clothing styles of the 1940s, fitting to the boring mind of a nazi

This is completely unacceptable for the devs of software designed to bring people together.

Since you need an Digital ID to sign, given by your government, i can't think of many issues.

e: i just looked since it was a while since i signed - you need to give your Passport number to sign, or use eID.

ok, i didn't know that, but i never had a dog in my life. TIL, thanks!

yeah sure they are, i didn't want to put those 2 things on the same level! i just wanted to say that you can't cut them like you would with a dog's claw without hurting your cat, and if in doubt, at least let the vet show you how first.

aaah i misremembered, it was Ted Cruz, oops :-D

I would not recommend that unless you know what you are doing. Unlike other animals, the claws of cats have living tissue inside, which means a cut too far from the tip is like cutting off a fingertip and pretty painful, just be forewarned.

e: thats also the reason why declawing is brutal and inhumane - there are a lot of nerve endings there too

especially that ~~Abbot~~ Ted Cruz, who brought this one up, voted against it in the end, which is pretty confusing for an european tbh

e: i mean that it's memeworthy lol

would start with 6.28

876k now - at this speed it will be done tomorrow, or at latest in 2 days!

this, plus what's important to not to use too much detergent and not just use them on 40°C the whole time, because thats a really good temperature for an incubator. Give them a 95°C load once in a while, that kills off whatever is trying to smell in there.

I am only critical that those models are in the hand of corporations who try to profit from it. Copyrights are mainly a tool to be wielded by the powerful: see Sony trying to disconnect ISP accounts en masse or media giants suing people into oblivion, Nintendo fucking over their fanbase again and again and so on.

The datasets should belong to an UN organisation like UNESCO, corporations/NGOs/people should be able to licence them to build their models (ev. with "community models" provided free for personal use), and the licence fees should be used to subsidize culture. This plus an UBI would make sure that artists don't have to starve, corporations can use them to try to make a profit, and everyone else can use them to create for their own or their communities use. Artists that don't want to go into the datasets have that right too, but also won't have access to that financial pool (this shouldn't be the only pool).

Fuck copyrights.
