That artist is The Reddot. I believe occasionally she and Pizzacake do cosplays together?

Penny Arcade was one of his contemporaries in the early webcomic space. It may simply be nostalgic to him.

Personally I find Penny Arcade distasteful but it’s hard to ignore how much that IP helped grow the webcomics industry.

Copyright is a fictional protection designed to enrich corporations. It does very little for actual creators. If this is what it takes to destroy copyright, so be it.

That’s the biggest problem in my opinion. They are scary good at generating text. But there’s effectively no filter, it’s just an endless stream of vaguely plausible text, true or false. And unfortunately, humans are prone to think “wow that’s a lot of text, they must’ve done their research and put in tons of effort!” because historically that was for the most part true.

For example: all those guys who say “AI made me 10x more productive” are almost certainly measuring it by lines of code. As we all know, more code is almost inevitably an unmaintainable buggy mess.

It’s worse even than that. The server software (released by Anthropic) that lets an AI connect to a web service has a critical arbitrary remote code execution bug. So if you even let an AI connect to you, you’ve now allowed anyone to access your whole server.

There is no excuse for this other than wild incompetence.

I won’t stop them, I will just socially shame them with an intent to stop them.

You have all the tact of a conversion therapy camp. I have nothing more to say to a closed-minded person like you.

No. Gatekeeping was the polite way to say that you have no fucking right to stop someone from doing what they enjoy, as long as they aren’t harming someone else. I personally don’t read YA novels, but I will protect that right for everyone else.

The correct term, rather than gatekeeper, would be fascist. You can fuck right off if you’re going to try controlling what media a person consumes. If you truly think what you’re saying, you are a morally bankrupt human.

Ew, that’s not true either. Lemmy is NOT the place for gatekeeping assholes. Take that bullshit to X.

Adults are allowed to read things written for children. Shaming people for that is ageist as fuck.

There are LOTS of good reasons to stop engaging with HP, but this ain’t one of them.

Really makes it want to migrate to Azure for your hosting, eh?

I don’t understand why people crop comics. It takes more effort and it makes you an asshole. Why would anyone do that?

He just hit 1000 comics about Swords, what an amazing achievement!

The funny thing is that even the US has reduced sanctions on Iran

Sadly it is a very human thing. Most people are entirely content to ignore anything outside their monkeysphere.

JUST DRR DRRR DRRRR IT

Yep! Sounds like it’s time for a rewatch!

I used to use Arch like them, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Ehhh, I’m gonna trust the guy who quoted actual sources and not the guy who literally pasted “AI Overview” into his comment lmao

I think you’re responding to the wrong dude. I’m not OP.

Not each individual police officer, police as an institution is more deadly than society’s baseline rate of mass shooters. Surely that was obvious from the context.
