it's a tool. What people use it for is their business.

I feel like the easiest thing to do would be to declare that entirely ai generated images are public domain because a human didn't have enough of a hand in making them (and only humans and groups of humans can have a copyright), and there's not enough of any one image from the the training data in the output to say that the output contains a recognizable segment of any of the images that it was trained on, even assuming the training images were all copyrighted.

? I see cat in 3D

Any plans for an Android app?

There's an open standard version of pdf called PDF/A, which Libre Office can write and read.

When I was in school I read fiction novels for escapism.

I'd read any chance I got, especially at school.

Oftentimes (particularly reading while sitting in one place or lying in bed) I'd forget I was reading a book and I'd lose all concept of time

I'd just be mechanically turing the pages and stuff and I'd get lost in the book

if you just wanna start reading and don't have an agenda for what you need to read, I recommend reading novels or books you enjoy and/or can get lost in

It should be almost like watching movies or tv, but not just random stuff, I mean stuff you actually enjoy watching

of course there's always the problem of IPSs and big companies and others being assholes, and there's at least a category of laws that should be gotten rid of, and people and society need to be nicer in general, and everybody needs to stop treating digital things that are abundant as if they're scarce (get rid of artificial scarcity of digital things and embrace the opportunities that abundance brings)

Some websites even track exactly how you move your mouse and can have a pretty good guess of your age and they can track how many times you click something that doesn't do anything (apparently older people tend to zero in on buttons and click on things that aren't clickable more often. I heard this on older episodes of the Level1news on the Level1 Techs youtube channel, which I recommend listening to for tech news that might be up to a week out of date)

It's not just the data you obviously fill in yourself

and that's before considering cookies other than letting you auto login to a specific site you already logged in to before

Also, isn't Whatsapp owned by facebook now? Don't trust facebook or anything they own

Idk about web hosting and web servers, but a significant portion of the population at some point used torrenting software.

I feel like at the very least it should be possible to make tutorials for how to make and seed torrents (and why you might want to), and people can send or post torrent files or at least magnet links in places that already exist, like telegram (the app, not telegraphs from before phones were common) or email or sms text messages or forums or qr codes or anywhere that you can post at least a magnet link.

I feel like if people want bad enough to share and receive large files they can learn the basics of using torrent programs (and I've also seen more than one Android app (Libretorrent being one of them, and you can get it on the free/libre/open source Fdroid store if you want to))

Another thing to consider is that irc and matrix exist and I think they claim to be peer-to-peer, but I'd suggest taking a good look at whether that's true and what their limitations are, with irc seeming particularly limited when I tried it years ago (what do you mean it doesn't keep any history? I can't see what the convo was right before I showed up? That's dumb. Oh, and I can't see any messages somebody was trying to send me if I wasn't online and in that irc room at the time? That's super dumb. And where's the edit button? You mean I can't edit what I sent if I did a typo or sent a message before it was ready or something? And I can't even delete a sent message so I can redo it and replace the messed up message? What decade was this written in? Oh, like decades ago? Ok, maybe that makes some sense, but we have standards for our communication apps today) Oh, and it was very obviously made by people with a commandline-first mentality, and you either know what command to tell it or you don't, and if you don't and you don't understand any help text there may or may not be, you're at the mercy of whoever introduced you to irc, especially if you're not used to thinking the way hardcore/old programmers think (which makes help text less than helpful).

No, I think those aren't exactly what I'd be looking for

I'd like to see more movement away from client-server model to peer-to-peer model, with the easiest and most obvious example being file distribution via torrents for free-to-the-end-user files and downloadables, with the company or whoever seeding constantly but being helped by others who also seed the same files. It would reduce server loads and make file hosting easier and cheaper to the company/host, compared to the traditional server-client model.

That's not the only thing peer-to-peer could be good for, nor is it the only implementation possible, but I'm using torrenting as an example because it's a good peer-to-peer technology that works and has been working well for at least 10 years (whenever trackerless torrents and less reliance on trackers became standardized into the standard)

What are the theoretical and effective max wifi speeds?

Let me know when it's available for Linux and Android so I can access my Linux desktop from my Android phone

I wanna play Roblox on Debian Linux and distros based on Debian.

Why can't I?

it supposedly works on ChromeOS

Idk. Maybe make a 3.001 or something like that with a different forward? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is this the first edition? There is a third edition, so why not post it instead?

About the TeenPup magic scripts, maybe have a look at LegacyOS. The latest (and last/final version) is LegacyOS 2017

Those scripts are also on there, but those distros are made to be OLD
