How is downvoting essential? It doesn’t do shit.

I wouldn’t. Ideas should be free, and there should be no barriers to them, or ownership considered. If you create a thing, everyone else should be able to use that thing however they wish, and with no limitations, to create their own things. Full stop, no exceptions.

This is why I pirate. I will never consider or acknowledge ownership or license when consuming media, art, or information. If you release an idea to the greater world, then it’s my idea, my art, my music, my software, just as much as it’s yours as the creator. And I’ll do with it whatever I will.

You use the term “AI slop” more than once, but honestly I feel like a lot of the “real” art that’s shared here is human slop. I guess the thing I would have that most people wouldn’t agree with is that most art by humans is shit, and we shouldn’t feel like we have to pretend it isn’t just so we don’t hurt someone’s feelings. You ever been on DeviantArt and looked at the newest submissions? Half of it looks like it was finger painted by toddlers.

There’s a lot of artists walking around thinking that AI is gonna steal their hard work, when nobody with eyes would want their work hanging on their wall, because it’s human slop done by someone with no talent.

If that’s the litmus test, then there are certainly animals that aren’t sentient and don’t meet those requirements. Is it OK to eat animals that do not have brains?

Well, cloud seeding is a real thing, but it’s not a thing the US does, as far as I know.

How do you know what to say, when anything you say could get you punished by conservatives who want to censor information that they don’t agree with?

I’ve seen a lot of FOSS purists before, but this guy has gotta be the Linux equivalent of one of those dudes who lives in the forest with a tin hat so the guberment can’t read his thoughts.

if you think everyone around you is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

Most people I run across aren’t assholes, you’re just an exception.

be clear when you say shit and people won’t misunderstand you and treat you like a fucking moron.

Obviously, when name Cloudflare specifically more than once, it can be so hard to tell which platform I mean. It’s an easy mistake to make if you don’t know how to read.

not knowing how a platform specific product works doesn’t dictate intelligence.

No, but using hostility as a way to distract from when you’ve gone and made yourself look like an idiot is certainly a defense commonly used by, as you put it, “fucking morons”. Now, is there any other pearls of wisdom you want to offer us, Mr. Trump, or was your eternally youthful ardor spent on that one emission?

It added that the privacy tool “particularly penalized smaller publishers,” as they depend to a large extent on the collection of third-party data to fund their businesses.

If your business depends on collecting the private data of users to sell to other companies, then you don’t deserve to exist as a business. I don’t care if these are the “little guys”, the entire ad business is a parasitical industry.

Well, if you were so smart yourself, you would know the Cloudflare certs aren’t for public use. The certs your site uses to communicate with the user are shared among multiple Cloudflare users, and aren’t accessible to anyone but Cloudflare. You can’t generate, revoke, view, or download them. The decade long certs you generate are for communication between your origin server and Cloudflare, they aren’t exposed to the public internet. If you use an Argo tunnel, which many selfhosters do, they’re used for the secure VPN tunnel between yourself and Cloudflare. Since all your traffic comes from Cloudflare, a smart user would whitelist those IPs and ignore web traffic from everything else if they weren’t going to use a tunnel. Even if someone got ahold of them, which is unlikely, they wouldn’t do anyone any good, because they would need access to your Cloudflare account as well to change the origin server.

But then, you aren’t so smart yourself. You’re just some random nobody on the internet that decided to start using their arsehole for speaking. And as is typical in such a situation, everything you say reeks of shit.

Now, do you want to continue embarrassing yourself? Because you’re not hurting my feelings by doing so.

You’re just not a pleasant person, are you? Every time you’ve replied to one of my posts, it’s to be a twatwaffle.

An ignorant twatwaffle, considering you obviously have no idea how Cloudflare certs work. Which ends up making me look like I’m smarter than I really am, so thanks!

Yeah, it’s a huge PITA to just, you know, click the button to generate a new cert and revoke the old one.

You don’t need to put the server in the DMZ, just port forward port 80 and 443. Most routers these days ignore all requests to ports that aren’t open. And stick it behind Cloudflare, so you don’t have to expose your IP. Cloudflare also allows you to generate SSL certs that are good for a decade.

Google is the only sure way right now.

You heard it right here on Privacy Guides, ladies and gents!

I’m an anarchist. You know, the kind of person who actually fights for civil rights, while your lot sits at home sipping wine and wondering why the poors are getting so uppity.

You better hope not. Cause if that’s true, then judging from the downvotes you’re getting, people would like something an AI said more than an allegedly intelligent human. But, you swing for the fruit you’re intellectually capable of reaching, I suppose.

Isn’t it brunch time somewhere in the world? Why don’t you go do some sort of performative milquetoast protest and leave the discussion to the adults?

That’s a straw man. I didn’t say the party wasn’t full of fascists, I said not all of them are nazis. Just stop already, you’re embarrassing yourself if you have to invent things I said because you don’t have a good response to what I did say.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard all week, congratulations. You’re insinuating that all Republicans are nazis, for one. It leads me to wonder if you were dropped on you head a little too much as a child. I could go on and point out further problems with your post, but if you’re calling everyone who disagrees with you a nazi, I honestly doubt you’re the sort of person to be willing or able to think critically about what you read, so why bother.
