A user of Free / Libre Software exclusively ( apart from the BIOS on my computer, because I have no idea how to install libre-boot. Or if it's even supported ).

In this video I show the process of extending a game world and how tedious it might be. The video is featuring @RowdyJoe who's Mastodon account you need to follow to sign the current petition.

I shall complain a little bit on a stance from EFF and how I think they should be pushing harder. Not so long ago Australia decided to ban any platform where users can upload things, to anybody who is younger than 16 years. This is an ageist, paternalistic atrocity and has to be fought with viciousness. Yet EFF seem to only understand the ...

This was the first time I've ever cried from a film. And that experience made me addicted, both to Steven Spielberg and A.I. and also to watching films seriously. Taking in what the directors is trying to do. Letting the film overwhelm you. Letting it break you. And perhaps made me a better filmmaker myself.

@nprofile…48vs I 100% agree with the first part of the message. The fact that it takes effort to make images like these and AI de-legitimizes effort by simply generating it.
The second part about watermarks and control over your work after it is released just sounds to me like #CopyrightMentality which is something we have to stop to have digital freedoms.
