People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
#ra speaks#piracy#media piracy#pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud#obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement.#anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them#this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams#edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise.#your experiences are not universal#edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.)#in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

⚠️ Fandom is Moving Forward with Generative AI ⚠️
As of December 15, Fandom has announced their plans to continue using AI to "enhance" their articles.
In short, they claim to have primarily used AI to
Scan images for "appropriateness" (be that NSFW content or just fitting in with the theme of the show), which still involves scraping tons of images and comparing them to a potentially unethically sourced database. As with all machine learning using images, it is still wildly inaccurate.
Optimizing edits - something they admit is still severely lacking because it can't read tables or variants on simple things like "birthday"
Optimizing SEO - this is clearly what they care most about, since Google likes the "Quick Answers" - as shitty as they were - this means they can continue to dominate the search results and gain more ad revenue.
This is a good time to remember that Fandom is a for-profit company with inverstors, which means their end goal is always to make the most money possible. They don't care about "The Fans" (despite the lip service), and they don't care about the authenticity of user-generated content if they can figure out how to automate the process.
STOP USING FANDOM.
Alternatives/Workarounds:
Indie Wiki Buddy is an extension that will redirect you to non-Fandom versions of wikis if it's in their database.
BreezeWiki displays all Fandom wikis in a clean, ad-free format with just the article content (no links to their forums, autoplay videos, etc)
If you must use Fandom, install UBlock Origin. It's available on all desktop browsers and Firefox Mobile. Hit them where it hurts. And encourage the wiki teams to leave Fandom if they can.
Also, be sure to support independent wikis! You can disable adblockers while on their sites, as they usually have much less obtrusive ads which directly fund server maintenance rather than CEO salaries. Change links on your posts/pages to direct to non-Fandom Wikis (even wiki.gg is better).
Keep information free from corporatization.

It's "Clean Air Day" in the city today. All across the city traffic billboards encourage us to walk, transit, carpool, or bike. Anything else but drive to work. The absolute tone deafedness of this message in a city that was intentionally built for people to drive to their destination is a huge part of the problem for a lack of meaningful change.
The single greatest thing anybody, really any company could do for "Clean Air Day" is allow those who can work from home to do so.
It was proven during covid that keeping the people who don't need to drive off the road every day will clear the air up gloriously. The air was crystal fucking clear when the majority of us weren't driving.
And btw, nobody has time to carpool when they live miles away and traffic is always 45-minutes and more deep. I'm not waking up early and coming home later for this piece of shit job. Pay me to tack that extra transit time on. Same for the bus!
The bus on its own is antiquated af. It's extremely slow because you have to wait for 50 stops to get to yours. It's uncomfortable as sin because the seats are made out of pure hatred. It's not convenient because you have to switch to 70 different buses to get to where you need to go. And it ends up costing taxpayers because it destroys the pavement on the streets. Fuck the bus. Carpooling and taking the bus are stupid for a majority of people in a city that was built around cars.
Other transit like walking and biking and taking the train are only available to the people who have the overly inflated multi-millions it cost to buy a piece of property within those vicinities. Property rates and rents by the train or in city centers are only for the rich.
So basically the call to use other transit during "Clean Air Day" in a city that was only ever built for cars is classist, and therefore also racist to its core. The only people who have the ability to effectively use clean transit are the rich and they're coincidentally also the assholes who own the office buildings that the majority of us don't really need to go to during "Clean Air Day" or any other fucking day of the week.
#clean air day#clean air day is greenwashing#greenwashing#public transit is in wealthy neighborhoods#no one has any extra time to get to jobs they hate#public transit doesn't work with groceries#be realistic#you developed a city around cars#maybe work on bringing people's needs to them instead of leaving them spread out#companies posturing on clean air day need to sell their unnecessary real estate#original content#scams#work from home#fuck the corporations#torch the c-suit#torch the c suit

NYT article abt goncharov has comments like 'what is the purpose of this film's existence these kids are just lying' motherfucker how do you think our ancestors survived. how do you think folklore formed. culture. music. art. PURPOSE????? do you think everything must be commodified? sold? weighed to be valued? has the rot in your soul spread so far you cannot find value in anything not spoken in numbers??? it's FUN. THAT'S WHY. THE PURPOSE IS THE ACT, THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM, THE SYMBOL IS THE STORY. it brings people joy for its mere existence and that IS the point. existence is its purpose alone
#goncharov#not unreality an actual reaction to an actual comment on an article bc corporate journalism has decided to breach gonchcontainment#god i fucking hate people being like blah blah blah but what's the point of this thing SHUT THE FUCK UP#GO PICK UP A HOBBY YOU DROPPED BC YOU THOUGHT IT WAS TOO CRINGY FIND JOY IN IT OR SMTH AND MAYBE YOU'LL CALM DOWN#JUST BC YOUR CAPACITY FOR HAPPINESS DIED DOESN'T MEAN OURS DID#anyway back to regular gonchposting#shut up levi

People literally calling the Public Domain a graveyard have no clue what they're talking about. Without the Public Domain, most of your beloved childhood Disney movies literally would not have been made, because they are literally based on stories that were in the Public Domain.
Please unlearn capitalistic propaganda before you go saying things like "the public domain is the graveyard of ideas". Literally the only people that benefits are giant corporations like Disney who don't want you using the Public Domain like they have been this whole damn time.

for anyone who doesn't have the Return YouTube Dislike Plugin, here's how Watcher Entertainment's "Goodbye Youtube" video is doing right now
yeah... gonna throw out a yikes on that one
i suspect this number will only keep growing in the coming days/weeks, especially the longer and longer we go without any sort of response.
EDIT: its only been three hours and the number has already jumped to 206K dislikes.
#the fucking balls to link to their merch store on the announcement video too#as a long time fan i'm very disappointed#i get that creatives want to and SHOULD be paid fairly for their work.#hell my dad got laid off by MF DISNEY for wanting to be paid a fair wage for the work he was doing#but we're not talking about the billion dollar mega-corporation Disney here#we're talking about a company that by *all respects* should be able to sustain itself off of Youtube Ads & Patreon & Merch & Live Shows-#WITHOUT blowing 100K on flying 6 people out to haunted houses or paying 20 people to make and produce ONE lets play video#in short: Watcher... get your shit together.#watcher entertainment#we are watcher#watcher#shane medej#ryan bergara#steven lim

Full offense to the people saying no one is trying to find a job, but I have 5 years college experience, 3 years clinical experience and 1 year fund raising AND I STILL CANT GET A CALL BACK. It's not the lack of potential employees, it's the refusal of employers to hire people who they know will not work for minimum wage
