Sure, because screw artists with unique talent and style, let’s just have AI crank out the same style crap every day…

I’m rapidly getting tired of this new AI art era, looks like the same shit every day anymore.

Where’s the human factor anymore? Where’s the talent, where’s the skill?

Not sure what all happened there, but…

FAT ≠ NTFS

Looks like water/humidity damage to me.

I don’t care if it’s brand spanking new, it could still be humidity damage from whatever warehouse it was stored in before you got it.

If I declare that 100% of everything I’ve ever typed online might be false, will AI delete my shit?

Did you know, 23% of social media users don’t know how to sharpen a pencil?

True story, I wrote it on the internet somewhere, so it must be true by now…

Yeah, probably not the best opinion to express on Reddit, or most other sites for that matter. Even if I might happen to agree with you, that’s always gonna strike a nerve with quite a few people out there.

You’ve never seen a DNS poisoning attack have ya? I’ve seen Google infect systems just because they looked up a particular football game, because some bad actor somehow poisoned the DNS cache.

So no, “legit” sites aren’t always safe either.

I do not have an answer for you, but if I may ask…

Why?

So, aside from numerous other angry words I could say…

How is this going to affect incoming phone calls? Will I be able to at least talk with my friend, without having to hear ads the whole time because I was watching a video?

Just a friendly reminder, https://grayjay.app/ is a thing, screw the YouTube app.

They’d have to find my archives first, absolutely none of them are on the frontend. I don’t use the archive in any normal manner, and the links are effectively randomized so there’s no chance of just guessing any of my links.

I’ve been doing it for years and they haven’t pulled anything down yet.

Edit: Yes that’s clearly an archived website and not a file to direct download, but that same if_ banner bypass trick works just the same for individual file downloads.

Wanna watch a trick?

You can follow that link, it’s perfectly safe, and rather funny no less. It links to the archive…

https://web.archive.org/web/20230919001454if_/https://charleston.craigslist.org/avo/d/mount-pleasant-stealth-fighter/7667184419.html

Note the if_ after the date/time code. That bypasses their banner. None of my links are anywhere on the frontend of the archive, you literally have to know every link to find my archives.

And most of my archives aren’t even of websites, most of them are direct file downloads of older operating systems and games and stuff. Not like I’m about to share any of those here though.

I’ve been doing that for years and they haven’t found or removed a single thing I’ve archived. If they ever do, well so be it, but none of it is on the frontend, and the links are so obscure that there’s basically zero chance of anyone just randomly guessing them.

Funny you’d say that. If you manipulate the link and add if_ or fw_ after the date code, you can most certainly download files directly from the wayback machine.

Look towards the bottom of the page, ‘Save Page Now’

Snapshot feature. Apparently you’re not familiar with it.

I don’t even have an account silly. Think I’m stupid enough to do that?

Never heard of the snapshot feature have ya?

I’ve got terabytes of things archived, still there.

Whether factual or not, that’s still the direction Canonical is heading.

Here mofo, go purchase Ubuntu Pro…

Canonical can suck my balls.

Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven’t paid for it?

Please kindly fuck off.
