- Comment on The original Technoviking video 1 day ago:
Here is an article about it.
After three years of wrangling, a decision was reached in court: Fritsch was forced to agree to only use the video if he manipulates the images in such a way that he can’t be identified. Despite this, there’s a sense that the horse has very much bolted. Fritsch might have been gagged, but there are hundreds of other artists who have made derivative works that will remain online. “It’s too late. That’s the whole absurdity of the trial.”
In addition to censoring the video, Fritsch must pay the plaintiff €8,000 – the vast majority of the money he made from the video. That’s on top of the €7,000 in legal bills. He says that the trial will bankrupt him.

Wikipedia does, or at least as is publicly available.

Don’t ask Lemmy, man. This is a time to see a doctor.
- Comment on WTH is going on with the price of a quart of Hydrogen Peroxide? 3 months ago:
Hydrogen peroxide is not the same as bottled water. Water is H~2~O. Hydrogen Peroxide is H~2~O~2~. Don’t drink it.
- Comment on What do people who promoted the "FEMA camps" conspiracy theory think about Trump's mass deportation? 5 months ago:
They don’t hate the idea of concentration camps. In fact, they like them if they’re for the people they’ve been trained to hate.
- Comment on "Florida is a conservative Christian state" 5 months ago:
I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that people who cannot be bothered to vote shouldn’t really count.
- Comment on What is Trump going to do to social security since he is now going to be president? Just wondering because my mom gets SS and she does not want me to support here? 5 months ago:
Trump has refused to say what he’ll do because threatening Social Security during an election would cost him a lot of votes from seniors. On the other hand, now that he has won, Republicans have started freely admitting that Project 2025 is the plan for this administration. Project 2025 has this to say about Social Security.
Project 2025’s 900-page Mandate for Leadership fails to propose any solutions for Social Security and says, on page 710, that its proposals for the program could not be “covered here in depth.” Notably, that line was co-authored by economist Stephen Moore, who has advocated to slash and privatize Social Security, once calling it a “Ponzi scheme” and encouraging students to burn their Social Security cards. Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, has also gone on record to say the Mandate for Leadership manifesto is just the basis of their plan and “there are parts of the plan that we will not share with the left.” Last month, his organization called for raising the retirement age, and the author of that analysis, Rachel Greszler, is listed as a Project 2025 contributor.
I would hazard to guess that the incoming administration will, at the very least, try to raise the Full Retirement Age to 69. I will be pleasantly shocked if they don’t try to privatize it as well.
- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 5 months ago:
You better watch your mouth or he’ll send Seal Team 6 to delete your ass. It’ll be an official act so it won’t be illegal for him to do so.
- Comment on Really? 1 year ago:
Not very quickly. How many of them are multimillionaires? Go ahead, guess. Here’s a hint.
More than half of those in Congress are millionaires, data from lawmakers’ most recent personal financial disclosures shows. The median net worth of members of Congress who filed disclosures last year is just over $1 million.
They won’t care if they miss a year’s worth of paychecks if they can hurt poor people by doing so.
