Good morning #emfcamp I hope you all had a good night in Null Sector last night. I've been taking pics around the site so returning here to make sure I post and share the things! You in these pics? Want the file? Just let me know! @emfcamp.bsky.social

Does it actually reduce those things or is this because covid increased them?

If you install malware it will continue when you turn the internet back. Also it can delete or encrypt your data without the internet at all. So turning it off is no defence. You should only install from trusted sources. It's not paranoia, it's basic security practice and industry standard advice.

Except trash panda is the nickname for a raccoon, not an actual panda

which is worse, sending an individual doc to random servers or giving a random app access to all your documents. At the end of the day you have to trust the converter however it is implemented.

Chuckle amongst yourselves but it doesn't change the fact that copyright is there to encourage creation and prevent direct copies,, not for you to abuse by trying to shut down anything vaguely similar to give yourself a monopoly.

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Except you arn't the artist of that work, you are the person resenting the artist and trying to take away their ownership

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

If you paid attention the original artist isn't letting anyone buy it

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Right but the law does not give you ownership over anything vaguely similar to what you made

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Making a lion mask does not entitle you to stop anyone else from making a lion mask though. Its only similar, its not her work. You don't get to declare yourself the artistic owner of a wild creature or masks which are already heavily inspired from samurai mengu

No one stole anything, they made their own version.

throwing insults doesn't change the facts

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Personally I would have more sympathy for the artist if they were offering it and not merely trying to block anyone from having it.

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

So you might like to think it is well protected and they can dictate exactly how it can be used or influence new creations, but that simply isn't what the law says.

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

In the case of 3D work, design files would be copyright protected but there are none. The actual object itself is only protected in its exact form, not the style or utility. Theres no unique character like with mickey mouse, its not substantially distinct from other lion masks. There is no trademark

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Firstly no IP infringement is theft cos that is the act of taking something away from someone. Secondly IP law is not there to give anyone absolute control over information, merely a period of time to make something off ideas to encourage creation. Thirdly 3D objects are not protected like a book.

000

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

3D objects are not protected by copyright in that way. Design rights last for only a few years, no protection in the US if unregistered. The reason you should talk to them is because they are free to copy but may be courteous if you ask them.

200

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

So you can't see the frustration of you blocking them offering something which you are not even doing yourself? Also this means that there are no files to copyright and design rights have expired since you made it. So it is free to copy now technically. Personally I would negotiate a % with them.

Where can we buy this 3D file from you instead of them?

tbf it is probably not as unwatchable as Tin Soldier. We have some real dross to choose from right now

Same but if you google their hits I recognise maybe 80%, they've been the background to movies and tv all along.

You can understand age verification and trouncing anonymity for something like porno sites but it is a huge overreach for @bsky.app to claim that it is required even to use basic messaging features like DMs. This isn't about protecting kids at all but a huge landgrab on everyday privacy

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

It is a pitfall to see it that way. It may be 'a trick' but if AI can't provide the goal repeatedly and in bulk, it doesn't actually matter if it was a trick or not.

But make it a branching video where one option shows it and the 2nd option shows the same video with tiny insignificant differences

The interview is a 2-way process. If you respond suggesting some more reasonable terms and they don't cooperate they have successfully ruled themselves out and saved you time.

Ben Norris @norro21.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Not sure that it is physically possible that someone can be too cowardly to tell you something when they are telling you it directly. But anyone who tries to use liberal as a derogatory term has got to be pretty thick.

twitter has descended into complete trash now, but neither mastodon nor bluesky have gained critical mass of what it used to be :(

its not a hallucination when you put it in the prompt

Because it is a con. They implement the thing first, then they artificially drum up a problem that it solves, then they announce and release it. And of course it takes effect quickly because the problem wasn't really that bad in the first place.

90% of the time they are misunderstanding how it applies to other situations
