Consent is consent. It's not exclusive to sexual activities.

Extreme comparisons like this have been used since the dawn of time to draw attention to a smaller problems. Just because it's smaller problem, doesn't mean it's not a problem.

In fact, there's nothing in this comic that specifically compares scraping AI to sexual consent. Sure the "ugly" guy is pretty stereotypical of how we represent rapists, but that's just a common association we share, not reality (I have no doubt the artist is fully aware of this).

If we really want to get into this, we can talk about the AI scrapping being done across social media that is adding children to the data set. Do you think everyone ai generating images of children has good intentions? Think their parents give consent for that "use case" when they posted the pictures to Facebook years ago? It's disgusting and should not be dismissed because "its as bad as the real crime".

    Oops, I wasn't really doing the math as I went

    Originally I was adding up to your 10x + a adding in bunch extra for flock, but somepoint my brain switch that 10x to 10%. Oh well, the specific numbers dont really matter.

    I think greater responsibility should be placed on the department to encourage firing. If the burden is mostly on the officer, than the department bean counters won't care as long the officer can write more "valid" tickets to offset the bogus ones.

    Its also like if a waiter drops a tray of food on someone causing injury. Who is financially responsible to the injured person, the business or waiter? I think most of would agree that the business is. The business is fully within their rights to fire that waiter, but they can't withhold pay for the damages. If the business can prove the tray was intentionally thrown, then they can sue the waiter. But, the injured party should never have to talk to the waiter.

    Should the be the same for an officer, if they make a mistake it's on the department to make it right with the affected parties. If the department proves the officer maliciously broke protocol or law, then they can sue them separately. The victim of the officer's actions should be made "whole" by the department, then the department and officer can figure it out on their own.

    I love pineapple on pizza, but I only get it if getting slices for my self or with someone else that likes it.

    If ordering blind for a group, it's 1 cheese and 1 pepperoni. If I'm giving the group options it's pick between cheese, supreme, meat lovers and pepperoni (if any one can't eat meat, cheese is forced). If they can't decide, fuck it we're getting pineapple /s

    ArticleAnother Leak: ‘Avatar: Aang: The Last Airbender’ Surfaces Online Months Before Paramount+ Debut By Jamie Lang | 04/13/2026 1:17 pm |

    A major leak of footage from Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is making the rounds online, and it’s hard to see this as anything but damaging for everyone involved.

    Over the weekend, clips and now reportedly the full film surfaced online months ahead of its planned Paramount+ debut. The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery, was initially meant to get a theatrical run, but late last year it was pulled and redirected straight to Paramount+.

    The material shared over the weekend reportedly includes key story moments and unfinished animation, although some say the full film is now online, with reports suggesting the leak may have originated from an internal error or security breach tied to Nickelodeon. One Twitter user claimed they were accidentally sent the full film in an email from Nickelodeon. That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it raises questions about how the film could have gotten out.

    The leak is a major blow to an already unsettled studio. Since being purchased by Skydance, Paramount and its subsidiary Nickelodeon have been subject to massive layoffs; their long-time and well-respected head of animation, Ramsey Naito, left the company; and just last week, it was revealed that Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be folded more tightly into CBS Studios.

    It’s concerning yet entirely unsurprising how normalized this kind of thing has become. Another Avatar film, James Cameron’s in this case, leaked in 2023, alongside The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The difference in those cases is that the films being leaked were already released in theaters. This time, a film months away from release has now been spoiled by a few bad actors.

    High-profile leaks aren’t just spoilers, either. They disrupt the economic and creative ecosystem that keeps these kinds of projects getting made. When unfinished work circulates widely, it diminishes both the artistry and the labor behind it, and can cause serious issues for future titles.

    The upcoming avatar movie leaked, it sounds like the script, screenshots and possibly the entire movie is circulating.

    Also for some reason (before the leak) Paramount decided the movie wouldn't get a theatrical release. Who ever is making the decisions out there is not setting it up for success.

    Anyway, if you can watch the movie from an official source, please do so their numbers reflect as many people as possible.

    Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

    While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

    I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

    Android Tablets (lemmy.world)

    Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

    The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

    One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
