Actually, some chromebooks can become very cool linux laptops. That means you can get a system with coreboot on relatively recent hardware (instead of a thinkpad from like 2012).

This is the n-th cartoon of this bland style.

I think the difficulty curve of Johto in G/S is quite relaxed until you get to do the rest of the gyms. Maybe that’s why emerald feels like such a slog.

Wake up, Neo

Here’s the wikipedia definition

Plagiarism is the representation of another person’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one’s own original work.

So, I’m afraid that my definition is closer to consensus than yours.

If word gets out that you used a ghostwriter, you’re gonna get in trouble for plagiarism. That’s the thing they’ll accuse you of.

While consent is a part of why plagiarism is shitty, it’s not what makes something plagiarism. You can check it the other way around: if I’m legitimately quoting someone, do I need explicit consent, or is it implied (if it’s published work)?

About the BSD stuff: yeah, it might not be illegal and consential, but both of these things aren’t necessary for plagiarism.

What are you talking about? I’ve given you several examples of plagiarism outside of a legal concept, which means that there are non-legalistic definitions.

Here’s another one: copying someone’s homework is plagiarism. It’s not illegal, though.

I’d argue that most acts of plagiarism are actually legal, but can result in getting your title revoked. That’s not because of an IP law violation, since you don’t have ownership of an argument in an academic text.

Letting a ghostwriter write an academic paper is plagiarism, too, btw. How would that make sense in an IP law context, if the ghost writer not obtaining the IP is the whole point?

I think your legalistic view of the world is quite limiting.

It’s not illegal to rephrase what someone wrote in a book and pass it off as your own work. You can’t “own” a cultural analysis. It’s still plagiarism.

There’s more than a legal definition of plagiarism.

Plagiarism is when you sell the work of others as your own without attribution. There are bucketloads of examples of legal plagiarism.

I’m pretty sure that everything H. Bomberguy discussed in his plagiarism video was legal, for example.

Ok, then call it “plagiarising”.

If vanilla Wireguard is too complicated to set up for you: try tailscale.

If you don’t trust the central tailscale server: rent a vps and set up headscale on that.

RA3 brought us Soviet Russian Tim Curry. Nothing has to be redeemed, fight me.

Say whuuut? 👀

Has he shown change, though? Why would you just assume stuff like that?

No, propaganda is when Putin pays trolls to disagree with me online.

You can (or should) also only take it like once a quarter.

I don’t think a societal collapse will result in suffering, but rather a better society.

I think that you focussmore on community. “Societal collapse” will probably be more like societal restructuring.

Empires falling is mostly only bad for the ones controlling the empire. Yes, things might get harder, but humankind will prevail and continue to find joy. Probably more joy in a post-capitalist world than I will in a capitalist one. Maybe it’s not my child who will enjoy that society, but my grandchild. But I have something to give to the next generation.

You’ll have to become more focused on community as the empire falls. but family is one hell of a community.

I think they meant the feeling of bliss and love you can get when you’re on MDMA. Not the hyper sensitivity and all that.

Maybe you’ll get it if I put it like this: I heard the comparison once that children can instantly create experiences that feel like rolling on MDMA.

Joke’s on you! My kid came after I realized that capitalism is fucked and we’re probably gonna witness societal collapse within our lifetime. I wasn’t going places. I wasn’t going anywhere.

Now at least I’ve got something to look forward to.
