Oh, hah. For some reason I assumed that the point of the comic was that the aliens heard “run for your life” and took that literally, thus moving to a pedestrian healthy city or something.

The terms of service explicitly say that art remains copyright of the artist. Where are you reading that suggests that they’ve granted themselves extra rights?

I guess you could interpret “are the property of Cara and/or the individual artist” to mean “are the property of either Cara and/or the individual artist at Cara’s discretion”, but that’s such a stretch that I can’t see a judge accepting it.

I’m not American and so am not in touch with American politics, but I have an American friend who doesn’t seem to be bothered by it. I assume he knows better than me, so I’m trying not to worry about it.

But if I were to worry about it, I can see the whole Trump situation leading to another civil war for you guys…

Tos: https://blog.cara.app/terms

The closest thing I can find is the following:

The Cara Site and all works of art (“Art”) and/or other user generated content (including without limitation commentary, images, third-party links, and similar content and/or works) (collectively the “Art And Other User Generated Content”), text, data, and other materials contained in the Cara Site are copyrighted unless otherwise noted and are the property of Cara and/or the individual artist who created any individual piece of Art And Other User Generated Content (the “Artist”). No such materials may be copied, reproduced, republished, modified or used in any way except as provided in these Terms and Conditions.

Which doesn’t actually grant any copyright; it just explicitly states that the artist remains the copyright holder.

There seems to be a weird hateboner on Instagram for Cara, for unsurprising reasons.

This has got me overthinking whether protogens would use phones or not…

DeviantArt has been declining over the past few years due to controversial design changes and, more recently, a push for genAI garbage.

A lot of artists I’ve seen have recently been going to https://cara.app/ , although it’s relatively new and it’s unclear if it will last.

If you want something ActivityPub, you can also consider finding/hosting a PixelFed instance.

Their dms, most likely.

No. We have a strict vetting process.

I used to think this way, then it was pointed out to me that, without timezones, we’d be in a situation where Saturday starts mid-workday in some places.

But… Uncle Sam said drugs weren’t cool!

On a more serious note, my views are if it doesn’t hurt anyone else and you fully understand the implications and consequences, you should be allowed to take whatever you like.

I’m terms of mental illness, I’m leaning towards drug addiction being a result of it rather than a cause. If someone is facing depression and doesn’t have the support they need, they may turn to drugs as their only option.

If you’re serious about getting help from the community, open source the game and/or provide concrete questions on what code you want to improve.

Basically, “furries” are animal people like in Disney’s Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There’s some sfw art at [email protected] if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P

Personally, I’ve seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I’ve felt lacking in my life.

… Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it’s who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.

This isn’t the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.

… I’m really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren’t I?

“Protests” like this are the “it was just a prank bro” of activism.

I have three things I want to see in a fictional world (either mine or someone else’s):

• Furries, but not in a weird “metaphor for racism” way.
• A nice sophisticated magic system.
• Either a mideaval fantasy or spacefaring sci-fi setting.

The current idea rattling in my head is for a game which will likely never get finished. A spaceship with a small crew gets blown off close while travelling at warp speed or whatever. The heroes need to visit a bunch of planets (and learn secrets within) to find… Elemental crystals or something, I guess, to make their way home. Not sure how I can incorporate magic into it though, or if that would just be scope creep.

All previously played moves get played again.

All lgbt flags are terrible because they don’t follow the rules of tincture. /s

But seriously though, I think the trans flag is good. It has a nice amount of contrast and the colours compliment each other well. Other flags seem to have the problem of not enough contrast (like the bi flag) are too noisy (the main rainbow one) or the colours don’t mesh well together (polyamorous). All my personal subjective opinion though!

Although it could just be because I’ve seen the trans flag a lot more than the others (which is fair; trans rights are super important right now).

Doomscrolling.

Very badly.

I have never wanted to play a game so hard in my life. It seems to have the atmosphere of Inscryption, the gameplay of Papers Please and a lot of buttons and knobs to mess around with.

What advantages does the blockchain give compared to just having a government website that allows you to download a zip archive of these documents?

(Also, having public records of house ownership and tax is a terrible idea in general…)
