That's a really great point, and demonstrates a deep understanding of how AI is changing the landscape of writing online!

> what basis could they use to withhold it other than redacting footage for the typical reasons? The basis is "come and take it." A court order doesn't work on the brownshirts.

This looks cool! How does it compare to something like WriteFreely ( https://writefreely.org/ )? EDIT - OH, I missed you're on the AT protocol, so there's the main difference already.

That's a really great point, and shows a deep understanding of how consistently humorless HN users are! If you want, I can show several more examples of people knee-jerk downvoting things that are actually pretty funny.

Small claims maybe to recoup towing/recovery fees, but a civil case? No way. That shit will make you go gray quick.

It's odd though, because fascism (techno or otherwise) is not going to value Justine for her creative talents. It's going to either a) force her into detransition/medical experimentation (like our current admin is already doi

Wait, is she legit a Trump supporter? I see stuff about praising various tech lords but haven't seen anything saying she supports Trump.

Yeah, I staunchly refuse to believe an ad company that releases a closed-source browser would violate our privacy. You're probably right that they changed the claim simply because it was too verbose. That's the best and only expla
