        He’s the equivalent of one of those Facebook people that thinks “if you put this at the end of your posts they can’t steal your comments”. It’s nonsense and doesn’t change anything. Just ignore it and keep scrolling.

        In this way the ai bros won’t use that comment for training LLMs. Because they care about copyright and they would never, for example, download a torrent with 81 terabytes of pirated ebooks

              Instead of being a dick in response to a simple question, maybe have a quick link saved that you can paste for those responses if you get it fairly often. Many lemmy apps will let you save message drafts to repost. Several Android keyboards (including Gboard) will let you save messages that you can paste in anywhere as well. Or, since you;re probably using something to add that signature to every post anyway. Add another link explaining. Because right now you just look like an asshole in the responses given how easy it is to do that.

              Being a dick in response to an honest question will just result in a negative reaction towards all of your posts in general, regardless of your intent. Many people utilize tagging systems to mark specific users they’ve interacted with previously so they don’t bother interacting directly with certain accounts like trolls again since that’s always a waste of time. If your intent is to drive interaction away, then you’re being successful, but it begs the question why you’re bothering to post at all.

                It doesnt seem they care about people knowing what the license stuff is about or spreading awareness about it. Its edgy thats what matters

                  Wow, yet another sarcastic and again unhelpful response with an air of perceived superiority. How surprising. Your consistency is commendable.

                    I’d rather just block your miserable ass. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

                    You’d think, right?

                    Seems though like I keep having people who rather tear into me over and over again instead, for my licensing my content by including a footer in my comments, than just blocking me, for some strange reason.

                  Heyyy Cosmy

                  they were pretty niceeee… anyway -

                  I use Snippety on iOS/macOS but “Text Replacements” is built in to both, in Settings - FREE auto expansion of, say a short keyword like…

                  NOTAGAIN

                  could expand to

                  Thanks for asking. Always getting asked so have this link handy: [link already properly in markdown formatting]

                  Someone will have an Android/PC recommendation, maybe something from F-Droid.

                  PS: would DEF say no to suggestion of two links in every post - one link in every post is already surprisingly noisy on mobile, but I’m sure that’ll be granularly toggleable one day

                    Being called a dick more than once (especially when I don’t think I am), is not what I would consider being “pretty nice”. …

                    Instead of being a dick in response to a simple question

                    Being a dick in response to an honest question

                    The issue is I’m getting brigaded on an every 48ish hour basis, and it always starts with an ‘innocent’ inquiry comment, and then turns into attacks, and then with large downvotes. Not sure how much of that ANYONE should have to put up with that, and still have to be 100% polite in response to that.

                    In the future, I’ll give them the link to that large post that discusses the issue.

                    I really wasn’t being a dick, not at all (and I’m a polite person in real life by personality). Please consider that maybe others are being intellectually dishonest on purpose, reading more into what I’ve been saying, to apply an attitude to it, so to be able to criticize more harshly. Persons with an agenda (a really “WTF is wrong with people?” weird one, but still).

                    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have like nine other comments from the brigade to read/respond to.

      What if Elon has already bought them all? It doesn’t take much for a jizzilionaire like him

        His wealth is mostly imaginary. If he actually moved to solidify any significant portion of it, it would all collapse as its tied up in very few companies.

        When he was at a listed value of 200 billion he had to get 20-30 other groups and governments together for the whole twitter takeover. Which should have been easy for him at the time based on his net worth alone.

          1. It’s always better to spend the money of others.
          2. It doesn’t appear that bribing congresspeople is all that expensive. IIRC, it only took $60k to bribe that one congressperson who got caught.
          3. Just the threat of financing primary challengers appears to be enough to control Republican congresspeople. He’s probably privately doing the same with some Dems too (offering not to finance challengers; he’s already said he will finance challengers to all Democrats).

          It doesnt really matter if he can get 200 billion in cash right this instant. His theoretical net worth is enough to get him the influence and power that comes with that kind of money.

            I am absolutely not saying that he can’t get enough money up to fuck everything up.

            But most of his wealth is Tesla stock. Recall that when he sold only $10 billion of it, the price tanked.

            He is only worth $200+ billion if you don’t look at it hard.

        If we’re going to “what if” why stop there? Why don’t we have Elon kidnapping them and implanting mind control devices in each of their heads. A person with those kind of resources and technology could do such a thing. /s

        If I was to take your point seriously, I would suggest the courts would have something to say about that, from lawsuits filed by civilians.

        The hyperbole really has to stop. You don’t go from a 0% authoritarianism to 100% in one day/step. Its a process, and we are not there yet (though I do definitely agree we’re starting to lean in that direction).
