I’m just gonna chalk this up to you not understanding my points literally at all and stop having this conversation. You are insufferable to talk to and outright refuse to see my point at all.

Okay, fine. I’ll do big words with you.

Let’s talk about the difference between Ethics and Morals. Ethics are what you individually follow, it’s your Ethos. Morals are what a society follows.

It may be morally correct to say that “people should be allowed to do as they please” while also ethically correct to say “you shouldn’t disrespect people’s wishes.”

You’re right, that it is moral for someone to imitate art. At least, in our culture. But that’s because most people follow the ethos that they can do and take as they please. I personally hold myself to a higher standard than that, and I hope you can do the same some day.

Edit to add: Fuck the golden rule. Follow the Platinum rule.

What do you make of the use of email in the business world? You’re right that quite a bit of that has turned into instant messaging as well, ie I text my boss instead of sending them mail but it definitely feels like that’s going away a lot slower if not expanding

I’m curious, not bashing. What signs have you seen that lead you to believe email is dying?

I do see your point, but these people absolutely should have a phone with a number. This phone should be used to make it appear as if you are never anywhere near protests. Create a paper trail that makes you look good

Ask yourself how you feel about this? How much would freedom, privacy, and anonymity be worth to you? Many realize the situation is dire, but are preoccupied with trying to survive the next rent payment, and are do not have the knowledge necessary to resist.

You don’t need to bin your phone, you just need to start using it more strategically. Different phones for different things if you can, or move only absolutely necessary things to the phone and keep sensitive data elsewhere if not.

ETA: Actually I just read some comments and apparently yeah OP thinks you should bin your phone

You really just wrote 4 paragraphs to say “I wanna make other people upset for my own personal gain at little to no benefit to the world at large”

Not sure when the last time you tried doing this is, but it’s pretty easy these days. KDE connect can pretty much handle most of the HTPC necessities. Alternatively, a debloated Onn box will do the trick quite easily

Honestly a lot of people just don’t realize how easy it actually is. They think it’s something arcane and strange

Mr. President, that man walked in here with a big blue box, and three of his friends. And, that’s the man he walked past. One of them is worth listening to.

I’m suggesting that disrespecting an artists wishes causes them unnecessary struggles which in turn unnecessarily makes it more difficult for them to do their work.

Do you know what the word unfettered means?

Edit to add: Why are you arguing for disrespecting people’s wishes?

I didn’t say they needed respect to be creative. I said they needed respect to be creative unfettered.

So, to recap, your position is this:

Artists do not deserve the respect that would allow them to be creative unfettered. Gotcha.

Because humans suck?

I take it as flattery

I respect your position, and I appreciate people who are willing to share their creativity in an inspiring way like that.

However, others don’t see it as flattery. Particularly in eastern cultures, it is seen as mockery or plagiarism. You can choose to disagree about why they don’t want you to imitate their style, but you should always respect the request.

No. We’re acting as if their opinion always mattered just as much as it does now.

While your style is not, can not, and should not be your intellectual property, you should have the right to say “I don’t want you to imitate my exact style” and people should respect that.

Imitators have been doing that since always, long before LLMs

Fill me in a bit. Are you under the impression that artists are particularly okay with/enjoy people imitating their art style?

Those are the same buttons I saw.

The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a “no records” error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn’t think about people wanting to test that feature and didn’t bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.

The reports, however is where you’ve confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything

Key-based connection with SSH

I’m not certain on how secure this is, but what you’re referring to is usually called “Passwordless SSH”
