Eminem & Dre. Eminem is the one sitting down to pee. Dre has to go number two.

I sit down when I pee
There’s nothing that crazy ‘bout me
I’m just takin’ a whiz, mind your own biz
Why is everybody always staring at me?

Hey bro, I gotta go
Let me through, I gotta go number two

No can do, I’m taking a pee
Sitting on the loo, having a good long wee

Are you sitting down?

I’m sitting down

And you’re not making brown?

I’m not making brown

Are you making iced tea?

Just lemonade

But are you sitting down?

I’m sitting down!

Why don’t you stand like a regular man?
Then you can pee in the urinal can

If you really wanna know why I’m sitting strong
I just can’t stand touching my dong

Stop I can only get so eShrekt

Thanks for the clarification, I’m old and sometimes my memory is more fuzzy on those details. But yeah, it’s always been a license, and back then it felt more like ownership because of the honor system.

“Piracy is a service problem.” Truer words have never been spoken.

Let’s be real though, technically software has always lived and died on licensing instead of ownership.

I remember software in the 90s having limits on how many computers you could use an application on (however rarely enforced), and making backup copies of software that you owned (like copying a CD for backup purposes) was a hard fought right when the DMCA was being implemented. But even the backup only helped so much because especially in the last 20 years tech has grown at lightning speed since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. A CD backup of Office 2003 isn’t really helpful in 2026 anyway.

I’m not arguing this is how it should be. I’m just clarifying that technically this is how it has always been. We’ve never had full rights to do whatever we want with the software we buy. It’s why Free (as in speech, not as in beer) Open Source Software is so important, and why open hardware is so important by extension.

The same companies that rose to dominance using an environment with weak regulation and enforcement while also maintaining that hacker attitude of “routing around bad legislation” have now been using their dominance to make an environment of tight regulation and enforcement, now that they’re at the top. They have spent endless amounts of lobbying money to get this environment to benefit them where you’re locked in via hardware and software to the companies rules on how you use your hardware and software… because the software was never really ours, and now they’re leveraging that to make our hardware not ours either.

The only way out is through. FOSS.

It’s the christian conservative version of the onion, the Babylon Bee, thus the “BBN.”

How will they protect that content being trained for AI models on third party piracy sites where dumps of Patreon subscriber content get published without a paywall. On those sites, there’s no protection.

Like that’s the unfortunate part about a lot of this is a lot of people pay for Patreon access and then just pirate the content out. I’m not against piracy, but I do see the nature of the piracy sites being wide open with no controls or protections from AI scraping that even with Patreon doing this, many are likely to still have their art scraped.

Blaspheme. This is Lemmy.

It should be "They should just switch to Apple Linux. "

Also:

that’s why after i take a drink i make sure sure to make that refreshed sound of the tonque click into “aaaaahhhh.”

i make sure do it even more loudly at restaurants so everyone knows how tasty the water there is.

Here you go OP, please no more sad.

This is definitely the kind of prayer I was praying.

Please God, if you’re out there listening. He is going to give a speech in blazing heat today. You know who I’m talking about. Do us all a favor, will you?

Sweet, thanks for this, I was curious but had never researched.
