Shopping around for new printer is becoming a small headache. I'm caught between paying more than I'd like for something with better reviews, or staying in ideal price range but with very mixed reviews.

so annoying how so many other trans men & transmascs online are all like "fuck transmeds and terfs!" but then if they see art of a trans guy enjoying having boobs and being sexually desired, they have a breakdown over it crying "it's a fetish" or their dysphoria made them attack the artist

You don’t pick your blorbos, your blorbos pick you. One day you are just gonna have a chill day looking out the window and out of nowhere your blorbo will run you over with a 50T truck and will ruin your life

GenAI will never be art to me because nothing it does would be possible without the theft of work artists worked hard to make. The earliest art pieces were made with the most primitive tools, and above all else, PASSION. A computer can never replicate the emotions that drive a human to make art.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home.
On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent.
The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal.
Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.
