It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant
Darren Dahly@statsepi.bsky.social · 7d agoThey hounded Aaron Swartz to death for downloading papers from jstor but society is now supposed to just accept mass theft because this thing can write that TPS report *for* you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_S...

Real fuckin minefield for sexual assault survivors lately huh.
I think I found the secret to taming my hair: a couple drops of rosemary oil.
