I got invited to a thanksgiving dinner feom an extended family thing that was being put on by a wealthy person in the family I barely spoke to. It was at a private cabin that was larger than any house ive ever lived in. There was an entire chef team making dinner including appetizers that people brought around on tiny trays. I was dressed in a tshirt and jeans and being waited on hand and foot the entire time. This “cabin” had artwork taller than me on the walls and a big centerpiece fossil as you entered the door. There was a TV that only popped out when you flipped a lightswitch.

The dinner was amazing but i also felt so weird not helping with anything. I also kept worrying about how none of the staff could eat the food? Like? You’re here on Thanksgiving cooking for another family some top quality food and you aren’t even allowed to eat it?

The whole thing wad awkward and made me self conscious but the rich side of the family acted like the chefs and waiters didnt even exist.

In defense of steal like an artist, its more of a self help book about learning to like the process of making things, not literally about how to steal art.

Hilariously its also very anti AI

Having gone through my own DMCA slog with a news site using my artwork without permission, having copyright without it being registered is basically useless. I consulted two different lawyers and both of them recommended the same thing, register every work I produce, which is just not feasible.

Took 2 years and multiple self submitted DMCAs before they finally removed my artwork. Lawyers basically told me I couldn’t do shit unless I registered my art.

Have you tried suwayomi? Its a desktop version of tachiyomi and uses tbe same plugins.ive found it very solid and has been around for a long time.
