Surely it's because they want to increase the amount they pay the musicians.

If you like to upload your own music (like Google music), iBroadcast is the tippy tops. You can still use bandcamp (with or without yt-dlp) for discovery, and then upload what you like to iBroadcast.
iBroadcast is what i use. That plus rutracker and you can sail the high seas like it's 1699.
Hi everyone, JP here. This person is making a reference to the Weird Al biopic, and if you haven't seen it, you should.
Weird Al is an incredible person and has been through so much. I had no idea what a roller coaster his life has been! I always knew he was talented but i definitely didn't know how strong he is.
His autobiography will go down in history as one of the most powerful and compelling and honest stories ever told. If you haven't seen it, you really, really should.
ITT NO SPOILERS PLS
I dated a girl named Password for a while. She was a lot older than me, she was born in the year 1234.
Anyway, @op the exact same thing happened to me. I gotta get smarter about opsec.
This isn't true. AI can generate tan people if you show them the color tan and a pale person -- or green people or purple people. That's all ai does, whether it's image or text generation -- it can create things it hasn't seen by smooshing together things it has seen.
And this is proven by reality: ai CAN generate csam, but it's trained on that huge image database, which is constantly scanned for illegal content.
I guess my question is, why would anyone continue to "consume" -- or create -- real csam? If fake and real are both illegal, but one involves minimal risk and 0 children, the only reason to create real csam is for the cruelty -- and while I'm sure there's a market for that, it's got to be a much smaller market. My guess is the vast majority of "consumers" of this content would opt for the fake stuff if it took some of the risk off the table.
I can't imagine a world where we didn't ban ai generated csam, like, imagine being a politician and explaining that policy to your constituents. It's just not happening. And i get the core point of that kind of legislation -- the whole concept of csam needs the aura of prosecution to keep it from being normalized -- and normalization would embolden worse crimes. But imagine if ai made real csam too much trouble to produce.
AI generated csam could put real csam out of business. If possession of fake csam had a lesser penalty than the real thing, the real stuff would be much harder to share, much less monetize. I don't think we have the data to confirm this but my guess is that most pedophiles aren't sociopaths and recognize their desires are wrong, and if you gave them a way to deal with it that didn't actually hurt chicken, that would be huge. And you could seriously throw the book at anyone still going after the real thing when ai content exists.
Obviously that was supposed to be children not chicken but my phone preferred chicken and I'm leaving it.
Me: Oh, I get it, this "Lemmy" website -- it's like The Onion but for nerds?
My fellow lemmings: No, they're serious. run0 is real.
Me: Hah. The Onion, but for nerds! I love it.

I still get block messages in Vivaldi, but not Firefox.
Trump took a LOT of money in gifts from China while in office so I would guess they like him
Edit to add source. There are lots more articles, this is far from the only one

My journey was Windows-> Ubuntu -> Mint -> Fedora -> Arch.
(Infuriatingly i still use windows for gaming, but nothing else.)
Did i mention that i use arch?
More importantly:
One time i messed up a script and accidentally copied 40,000 mp3s to the same filename. 20 years of music collecting, literally going back to Napster, all gone.
Well, not completely gone. I've got everything uploaded to iBroadcast, and I'm pretty sure i can download my library. But I'm not sure i deserve to.
