It's a bit frustrating that Phil's calling is CLEARLY bizarre, independent arthouse horror but he's stuck making reaction videos on YT.com because no one appreciates his genius

I genuinely want to write an essay as to why G3 is a good reboot. Like I'm so serious. Not even out of spite for g3 haters or anything. Just cuz I genuinely do love G3 and want any potential skeptics or linewalkers to see all the good shit coming out of it in terms of content on screen and through the dolls.

btw if you ever can't find an epub/pdf/downloadable danmei english fan translation, my advice is to check libgen first (and annas archive if that doesnt work) but if you STILL cant find it:

dm me and if i have the epub in my personal danmei gdrive folder i can send you a link (this also applies to my typeset pdfs of misvil and devil venerable and any danmei i typeset in the future, but the price is that if you find an error in those you have to tell me about it). or if it's in my ficbinding git repo i can send it to you but it may be in a weird format

if it's a non-downloadable google doc you can usually still download it as html if you disable js (on firefox you can use browser extensions like noscript or umatrix for this but im not sure what's available on chrome), change the end of the link from /edit to /mobilebasic, and refresh the doc (then use your browser to save as html). or if that doesnt work try this script. once you have html you can use pandoc to convert it to whatever format you like, including plaintext (although i've had issues with pandoc unicode handling so chinese characters may get mangled).

fan translators often post their work on like wordpress websites or whatever with more or less static html; you can use either your browser or the command-line tool curl to save individual chapters as html or (if the url has a friendly format) a simple bash+curl one-liner (e.g. for i in {1..30}; do curl -L https://foobartranslates.wordpress.com/workname-chapter-$i -o workname_$i.html; done) to bulk download (and then convert from html if you like, as above)

some translation websites (e.g. chrysanthemum garden) are somewhat more complicated and use js to load in the chapter text, so the browser save button will work (if you have js turned on) but curl won't. if you want to write a bulk download script you'll probably need to use webdriver. i wrote a chrysanthemum-garden-specific download script a while back which i can send you over DMs (if the work is password locked you'll need to join the discord for the password, which updates weekly) or, if that's too technically intimidating, i can run the script myself and send you the output

remember: anything on the internet can vanish at any time; downloading things for your personal archive is always morally right 👍

i didn't want to wait forever for my overly-parallel yt-dlp script but i also didn't want to download one at a time when the youtube api is rate-limited, so here we are patching my script w/ a prototype threads flag to set the number of concurrent yt-dlp instances to call and to split the input urls accordingly.

need some logic for intelligent handling of danglers, but that can be switched on if len(urls) % threads != 0 and just means we take (len(urls)/threads) + 1 until len(urls) < len(urls)/threads) and then dump the remainder into the last thread. i think ? i might need to check that produces the correct number of threads at the end.

am eepy, so logic brain not super fired up d:

the whole thing needs a major refactor anyway, and i need a better monitoring solution than calling watch on the abduco session list, and having ^C trigger killing all the sessions regardless of finished status. might instead call mprocs (whether or not i keep the abduco sessions) and monitor that way.

If you have not seen this post goin' around about not giving permission to allow people to take your work and put it into an ai against your wishes. There's the post.

Let's talk about this user's close-minded brain that they left in the replies.

The fact that they believed they are saying "Facts" is pathetic. They even answer a question from anon who believes they are saying facts.

Hey come here, have you ever heard of... plagiarism? It's a fancy word for theft. Especially in a creative field mostly used in writing.

My fellow lovelies, it's that time again.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO SLAUGHTER ANOTHER BIGOTED IDIOT IN THE CREATIVE FIELD >:D

Ai aka Artificial intelligence, what the hell is that? Glad you ask, I don't know, but in simpler terms, it's code that replicates and learns. The more you interact with it and correct its errors the more it will realize and perfect its code. IT'S NOT ALIVE. It's simply following a code that involves something along the line like us which is growth.

Using ChatGPT for fun is alright. Using ChatGPT or OpenAi to finish a story that is not yours... is not alright. That is where a line has been crossed. A line that violates Fair Use.

And since the majority of AO3 users are not putting their work behind a paywall, it still falls under fair use.

OH but it's a fanfic, we can do whatever we like with it!

WRONG. Fan-fictions falls under copyright laws. So in other words. Y'all are violating our rights by putting them into an Ai. get fuck.

BOOM! BANG! AND HERE'S ANOTHER THING! Ai, in the US, have to have the permission of the original author to have their work used in the testing to improve the Ai ability.

SO GET FUCK AGAIN

Okay now that the facts are done. Like I'm serious, it's done, got any questions, shoot me an inbox. Now we dissect this person's close mind dumb reply.

FYI, everyone is like, destroying this person. I'm serious, oof I do not want to be this person. I still kinda remember the last person that spoke dumbness, but about art. Remember that person, damn, they really got my blood boiling at like... oh hey, it's 3 in the morning... This must be fate.

SO LET'S BEGIN!

"I mean alright but at the same time, Maybe it's a sign you should finish your fanfictions 🙃"

Damn, someone has a lot of time on their hand. And as someone who does has a lot of time on my own hands, I still can't fully finish a fic. Wanna know why, because I'm tired. Like there would be days where my brain goes somewhere and I'm left with trash. I'm feelin' trashy, I'm feelin' moody, I'm even feelin' lost. It's normal to feel empty and want to fill it but don't have the energy for it. So maybe instead of being an ass to people and forcing them to finish something they can't at the moment. How about, maybe, you should stop being an ass and let people take their time 🙃.

"Like, if a fic has been abandoned for at least over a year, I feel like it's ok"

Everyone, repeat after me, fan fiction is protected under the copyright laws.

"Cause like, you clearly aren’t gonna finish it, why should it be left unfinished?"

Who's gonna tell em'? Anyone? *sees you raising your hand in the back, ignores you* Alright, I will! So like, do you not have imagination? Like do you not just, lay there in the grass under a big tree, letting the wind touch upon your cheekbone, and just... dream about the story. Like, don't you just read a volume of a book and just, imagine what happens next. Once you are done reading that volume of the book, don't you just anticipate what happens next in the story? Don't you have those moments where you thought about whether a character was going to die or live? Whether they save the day or not? Cause if you don't then damn, that's sad. You're sad. Like shit man, I'm sad but oof, that's even sadder than me.

"Now I don't think anyone has the right to post that work anywhere cause it's not yours."

OMG, I'M SO PROUD-

"But getting an AI to finish a work that *you have no intention of finishing* isn't really wrong in my opinion."

I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU AND NOW LOOK AT YOU. YOU IDIOT. Once again, say it with me now, fan fiction is protected under the copyright laws. So in other words, THEY CANNOT PUT YOUR WORK INTO AI WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT/PERMISSION. god fuckin' damn it. So close, you were so fuckin' close.

"If you are gonna finish it, make that clear"

HOW!? No, tell me how. How the fuck is someone who is using their free time to write a fic is gonna make it clear for you to understand that is their work and they get to choose whether they can work on it or not. Huh? It's fanfic, it's one thing when a users ask the author to continue the story because that is a thing that writers do. There is a group of people that would take over the fic and finish it for the author if the author just does not have time to finish it.

It's another when a user just blatantly takes it and shoves it into an Ai because AHAHAHA IT'S A FANFIC IT'S NOT PROTECT UNDER ANYTHING. WRONG BITCH IT COUNTS AS A FANWORK. Therefore it falls under fair use and copyright.

Writing is more complex to tell whether plagiarism exists in it. But we're no longer talking about plagiarism if you are just shoving it into an ai machine. You see, that is a violation of OUR copyright. OUR fair use. OUR work.

Oh but what about intellectual property? Are y'all putting your work behind a paywall? no, then it's fine. You still have the power to protect your work. So instead of believing this person thinking they are spilling facts... do a simple Google search. Is fanfiction protected by copyright law?

It's fanwork. Therefore, yes. Yes, it is.

Just gonna casually edit this: The commentators have learned what they did/said was wrong.

This is not a debate post. I'm stating facts that your work is protected and in the US you got to have the author's permission to put their work into Ai tech/machines. If you don't have their permission then it's a violation of their right.

i think most people saying ANYTHING about the lolita musical should really pipe down because i'm willing to bet 95% of you have not seen the actual final script. If you're basing your opinion on secondhand knowledge here maybe think for a second about what the current average secondhand knowledge of the WIDELY AVAILABLE BOOK is and swallow that hot take you formed based on 2 tiktoks and 38 seconds of a podcast

[starberry-cupcake]

I really need to catch up on that magnus protocol situation apparently

[graceschasity]

I think I'm a pretty patient and understanding person but starkid has until new years to send me an update about my signed npmd script before I start raising some hell

[visionthefox]

That's what I thought too, Dark Sun is intelligent to lock Moon inside his mind and then "dismember" each part of him to incorporate more knowledge than he already had.

Besides that, I love Dark Sun because he is a character who doesn't know anything and is very intrigued by knowing why he does it, what he wants or what his motivation is, giving a little more mystery than Ruin.

The first time it was shown I loved it and it gave me a feeling of fear, because we are used to Sun's tone being a bit sharp and emotional and we saw it in a few other dimensions. And in the case of D!Sun is an emotionless bass that gives a touch to the character.

Another thing is that D!Sun and Sun are more creative with their ideas than Moon's, taking them down very different paths than Moon's (I don't know if it would apply to Eclipse because he thinks the same as Moon but In a more twisted way, even Solar has demonstrated this behavior to solve problems). So our Sun would be able to do something if he proposed it and had the support.

oh yes yes yes I love that concept way better! as a Sun- he can learn! I feel even our Sun is capable of maths or at least some tech! but what most Sun have is low self steem and leads to not even try to learn.. see, Sun believed he could NOT do magic, not even a sparkle, then is proven wrong, even tho, is a choise of his side to not master these powers (and then those space kids telling him "you cant, Lunar can, you cant") Suns are indeed creative, while Moon seems to go in lines, straight to the point, even rushing anything to get their goals, Suns do get to be a bit of trial and fun, Ruin does show this, as he could have literally do his plan on all of october, but didnt, why? his Sun side just had to play games! Eclipse is a Moon, so he is unable to "be creative" if only on desings, but even that is too much, plan- tech- wise, feels like Dark Sun is one to love to play cat.. while Moon are Dogs.. mmh ! he is indeed so cool! a actual mistery! I remember all the far art and theories of him being both depressed- so done with all- or just mere "dont give a fuck" mindset he was "evil" but in a sense of "moral grey" didnt helped it was OLD Moon that meet him, we know OldMoon loved to put everyone as "twisted evil" when they were too similat to him.. I do wish they didnt do a evil Morty on Him tho.. I lke him more grey.. BUT TELL ME! what do YOU like of him? and what YOU expect of him?

[theandromedastrain1971]

I'm such a stupid, fucking, asshole

when the Red Valley team released the episode talking about the final season I was like. you know what I need to not think about this or I'll lose my mind so the season will come out when it comes out.

so the Clive thing comes out and I'm like, holy shit it's happening right? and I restart from the beginning, enjoying it just as much or maybe even more than the first two times, and once again reach that episode talking about the final season.

so that's how, and especially when, I learn that there was (IS) an Indiegogo campaign and I would've literally been... Ready to pay for those super expensive contributions for real... and now it's gone, genuine tears in my eyes rn. I missed it because I didn't want to get too excited and needed to get my mind off of it. fuck my fucking life.

just remembered being 18 and having an embarrassing crush on this actress. it was feb 2020. pandemic had just begun. lockdown was imminent. and for some reason in the midst of all this my brain decides to hyperfixate on this girl that looks like she jumped straight out of the 80s

[captaincleverusernamehere]

i love having a silly little project. i’m currently abridging and high school-ifying TGWDLM just like. for fun. as an exercise. like i can’t do anything with this but at least now i have sympathy for people who make adaptations/junior versions of shows and make absurd cuts bc i cut Workin’ Boys from my version and it physically hurt me
