“While cameras generated a mechanical reproduction of a scene, she explained that it does so only after a human develops a ‘mental conception’ of the photo, which is a product of decisions like where the subject stands, arrangements and lighting, among other choices.
“‘Human involvement in, and ultimate creative control over, the work at issue was key to the conclusion that the new type of work fell within the bounds of copyright,’ Howell wrote.”

I love this trope.
“Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory. If you have
to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has
you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man.
Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you
in fear. They want you to know you’re going to die. So they’ll talk. They’ll gloat.
They’ll watch you squirm. They’ll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar.
So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.”
this does not necessarily apply to chrome-based browsers but it very well can. ymmv
Click here to get firefox, and once you install it, firefox will ask if you want to import all of your logins, bookmarks and settings from Chrome or whatever else you browsed with.
However, there is also AdNauseam which is built atop uBlock and will silently click on every ad it blocks so you can fuck with advertising companies. Essentially, this poisons whatever information profile they’ve built up on you. AdNauseam was even banned on the Google Web Store in 2017, so you can tell it works and that Google fucking HATES IT.
Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively
So Texas is gonna try putting queer people in camps
How else could you possibly go about enforcing this other than jailing anyone who “looks queer enough” to have “participated in sodomy” which again is just any sex outside of just for reproduction.
The goal is not to stop all gay sex everywhere; the goal is to stop people from talking openly and honestly about gay sex and LGBTQ issues in general–in other words, they’re trying to force y’all back into the closet.
And if it gives cops another tool they can use in trumping up charges against people they don’t like, that’s icing on the cake.
Hmm yeah maybe a brick isn’t enough.
also that is very much how laws like this have always been enforced. like. yes, it IS an attack on anyone who looks queer! that’s the point! That’s Their Exact Fucking Plan
