on a three day old account! you should apologize!
I would, but I don’t want to waste the energy telling Gemini to write up a fake apology.


Dude, come on, you have to be a fucking idiot way too credulous to take this at face value or even entertain it. It’s a picture of some guy calmly putting an acoustic guitar into the overhead compartment with everyone around him behaving normally, and the caption, with literally no evidence, warps it into how he started specifically “playing Maroon 5” and how he got shamed into stopping by some guy yelling at him to shut the fuck up. (You’d think they’d know the song he was playing for 30 seconds if they know it’s Maroon 5, by the way.) It’s the most generic “DAE Maroon 5 is obnoxious? XD” fake story you could make.


That happened.


So you’ve moved the goalposts from “that’s not just participation, it’s [things that participation entails]” to “well this doesn’t apply unless you need it to exist”*. GN needs a major platform like YouTube to actually reach an audience.
* By the way, the comic is illustrating a man with a car that’s seemingly from the 1920s or 30s, so there goes that tenuous argument.


contributing to, and directly benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about.
You do understand what “participation” means, right? You understand that the original comic is specifically talking about contributing to and benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about, right?
I agree with your other point that GN should offer more alternatives to watch their videos, but this one is creating a distinction without a difference.

This is a lie. Rebekah is dead, and the cat is trying to lure in more victims.

Congrats, OP, for not giving a single shit.


Personally, I think it’s for the better they remain separate projects for logistical reasons. I also understand why OHM went with CC0 for their license, and it was their (I think correct) choice to make it incompatible with the OSM one.
I know that’s vague, but mainly, I think OHM is better off not having to worry about OSM shenanigans, while OSM is better off being able not to have to worry about historic preservation.


Ah, you’re right. Brainfart. I forgot about that. I guess I can’t think of a way to contract it to a point then.
