Back when I was in my mid 20s, I was big into the car scene and Scion was super hot, specifically the Tc. They had a two page ad in a magazine that looked eerily familiar, was a swamp dragon type creature rising from bottom of the pages, arms spreading out some trees, something like that, I don’t remember the details.

Anyway, I had seen it before, went searching for it and it was found on DeviantArt, nearly identical. Slightly different creature design, but everything else was unmistakable.

I emailed the designer letting him know what I found, he was from Europe, had never heard of Scion and was very confused as why they took his art. I think he was younger, didn’t know what if anything, he could do. But it was clearly stolen. I had bookmarked/saved his art years before I saw the ad, completely unrelated.

This isn’t new at all, and sometimes very hard to prove unfortunately.

It didn’t directly effect them. They don’t give a shit how it was built.

“Knowingly” exploit you, not even a guess.

I don’t try, I do. Wanna try me?

didn’t someone try to trademark “real cheese” to use on packaging as a fake label?

cutting ads out of your life cuts them off at the ankles. so what if they know in some database that I bought something, I don’t see their ads, so it’s useless info.

even in Promotions and Updates tabs?

on the other two inbox tabs sometimes, promotions and updates. just checked, saw one in the app for Verizon in promotions.

I use Firefox with ublock origin and pihole, blocking over 1 million sites.

damn dude, all you do is bitch. maybe get a different camera setup.

champagne problems.

I think he had one or two good lines in the show. but the other three carried that shit like their lives depended on it.

only anecdotes unfortunately.

work is work

might be better to separate drives, windows has been known to fuck up Linux partitions recently.

Removed by mod

you are the reason people hate Linux users, you cant just let people do what they want, always has to be some competition and “windows sucks”.

just be normal, windows has its place whether it’s for you or not.

damn, must have taken you a few nights to come up with this one

what? it LITERALLY asks if you want to add an additional keyboard when you set it up for the first time. and adding one afterwards isn’t hard.
