I just watched the short and I'm not a fan. I understand that they are trying to make a point and the presentation is great, but the way they paint the social worker and the judge (who, based on the story, seem to be a cool dude) feels

I think you're misunderstanding the OSS philosophy. If the outcome was all that mattered then piracy would be good enough. I'd argue that this is the same situation as with Tivoization [1] where the final product is not truly free

I'd like to frame this differently: watermarking is a (weaker) form of DRM, and DRM has never worked in favor of the users. I know of at least one music GenAI service whose ToS forbid me from using their productions in ways that are in

I'd warn HN users not to click on that link simply because it will load a 26Mb message that will likely cause quite a strain on kernel.org's servers if everyone here does it.

My theory is that doing so would cannibalize their user base. I think that those who buy a pro camera nowadays do it because they care about photography itself. For that public post-processing is a touchy subject: besides the philosophical
