  • Nobody can force you to supply all your files. Any search must be specific and with particular intent. You don’t have to assist them either they have to get it themselves. If you’re worried about searches seizures fully encrypt your PC. Not that hard on windows and a a single checkbox on install with most Linux distros (also easy to do afterwards). You never have to provide a password.

    You’re not going to be charged though unless you’re really hated by the police. Nor will you be caught if you use a VPN. It’s just not going to happen. What’s more likely is a civil suit from a company you’ve pirated from but even that’s incredibly unlikely unless you’re prolific with seeding your downloads.

    Always remember cops are legally allowed to lie to you they can and do break the law and you should never speak to them more than legally needed. (Provide name\license maybe place of residence depending on where you are and the crime investigated) don’t talk to cops otherwise ask for a lawyer and keep asking until provided one. Doesn’t matter if it’s a traffic stop or murder case innocent or guilty

















  • Though this is about Lemmy.world I think sh.itjust.works has a similarly sad story.

    We had a vote for the banner when sh.itjust.works started where a bunch of artist came forward with art for the banner and some AI guys came in with art as well. This was clearly stated by the AI guys, with no trickery. The community voted in the agora to reject the art of its users in favour of this stable diffusion slop.

    I think you can tell I dispise AI art. The reason for it here though is that the community voted for it over real artists time, dedication, and love for the community.

    If someone really wanted to change it though one could create a discussion post in the agora, our community voting community, to have it changed. They’d likely need to provide new art which, as an artist, I’m unwilling to do. The community has shown it cares little for the time, effort, and skill involved so somebody with an hour and stable diffusion would win out over the multi-day process of making something meaningful
