Of course they are, ask like any good author, actor or filmmaker. Art is an expression of the human spirit, a human using a medium to communicate some part of their inner world or of the world around them. Good movies and books are all about this.
I mean, you can pretend otherwise, there is no empirical definition of art, but I would imagine that any reasonable person would agree that movies and books are art.
I feel like this statement can't be true. Have you never watched a good movie or rea d a good book?
I would say it's fine to pirate Harry Potter media.
So if you are really that into it, just pirate it.
What's wrong with a simple piefed community?
I think, that the vast majority of pieced developers is actively using piefed (or some piefed-compatible software) though, because otherwise, how would you even think of contributing to a project like that? Is not breaking some peoples habits really worth all the negative aspects of realtime chat platforms like Zulip or Matrix? I think there would be some huge upsides, if we explicitly told people on the codeberg page to post their questions to our forum instead of asking it on matrix/zulip.
Yeah, I've seen some projects use that, but I see no reason to, considering it's not FOSS and piefed is really well suited for this exact purpose.
Alright, I guess I was the fool for thinking I could have a productive exchange of ideas with SatansMagothyCumFart
