Unlike physical goods, information can flow and be copied freely at a fundamental physics level.

The electricity and silicon required to make this happen are not free, on a societal or physical level. There is a tangible cost to this transfer, even if you're ignoring the social construct of copyright.

I think this issue comes from a misunderstanding of "free", possibly conflating it for "trivially easy".

Rather than develop a system that rewards digital artists based on how much something is used for free

Feel free to come up with such a system. I think you'll find that a rather difficult task.

Its a scarcity based system

In what way?

but it is still not the same as stealing since it does not deprive the artists of their original copy.

The artist has ownership rights to all copies, not just the original; it's literally in the word "copyright".

Oh well then that's just so much better, huh?

Then we claim the power to nullify Trump.

Theft is more than just physically removing a non-fungible item. Depriving owed earnings is also considered theft, hence why piracy is considered theft because there is a debt owed for the pirated media. If you believe in wage theft, then you believe in IP theft.

Yeah, that's what's always bothered me about the drive for the highest-fidelity graphics possible. In motion, those details are only visible for a frame or two in most cases.

For instance, some of the PC mods I've seen for Cyberpunk 2077 look absolutely gorgeous... in screenshots. But once you get into a car and start driving or get into combat, it looks nearly indistinguishable from what I see playing the vanilla game on my PS5.

It was a summer camp for girls, and the campground got completely swept up in the flood. The flash flood warnings didn't come in until after 1AM, well after most of them would've been asleep.

The facility [...] will have an initial capacity of about 3,000 detainees, DeSantis said. The center was built in eight days and features more than 200 security cameras, 28,000-plus feet (8,500 meters) of barbed wire and 400 security personnel

Now imagine if they gave even half as much of a shit about building housing for low-income families.

I've actually seen this recently at some stores, usually just for the self-checkout section.
