Economic viable mass produced “art” made with the intention of grabbing money was always shit. Before and after AI.

If new uninspired blockbuster gets done with AI instead of incredibly bad and uninspired human resources is of no consequence to the art I enjoy.

Good inspired art doesn’t need to be economically viable in a capitalistic system, and many times is not. Before and after AI.

People with something to express will always be doing it. There will be always someone wanting to make a handcrafted opera, and if it’s good it will always find its public. I do artistic expression myself, I get no revenue whatsoever, and I have no intention of stopping doing it. Because it’s not about money, it’s about self expression.

People can still do culture, and art, and whatever they want.

Go draw a picture, write a book, compose a song. It’s not like chatgpt is stepping on your doorway to stop you.

I will just upload some fake id with some faceswap filter for the video. They are getting slop in their ID database, that’s just it.

Not only I wouldn’t survive I would be that stupid character that makes the beloved character die because their idiocracy :3

I know like 5 dudes called Cesar.

Now our advertisement overlords won’t be pleased.

If pi is not exactly three why hasn’t my bridge fallen?

In my country euthanasia has to be required by the person wanting to ending. Nor the government nor any other person or organization can ask for this procedure to be done to an unwilling person.

The person has to require twice, and be evaluated by a comitee of medical doctors to ensure that it has a chronic disease that could not be cured and that it’s causing ongoing pain that would not get better with medication.

Statistics on it doesn’t point to it being “targeted to anyone”. More so, there are many people who ask for it and cannot get it in time and die of natural causes before the procedure could be done.

Euthanasia is already legal in some countries.

Cash is not 100% anonymous though. Vendors see you, cameras record you, you may even have to sign and present id for some transactions.

I recently went on a hunt for a cheap good offbrand controller. I bought several from gamesir 8bitdo and easysmx, and ended up landing on the gamesir cyclone 2. It’s quite good, though not perfect, because the ergonomics are not 100% my style, but it was my best option overall. I think it was like 50€.

Before that I was using the 30€ range controllers from easysmx and for their price they were good but only lasted a couple of years because stick drift.

I tried 8bitdo because everyone talked so good of them, but I didn’t like the ergonomics, that’s 100% personal though, the controller itself was good.

I also read about the Vader 4 controllers, which has good reviews but never tried it.

I’m out of the loop with this.

From the other reply I saw something about funding a guy who is behind omarchy. What has that guy done to be considered a fascist?

After some digging, is it the hyprland guy, and the drama surrounding it?

Except at some point if many instances defederate many other instances you cannot get the whole picture from any of those. Destroying the whole point of federation.

Federation is a strength if played right. If played wrong, like defederating a whole instance for a personal issue between admins, federation becomes a weakness and a deterrent for people who just want to have some fun to want to join or stay in the fediverse.

Is there an instance policy that affects dot world?

Or is it just a personal issue against one person?

I would argue that you should just ban THAT PERSON from your instance. Trying to hurt a whole instance and the whole federation concept over one person being rude on internet feels unreasonable.

People said “doesn’t matter which instance you land on when you sign in”, trying to lure people into the fediverse simplifying the sign in process. But with these kinds of behaviors is a BIG ISSUE which instance do you choose, making you create multiple accounts on a fragmented fediverse, for things that have nothing to do with you.

How many migrations could normal people who just want to have a social media place to have fun endure? One? Two? Three? After that I would guess many people would give up and just move away from the fediverse because they just have to keep making different accounts to interact with the whole place.

I fear the price will put it out of my budget for controllers.

Usually I buy my controllers at around 30-50€

This, I fear would go well over double the higher end of that.

When you are legally considered that in your country’s law. Any other distinction is fuzzy and unlikely to be really useful.

Piracy is the perfect example on how our economic system is flawed.

Practicing piracy shows the way for a better system.

Each time I torrent I murmur “This is the way”.

There are three options naming open source projects:

• Open/Libre something.
• This is not This acronym
• Kinky sounding acronym

Meanwhile Ebay shipping be like:

Yes, this 5€ product has a 185€ shipping fee, we are dispatching an heritage breed horse with an actual knight rider to deliver it to you apparently.

Where I live, europe, while not strictly illegal is so restricted and you have to ask for so many permissions to fly a small drone that’s not worth it.

People wanting to fly one would just go to some remote place on the countryside where no one would see you.
