This is a commonly held belief and one that I had for most of my life. I don't know what finally did it for me, but the book Trekonomics definitely gave me a push.
Great I really wanted that.
I wonder how this will affect the right to be forgotten. It's not like theyre going to un-train any models or remove any derivative content
Hell yeah watch me tween between sitting and standing without having the stop moving. So much time saved
I think we have very different ways of enjoying art. I don't really understand how it's possible for at to have nothing with the artist's views, unless it were totally random. Actually, even that would be saying something.
But I get the feeling that we look at art pretty differently.
Can't say personally, but for many it's the first time they're even looking at what other engines have to offer.
I got that, I was just repeating the number. My point is that leather is more durable than is necessary for a consumer electronic, especially one from Apple which has made planned obsolescence continuous innovation a cornerstone of their business.
Human rights don't exist either. These are legal and philosophical concepts that we decide on, not fundamental constants.
Well vegans do it, so it must be available enough
Why I would separate the artist from what they made? I'm interested in what they have to say about the world. That's the point of art.
It's not just content to make me happy until the next hit. Like, it has meaning.
Yeah but now imagine they were part of a sixty year old computer. Kind of a waste if you ask me.
The electronics here will be grossly obsolete within five years.
Canvas straps can be good quality, less sticky, and last way beyond the lifespan of any consumer grade electronic device.
Not to sound like I'm a textiles expert, so don't come at me
On the flip side, they are immune to any other "cringe attacks" that come up. Who knows it might be strangely liberating
Is there a client that lets you easily block vote counts and buttons?
I remember RedReader did this for the bad old place, and it greatly improved my QoL while browsing. I only looked at what people were saying.
I think a part of it is the same old "normies are invading our community." A bunch of the queer old guard of fedi are having to dent the new kids into shape.
I'm seeing a lot more centrist takes than I did before, and we all know what that leads to
I'm finding it's the opposite. Depending on what thread I stumble into I'll get wildly different takes
I get ya. I'm also privileged enough that I used to be able to ignore politics unless it was really in my face, because most of it didn't affect me directly.
But some people's actual identities, bodies, their continued existence, is political - whether they like it or not.
So I'm sorry. We live in interesting times. Historical times. Some people feel we might be at the end of history. It's going to get loud.
