As long as it’s between two consenting adults I really don’t give a shit.

Delicious irony

Find the nearest person to you with the same gender and kiss them.

The argument is the more you “enjoy” something the less enjoyable it becomes.

I love music but am not an audiophile but intimately aware of them.

The example I use is this.

I love music. My library is massive consisting of MP3s of various quality some of which are horrible rips with huge compression and loss.

I know audiophiles. They stress lossless compression and will go out of their way to find that Tool album in FLAC and will shit on anything less.

There’s a fundamental difference between me saying 'i think the Queen album ‘News Of The World’ is amazing" and “you really can’t appreciate the album unless you hear it in the original vinyl pressing”

I’m using lemmy.ca and love it

Now part of HitlerOS!

Solaris brings back memories lol. Haven’t touched one of those in decades!

See and I see it more as in modern times where it’s a simple figurehead.

I would disagree and say it’s more akin to a philosopher king hence less anarchy and more monarchy. It’s all good until the king dies and let’s see who succeeds them.

It will be most telling when Linus dies.

Happy to see Sony hate. Sony was Apple before Apple.

They’re also full on slaughtering the press too.

So a rundown of what they’re doing

1. Killing 2 civilians for every 1 Hamas
2. Killing children (50% of Gaza is under 18)
3. Killing journalists

They’re 100% correct Hamas needs to be wiped out because Hamas wants Jews to not exist, but goddamn the ends to not justify the means.

They’ve lost the fucking plot.

Mark my words anti-Semitism is going to continue it’s crescendo and it’s 100% because of the IDF and that asshat running Israel.

I love being 46 and in relatively good health. I remember ATI and nothing aches (งツ)ว

Herein lies the rub where the discourse online always fails. It’s easy to blame the rich, corporations, politicians, etc. but the end of the day they’re simply doing what the masses want. We are the problem.

Now that said, I understand the appeal of blaming a smaller segment of the population because it’s easier to shift blame and it’s easier to force change that way, but rest assured Apple stops making a new phone every year their brand dies unless everyone stops doing it. They’re doing it because we are conditioned to want it.

We are the underlying problem. All of us.

Edit - having my point proven is amazing.

To further the thought experiment. I digitize my Blu-ray and put it on a private tracker to share with ONLY my friends. Is that piracy?

Copywrite laws are antiquated at best and need to be destroyed at worst.

If you need more proof look at bullshit like how Paramount+ until recently couldn’t show flagship shows like Picard in Canada because the rights were given to Crave.

So as a consumer I want to go to the owner of the property and I can’t watch it because the owner told me they gave a copy of it to someone else.

OS2/Warp

IBM showed us there could be a superior OS that wasn’t Windows or Mac. Been chasing that dragon ever since.

I’ve thought this for a while and mark my words this is where we are heading.

Online has it’s place but for all intents and purposes it is dying. The future is going to be local and physical.

I’m not worried for anyone let alone the artists. All AI art is showing is the importance of what is “real”. Sure I can ask Bing to create an image of Spider-Man in Toronto in the style of Todd McFarlane but it’s not a real image. People will start leaning back into actual ink on paper.

I see a future where The Internet continues to evolve but people move back into a world of the local and real interactions. A twitch stream is no replacement for a night at the pub. The pendulum is going to swing. I’d argue it has already started to swing.

They keep nerfing cis but I guess that’s ok cause it’s still OP af.

More like Kanye Eats

Also to add the Indian market is so saturated any “good one” you get knows their worth and dip out at the first opportunity. Leaves giant companies left holding the bag on a model that has skeleton crews containing all the tacit knowledge with no means to do anything. “Oh well just bring in vendors to do xyz” ignoring the operational cost going forward. The current business model employed by fortune 500 companies was and is unsustainable. Great for their bottom line though.
