I grew up in the Midwest as a child of a Mexican and American. By 16, I was regurgitating Ben Shapiro anti-immigration rhetoric. Why?
The same reason anyone is racist. I grew up around it. The people I knew and loved were white and that was reflected in the media I was exposed to. Subliminal messages and implied suggestions over entire childhood. They might claim they don’t like the illegal, but the truth is that they’ve internalized the hatred of the culture they identify with.
Literally 4chan was celebrating the plane crash
This conflict has been around for decades. The only difference is that the right would be harassing Mr. Rogers for being woke.
Not necessarily. Look at things like America’s got talent. You sell your act to get world wide recognition. You can only become valuable by promising that value to a corporation with means to market your talent.
I feel like music is becoming corrupt. A tool to pander, an advert, measured by the ability to reach the largest audience. It’s supposed to be about sending a message, but it feels like we’re being sold one.
The internet exists and now more than ever people have the tools and resources to create, so it’s wild that only big brands have such an iron monopoly on creativity. It’s super disappointing.
I’m no mechanic, so anytime I work with a drill, it’s to unscrew someone’s pervious work. I just jam the plus shaped head into the plus shaped hole and pray, just as the lord intended.
You could take everything from me and I wouldn’t start carpet bombing children. Fuck Isreal.
If AI wasn’t shitty and if it didn’t train of stolen work, would it still be as hated? I think it has potential as a tool to elevate the works of talented individuals.
I think there’s merit to old fashioned creations, but I’m not going to discredit a work for using a spell checker or an digital spray brush. The truth is that tools are shortcuts for bringing thoughts or ideas into reality.
I think we have a lot of bad faith arguments on this front. Let’s compare to the conservative. I remember a clip where conservatives were presented with an image of a fetus. When asked if it was living human being, the responded yes absolutely, only to be told it was a pig fetus or some other animal. You also see it with transvestigations. There is an irrational kneejerk response to something they don’t like. For the anti-ai people, you get a similar response about how AI looks bad.
The reason I have a problem with judging AI for looking like shit is that it won’t always be like that. We need to focus on the fact that even if it did look good, it’s work stolen from others, replacing them, and not compensating them. I’m afraid that some of the users may have responded poorly, and that there might have been more here to discuss before caving to mass internet rage.
“Lou…Louise…”

That’s good to know. Hoping someone can figure it out. There’s someone who got the m.2 working supposedly. Might see if I can tinker with it.

Prism is the best
Just started the switch to fedora. It’s actually really good. I played minecraft with my spouse and after turning off mouse acceleration, it felt great. My favorite games are all on steam. Only things that are rough is professional software. Also, my $250 elgato capture card doesn’t support Linux. Windows is definitely going to need to stick around for me.
It’s beautiful 😍
I feel really uncomfortable in the online maker space at times. It’s filled with crypto bros and zionists. One of the most downloaded prints one week was one of Trump assassination attempt. Can’t tell if it’s to grift or keep. Unnerving community.
It’s easier to print bullshit than to learn cad. I’m learning to model by printing gridfinity organizers. It’s easy and practical. I waste less time searching for junk and waste more time modeling the bins. 👍
I can’t stay productive with 20 tabs or applications open. I waste time searching. I feel drained if I’m working on a tough job and need something that is hidden. Maybe it’s on another desktop. Maybe it’s open in another instance. Maybe it’s not even open. Not for me.
Just don’t strip anything. I had to drill my shell when my joystick started to drift.
“Um actually 🤓 the only logical response is to deprive the child of life saving medical attention or their mother.”
There isn’t room for good faith argument here. I’m done.
Time is finite. Maybe I’ll hit cognitive decline sooner. How many seconds, minutes, hours do I save? Will it offset?
