That’s kind of how I feel lately. I’ve always tried to act well, be kind, etc, but sometimes all I feel like is I’ve exhausted myself for no reason. Society is too big to see the consequences of your actions I think.

Yep, that was exactly the reason.

I’m on the other side of the planet and I wanted Bernie.

There’s a problem in movies that I keep thinking about in relation to this.

Movies often use music from other movies in early cuts to get something rough together. They time the scenes around the music, they work with it for ages, and finally it’s time to make an original track to replace the rough copy.

But they have to use something that’s the same tempo, because of how the scenes were timed around the old music. And it has to fit in the same vibe, because that’s what the old music felt like.

So you end up with a piece of music that’s usually pretty close to the temporary music, and a lot of Hollywood osts sound almost identical as a result. When I see people talk about using gen ai for placeholders and concept art, I see that same problem turning up.

I keep it installed as a reminder of what was taken, that and animelab.

Absolutely. America is hugely reliant on the world economy, I just hope people commit to that and don’t just go with whatever America is saying.

They might do a good enough job to not make it worth taking, though it’s a bit of a hard thing to judge when the invading force isn’t using logic

God that sounds nice actually, I miss it terribly

I’m having a hard time describing what this is, because it legitimately feels like piracy. Like privateers are after my barley and cane sugar.

I mean someone definitely tried, almost got the dude too

The way they’re going I don’t think they even care about windows numbers

Oh yeah that could totally be it actually, maybe like snakeskin shoes or something as well.

Oh absolutely, the strategy has always been to secure the market, make it difficult to leave the service, and jack up the profit. The only thing we can do is recognise it happening and work to make alternatives available, work on our own skillsets instead of relying on their tools.

Which is a shame, but the mask is off as of late, and we can’t do much about that.

Odd, I’ve been having issues with practically everything, but not consistently. Just some images don’t load.

Every time I look at this image it gets more absurd. That’s a lot of flying birds, but he could have been a hunter. Maybe he hit that snake and tortoise with a car.

That’s a fucking elephant in the back there though, which does have connotations to it.

I believe they get weird about local accounts on recent versions of 11, even ones that already existed. I’m not going to verify, but yeah I think the point is they’re moving towards them basically not existing.

That’s interesting, I’ve not had any issues like that with Wayland on a similar setup. Might be drivers? Or potentially whatever desktop environment you’re using.

If you don’t want it to be slop, don’t grind culture into a slurry, run half the worlds electricity through it, all for it to generate child porn. Actually fuck off.

Driver issue? That or DNS somehow.
