Can we shift the focus back onto class wars?
  • Generation wars are just like fighting over astrological signs.

    Damn Aries bought all the candy from the store leaving none for the rest of us.

    Assumes every country is like America. Assumes their laws are everyone's laws. Assumes their rights are everyone's rights.

    Doesn't bother to check. Doesn't look to see if anyone else is carrying a weapon to the beach.

  • Did you edit your comment so that mine doesn't make sense?

    That's skeevy.

  • You an I... We are either going to form an unstoppable super team or... You ate going to end up as my nemesis.

  • What's your superpower?
  • No, not at all. In fact I am pretty good at being able to stay awake for rather long periods of time. I can comfortably go 48 hours without sleep.

    If I could donate it I would happily do so.

  • In either case then your design is solid.

    Both give a really strong emotive vibe of writing and reader. Plus, they look classy and non-blog like.

  • It is. And in the Independent newspaper which has editors that should have spotted a clanger like that.

  • Logo feedback: what do you see?
  • Yeah, sure, but you can't assess readability without context.

  • You summon it by chanting and fire, right?
  • Good for you buddy.

    Edit: sorry that was harsh. I'm just dealing with "every comment is a contrarian comment" day.

    Sure, GPT is good at basic search functionality for obvious things, but why choose that when there are infinitely better and more reliable sources of information?

    There's a false sense of security couple to a notion of "asking" an entity.

    Why not engage in a community that can support answers? I've found the Linux community (in general) to be really supportive and asking questions is one way of becoming part of that community.

    The forums of the older internet were great at this... Creating community out of commonality. Plus, they were largely self correcting I'm a way in which LLMs are not.

    So not only are folk being fed gibberish, it is robbing them of the potential to connect with similar humans.

    And sure, it works for some cases, but they seem to be suboptimal, infrequent or very basic.

  • Now, that would be more interesting and accurate.

  • UK cinema issues Minecraft warning as police are called to ‘disruptive’ screenings
  • Yeah, it is a financial success, but so was the emoji movie... Not sure that qualifies it as "culturally renowned".

    Conflating those ideas that money equals cultural impact is what leads us to an endless cycle of sequels and reboots that most people watch once and then forget.

  • UK cinema issues Minecraft warning as police are called to ‘disruptive’ screenings
  • Classic independent reporting "the movie whose cultural impact is renowned".

    Is it? There's no proof that the movie is having a renowned cultural impact above any others and the link on their own site for that quote is talking, not about the movie, but Minecraft as a whole.

    I miss text-based tutorials

    When I use the internet to learn, I don't want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.

    I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.

    I'm old. Learning is hard enough.

    A day at the beach

    Hello, long time listener, first time caller...

    I just wanted to say hi. I'm very much interested in the grain, the unplanned and the documentary when it comes to analogue photography.

    This one was shot on fomapan 400 and an Optima 335 that I've had in my jacket pocket for a while.

    Lost at Sea - A Modernist Music Piece for Three Analogue Synths

    Long time listener, first time caller.

    My first post to Lemmy is a piece of modernist music I've made for three synthesizers.

    In this case, I used a Behringer Pro-1, an Uno Synth, and a Volca Keys.

    I'm very much interested in repetition and emergent rhythms. Feel free to share some of your own work if you think I'd be into it.
