A long time ago someone was arguing that you only do what you do if it brings in the money to support yourself. I told her that most artists regardless of their career can not support themselves solely on making art. She maintained her position.

I know she's had a very successful career and she loves what she is doing. I wish everybody could support themselves on what they love doing. Or find something to support themselves that they love doing.

No, but you are attempting to critique it as if it was.

Being transgender is not an ideology, dude.

Ask mum if she'd prefer to drown or survive but you drown while saving her.

Have you considered asking your room mate?

"Sub optimal".

Ok dude.

Yeah, except ambulance personnel are primarily trained to take care of wounds and injuries and not physically violent individuals. That's where police come in.

Mental hospitals don't have people on hold can leave on zero notice and drive across town with light and sirens. The police are out there all over and are supposedly trained to deal with all kinds of situations that do not need escalation and shooting people in the face. At least in the world outside of USA.

Check out the Finnish brands Hurtta or Rukka. Great quality dogwear and Finland has harsh cold winters.

It feels counter productive when everyone relies on ffmpeg and there are no proprietary secrets left to protect. Just agree on an open standard that saves time and effort for all companies using it while getting tons of goodwill and positive cosmic vibes and maybe even revenue.

I was thinking just the other day that 4chan is obsolete because people took the worst of it and made it mainstream while forgetting the golden rule of not taking anything seriously.

Sweden is not. Our tax office decided only this year to migrate everything to the Office 365 cloud despite Microsoft admitting that they'd turn over any data to the US government should they be asked to. I think the EU should step in on this.

Overriding browser functionality because of designer preferences or shitty implementation of tracking or whatever.

Don't fuck with my scrolling.

Don't fuck with my ctrl clicking to open links in a new tab.

Don't capture window keyboard events unless you have a really excellent reason to and even then think about it really hard and decide not to.

And learn how to support basic keyboard navigation, damn it. It's just about marking up your html properly, no scripting required.

I think all of these opinions are popular on the user side.

Not if you are rich enough you don't. Most people still do because everybody needs something worthwhile. But you don't strictly need to work when you have reached some arbitrary level of wealth and ownership.

The only way to make money without work is to be part of the owner class that lets others do all the work.

Nice try, Haworthiopsis Attenuata. I know your backstabbing lies.

Speaking of games, you just lost it.

I was planning on doing nothing and chilling at home with the dog but now some friends are having a potluck so I should meander over there with the dog.

Tidal, though I've quit payments so when this month runs out I'll switch to try out Qobuz. Before that I was on Spotify since it was invite-only until a few years ago when I had enough of the CEO Daniel Ek complete disrespect for artists that make him a billionaire. Before that I was sailing the seas for many years. Before that I bought CDs. Before that I bought LPs.
