That's not an unfair portrayal in the southern US.

Fuck the music industry, but fuck AI made music even more. The goddamn robot is supposed to take my factory job and leave me with the time to write songs not the other way around

With all of the tools you described the entire creative process is still done by a human musician. Sequencers have to be programmed. VSTs are just instruments and they DAWs have simply replaced expensive studio equipment so poors like me can produce a decent sounding track.

I don't want to see generated images or AI coded video games either.

Beethoven would have loved DAWs and synthesizers. He would have vomited at the thought of a machine plying HIS trade autonomously.

No, you see the joke is that teachers aren't people.

The fact is, with the world we live in being like it is, why the fuck not smoke? For the chance to live a little further into the distopian hellscape of our impending future? Some reward that is for denying myself something I enjoy.

It's a circle. One color.

Eh, I keep a Windows 10 machine because Linux won't run Reason even in wine. Everything else gets done on my laptop running Mint. Adobe does things that aren't easily replaced. No point in shaming folks for the tools they use.

This I can get behind.

How does one not believe in free will? Asking seriously.

I'd be surprised if the Tesla would even let you run on 10 psi. I bet it'd throw an error message and brick the accelerator.

That's an interesting take. Strikes me as a bit nihilistic, but I'm sure this is the most surface of explanations lacking the depth of concept to really get the idea across. I can't say it jives with me, but I have heard less reasonable notions.

I'll give him a listen. I enjoy hearing different points of view.

That's 121.8 freedom units for my fellow Americans who don't think that sounds all that bad. Oh well. We're breaking records, that's good right‽ We really are frogs in a pot.

Ma Bell by another name. We used to have anti-monopoly laws in this country.

Whenever I see FOSS offered as a solution I have to wonder if that person is paying for their own food, shelter, transportation and what have you, or if they are still living with their parents and not making any attempt to support themselves.

Nothing is free. There is a cost incurred at some point. The minimum cost is time, a finite commodity for all living beings, and effort, but other things require materials, which cost someone some time and effort to find, extract, or otherwise produce.

I certainly don't say any of this in defense of capitalism, but "free" is a nonsense concept in human life. It simply doesn't exist.

Doing something because you want to is vastly different from expecting everything to be free.

I have a Cowboy Bebop shirt. I have not watched Cowboy Bebop. The shirt was on sale and I needed an emergency shirt. I wear my Cowboy Bebop shirt without shame or remorse.

Pat_Riot , 3 months ago

I actually just haven't gotten to it. I make very little time for TV.

Pat_Riot , 3 months ago

That certainly improves it's chances of my watching it. I have no patience for long serials.

Some of us are pretty damn far left. ACAB and 2A go together like hand and glove. Armed minorities, be they POC or queer are harder to push around and abuse, both for cops and bigots who think they are vigilante superheroes. Fascism needs its populace disarmed as well. I'd love to live in a world where I was safe unarmed, but I have drawn in self defense against both man and beast. Arm up, comrades, and train. Know the rules and your rights.

I'm not quite certain how I should take that. I'm just me, living my set of experiences, and forming my opinions accordingly.

Beginner here, what is so bad about Ubuntu? I put it on a laptop this weekend and was running and installing software faster than any Windows install I have ever done. Firefox runs fine, the Mozilla email program hooked right up with my ancient Yahoo account. Blender runs like a scalded dog. Cura and prusa run good enough. I'm arguing with Muse and Ardour a bit but expected that. Spotify runs. I'm having a good first experience. So why the hate?

I live in the country and shop for two weeks. OP can eat a dick. Unless they are into that, then they can eat something they don't like.

Too many holes. Just kidding. I have no idea what that is. I saw the post scrolling and couldn't resist.
