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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Driver issue? That or DNS somehow.

Not op, but I use Ubuntu because I will need a job at some point and want to use something relatively marketable.

Snaps are annoying, I tried to use them once for something and then have basically ignored them. They aren’t hugely core as something in windows would be.

Definitely a brick of an operating system, boring as hell, but reliable and has been that way since ancient times.

I mean I meant bulletin board system, but I’m open to big beautiful Sweden.

No, but every system I’ve put together so far has been either ultra basic or specifically purchased for Linux compatibility.

Your system might need some variety of priest by the sound of it, though I’ve had my own set of weirdness, so I can’t judge. I just found out the reason native Linux games have been such pigs is because the integrated graphics nothing was supposed to use was being used.
