Ya never know you’re in the good ol days till they’re over

I’m just gonna chalk this up to you not understanding my points literally at all and stop having this conversation. You are insufferable to talk to and outright refuse to see my point at all.

You’re giving the wrong reinforcement for the wrong reason. You’re afraid of what they may do in several years, so you’re negatively reinforcing the good decision they’re making right now. You should, instead, give them positive reinforcement for making good decisions so that they continue to make good decisions. What you’re currently doing is discouraging them from making public statements about their policy changes.

Okay, fine. I’ll do big words with you.

Let’s talk about the difference between Ethics and Morals. Ethics are what you individually follow, it’s your Ethos. Morals are what a society follows.

It may be morally correct to say that “people should be allowed to do as they please” while also ethically correct to say “you shouldn’t disrespect people’s wishes.”

You’re right, that it is moral for someone to imitate art. At least, in our culture. But that’s because most people follow the ethos that they can do and take as they please. I personally hold myself to a higher standard than that, and I hope you can do the same some day.

Edit to add: Fuck the golden rule. Follow the Platinum rule.

Bro you can still buy the switch 2 if you’ve never had the first one, I promise

What do you make of the use of email in the business world? You’re right that quite a bit of that has turned into instant messaging as well, ie I text my boss instead of sending them mail but it definitely feels like that’s going away a lot slower if not expanding

I’m curious, not bashing. What signs have you seen that lead you to believe email is dying?

Merteur? Martyr?

You really just wrote 4 paragraphs to say “I wanna make other people upset for my own personal gain at little to no benefit to the world at large”

Not sure when the last time you tried doing this is, but it’s pretty easy these days. KDE connect can pretty much handle most of the HTPC necessities. Alternatively, a debloated Onn box will do the trick quite easily

I’m suggesting that disrespecting an artists wishes causes them unnecessary struggles which in turn unnecessarily makes it more difficult for them to do their work.

Do you know what the word unfettered means?

Edit to add: Why are you arguing for disrespecting people’s wishes?

I didn’t say they needed respect to be creative. I said they needed respect to be creative unfettered.

So, to recap, your position is this:

Artists do not deserve the respect that would allow them to be creative unfettered. Gotcha.

Because humans suck?

I take it as flattery

I respect your position, and I appreciate people who are willing to share their creativity in an inspiring way like that.

However, others don’t see it as flattery. Particularly in eastern cultures, it is seen as mockery or plagiarism. You can choose to disagree about why they don’t want you to imitate their style, but you should always respect the request.

No. We’re acting as if their opinion always mattered just as much as it does now.

While your style is not, can not, and should not be your intellectual property, you should have the right to say “I don’t want you to imitate my exact style” and people should respect that.

Imitators have been doing that since always, long before LLMs

Fill me in a bit. Are you under the impression that artists are particularly okay with/enjoy people imitating their art style?

Those are the same buttons I saw.

The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a “no records” error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn’t think about people wanting to test that feature and didn’t bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.

The reports, however is where you’ve confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything

I fucking love this. I’ve been wanting to get into some slightly more professional looking development and being able to make some Lemmy plugins would be huge for me
