Surely we can find welfare policies to cut. I mean, do your kids REALLY need to eat EVERY day? /s

Edit: Why’d you delete…? That was a valid question.

Well yes. But the person I responded to implied they’d be in favour of taxing the rich even if the money wasn’t needed elsewhere - in this hypothetical, utopian case I wouldn’t give a shit about their taxes. (Again, I know they were being facetious, I’m just mad at this woman right now and don’t want to see the humour in it)

I get the joke but seriously, I couldn’t care less how much money they hoard if it wasn’t desperately needed elsewhere. Taxing the rich is neither for shits and giggles nor for the sake of it.

Edit: man, I wish I’d learn to keep my stupid mouth shut instead of always inadvertently provoking misunderstandings.

Blablabla I don’t care about her life story, wtf does she mean “for the sake of it”? Nobody wants to raise taxes for shits and giggles!

This post can’t stop me because I can’t read.

Same. I was on reddit for 10 years, wasn’t banned once (and it’s not like I never posted anything or didn’t antagonise people). The enshittification is what made me leave.

They’re explicitly not saying that.

This IS syncthing-fork.

What no don’t 😱

I haven’t seen that type of response, at least not at any significant frequency, but let me speculate wildly while accepting your premise for the moment.

People in general are less mentally resilient than they were 6-10 years ago, what with The Everything And All That In The Everywhere At All Times. That might manifest in less patience and less willingness to indulge beginners. So I don’t think it’s a conscious thing meant to gatekeep anything, people just don’t have the capacities to explain things again and again in detail (especially when they think the answer is easily found using the search engine of your choice) and are more easily exasperated if things don’t go smoothly.

Again, this is all assuming your premise.

Two things I noticed:

At least on mobile, I think selecting a set is difficult. That’s because you get this huuuuge list of words/kanji with all the info displayed. It might be more user-friendly to reduce the size of the characters in the list and probably also remove all the extra information like readings and meaning.

Also, the button for preferences keeps bouncing, like it’s yelling at me “click on me, i have new information for you! important! click!”

Hey, what’s Boris’ role these days? Why’s he still relevant and allowed to say stuff about things?

Tragically, Bush was #43, that’s why it doesn’t really work.

I cannot express how much I hate the triangles. I shouldn’t because they’re about the only genuine thing about it but they’re also a symptom of the larger issue and I just can’t even with all this.

Yes it is AI. Parallel lines are not an indication for non-AI. Just look at the teeth that were added in by hand because they couldn’t get the AI to do it. Fingers are still wonky. There were probably meant to be 5 blue data streams, one from each of the 5 people down to the 5 companies instead of two and two partial streams (?) but again, they couldn’t get the AI to do that. But this is close enough to what they actually wanted so they said it’s fine, thereby letting the AI compromise their message. Brilliant.

You say it’s “very accurate” - no it’s not. You think it’s accurate because, as a member of modern global culture, you recognise the concepts it threw together so you’re able to extrapolate what it is TRYING to say. The concept is valid but it’s so poorly executed that at any closer look it falls apart. Which is always the case with AI: it’s close enough to what it wants to be, close enough to express existing concepts so that everybody gets the gist of it if they squint (or scroll just slightly too fast). Don’t let them get away with it, it’s the death of critical thinking and creativity.

What is happening here? Google and Apple go hungry? Amazon is dead? What’s with the glowy person in the background? This is confuddling because as usual whoever told an AI to generate this either didn’t check the result or said ‘eh good enough’ and I don’t know which is worse.

This is not how you effectively convey your message.

Edit: wait, I take it all back, the most important part is that the bunker exit is clearly marked, this is art and good.

Edit2: also, that guy on the left seems to have figured out how to protect his stream of blue mouth light. Would he be available for a tutorial?

Again with the overpromising.

When your god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and also can easily be manipulated by puny human technology into doing your bidding.

I do wear glasses and I came here to post exactly your first sentence. There probably is a difference, sure, but I personally can’t see it unless I put both files next to each other and really try to see it.

I’ve been digitising our movie collection so I played around with resolutions to minimise the storage space needed - I did settle on doing everything in 1080p but mostly because it feels weird to use a resolution the internet tells me is bad and I’m vulnerable to peer pressure (voice in the back of my head “oooh but what if anyone ever looks at those files?? What’ll they think???” type nonsense).

I also had a few files that came in much higher resolution that I re-encoded to fractions of their file sizes and honestly same effect.
