  Anyways that’s why I’m a dog

  Not really true at all in Canada. Once again this is just the side effects of weed being illegal being mistaken for the fault of the substance when it’s not.

  Shitty Samsung Tab A8, it’s a random XDA developers AOSP ROM that I’ve removed Google garbage from. I don’t like the Samsung skin, it’s slow and has a ton of bloatware. Because I don’t need push notifs on it, there are no gapps replacements installed on it either. So I just use all F-Droid apps since I just browse the internet, read books, and read manga with it. Newpipe for YouTube.

  This has to do with all the services running in the background. Modern phones are actually extremely efficient, providing you’re not connected to push notification services and don’t have apps running in the background all the time.

  Problem is that Google and Apple loooove user data and so it’s very hard to do this, impossible in the case of iOS. I have a fully google-less tablet and that things lasts many days on 1 charge.

  I think it’s a stretch and I don’t appreciate being painted as a racist.

  They just threw racist on there, it’s not referenced in the text whatsoever.

  I’m inclined to believe that it’s not just “not respecting the proportions” but rather manufacturers putting a fake logo to create the appearance of safety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because most people don’t engage with art critically. See Marvel movies. Maybe others are fine with remixed slop but I am not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m talking inside the context of capitalism. Yes it would be nice if we had a UBI to support people but we don’t. I agree that art is fundamentally human.

  Outside of the context of capitalism I’m not sure AI art would be found very useful at all because its main point at the moment is remixing the same shit everyone’s seen before for profit. To make mass produced lowest-common-denominator slop.

  CONSOOM THE SLOP. I LOVE SLOP SO YOU MUST TOO

  It’s so impossible in fact that the CIA spends millions destabilizing countries that are even threatening to become socialist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand why people engage with art in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the things it’s good at have been developed by stealing GPL/copyleft code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI doesn’t threaten art as a medium. It threatens art as a job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would have natural rights, yes. Watch Star Trek TNG’s “The Measure of a Man” which tackles this issue exactly. Does the AI of current days have intelligence or sentience? I don’t believe so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the arts & humanities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is 100% correct. It can overlap but honestly as someone going into embedded systems I despise tech bros.

  Canada’s gov website is still like this. The website has open hours. Try doing anything taxes related late at night.
