I’m pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren’t as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

A surprisingly high number of leftists still use it as well.

My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.

I’m sure you’ve heard this but just to reiterate, I’m super excited for this and I’m proud of you

Like I care. Amazon bought it, they have a monopoly, hey maybe these consumer facing startups would be more profitable if all the money wasnt already distributed so unevenly?

Awesome! I’ll be checking it out, I love live streams and hate Twitch, got burnt out of the platform after watching for ~8 years.

She’s absolutely stunning. Beautiful cat.

I have learned absolutely nothing about the strengths and weaknesses of each distro, just learned which ones are difficult to install.

I find mastodon boring and I just think people who wanna use defederated twitter are different and more common than people who wanna use defederated reddit. Peertube though, now that is a compelling argument.

I have never even heard of giclee printing.

Normalize arresting female predators 👏

Old school internet 😆 tumblr is a modern social media platform, the only difference being you can type as many words as you want.

In hindsight this sounds like a good idea, but certainly no one used this junk.

We will perhaps never beat adobe but nowadays there are some amazing tools!

… Which are developed for windows as well. Haha.

Second but I use Nobara with KDE.

Linux is the modern OS and windows is just a bunch of old shitty technology in a trench suit.

Power to ya and I know I wish I had a place like this when I was a teen. I hope this place is a very very safe place, with thorough and trustworthy moderators. Knowing Blahaj.zone, I think it will be.

You mean Hamas. Hamas fucked themselves up. And Israel killing anybody but Hamas is a travesty. Yet they do it so often that all of the focus is on what Israel ia doing wrong rather than Hamas.

All I know about Bluesky is what’s in the name. When you look at the Fediverse tree, every branch, leaves, and roots are labelled. But the sky isnt. Bluesky. I believe the intent is to be bigger and far more important than the Fediverse, smother it rather than let it grow. Jack is a businessman, after all. He really liked having a hugely important platform in Twitter and how much political power it was beginning to have.

I try my best, but this is not a level I’ve achieved yet.
