I’m offended at their manipulation of album art. They’re trampling my sacred beliefs of preservation of original work! I guess what I find sacred didn’t matter so much as some gross peoples’ fetishes.
A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways....
Homicides went up in 2020 and 2021 and are now rapidly coming back down. Violent crime nationwide hasn't increased. But the perception of a crime wave still colors U.S. politics.
The worst thing for me is to feel like I’m insane because of my feeling about a thing not aligning with how it should with regards to my understanding of things. That right there is what would make me feel unsafe in my own hands.
Imagine you cut yourself and it feels like a goddamn orgasm. Do you do it again? That’s not the question. The question is what else is backwards in my brain and how can I ever feel safe?
How do I know if someone else is ripping me off of I can’t measure value? How can I know what conditions are comfortable if my feeling is off?
Choice theory is pretty important to me. I’m currently being ripped off by my employer and employers everywhere are all doing the same thing because people in my category are mollified. We’re not doing anything about it because it’s easier to let someone else take the fall individually. We should have some kind of inherent feeling to help us all gauge what’s fair to react to and what shouldn’t be. Do you let the thing slide and suffer for it, or do you fight back and suffer for it? The suffering imposed in both situations is certainly being measured by those who are controlling us financially.
You’ve been reading too much self help nonsense and not experiencing enough drugs to make any assertions about how drugs work. You’re so far wrong and oversimplified that I can’t even bother reaching so far down to give you a platform of understanding.
Yeah I’m not really recommending it. I’m just trying to say that guy has the wrong idea and is gonna be pretty shocked when he realizes what ride he’s getting on.
Feel free to come up with an accurate description of the complexities of drug interactions to a “haha uppers and downers” person yourself. It’s gonna be like explaining color to a dog.
I don’t want people to suffer even if they decided to. There’s this stupid loophole where people are convicted of crimes they didn’t do because the government is theatre.
All around, people should maintain their own propriety.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
You’re either brainwashed by people who wanna incorporate you into their money cycle, or just plain don’t understand how the Internet actually functions. Nobody needs YouTube in the middle and nobody should make the decision to be at the mercy of a commander of the sheep army. You all appoint YouTube as your overlord when that big crowd gets you all thirsty.
Who cares about their effort? I put in effort to get my cross hair over dude’s heads in videogames and I don’t expect a dollar for it. I expect dollars for being part of making Ford truck transmissions. If you all weren’t expecting your hobby to pay you, the rest of us might actually have some time and resources to be doing that shit for fun that you all expect to be paid for.
If your audience is paying you via sponsor or patreon enough for you to do the work, what’s unfeasible about paying for hosting? Patreon does plenty good for handling subscriptions and the view model is easily taken care of by Grayjay. odysee.com/…/the-best-way-to-watch-online-video-m…
