This is why I don't give two craps about artists who moan about AI art all the time. As this guy pointed out, a good artist can adapt and will always be able to provide something new that a bot can't.
If you're out here complaining, instead of drawing furry porn on a rock, you were never a good artist to begin with, and you probably belong in a factory job.

Didn't they have Hitler as person of the year once? I propose that Time was never sane.

I hate that people have gotten into the habit of ignoring led power usage just because an individual led uses little energy. Start adding up all the unneeded led lights on all the doodads and RGB in the world, and we could probably power a city or something. You know that led clock on your microwave oven that you never use? Yeah, apparently that clock uses a similar amount of energy over the day as heating up something for 30 seconds.

@LukeAlmighty I mean, the guy did go to university in his 40s and got a philosophy degree, so you know he ain't stupid. Haven't seen this video yet, but now you got me extra curious.

@mushroom_soup If a bunch of Minecraft references works for you, go for it. Cause from every review I've seen, that's basically the selling point of the movie. Jason Momoa was supposedly ok too, and Jack Black is just Jack Black.

@maxmustermann
Huh... I never thought about it like this regarding antisemitism, although I managed to make the exact same observation about feminists and The Patriarchy (TM) a decade ago.
Yeah, a weird form of religion, that technically only has a negative god, or in other words a Satan analogue.

@mushroom_soup Stroke? At 35? I think he needs to get a treadmill first and foremost.

@mushroom_soup Maybe if you're an avid fan of the game. But if you were one, you probably would have already went to see it.

@maxmustermann
I'm laughing my ass off.

@mushroom_soup God dammit... I hate things like this, cause it messes with my brain, and for a couple of seconds I completely forget how to correctly spell "hired".

Weirdly enough, there is a small segment of people that do some kind of small work on the go, for whom something like this works great, because they basically need a tablet sized thing every once in a while to view/edit a document. Not complicated work, just slight edits while on the field. Like adding a row in a spreadsheet. Menial stuff. So why carry 2 devices around, when you can have 1.

@icedquinn @coolboymew
>are we just doing this because we can?
A bit because of this, for sure.

I've watched a few teardown videos every now and then, and it seems they've improved a bit over the years. First models had terrible hinges, that got dirt trapped in them and broke them. Now apparently that's a solved issue.
They've even managed to make it hard to fold them the wrong way around.

There's definitely a lot of complexity involved, including some kind of weird ultra-thin glass that is flexible enough to fold, but also protects the screen from scratches from dust in your pockets (cause if you try to actually scratch the folding screen with something serious... yeah... zero protection).

But considering everything, it is an interesting achievement. And while the need is niche, as long as someone finds use out of it, and the companies are making their money back, who am I to complain.

@coolboymew For some people the price is not an issue.

@icedquinn Nah, no need. Jews are cool here. We even have a local, native, Muslim population that is cool. Apparently the local imam basically recommended authorities that we don't take in "Syrian" refugees, because those Muslims would be too extremist to integrate with the local Muslims.

@icedquinn
We're a bit too busy being corrupt morons to have time to get liberty that badly wrong. Sure, we forbade 2 people from running for president, but we don't send the police to people's homes for calling politicians fat (Germany) or for saying mean things about immigrants (UK), so I don't think we're all that bad. Though I don't recommend blatant antisemitism when the country is in the middle of a moral panic over a politician who might have spicy views regarding dead Romanian fascists.

@icedquinn I mean.. here they're replacing the woman candidate for a guy... so idk...
Everything is so fucking weird... I've lost count of how many washed-out politicians, that have been away from public attention for years or even close to a decade, suddenly came back for this election redo and are running. One of them is being supported by an impossible alliance of a right-wing and a left-wing party that normally hate each other's guts.
All of it somehow because one nobody politician that expressed EU and NATO criticism got an insane number of votes.
As Barney Stinson once said in Starship Troopers: "it's afraid".

Somehow, America's chaos seems to make more sense to me than what is happening in my country.
The more of these nonsensical machinations I see, the more I feel inclined to vote for the current supposedly anti-EU guy (George Simion), because everyone else seems to be driven by something well beyond any regular political ideology.

And I'm convinced that Simion is less capable as a politician than Trump is. (if you want a taste of him, he somehow scored a short interview with Gad Saad, but be warned, he left out A LOT of context to make his side look good).

@icedquinn @pwm
Learn German instead. Read Voltaire in German. Why? dunno... I'm sure it will piss off some purist somewhere.

@coolboymew I'd guess: 90% of the time use it as phone, 10% use it as a tablet. When they need to read some pdf or something, flip it open. Maybe even watch a movie while on a plane, or something. Just random small things from time to time.

@zero Hollywood can survive without China money. Apparently they get only like 25% of ticket money from over there anyway.
What they can't survive is not being able to pander to communist censorship demands. They're addicted to it. They NEED to suck Pooh's red dick.

@icedquinn Also... why the F did you read all that? I swear.... something is deeply wrong with the average fedi user.
