What I take away from these testimonies is that, again, the people in charge show that they have little understanding of and zero respect for the skills and craft of creatives — and in this case also programmers. We always knew that, but it is next level offensiveness to demand that skilled professionals use a subpar technology to "generate" ideas, designs and code.

The art director who forgets all his learned process of idea development and instead just prompts Midjourney until he sees something he likes (but which his staff will have to backward engineer to make sense of) is a terrifying image of things to come. Fortunately I'm long out of the corporate creative treadmill.

[Edited to spell "Midjourney" as one word. This is my organic human accreditation 😄]

I genuinely thought you were looking for Australian imports advice 😂

Hope you find a pant solution that works for you!

There truly is no ~~spoon~~ wrong thread 😂

Does anything scream "summer!" louder than this vinyl? Not in my book.

Cool, I guess. I don't really get the fascination with pitching Godzilla against Kong over and over again, when "King of the monsters" established so many more kaiju — sorry, "titans" — to choose from.

Or maybe, hear me out now: Just one good Hollywood Godzilla movie without the focus being Big G fighting as many monsters as possible? "Godzilla minus one" worked fine, it doesn't need to be a bleeping tournament each time.

Lemmy won't be tumblr, it will just federate with it 🙂 So I guess c/curatedtumblr will work even smoother when it becomes possible to just cross post over ActivityPub.

So, on the plus side that means they'll be on the Fediverse soon.

On the negative, by now I fully expect Matt Mullenweg to flip out over some perceived slight or rivalry and ruin Tumblr for everybody 🤷

That's a very pretty picture disc!

You could be right about the Slitheen, but why not just name check his own creations then? I'm mostly curious to see now if there are actually going to be aliens called Boom Beasts in the new season 😄

As for Ellams, I think he's a genuinely interesting addition for his background in poetry as well as theatre. It doesn't hurt that he has the Nigerian mythology framework to draw from, and I think that's going to be thrilling to explore in a Who setting — but having an award winning playwright and poet writing for the show is perhaps the most left field thing I've seen in a good while.

Why the f— would an employee be invested in the corporation "winning"? Unless he sees LinkedIn as a co-op and actively works on distributing profits equally to all member workers, that there is just management drivel.

we're trying to make a federated bittorrent tracker, in the short term as an emergency information preservation vessel to avoid a fascist memoryhole, in the long term as a merger between the lessons of the federated and pirate web:

• web: https://sciop.net/
• code: https://codeberg.org/Safeguarding/sciop
• in re: @[email protected] : https://safeguar.de/
• Safeguarding forum: https://forum.safeguar.de/

Dunno about you all, but I think "the lessons of the federated and pirate web" sounds intriguing at least.
