  Go on the date, have fun, spend dad’s money. When he asks, tell him it was great and she spent all night pegging you in the arse and her side dude joined in. Then ask him for more money so you can do drugs together.

  The YouTube app on my old tablet has been breaking on ads recently. First it stopped playing and then it wouldn’t even resume. Their own app. On playing ads. No ad blockers. Fuck you I’m not paying premium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Outsider art implies the existence of insider art⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the term “outsider art” refers to people disconnected from the art scene, artistic education or art circuits. People that produce output that may be considered artistic but often for other reasons than to produce art, like channeling and manifesting mental or emotional turmoil or trauma. This is also why it is problematic to display works by “outside artists” in art contexts because they are not necessarily produced to be seen, analysed out judged by anybody.

  So yes, “insider art” is really all art and crafts that work within a tradition, any sort of context, by people that are aware of their activities as artists, regardless they are professionals or hobbyists.

  I’m not sure what you’re going for here or if it is just a playful game with words.

  It’s the other way around. Apple gave Trump a golden statue so he can kill off all their competitors. They no longer have to compete with their branding or products. It’s not smart, it’s just lazy, greedy and against any shred of decency. It’s not even capitalism, it’s plain corruption and proudly doing it in the open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gamers can be the most entitled demanding assholes. Arch users can be the most annoying arrogant and conceited people to exist online.

  I wouldn’t dare imagine dealing with the unholy mix of arch gamers min-maxing social skills for inferiority complex.

  I’d rather drop support too.

  Thanks! Do you know if it possible to run Qobuz headless or in a docker container or some of the sort? I did some searching but couldn’t find anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on Tidal for some time but noticed that Qobuz has released a connect service that seems to work like Sp*tify Connect so that you can remote control one instance from another. Like, playing music on computer connected to amp can be controlled through the phone.

  I’d appreciate if somebody using Qobuz could confirm?

  This breed of trans humanists are simple garbage because they are not about trans humanism - they are about staying oligarchs forever.

  Let them upload themselves into an iridium and unobtainum machine with nuclear fusion batteries and then we drop it into the Mariana Trench and let them watch the spectacle from inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's what a Brazilian restaurant owner did after city hall banned sidewalk patio tables⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk about that case, but here all sidewalk patio tables are banned unless you get a permit, and that permit decides if there is room for pedestrians to pass the tables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's what a Brazilian restaurant owner did after city hall banned sidewalk patio tables⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not stupid if it blocks pedestrians from using the sidewalk. I mean, imagine putting them tables all across the road for cars… I think this is a creative and good solution for everybody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not here in Sweden. We have warnings and drought in several areas of the country because there has been less sky water than usual.

  There are terrible people everywhere and in particular everywhere online.

  This is why I would never be bothered moderating and I am reluctant to release anything to the public of what I do for my own enjoyment. Cheers to moderators and people that post their art and comics and other stuff online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesseract is shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, this is exactly what you are doing. You have wandered into the fediverse that welcomes everybody and you are upset that not everybody agrees with you on everything and that justifies you being a dick. You are exactly the thing you are hating on in your head canon self righteous hero narrative.

  Take this moment to reflect on your first instinctual mental response. Is it “but that’s because I’m right”? Think about this and what it implies.

  Shocker, isn’t it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thinking it’s like ads. Some people see them, read them, click the links. Others recognize by glance and filter them out without bothering to process.

  Social media, and internet in general, has always been a wild mix of top notch content and bottom of the barrel garbage sharing screen estate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think LLMs and generative AIs are a really interesting technology with many potential applications in the future and even today.

  But it is ridiculous how tech bros and marketing are pushing and overselling the capabilities of a technology that is yet in its early childhood. Infancy is already past as it knows basic motor functions.

  And it is m funny when these companies publish their ambitious attempts and hilarious failures like this article right here. It reminds me of a more funny and diverse and geeky internet when nerds got money from investors to do whatever with a domain name. Maybe it is still there, behind the wall of marketing execs.

  Here in Sweden too but my biological chip reading abilities are somewhat lacking.

  Coin toss:

  1. Heads or tails are 50/50 probability.
  2. It is possible that the coin lands on its side.
  3. It is implausible that it splits in two.

  A civilization on a planet without a moon would probably say the same about earth. I wonder how they would imagine life on our planet to be in comparison to their sad, stable moon-less lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I save an entire website?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are comfortable with command line and want to learn the Swiss army knife of such uses for future scripting and whatnot - curl.

  I’m on the fly right now but search for “curl crawl web pages” and you’ll find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Session musicians are technical instrumentalists that excel at being able to play in many different styles as requested by the producer without letting their ego get in the way.

  I don’t care much for pop music, but with age I’ve reconsidered my youthful music snobbery antagonism for pop music being “unauthentic” to instead think that they excel at being entertainers with a mass appeal and that it is not necessarily a bad thing either. Not everybody has interest in seeking out auteurs. Who am I to judge how other people bring happiness into their lives.

  And I’ve realised that a lot of bands that are considered “authentic” are the day job for the band members and is that one project of many that worked out well enough to be a career.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Regardless of opinions, this article opinion piece is written like by an angry teenage nerd.

  I don’t understand what these angry anti FF people want that keep on having weekly rants on the topic. You are free to not use the software if you don’t like it or the company or whatever. Just move on and be happy.

  I’m getting tired of these haters any time Mozilla does literally anything and there is not a single constructive idea ever but the demand that Mozilla must operate like a benefactor for nerds that do not have to pay for anything ever.

  Damn, I almost wish Mozilla went commercial with FF to fund the development of it just because.
