  Is it though? Nearly 10 years ago they were going to sell them in retail for 200$, now it is 225$, and its going to be so much better. My time steel lasted for so many years… And it was wonderful, I miss it so much. After the battery started to get too weak I started the search for an alternative, there’s so little offering what pebble offers. Ended up with a Garmin, which is… OK, but the price makes me nearly consider it not worth it, around two years ago it cost me 350€, and it was the cheapest version. It’s probably great for super sporty people, but I just want a basic watch that helps me get notified and check a bunch of things.

  In my opinion what pebble offers is incredibly good for the price, specially compared with what there is in the market currently.

  I love the changes they have done. I loved the pebble time steel, and personally the design of pebble time 2 was not my thing and I was devastated that pebble time 2 was dropped. This new design manages to marry the pebble time 2 and the pebble time steel incredibly well. And the color options seem really great actually… It’s going to be difficult to choose.

  And furthermore, it is a relief to have again the metal buttons. I’m going to have to dig out the time steel to see if I can use it to test the new version to see if I can get back to developing some watchfaces.

  No, I haven’t tried it, I might be good at it indeed, I might be amazing, or hell, I might give the best blowjobs in the world. I will leave it at the possibility of being the best cock sucker before I discover I am mediocre at it, I guess I cannot try it then.

  I mean… Technically the question is about being pretty. I can think of girls being pretty without actually thinking sexually of them. The same way I can think of some guys being handsome and I don’t suck dick.

  Nah, it’s greed that will do that. Apathy is just a symptom for people that feel like they can’t do anything against the greediest bastards. And it’s also pushed as a control system to be able to get even more by those.

  When being from the lgbtq community means that you are persecuted, punished and your life is threatened, doesn’t it mean it is political? why do you say it is not political? Or is that about fighting for survival? Is fighting for survival political? Does it even matter? You don’t specify it in your comment, are you supporting the other comments that because it is political companies should stay away from it?

  When laws and states and governments try to push too far to limit things such as gender identities the lives of many become political as they are threatened by the laws, states, and governments. And yet, the rights and survival of people in peace is not truly political. That’s just the excuse used to try and censor the discussion of such topics.

  Pride movement is as political as Christmas is political. There will be people that make it a political issue, but that doesn’t mean it is actually political. A company that celebrates a holiday that big part of the population celebrate is not siding with a political party or even with a religion. The rights for any minorities in a government or a state is political, but pride is a celebration and as such it is not political. A state making a religion official and forced/encouraged is political. Celebrating Christmas is not political. And celebrating Christmas as a company doesn’t mean they alienate customers or employees that don’t actually follow the religious side of the holiday.

  Don’t get sucked into the idea that a company cannot show support for minorities or make events depending on the celebrations socially occurring because you need to be neutral. That’s not neutrality, that’s self censorship.

  To take it to the extremes, are we expecting companies to say they are not against slavery but also not in favor, because it is political? Child labour is bad, but I don’t want to support any side because it is too political. Terrorism attacks? Well we don’t have a stance against or for them, it’s just too political.

  There’s a big difference between siding with one party or another and not showing a stance into what should be universal human rights. Are universal human rights political? Well kinda, but we shouldn’t support, or allow any company that is afraid of supporting human rights because it might alienate some customers… Pride and lgbtq rights might not be on the same level as slavery, terrorism and child labor but hell who someone spends their life with is a human right and has nothing to do with politics.

  You can turn invisible but only parts that are alive, in essence, cells. Your nails, your hair, the food you’ve eaten, pee… All can be seen though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do I actually need?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This has been my path so far, nearly to a T. Got an old laptop, installed endeavour with a very light DE and attached an external drive and started messing with *arrs and jellyfin and bunch of other things.

  The only downside is that my family now relies on that for watching so I’m more careful of not breaking the stuff that works.

  Got another laptop that had no use so I started playing around on it. Installed Debian and CasaOS on top to test if that would be a nice alternative.

  The only real issue is the lack of time to spend on this.

  And I could rebute to that, that if someone is interested enough to check it with AI then they were likely to try and check it anyway without AI, maybe it would take longer, it would be harder to find… But they’d be the intended audience that now are redirected elsewhere.

  To quote myself:

  It’s a really complex topic that no simple straight answer would solve.

  We could rebute again and again and again, and get nowhere because either option is hard to discuss as it is simply impossible to give proper data to prove anything. And worse, when defending the use of AI for it can lead to being told you are allowing it in the first place and that’s not even telling how many people still believe that AI needs real sample images to produce those (whether the algorithm is trained or not on CP is irrelevant on this particular point, as it is not needed to be created)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a counterpart, the fact that it is so easy and simple to get those AI images, compared to the risk and extra effort of doing it for real, could make the actual child abuse become less common and less profitable for mafias and assholes in general. It’s a really complex topic that no simple straight answer would solve.

  Normalising it would be horrible and should be avoided, but there will always be some amount of people looking for that content. I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content. Persecuting the AI content is not only very inefficient, it might also be harmful as the only other content left would be the real one that is much harder to catch those who make it.
