Maybe that will happen in those giant urban nightmares they call cities. I moved out of the decaying concrete jungle (Escape From L.A.!) and have been living in small towns for the past decade. Here, live music is made every night, spilling out onto the boardwalk and carried by the wind to brighten and invigorate minds old and new. Real music is an art that will survive the AI apocalypse, and perhaps be the last echo of our civilization, spreading out into the cosmos long after we’re gone, and exchanting distant (alien) minds.

Well, just think about how pervasive cheap junk plastic (toys, food packaging, vehicles, furniture, etc) is in our society, yet there are tons of people who make or buy things made out of high quality materials like solid wood furniture or quality steel kitchen appliances. So, there will always be people who reject imitation and embrace originality (and you can find them at art festivals!)

I would recommend going to some local art faires, it will soothe your anxiety about the future (of art). I bought a small oil-on-canvas painting of a sailboat at sunset from a young artist at a recent art faire, who was thrilled to talk about art and even tried to give me the painting for free. Creating art by hand is soul-satisfying, and rest assured, my friend, it will never be replaced my AI.
- Comment on Which kind of applications need legacy processor but up to date OS ? 3 months ago:
Most industrial embedded PCs I’ve serviced ran on Windows XP Pro but you’d never see it (under the machine control software that autoruns on boot) unless things had gone pear-shaped. It was kinda trippy how at the time you could find that OS running on everything from grandpa’s old Gateway 2000 all the way up to $100K+ industrial CNC machines and million-dollar medical imaging equipment.

You’re correct! And its done such a good job that it’s allowed me to forget (unintentionally) that issue even exists!

I used newpipe for a long time, currently using a fork called pipepipe. I forgot why I switched lol
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 4 months ago:
VW sold the e-Golf in the US between 2015 and 2019, which was available with physical key and no-frills interior - some base models even sported an analog instrument cluster!

Psst the URL is: alternativeto.net I always stop here first to research what software options there are available and also learning what other people are using. Extremely useful and trustworthy site!

If you ever figure it out I’d love to know, too. I relied entirely on Libre Office as an undergrad but missed this feature of MS Word. I currently use a combination of Scribbr and Purdue Owl but would prefer an offline and open source solution.
- Comment on I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) 5 months ago:
I do, and have used them in the past. However I’ve had issues with the profiles getting corrupted. Could be user error ;) Installing Waterfox was easier than trying to sort out my profiles.ini and so as you know, nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix :D

I didn’t see Waterfox mentioned in the article or comments, so I’m giving it a shout out now. Firefox is still my #1 browser, which I have synced to all my critical accounts, and use very cautiously, only using a few trustwothy extensions. However, when I want to explore unfamiliar domains or experiment with lesser-known browser extensions, I’ve relied on the equally dependable Waterfox browser. It’s fast, free, and 99% the same as Firefox except it’s a completely different app so you can basically have 2 Firefoxes set up and customized for completely different roles. Between the two, I can keep Chrome frozen on my phone and off my desktop (although I have a portable Chromium on USB for emergencies).
