- Comment on Artists face steep income decline due to AI, UNESCO finds 1 day ago:
Resist with a resurgence of live music where people witness live talent and skill of their instruments, that write incredible pieces and songs. Get involved with your local music scene. Share music you love with people who appreciate the artistry.
Besides the massive hegemons of the music industry, the vast, vast, vast majority of incredible music that are available on streaming platforms from artists, bigger and smaller, barely made them an income from streaming to begin with; they used it as a marketing tool for people to access their art, and otherwise monetize their brand by selling LIVE SHOWS! Selling merch! This is how they really made money off their work. And even then, many of them still have day jobs to make ends meet. They do it because it’s their passion man.
The Taylor Swifts and Bad Bunnys of the world will do fine; their labels will find a way to profiteer off AI with their brand and image. Yes this screws over smaller artists again, but what more is a lost fraction of a fraction of a penny going to do for them if they already struggle to begin with? Resist. Go to a live show.

Dabbled with Linux on a Raspberry Pi and a laptop that I only used from time to time; it wasn’t until the imminent Windows 10 support drop announcement that I finally installed it in my main rig. The words “fuck it” were uttered in my mind too.

Let’s see how that fairs out with say, for example, a general strike?

I think it’s the big picture of racially motivated violence that the meme pokes fun at in particular.
Side note, the UK is the one mirroring the US’ authoritarianism the fastest and the closest anyhow.

Its pretty much a guide on making it yourself if you’re daring and have the resources. And don’t forget to follow that up his video on how he turned latex gloves into hot sauce .

Yes, touching grass and talking to someone with life experience and their own opinions is better than talking to an LLM that agrees and validates everything you say, doesn't hold you accountable, and siphons your data, all while you get more and more mentally ill (because people treat talking to an LLM like they're talking to a Cortana like AGI, but the limitations of machine learning make it literally fucking impossible).

This is small example of defiance against that fascist piece of shit in DC. This, even the smaller things, need to be happening rapid fire all the time.
