I think protest profile pics are great :) But in corpo hell they don’t matter.

That was maybe true once, but it’s fading into nothing but a meme. Half life is just not relevant for newer generations.
But that may just be the opportunity… Giving them a reason to care.

Plug for tuwunnel.
Easy to set up, and just works. I can’t share any of the OP’s annoyances - everything is fast. Admittedly, I don’t really use the web client.

I had 7g once.
It was amazing, the visuals just took over my senses and when I came back, still tripping, I felt like I could telepathically talk to my friends lmao.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 months ago:
Feminism is just a collective name for various ideologies with the aim of social justice for all genders/sexes. Within you will find many different movements with various qualities. It’s about creating societal/governmental systems that afford the same opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender, race or sexuality.
You could see it as a subcategory of egalitarianism, which in general has the goal of social justice.

Right, spewing bullshit and then framing resistance as confirmation of your ficticious points - classic playbook. Go and touch grass for once ;)
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 months ago:
Of course the focus is on women and generally LGBTQ+ people, as they are oppressed groups.
In its wider sense though, especially with the focus on intersectionality, it is for a fairer and juster world for everyone as the systems of oppression affect us all in various capacities.

God damn, what a load of incel bullshit you’re spewing. You’re exactly the problem and the reason why women would rather spend time with a bear than another self-absorbed manlet.
Patriarchy affects everyone badly, not just women. But I won’t be wasting time, you can learn about everything if you just put in a little effort. You seem to be choosing egoistical ignorance.
- Comment on YSK about your search engines, and whether they have a independent search engine or not 2 months ago:
It may be, but the search results are also so much better and you can rank them yourself.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 months ago:
Wrong. Feminism is anti-patriarchy, for everyone. Educate yourself, read a little.

- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 2 months ago:
I use pipewire with Ardour and Neural DSP VSTs (over wine) with zero issues on EndeavourOS. I really hadn’t expected that. Now, I generally just use this stuff to not have to buy many physical pedals so I rarely do recording, but that has worked out.
You seem to be way more advanced than me in that regard, so I can’t say if it would work for you, but it was so much easier and better than when I tried the same thing years ago. I’d suspect that GuitarRig works as well, though I haven’t tried. I may just do so this weekend, but can’t promise.

Corporations and companies parasitically destroy everything human in the name of money. If it’s not a non-profit dedicated to the purpose of providing access to mods, it’s just a question of time. Best to just get a new thing started.

I see what you mean, but is there any evidence that the models are biased in a way that affirms the world view of the owners? If I understood you correctly? I couldn’t find any.
I’m as sceptical of the capitalist fuckwits as you seem to be, but their power seems to me to be more political/capitalist through the idea of AGI, than through the models themselves. Something that simple sequestration could solve. But that’s on the government and the voters.
I’m not sure about the point you are trying to make with CLIP. It’s not a topic I’m familiar with, but also seems to be more a problem of the usage and people that the technology itself. Naïve usage by people who want to follow trends/the cheapest option/just something that works in any capacity.
For me, the issue lies first in the overhyped marketing which is par on course for basically anything, unfortunately, as well as the fact, that suddenly copyright infringement is fine, if you make enough money off of it and lick powerful boots. If it was completely open for everyone, it wouls be a completely different story IMO.
Also, I do not think that the models were created with the goal of pushing a certain narrative. They lucked into it being popular, completely unexpectedly, and only then the vultures started seeing the opportunity. So we will see how it evolves in that regard, but I don’t think this is what we’re seeing currently.

But these are neither problems of the technology, nor of it being hosted. It’s an issue of the person using it, the situation, and the person receiving it, as well as all their values.
Not sure why people are directing their hate against the tools instead of the actual politics and governments not taking the current and potential future ones seriously. Technology and progress are never the problem.
