8 years are 2 election cycles. Much can happen in that time.

Writing is way more than creating outlines or checking the plot for problems. It’s more than even writing a first draft. In fact, it starts with the first round of edits, when characters awake and find their voices etc.
People who think writing with AI is just pushing buttons underestimate the complexity of the process, and using AI for things you’d usually use other writers’ feedback or betas or developmental editors for is just an evolution of tools, the same way we don’t scratch on stone tablets anymore today.
Kbin kept logging me out. At some point, it got so annoying, I deleted my bookmark.
It’s very simple actually. Russia invaded a souvereign country. The end.
We don’t have the medical treatment yet. But we’re getting close.
First result, searching from Japan. Maybe it’s very specific to Korea.
Gonna check out Connect, thank you :)
On sh.itjust.works, shit just works.
As for apps, I’m using Liftoff, which works well, but hasn’t seen an update for a while, and I don’t know how active the dev is. I’d rather not use Jerboa, which has been created by tankies, or any of the ad-infested ones, like Boost, because I think it’s despicable to try and profit off of user-generated content on a platform that’s meant to be free (could have stayed on Reddit if I wanted that).
I don’t think Lemmy will reach or overtake Reddit. That’s a good thing in my opinion, because massive platforms come with massive moderation problems that aren’t so easy to tackle for decentralised networks. We’ve seen that when someone posted kiddie porn and several servers went down to scrub the filth from their systems.
If anything, Lemmy already has a pretty high amount of troll communities, thankfully mostly contained within their own servers, which enables separation through defederation (speaking of defederation, I’d love to have an option to block servers on the user level).
I’d think it’s more that there’s now more media fighting your attention. When I was a kid (GenX here), we had a handful of TV channels and books. Books was what I went with.
Nowadays, I get home from work and watch something on YouTube before bed. I still read, but my standards have risen, and a trashy space opera won’t do it anymore for me. It has to be a great one now, and there are fewer of them. So, naturally, YouTube gets a bigger share of my time. Or games, when I have time to play on the weekends. My comfort game used to be Civilization, and currently I’m hooked on Baldurs Gate.
Not going to waste my time with you. You’ll tell me to fuck myself the moment you’re out of arguments.
Funny how that works, isn’t it? The same guy who talks about a good faith discussion telling you to fuck yourself. Welcome to 2023.
Tribalism. “You don’t like what I like, therefore you’re my enemy.”
I’ve been using Liftoff, which has none of that nonsense. Ads on Lemmy, no thanks. Why pay for it if free alternatives exist.
Not everyone is an English native.
I only have four or five extensions and YouTube videos lag. It’s Firefox. I’ll still not switch to anything else, but I could imagine a clean Chrome without anything added and zero bookmarks purely as video platform.
Which role does Leonardo DeCaprio play?
Chihiro 2: Spirited Again
purpose
Okay, so what you’re saying is that you think friction creates a sense of purpose. That might be true. People in Mexico are probably more happy about little things and enjoy them more, because that’s what they have. Less freedom of choice paradox to contend with, and less free time to sink into depression (I believe in “the olden times”, people were just too tired from fighting to survive to sit down and have an existential crisis). That sounds like a valid idea and is supporting your point.
The question is, how can we combine my (borrowed from the Culture series) idea of a post scarcity society with your idea of a psychological need for friction? Do you think it’s impossible to simulate the same feeling of need for something to result in the same strain that then causes happiness?
Saw a toddler with a phone in hand today, maybe a year. Couldn’t walk yet, but had no trouble scrolling.
