I think we have very different ways of enjoying art. I don’t really understand how it’s possible for at to have nothing with the artist’s views, unless it were totally random. Actually, even that would be saying something.
But I get the feeling that we look at art pretty differently.
Can’t say personally, but for many it’s the first time they’re even looking at what other engines have to offer.
I got that, I was just repeating the number. My point is that leather is more durable than is necessary for a consumer electronic, especially one from Apple which has made planned obsolescence continuous innovation a cornerstone of their business.
Human rights don’t exist either. These are legal and philosophical concepts that we decide on, not fundamental constants.
Well vegans do it, so it must be available enough
Why I would separate the artist from what they made? I’m interested in what they have to say about the world. That’s the point of art.
It’s not just content to make me happy until the next hit. Like, it has meaning.
Yeah but now imagine they were part of a sixty year old computer. Kind of a waste if you ask me.
The electronics here will be grossly obsolete within five years.
Canvas straps can be good quality, less sticky, and last way beyond the lifespan of any consumer grade electronic device.
Not to sound like I’m a textiles expert, so don’t come at me
Same. Honestly it got me to stop putting butter on my toast. It’s so nasty.
It’s funny because it’s so obvious that no one would ever need to say it, but these two are whispering like it’s office gossip
I know a few nurses in the neighbourhood and this is basically their survival strategy.
The Best of World SF is undeniably an excellent sampler of voices from around the world, both of authors and of translators.
The editor comes off as maybe a bit self-centred? But I can’t deny they have excellent taste and connections.
Fedi seems to be really great for accessibility from what I’ve seen. At least I’ve never never interacted with so many visually impaired people before joining mastodon. So I’d say that culture is working.
I believe there’s a nice way to go about (honey v vinegar, etc), but generally yeah, it feels really good to be in a virtual space that is so welcoming.
I can’t really think of a case where a post’s image isn’t relevant to the associated discussion. Even if it’s just a nonsense post with an unrelated image, knowing what the irrelevant image is about would help make sense of the discussion.
Not enough info is better than nothing. Because if it’s nothing, you can’t tell if the person who shared the image is lazy or decided the alt text wasn’t necessary for this particular picture
My dog just doesn’t like it when I cook. The whole business is too risky and I shouldn’t be bothering in her opinion
Not a lot of things more basic than your gender.
It’s easy for us cis folks to hand wave it away as pointless frippery, since everyone already acknowledges our gender identity.
We have the privilege of not even having to think about it or question how we feel.
Not so easy for some other people.
I’m not seeing any downvotes on the kbin web app
They’re still around! Discourse, phpbb, etc make it super easy to set up and administer. You don’t even need coding knowledge. I’m part of a forum that’s been going since the early oughts myself. Old Ocremix forums diaspora.
Think of it like a bookclub. You’ve just got to find some folks and get cracking
I think this and the stuff happening at Twitter are a nice kickstart to get lemmy and other ferdiverse stuff going.
Long live the ferdervers!
But seriously, I’m with you in sentiment. I’m never going back to the centralised/for-profit soc med services.
All their value comes from the free interactions between people chatting, and they think they deserve to get rich for renting the hall. Fuck that, we can just rent the infrastructure ourselves if that’s what it takes to talk in peace.
Look at this nerd sietch
