It’s hubris and/or abuse, and should be illegal barring exceptional circumstances.

Public schools should be well funded.

Private schools should also be illegal.

Mixed. I find new artists I like somewhat frequently, but genre-wise I don’t often go that far.

I don’t really relate to “I listen to all kinds of music! A hundred new songs a day!”. I find an album I like and spend a couple weeks with it, then find something new. I go into my backlog a lot.

I buy music (mostly on Bandcamp) so that works for me. Cheaper than a subscription,.and now I have a library.

I use them as reactions on platforms that support it. Someone sends a PR and I react with eye emoji for looking at it, checkmark for done, or speech bubble for comments. It takes less space than a full text response. Especially in damned Teams that doesn’t have threads in chats, so you can’t even group your responses.

That’s pretty much it. I don’t use them as punctuation and rarely use them in an actual message

Yep. Infrastructure shouldn’t be privately owned.

Yes that is the legal justification. I am not interested in the legal justification. Laws are not inherently good. They were clearly paid less than their worth if there’s six figure payouts to be had here.

This is the fundamental injustice of capitalism. The owner pays you a small amount and keeps all the profits. A child would recognize that as unfair.

This feels like theft. Maybe not technically legally but the people who did the chatting aren’t getting the money. Capitalist hellscape

If we could channel their cognitive dissonance to turn turbines, we’d solve the energy crisis.

Microsoft is probably salivating at the idea of being the only legal OS provider.

I’ve never heard of this person before but he sounds like a trash bag.

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

Going further on this tangent, this made me remember specifically Baldur’s gate 2 (two), the ambient noise when you’re outside the copper coronet. It’s people sounds- talking, the occasion laugh or shout. It always made the place feel alive and interesting to me in a way car noises don’t.

If they won’t use signal or similar then they’re kind of shitty, but sometimes with friends and family that’s how it is.

People should stop using Facebook products.

The only noise I hear is my music playing from a speaker and a fan. I’m getting natural light from the windows. I have curtains in my bedroom that turn it into a cave.

The pollution, maybe. A lot of that is caused by cars. My parents lived out in the suburbs, but rather close to a major highway that wasn’t good for environmental quality, and was loud.

Cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.

I’ve never paid a subscription for YouTube. It’s been, what, like $10/mo for ten years? Can buy a lot of media drm free for that $1200.

This supports my hypothesis that living in the city with buses and trains is worth the higher costs.

It enables unskilled people to punch above their weight class, similar to giving a chainsaw to a toddler.

I’ve used them a little for coding, but it’s not always correct. It’s often incorrect in subtle ways. Or inefficient in non obvious ways. It gets worse as you build more.

Often it’s better overall to do it yourself if you know what you’re doing. If you stick to letting the LLM do it, you won’t learn much.

I don’t think I’ve blocked anybody, but I mostly don’t read names. Sometimes I wonder if I’m having a metaphorical fist fight in one thread and a love fest in another with the same person.

It’s eclipsed (no pun intended) by the horrors of war, disease, and conservatism. It’s hard to be excited about the moon when there’s measles outbreaks and at least one genocide.
