i dont remember many sound effects, but the testosterone imbued speaker is definitely in one of the big privately-owned rock radios in germany.

one thing that always annoyed me tho is when stations play snippets of really good music in their announcements or adverts, and then resume to playing the boring songs they played the last 3 hours.

this is very much true, but it is still ur choice whether u honk at them. u will find that many times people will notice 2 seconds later and give a lil thank/apology wave ur way.

i think the best way of handling it if ur in a hurry is a super short honk, just enough to wake them up without making them feel attacked.

stoicism ig? i have to accept that there are things out of my control, and i cannot let that stop me from functioning entirely.

nobody reads the terms of service, ever.

also, no modern game companies with any relevance use a FOSS license.

so the way i see it, gamers have two options:

  • stop playing videogames or
  • only play supertuxkart and dwarf fortress

neither of these would happen at a scale large enough to force game studios into making their games FOSS.

the only way i can see of making this happen is by either:

  • a series of very popular, targeted boycotts at studios, or
  • making governments regulate the industry.

and with the second option, history has shown that only small changes have a chance of passing. effectively abolishing copyright law for software is not something the EU will ever do, no matter how many signatures a petition gets.

yea ai does it in a different way than humans do, i agree. altho i wouldnt say its equivalent to making a perfect copy of something. people wouldnt be using ai if that were all it did.

im also not saying that ai art is as good or even close to as good as art made by humans with purpose and intention behind it, just that both are based on previous existing works in some form

if they want it gone, in what way does just tagging the content give in to this crowd?

i specifically said:

not the fact that yall created lemmy

ive been around on lemmy since very early on, back when dev.lemmy.ml was a thing, and ive seen my fair share of the tankie shit yall posted, so i think u know what im talking about actually.

[–] rivvvver 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

im very grateful to them for creating lemmy..

but neither that nor supporting some human rights exempts u from also harboring harmful beliefs and supporting harmful things.

and like i said, that doesnt mean they dont deserve donations, but it does make me more hesitant to donate.

[–] rivvvver 18 points 4 months ago (9 children)

not OP but for me its ur authoritarian beliefs that make me feel icky about donating to u, not the fact that yall created lemmy.

not that i wouldnt look past that, but it does make me a bit more hesitant.
