Here’s my argument: tough titties. Everything Greg Rutkowski has ever drawn or made has been inspired by other things he has seen and the experiences of his life, and this applies to all of us. Indeed, one cannot usually have experiences without the participation of others. Everyone wants to think they are special, and of course we are to someone, but to everyone no one is special. Since all of our work is based upon the work of everyone who came before us, then all of our work belongs to everyone. So tough fucking titties, welcome to the world of computer science, control c and control v is heavily encouraged.

In that Beatles documentary, Paul McCartney said he thought that once you uttered the words into the microphone, it belonged to everyone. Little did he know how right he actually was.

You think there is a line between innovation and infringement? Wrong, They are the same thing.

And for the record, I’m fine with anyone stealing my art. They can even sell it as their own. Attribution is for the vain.

I mean, this isn’t that surprising as the algorithm is intended for full dopamine distribution. It’s like a fucking dopamine faucet and we are all just a bunch of apes.

I don’t think the idea should be to make the algorithm’s ungameable because I feel like that is literally impossible with humans. The first rule of web dev or game dev is that the users are going to find ways to use your site, app, software, or api in ways you never intended regardless of how long you, or even a team of people, think about it.

I’d rather see something where the algorithm is open and pieces of it are voted on by the users and other interested parties. Perhaps let people create and curate their own algorithm’s, something like playlist curation on spotify or youtube but make it as transparent as possible, let people share them and such. Kind of like how playlists are shared.

Meh, there is always some kind of feature it’s missing that I want from the official app or one of it’s competitors. I tried it for a while but ultimately went back to my regular apps.

disabled people? bro, you think middle managers give a fuck about disabled people? what are you? compassionate?

This would be like creating a family safe environment and forgetting to require clothing so a bunch of nudists show up and you’re like “WHOOPS? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF CLOTHING?” Then when the parents are like “what the hell?” you replied with “I MEAN THIS STUFF HAPPENS YOU KNOW?”

disallowing the nword in the username is like beginner level business requirements dude.

This could be an innocuous regex bug, but considering the founder and that there have already been reports of black users being harangued on the platform, I don’t think we should give any benefit of the doubt. It definitely helps that they fixed it so quickly… normally a shit company wouldn’t do anything for months and months or even years or try to fall behind some “free speech” simpleton kindergarten reasoning. People have been putting nword in their usernames for decades so I don’t think this is something where the devs can claim they didn’t see this coming.

Thanks, Ill check it out and direct any of my friends there that may want a space like this.

Looks nice but I wouldn’t mind a light mode…

I hear ya, I hate when games have too much story. The stories are never any good and usually outright eye-rollingly bad. I particularly hate when they do “…”

Legend of Zelda, the very first one. Yoshi’s Island. FIFA.

I amassed a huge amount of gold and then wasn’t sure what to do. The story said I had to find some guy but I kept just chasing him around the map and could never catch him.

People act like facebook isn’t a hellspawn of far right hatred, fascism, and general stupidity in all of it’s glorious forms. I’m just fine with my instance defederating them because Im just fine with not seeing posts from Moms for Liberty, or proud boys, or ivermectin treatments, or whatever the fuck goes on over there now a days. If I wanted to see facebook shit, I’d go to fuckin’ facebook wouldn’t I? It has little to do with corporate or not corporate.
