We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they'd rather mute. But they're forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don't like.

You grow in this bubble as they grow in theirs. By the next time you're forced to interact, you feel so alien and unpleasant to one another it's confusing and frightening. Corporations are right there to sell you on a story about how the other side are demons destroying the world. We gobble it up.

Actors are not and should not be responsible for gun safety on set. You expect a low IQ former drama kid with a coke habit who worships scientology from a country where it's not even legal to own a firearm to be responsible? When every other scene in an action film explicitly requires that they break every single one of the 4 rules of gun safety?

Trusting actors who studied Shakespeare in college to be responsible for determining if a prop is actually a lethal weapon is absurd. That's why there's a trained person on set where that's literally their whole responsibility. I like Baldwin's acting. I've also heard he's shitty to his daughter. I'm not defending him as a person. I'm defending him because he's innocent of this charge. His job was to point something that resembled a gun at someone and pull the trigger. It was someone else's to ensure that would be a safe action.

Glad to hear that. The top comment is talking about the people that do think the rich should be killed. And those people co-existing with people that empathize with Paris Hilton on lemmy.

There's projects that fully replace the Google Home Mini mobo. No reason you couldn't do that with Alexa

It's no shock when a game developer builds a bunch of content on a platform like UE5 and charges for it. No shock that Epic might take a cut. But when it's a game developer building content on a platform like Starfield and Bethesda would get the cut, it should be free? Why exactly? Because you're used to it?

In my head the batteries would work somewhat like the electric scooters you can rent around big cities. There would be battery companies that pay stations to stock their batteries. Then EV owners pay for the juice they used, plus a little extra for the wear, plus a little extra to make it worth it for the battery companies when they swap to a new battery. So you're essentially renting the batteries.

Yeah and what is the first thing they teach you in art school? History. From day one you're studying the works of other artists and its implications. How they managed to make an impact on the viewers and how it inspires you. Then we produce output that's judged by our teachers on a scale and we use that as weighted training data.

Maybe other artists should do that too. Art isn't built from nothing but the sheer magical creativity of the artist. If that were true we'd have Sistine cave paintings instead of the finger painting we currently have in prehistoric caves. Inspiration, is in fact, a thing.

They should go ahead and be against Photoshop and, well, computers all together while they're at it. In fact spray paint is cheating too. You know how long it takes to make a proper brush stroke? No skill numpties just pressing a button; they don't know what real art is!
