@neil I've been a LibreOffice user for years and will never go back. It's office 2003 without all the garbage.
JA WestenbergThe Democratic leadership has convinced itself that each yes vote on a Republican nomination somehow banks political capital for the future. What future? When your opponent announces their intention to end democracy as we know it, what exactly are you saving your political capital for?
@daedalean @tante Absolutely! As a musician, the joy of the musical process is what makes music. When people push garbage like AI music, it's very clear they don't know any musicians.
Robert Kist 🇦🇹🇸🇬@tante because most of them aren't inventors, creators, engineers (although they like to think of themselves as engineers), painters, musicians or novelists. they are business people first and foremost. business is what they do day in, day out. not writing a novel or making art.
tanteWhen Mark Zuckerberg was trying to sell us on Meta verse I kept loudly wondering why he didn't get anyone to write him a compelling argument for why people would want it.
While the "AI" folks give a bunch of examples (mostly saying "you can have cheap machine servants like rich people do") it feels very much the same. The stories are so uncompelling, so ... inhumane?
"You never have to talk to a human" - yeah but that is what makes us human? Like being social?
"You can just generate artworks and stuff" - cool so I can never feel pride about doing something, expressing myself ever again? Great.
Everyday I'm on alternative social media sites, I am reminded that it's important to build #community offline and outside of political parties, especially the latter.
I'm also realizing that many of us don't actually know how to do that and it's important we learn. Being in community requires us to face critical issues while moving toward a common goal and most of those issues are always going to deal with individualism at first. We can't be a collective if we still think about 'me first."
@alisynthesis I'm reminding myself of this. As we start to move away from Meta's platforms, we have to remember that music lovers are everywhere and they still want to go out and do stuff. Live music is still loved by all.
