Art classes can introduce you to new techniques that you wouldn’t have otherwise pursued and elevate your art to greater heights. Depending on the school, it also helps with networking. Lotsa famous animators at places like CalArts, Sheridan, Gobelins, etc.
I often hear AI enthusiasts say that AI democratized art. As if art weren’t already democratized. Most anyone can pick up a pen, draw, write, type, move a mouse, etc. What AI democratizes in art, is the perception of skill. Which is why when you find out a piece of art was made by inputting some short prompt into a generator, you become disappointed. Because it would be cool, if the person actually had the skill to draw that. Pushing a few buttons to get that, not so much.

Tbh, I think most people just don’t understand that Lemmy is where all the quote un quote “tankies” that got banned or felt disenfranchised with reddit ended up in. They truly believe in whatever they are saying. Some of these people tend to be pro China and or even Russia, AND are real people who actually believe in their ideology and what they are saying, and aren’t just foreign agents. As for undermining American social media companies? Tiktok is already one of the most popular social media sites out there.
Create a national jobs force/program, like the old Civilian Conservation Corps. Which can be organized and deployed to various US infrastructure projects, like building high speed rail. Offer some universal basic income along with their jobs. And offer housing as well.
Push to decentralize, that is to push users from more popular instances to less popular ones, would be good then I guess.
It’s sort of an extension of lolcow culture. This is a vid I recommend to watch to understand it.
Tbh, I don’t know why a push by more left leaning sites hasn’t happened? This would at the very least show the broader unpopularity of the age verification law among pretty much both sides.
Shit, might as well get a bag from this administration.
Tbh, I do agree with him that we shouldn’t dehumanize. Fascists are humans, who deserve to be put down. There. Easy. No dehumanization, and you can still say that they deserve bullets blowing their brains out the back their heads.
Monero is good, but is currently facing troubles of their own with potential 51% attacks.
I mean…I wouldn’t mind a physical card if it looked cool and shit.
The guy should spend the money to get some alterations done at a tailor.
Isn’t the “for-profit” Mozilla Corporation owned by the “non-profit” Mozilla Foundation though?
Yeah “family friendly” = advertisable.
First they came for the Yaoi
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Fujoshi
Then they came for the Porn
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Gooner
Then they came for the Games
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Gamer
Then they came for the Anime
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Otaku
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Political cartoons are typically like this. The one you’re replying to is a really old one I think.
I mean. A social database I feel is toxic in of itself. It’s makes forgiveness harder, it makes changing yourself harder. What’s the point in changing if people are gonna look you up in a database like this and perhaps forevermore treat you as if you are like that in the present day, forever. It assumes that humans are unchanging, that once a shitty person always a shitty person.
Alright Datahoarders…get on it!
Waffles? What’s this geometric breakfast grid?Where’s happy floppy shapes? Where’s bubbly dadaisms on my plate?
