Ban algorithmic timelines for all social media, news, and entertainment.

Ban real-time algorithmic pricing.

Enforce a higher standard of driving, tailgating, extreme speed, distracted driving is insane.

This is the real crux of the issue. Data collection and algorithmic incentives are destroying society.

Self host, takes less time then you think after the initial library build. Easy to do in a weekend. If you have some money to spend on music then buy music from the artists you love. Can all be in one place, none of this exclusive garbage, quality as high as you want, can rip music that’s never been released digitally, and I think most importantly - access to your music library without an algorithm telling you what to listen to. You’ll be surprised how your listening habits change and how well you know your music after jumping off the engagement treadmill.

There are a LOT of people out there who honestly have no idea that a website is capable of collecting data. Maybe even the majority. The fact these numbers are not higher is due to most people sticking with defaults rather than them making a privacy decision.

How else do you expect anyone to take this? 🙄

Rebranding it to WLBR feels like throwing all of that away for the sake of optics that most longtime users like myself frankly don’t care about.

Because to you it’s virtually meaningless other than some weird nostalgia. For schools it’s the difference between a teacher being able to promote the software to 30 kids at a time or not. You may think that’s stupid, so does the teacher, it doesn’t matter.

The fact that longtime users like yourself can’t see the value in anyone else’s opinion here is pretty on point in my experience with this community.

Can the battery not be in the house away from the elements?

If I steal someone else’s song and put my name on it nobody reasonable would say I made it.

This whole AI-art fucktrain is entirely propped up by people who never made art before suddenly thinking they know something.

AI isn’t replacing monotonous jobs though. It’s being used as an excuse to cut good skilled labor for c-suite parasites. And it can’t even do those jobs as well. Garbage take.

Honest question: are you high?

Like Tux but with cool sunglasses and cigarettes.

This. Even a large portion of the American left doesn’t take those threats seriously. One of the most powerful countries in history threatening your own and the only response is jokes on the fuckin’ Colbert Report.

What’s your psychology background?

Supports Wayland colour management now, nice! Good step forward for artists.

Better for everyone. Some people mistake noticing the colour as hard to see but our pupils stay dilated with warm colours. Hence why red light is common with outdoorsy folks. All these new cool temp lights should have never been allowed. The older warm colours were fine even on big transport trucks.

Nah, it’s everybody. There is almost always a white SUV 4ft off the back of a bumper in Canada. Tailgating and colour temperature are the biggest problems here. Probably followed by aftermarket bulbs and lifted vehicles not aiming their lights. And stock Hyundai’s for some reason.

Sir, it’s the year 2026.

Everything about a Tesla interior is cost-savings masquerading as innovation. Actually most of these touch screen focused modern cars. It’s cheaper to produce than tactile buttons.

This entire thread is about Russia’s war of conquest against Ukraine. 🤦‍♂️
