Generally agree with you, but I have a few selective exceptions and one of my main ones are the 1994 Pink Floyd concert where they - in the video version - bring out the mother of all disco balls during Comfortably Numb

It’s a 10 minute long performance and literally half of the time is the guitar crying in beautiful agony. Just go to the 5 minute mark if you want to hear one of the best guitar solos ever made. And this comes from someone who isn’t really a fan of long guitar solos.

Another live performance that I prefer over the studio recording is Runrig’s Only the Brave. It just feels appropriate that it’s a big crowd for this specific song. It feels like a song that should have a whole stadium of drunk, happy Scotsman singing along. It always brings a teary smile to my face, when I listen to this live recording.

Real.

😆

I hope she will have many more happy years in her! ❤️

Yeah, I’d say you pretty much got it! :D

Fedt at emnet bliver taget op! Synes især den del med heksejagt er vigtig. Vi har jo modtaget nye medlemmer i nyere tid, som står lidt anderledes politisk end flertallet herinde og jeg ærgrer mig altså lidt, når jeg ser deres kommentarer bliver nedstemt for holdninger de har i stedet for at man prøver at tale med hinanden om det.

Jeg frygter nemlig lidt at brugere, der skiller sig ud, på længere sigt vil komme til at føle sig uvelkomne herinde og ender med at forlade fællesskabet selvom deres eneste “synd” var at have en anden holdning end fællesskabet.

Personligt vil jeg gerne have at vi bliver ved med at fremelske et forum, der kan rumme at man ikke er enige. Selvfølgelig er der grænser for hvad man skal tolerere, men mit indtryk er at stort set alle, der er aktive på feddit.dk er rimelig normale leverpostejsmennesker og det er absolut ment som en kompliment. Synes der skal være plads til at nogles leverpostej er krydret lidt anderledes end andres og ikke bliver straffet for det.

Hvis man er uenig med dem, så kan man tage snakken med dem i stedet for at gemme sig bag en neddut. Det synes jeg er bedst.

This is a really good comment. Personally I hope it bursts soon, because I find it stressful and tense to live in the middle of this artificial hype train (among other things), but I also hold no delusions that AI will go away.

In the end, I just look forward to the day when everybody is aware of and understands what AI is and what it ISN’T. Because right now it’s just a bunch of confusion and hype and people are implementing this tool without having any idea what it actually is, which can lead to problems.

When we all have demystified this new tool and understand what it can and can’t do and what it should and shouldn’t be used for, I will be a very happy lady. Because fuck man, it is so tiring.

There’s also the conflict of intellectual property and how this subject will manifest in the future. And when I say intellectual property I am not taking about all the thousands of people whose intellectual property has been used to train AI without consent. I am talking about AI companies and how they will most likely Crack down hard on any company that has used their product and earned money with it. One of my colleague said that he believes that there will be a lot of lawsuits against companies that have used AI to create a profitable product and that AI companies will claim these products as theirs because their tool created them, therefore any profit made will belong to the AI company.

Most likely, companies will have to pay expensive licenses and/or subscriptions to have access to these tools for commercial use.

And that is one of the reasons why I do not use AI for anything at all.

It all depends on intent. A good faith reply could be identical to a bad faith reply, but the motivations are different. For example a reply to OP’s post could be something along the lines of accusing him of being a pro AI tech bro who is in denial about the bubble bursting someday. The good faith person would have misunderstood the intent of the OP and come to a wrong conclusion which they would admit fault to during a correction. A bad faith actor would most likely understand what the OP means, but would deliberately make the worst interpretation of what OP said and when corrected, he or she would double down to make the OP look as bad as possible.

So it is not so much whether the reply is friendly or not, it is about the intent behind it and how willing or unwilling the other party is to have an honest conversation about the topic at hand.

You horrid beast.

You’re also wrong, because most old movies begin with the credits, nah nah.

The only time I spoil a movie on purpose is when I hate it so much I want to make sure no one gets tricked into watching it.

I would love to spoil Gods of Egypt for that very reason. No one deserves to sit through that pile of non-movie. Problem is that I have no memory of the plot, so it is impossible to spoil. You could probably convince me that anything happened in that film and I would believe you. All I know is that it was so anti-immersive, that I ended up becoming painfully aware of the fact that my friend and I were sitting in her apartment, in front of a black box that makes color and noise for two ours. It is that bad.

Btw, 12 Angry Men is a great movie. I think I had it spoiled for me back in the day, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the movie, because it’s not so much about the conclusion, it’s the journey through their conversations and arguments that makes the movie so appealing. In fact, I think that most people watching that film will know exactly where it ends up and roughly how it gets there, but the execution is still so fucking good that it doesn’t even matter.

Btw, if you’re still in the mood for oooooold movies that are great, I would highly recommend Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) which is a silent film about an unfaithful man who decides to kill his loving wife in order to be with his mistress. What happens after that is, in my opinion, one of the best silent films ever made. Fantastic acting, emotional music and beautiful visuals. You forget that you’re watching a silent film where no one is saying a word. You forget that it is in black and white. You forget that you have seen a hundred years og technical improvement in film. You are reminded that actual skill and quality is timeless. It made me cry the first time I saw it. It just fucking wrecked me in a way I didn’t expect and it is legit on my favourite movies of all time. It’s old enough that you can watch it on youtube or some other video hosting site without issue. If there is any achievement in this world that I would be proud of, it’s to know that I helped someone find this move.

That’s a rude way to refer to the carpet floor, bro.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that getting banned from a sub is the same as having an entire account removed. It was my clumsy attempt to show how easy it is to get fucked over by reddit and that when some basic bitch like me can get banned from subs I never interacted with, it shows that the values of the site has slipped and that there isn’t far from small actions like that to suddenly removing long time users from the platform.

I should have been more specific. It just seems like reddit has rotted to the core and is run at all levels by losers who got a little bit of power and became tyrants with it.

I’d consider myself pretty fucking vanilla when it comes to how I behave online, and even I got permabans (not a whole account, but several subreddits). It really feels like you cannot speak about anything online anymore without everyone actively interpreting what you say in the least favorable way possible. I have experienced similar on Lemmy, but at least no one permabanned me for having an opinion yet, so that’s something at least.

I’ll take a few crazy assholes making weird accusations over being permabanned for no reason or worse: shadowbanned. Especially on youtube, I get the feeling that my comments are being shadowbanned on nearly every channel I comment on. It used to be that one could at least chat with other people in the comments on there, but within the last year, I just don’t get any reactions to anything I write anywhere. And I’m the type of bitch who watches cat videos, cake decoration videos and follow channels that cover media like movies and video games.

I have censored myself more, less curse words and such, but nothing helps. People simply don’t see my comments anymore. It’s such a bizarre feeling after having used youtube since it started in 2005 and all of a sudden feeling like I have been cut off from communicating with anyone despite still being able to comment and like videos.

One could also ask themselves: what appeal is there in being on a website that randomly bans you for breathing the wrong way?

I personally was beyond tired of having to walk on eggshells constantly, and while that will always be part of the nature of being online no matter who you are, it does get to a point on some platforms where you’re afraid of even posting anything of looking at a thread because it can get you banned by some anti-social loser whose mod status is the only place in their life where they have power. Its just tiring.

If these platforms want to play that game, let them. They can have fun becoming a social media platform entirely filled with bots after all the real people have gotten tired of their bs.

Where does it say that?

Nevermind, I found it xD all the outdoor pics are AI rendered. That’s very funny. I wonder what they are trying to hide.

thank you, my friend. Best part is that not a word of it is a lie. I still think of that dog regularly despite it being so long ago. It is simultaneously impressive and abominable that something as hideous and depraved as a tumor can grow inside such a pure and innocent creature. Even more impressive and abominable that some rich person would like to have a tumor-couch in their velour/velvet themed home. I shall never understand the absolute madness of ultra rich people. It has to be severe boredom. It just has to.

Really love the velour floor and leather couch combination. The couch is literally the same color and texture of a volleyball sized tumor a vet removed from a dog when I was interning in 8th grade.

The dog survived, btw. A deeply loved senior lab who came from a family of like five children so the parents decided to save him instead of putting him down.

I was tasked with getting him to eat and drink a little after he woke up from the anesthesia, but all he wanted was to crawl onto my lap and have me hug him and tell him that he was a brave boy. I’m not a dog person by nature, but that geriatric puppy almost converted me, dear lord. I’ll never forget that dog. Nor will I forget the tumor. The vet asked me if I wanted to see what cancer looked like on the inside and I said yes and he cut the tumor in half and that was the ugliest fucking thing I had ever seen in my entire 14 years of life at the time.

The fact that someone would use it as a design choice for a couch two decade later is fucking bizarre to me, but what ever, man.

Har selv været meget glad for Signal netop fordi det minder så meget om messenger og er nemt at bruge.

Men uanset hvad I ender med, så håber jeg I finder noget, der fungerer for jer :D
