Addenda to the message: There are always options. You don't have to pick one with the nicest font.

A message for every company that mindlessly shills AI and thinks it doesn't have any downsides: I make this kind of decision a lot nowadays

could have chosen notion but they lick AI's boots so I pick obsidian instead

Still annoyed about this. Just walk outside and take a photo on your phone. Set it on macro mode and shoot something up close. Collage some old magazines. Message someone on Deviant art and offer them a few dollars. License a stock art photo. Find an artist and suggest a collaboration.

Listening to a playlist on Youtube.
Decide to buy the tracks to support the artists.
See their Bandcamp full of Midjourney album covers
Close window.
Nevermind.

Tegnap este egy furcsa gondolatom volt, hogy zenét akarok írni, mert miért ne. Ma reggel megmaradt ez az érzésem, úgyhogy letöltöttem egyet. @gargaj.umlaut.hu Köszi a tanácsokat!

Out of curiosity, on average how many consumable items do you still have after the last boss fight in any given video game?

MTV is shutting down its music channels across Europe by December 2025 as the network shifts focus to reality TV.

between this and the ICE ads on Spotify, YouTube randomly doing AI edits of creator's videos without their consent, and the U.S. government taking over TikTok, I think I'll just get really into collecting music on CDs and start bringing books with me everywhere again.

Polling people whether they should do that would inevitably come out 60-40.

If you flip it around, you sometimes need to read contracts, but in turn you get to make silly bleeps for a living.

For me it was simply the cold, if my feet stick out the bed I start to get cold and then I start randomly sneezing and it startles the monsters under the bed.

These spam mails are WEIRD.

A spam mail trying to sell "electronic components" and "industrial controllers" saying that "it is our greatest honor to find such a strong & professional distributor like you".

You know, for a place that's all about creativity and counter-culture, it's shocking how many people in the demoscene just willingly cave in and defend the use of GenAI, one of the most corporate "tools" that anyone could've ever came up with.

Feel free to ping later about that, I can help.

Yeah that's fine, the deduplication's main purpose is to just make sure that if you change something you only have to change it in one place, not two places doing the same exact thing - less errorprone, but not necessary.

Gargaj @gargaj.umlaut.hu · 2d

Right right, sorry, misread the initial post.

Other than that, I think if the event just runs all the same nodes, then that's fine? Maybe you can pull them together in a function for some code deduplication, but that's just tidiness.
