I’m thinking more about less clutter while reading

You can already do that in Lemmy and piefed - crossposts are listed at the top

We need a BadDataViz community…

Really? Nearly everyone I met there spoke excellent English…

Nah, because if if there’s a post that’s of interest to more than one community, and I’m only in one of those, then I probably don’t want to see comments from those other communities, because they will be related to topics/aspects that I’m not here for (otherwise I’d also be subscribed to those communities).

I think there is potentially a lot of value in having separate crossposts per community… E.g. if a link touches on multiple separate topics (say, cinematography and nature), then people visiting an cinematography community would probably prefer to see conversation related to their interest…

Agree that crossposts from similar communities (same name) across different servers should be merged though (although there probably should be a way for community mods to opt out of that…)

Get a cheap/pirated DAW with some basic synth plugins. I’d recommend starting with the most basic subtractive synth you can find, plus a sampler, and some basic effects (delay, reverb, distortion, chorus). Limit yourself to that until you understand everything they’re doing.

No accounting for taste

If more people owned their fuckups like this, the world would be a better place.

What is going on here?

I like non-generative AI. Early artificial life sims (e.g cellular automata) are super interesting, and machine learning and xAI are great for science.

Just not that big a fan of the infinite slop machine helping the rich get richer at the cost of degrading our knowledge base and arts

I don’t think that’s related to water use though, is it? Isn’t it just a weight of the city thing?

Edit: I was wrong, thanks for the corrections!

Fuck yeah

1. That they give a shit about other people, and contribute in some way to their community/society.
2. Capacity for/evidence of personal growth. This one’s not always easy to see, but it’s amazing when you do.

Also it’s building on top of existing fragility (the thin pillar below), and only making it worse

Ruben Bolling is so damn good.

Maybe? But I’d say it’s probably also quite common. Parent-child relationships are pretty intense at the best of times, and no one is perfect. No idea what your situation is, but it’s worth remembering that parenting is hard sometimes, and it’s easy to fuck up.

There are certainly less immoral companies though. Avoid arms manufacturers, fossil fuel, big tech, the police and chemical manufacturers, obviously.

There’s vaguely ethical jobs in manufacturing, retail, government (e.g. parks, urban maintenance), academia, the NGO sector, and many other spaces

I get the vibe that it’s a lot easier if you’re not in the US. I guess there are a few worse countries as well…

I don’t?
