You like what you like, but if you stan corporations enclosing our own culture and renting it back to us, that's political.

Does it? He certainly worked with a lot of talented artists, and I guess he did think of doing Hero's Journey but in space.

I'm not denigrating the art, but something about the popularity contest tastemaking rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah I've got a buttonless reader that I got as a gift and I'm thankful to have it but it sucks. Give me buttons.

Especially as it gets older and slower now I'll give it swipe or tap and wonder, did it register and it's just taking a while...? should I try again? five more times?? oh you've really got to let your finger linger I guess? no? huh that worked last t--oh! It's going! Oh shoot this is way too far.. so now I just have to swipe.. back.., -_-

Ah I see. Did you ever find your source? Now I'm curious too.

I think you replied to the wrong comment, sounds cool though

Very much so but hard to put into words. It's like from which angle they're coming in and predating upon my fellow humans. Like which legal systems or economies they're using.

OpenAI is also fresher, while apple has simmered for a while.

I guess I'm not European so I don't know that much about this process. It sounded serious, but if it can be postponed then yeah postpone.

I agree. I guess what I didn't say is that I do a bunch of work on the clock in order to ensure 99% of my responsibilities are covered. And then even the other 0.9% my coworkers can just deflect or work around.

But if a situation arises that actually hurts people imo that is no longer a work issue but a humanity issue, and if my fellows can't handle it then I do want to be made aware.

If this a regular occurrence then there needs to be some way to block or mitigate the damage, so that people can go on vacation and not worry they're coming back to a mess.

I mean how are there not people in your office, people you work next to, people who know about which issues you ought to be made aware of, that can reach out to you?

I hate them with like different flavours.

Right there should be, but there isn't, so until there is they need to have someone from their office on the spot to field important stuff like this.

I don't want to be bothered while on vacation either, but if something happens at work that needs my specific attention someone will find me.

For fuck's sakes we can't be taking server rooms more seriously than democracy.
