"The BBC should pay creators to come to iPlayer"

I used to wonder what "English culture" those folks are trying to protect from Muslims, but nowadays I'm pretty sure it's Opal fruits, Marathon bars and naming your dog like the Dambusters

I am of course basing this on like five to seven specific old men who still somehow haven't quit Facebook yet

Maybe if you've ever complimented an AI generated babe for how well she's done despite her disability of three tits and six fingers, you *should* lose the right to vote ;)

Imagine believing that the name on a Taffy wrapper and the lack of bend in your banana is more important than your kids' futures.

"AI makes money off the work of real artists" says gaming youtuber whose career is reacting to games they didn't make.

Funny how many people complained about AI in gamedev now putting obvious chatgpt AI typography on everything they produce cos they think it's not noticeable, when it's probably the ugliest thing you could use it for

Okay sure, there are uglier things, but ykwim

Tell me you're hiring devs on contract for particularly interesting or difficult software projects in central Manchester cos I don't want to have to read more of these... Might finally set-up that market stall

It's like a parody, but they're literally all like that. Just let me make hard software and give me money please :D

I'm pretty sure it's unreasonable to be both on the side of not buying gas that comes from hostile governments (even if you buy it from a friendly third-party who takes a big cut) and on the side of not drilling for our own gas because of how few new jobs it creates (usually bs pipedream anyway).

I can think of many words (dozens, it turns out) for which their opposite is "dense", but none of them fit for: What is the opposite of dense?

I suppose it's not surprising so many game publishers keep trying to put ads into their games, but I never read/heard about anyone being paid to put Coca-cola in their book.

If Rockstar aren't tired of being furikake'd with money by now, they could just make every billboard in the city a real billboard, and still win every award at every show.

Relatively speaking, Games and Books are untouched by capitalism.

Spider-man: Whatever this one's called, might be the worst script of any movie ever. It's so bad it feels like ChatGPT 3.something outlined and wrote it, it's literally literalised every single scene+line. Did quite enjoy the action choreography tho, kinda shot+edited like Spider-man PS4 cutscenes.

The post-processing on his suit is a fucking travesty tho. It was obviously shot/lit moody, then bumped up the gamma and vibrance/saturation in post when they realised he was barely visible, so every single shot of Spidey looks like 1978's Superman, with obviously lazy unfeathered autoselections.

If you dial saturation beyond x1.15, it looks like a Bake-off episode, and you should lose your Photoshop (or unbranded/open source alternative) license, or be forced to only use the same 3 pieces of classical music (you know which ones) in your edits for all of eternity.

Designer friends. Some clever people have rebuilt all the Adobe suite in AI. Built on Rust they’re clones of all the major Adobe apps. They run on McOS and Linux and more apps are coming Bit ropey around the edges, these can only improve and release us from the grip of Adobe getartcraft.com/apps

I'll do it for 80k/yr.

It's barely 120m records, that don't need to be 'federated' anyway, tho I do have a user-owns/encrypts blockchain-backed system that gives patients complete control. I have experience running a password manager, and have no interest in a crystal ball that snoops on everyone.

It's not _quite_ "you could build that in a weekend", but £0.33B for a not-a-database is fucking insane.

Here's a good one: Looking-Glass.

These ones might be a _bit_ much :/

Well, no answers suggests either a) at least they're not absolutely trivial, or b) they're too obtuse, despite being easy once you know what you're looking for or c) my/image-skeets don't travel :p
