As cool as I think the knapping and clay working mechanics are, I also quickly decided that they were tedious. I do mean to get back to it though since I didn't get much further than that, and I definitely missed a lot of what is there. Maybe playing solo did it no favors.

You gotta host your own instance so that when it disappears you can only be disappointed in yourself.

There's plenty of art that I don't value the human element of at all. I don't think any of the Corporate Memphis blob people on tech sites or the designs on a billboard are "sacred," for instance, but they are unambiguously art. If you do these things with generative AI, I won't regret the loss of human involvement.

Art done to express something human will never go away as long as people feel a need to express themselves that way. Companies will hire fewer graphics designers, true, but I don't really give a fuck to be honest.

I also think means-testing serves mostly to create resentment instead of a society that we are all bought into and able to reap the benefits of.

I think if you blocked the person who posted this you'd see a big reduction. It's usually the same account posting Musk news.

Yeah, I was just taking the challenge of trying to rationalize it.

By FAR the biggest impact on range in the winter for me is climate control.

Not very well! But things can improve, and I appreciate the gesture.

You know, instance admins can find out who is downvoting and upvoting by checking the database. It doesn't have to be a mystery if you stand up your own instance. You don't even have to use it primarily, just get it federating your comments.
