But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

    It's cowardly self-defense, really. No judgment, though, since I am a privileged white cisman and I will never truly know what it's like to be demonized and forced to legitimize my existence in every step I take.

  • If you want to be funny about it, you could say that I have made love to my love doll by banging it. It is of a cute design, which can make me feel that it's pretty. But that's about it. It's a cute looking tool that imitates humans, used to relieve horniness. I think that AI/LLMs are similar. Under the hood, they are nothing more than tools that index information according to any chosen predetermined algorithm and rearrange and present it in a way that gives the illusion of having genuine generative properties. Just as my love doll gives me the impression that it is cute in a human way, AI is made to respond in ways that give the impression of reciprocating love. But it isn't. I think your friend - and a lot the youth of today - just live on the dopamine kicks that the clever imitations induce.

  • Is the dead internet already a reality?

    Jump

  • Matter of perspective. Earlier today, I told a coworker how happy I am to have been born in the late 1980's, because it spared me from the internet culture of today: shallow, exploitative, otherizing and it encourages short term dopamine kicks. It's a breeding ground for media illiteracy, bigotry, xenophobia and narrow mindedness in general - which is ironic, since it also makes the culminated knowledge of human kind easily accessible, which has the potential to open your mind if you have internet access and if you use the internet wisely. Anyway, in a way, the internet of today is a crystalization of everything that's making me have a gloomy outlook on the future and keeping me from wanting to have children.

  • Soundtrack for these dark times?

    Jump

  • If and when I want to feel political listening to music, it's mostly RATM or some down to earth 90's black rap, such as Wu-Tang Clan (I'm white though). Occasionally I drink a few and sing Bella Ciao until my voice gives out.

    Otherwise, nowadays, I'm mostly depressed (clinically) and I often just flee into some darksynth like Perturbator.

  • When, by whom and how was this horn made?

  • Can't argue with the fact that it partially is true.

  • That's crazy. As in, amazing! Love etymology! :)

  • Wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this! If there is any truth at all to what it says on the Etsy page, it should be from around the 1950's maximum. I figured it's not the work of anybody prominent in the crafting circles, since, as you said, it all feels quite simplistic. My mother just pointed out that the horn itself could be from "simple" domesticated cow/bull. No offense, dear cows. 🐄🐃.

  • If abortion gets legalized, then renouncing paternity should be allowed too, to ensure equality?

  • Should I switch to Qobuz or Tidal for music streaming?

    Jump

  • But in all seriousness, I've been using Tidal through USB Audio Player with an Audioquest DAC on an Android phone for the past five years and listening to music with this setup feels like an effing privilege. Would I have chosen today, I might have gone with Qobuz because it's a European product, but at this point, as long as I don't find out that the people at Tidal are monsters, I don't think I will switch to anything else.

  • I believe that was the T-16, I could be wrong though 🤔

  • Anyone else about ready to give up on tech?

  • Accepte the grief. Then, turn it into rage and fuel the post cybercapitalist revolution.

    And/or, connect to my Tor bridge. It somewhere here 👇 https://bridges.torproject.org/options

    Also, yes to everything you said about the "analog" stuff. I'm all in. :) Too bad my country has removed 2G :( (except for it being insecure)

    Finally, do not have tech as a main hobby. Make it a side project tops.

  • Haven't checked my low level sound drivers in a long time - I'm using pipewire and wireplumber to control it all. Is ALSA still there at the bottom/as a dependency? Arch btw.
