    thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).

    But, not all AI is corporate run, there’s plenty of AI models to choose from that are open source including image generation models

    And actually, image generation models are much easier to run on “affordable” consumer hardware than LLMs

    I have a Pixel Pro 9 fold and the original Pixel Fold before it. Frankly, for me, it’s like going multi-monitor for the first time. I can’t go back.

    It fills all my tablet use cases while also being a tablet that I actually have on me whenever I need it. I’ve had so many tablets over the years, in all manner of sizes. They all collected dust in a matter of a couple weeks because I would always forget them or forget to charge it or it just wasn’t near me when I wanted it.

    My biggest use case is remoting into desktops on the go, a boon for WFH though it isn’t perfect because I have yet to find an remote desktop app that fully takes advantage of the split screen functionality.

    Though it’s not Samsung with their fancy productivity focused features, I still find having 1 app on each side to be very useful, especially when I’m on a Lemmy posting binge LMAO

    I also play !runescape@lemmy.world and !2007scape@lemmy.world from time to time and I love the extra space

    Movies and shows are a meh, the aspect ratios are…weird and you don’t gain as much size as you think because of the resulting black bars. But I’ve never been one to watch TV and movies on my phone like that, except on a plane

    52

    I’ll be 70 when they’ll turn 18.

    To put it bluntly, yes. This is a terrible mistake. The chances of you just dying before they even turn 18 is much higher than if you had been say 32 or even 40. Even if you don’t die what if you have the Alzheimers ticking time bomb? You might be alive but struggling to remember even your eldest

    Parenting isn’t just about getting from 0-18, it’s also about watching them grow beyond that and lead their own lives. With a bit of luck, you’ll be somewhat ok cognitively till 75/80 and if you take care of yourself physically decently mobile but that gets you to, them being 23/28

    On the plus side, you’re probably completely financially stable at this point so… there’s that




  • I crosspost what I can from .ml comms to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm as part of ongoing efforts to boycott and reduce .ml’s influence on the wider Lemmy-verse because of the Tankie ideology the admin team of that instance enforce through censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes and allowing known propaganda outlets (such as RT) to fester (see !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for what evidence and documentation has been gathered thus far)

    That being said, everything else I crosspost is still visible as a crosspost via the crosspost icon that shows on posts.

    Text posts like this are tricky since there’s no URL for the crosspost system to track and I don’t want to leave the link in place because that would make things too easy and possibly work in counter to my efforts. So to that end, I feel tagging the user is sufficient credit. People still know it’s some form of a crosspost, I’m not the OOP, and they know the name of the OOP should they really want to go to the original post





  • Hah, don’t try to play the reasonable middle-ground card with me.

    American political parties do not define political perspective globally. U can have conservative views and still hate what the us conservative party is doing.

    Sure, hide behind semantics. I’m clearly talking about conservatism as an ideology - the same ideology that opposes progress and protects hierarchies of power worldwide. Whether it’s the US Republican party, the UK Tories, or Australia’s Liberal party - it’s all built on the same foundations of preserving privilege for some at the expense of others.

    Not at all I hate people who oppose freedom and equality of opportunity.

    Bull. The policies your “side” keeps pushing TARGET specific groups of people - immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, Black and brown communities. Don’t pretend it’s about some noble principle when the outcomes keep hurting the same people over and over.

    That’s the same thing as what Hitler promised.

    Are you seriously comparing leftist policies to Nazism? This is peak bad-faith argument. Hitler used promises of “equality” as a very thin veneer to scapegoat Jews and other minorities. Hitler’s “equality” was only (and openly) for his defined “master race” - it was exclusionary by design. Leftist policies aim to include everyone in their benefits. In some cases the same tactics the right uses today, Hitler was far closer to today’s right-wingers than left

    The left says the exact same thing for the exact same reasons just they point the hate at different groups of people.

    No, we don’t. Being intolerant of intolerance isn’t the same as hating someone for their identity. Calling out bigotry isn’t “hate” - it’s accountability. I refuse to accept this false equivalence.

    Equality of opportunity or equality of outcome cos those are 2 very different things.

    This talking point is so tired. There IS no “equality of opportunity” when systemic barriers exist from birth. Your side loves to pretend we’re all starting on equal footing when that’s demonstrably false.

    I’m in Australia where we have free healthcare

    Oh, so you enjoy the benefits of “leftist” policies while arguing against them? How convenient. And yes, your healthcare system IS better than our nightmare - because it operates on COLLECTIVE responsibility rather than individual “freedom.”

    So why align with any political group if u know they are all the same playing the same games.

    They’re not all the same, and that was my entire point about. What they lie ABOUT matters.

    When progressive leaders lie, they’re promising universal healthcare, living wages, and equal rights they might not be able to deliver. When conservative leaders lie, they’re just literally scapegoating immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and minorities for all of society’s problems.

    I align with the side that at least has to PRETEND to care about making everyone’s lives better, not the side that openly campaigns on making certain people’s lives worse. The fact that you can’t see this difference proves you’re not the “free thinker” you claim to be.

    Both sides have corruption and liars, but only one side has to appeal to basic human decency to get votes. That’s why it matters who supports whom, even knowing politicians will more likely than not disappoint me.

    I never said I believe the lies

    Yet here you are, repeating every conservative talking point in the book. You claim to be above it all while pushing the exact rhetoric that maintains the status quo.

    Save your “both sides” nonsense for someone who’ll fall for it. I’m not interested.



  • Hah, no. When I look at the conservative party all I see is hate, hate and more hate.

    You hate the people that are different from you or whoever you’re told to hate. You spend so much time dressing up this hate to make it more palatable for yourself and others, but if you peel it all away, that’s what really drives you and your fellow conservatives and it is just shameful.

    At least with the tankies, what they do, they do because it’ll bring true equality (or at least that’s what they’re led to believe).

    The reign pullers for conservatives tells you to vote for them, support them, spread propaganda for them to hate on a group because some group deserves your hate for one inane reason or another.

    The reign pullers for tankies have to get their support by promising good things like equality, the banishment of the rich, full unalienable human rights to include healthcare.

    Yea the reign pullers are lying, they always do that on all sides, but what they have to lie to you about to get you to do the things they want you to do MATTERS.

    And the lies they feed you, are disgusting.
