I’d like to share this inspirational quote by Basquiat who OD’d aged 27:
“They tell me that the drugs are killing me, then I stop, and then they say my art’s dead.”

When I was a kid, me and some buddies went to a monster truck show. We all were desperate to drive one someday.
Well, I guess that day has come for most of us but me. I hate them now.

Morpheus:

You think that’s air you’re breathing?

Me, too. Used to have it quite often. GP said it comes from bad posture. So I changed that, and also started working out more. It went away for good.

The Smithsonian has a Bigfoot skeleton on display?

Is that you, GG Allin?

I’m guessing ℵ₁ years, give or take.

I’ve been using it as a sort of litmus test for AI images. Even at a high quality setting, AVIF compresses them down to almost nothing.
Something to do with the lack of natural “jitter” in AI images and the way AVIF has been designed to perfectly deal with this.

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.

Explain, please.

Lo-Fi certainly certainly has an appeal all its own.
The reason why GBV’s Vampire on Titus sounds the way it does is precisely because they treated sound quality as an afterthought. Makes it unlistenable to some, a diamond in the rough to others. To me, it’s the greatest underground album of the '90s. As Jason Hernandez once so brilliantly put it: “[The album] conjures up mazes of crushed basement beer cans. […] What keeps us coming back are all the solid tunes beneath the grime. This is great, unsettling cartoon-land psychedelic pop from front to back. […] Several classics lurk in this murk.”

That’s no moon.

“Is overtaking?” Sorry buddy, that point lies in the past. China dominates nearly all of the relevant future technologies and is still ramping up its investments. There’s no stopping them now.

Is his first name “Bugs”?

Is that Peter Thiel?

spez is a frigging billionaire. What other principle than making money could possibly have guided him to this point?

Considering how “ban evaders,” even when changing devices, moving to different countries and setting up new accounts, are getting miraculously detected and swiftly banned again, I doubt anybody has even a shred of privacy on Reddit.

Exactly this. The bots are coming from inside the house.

Fantastic. That should be a post of its own.
