I looked up this article about it after googling the lyrics. Sounds like there was much more backlash after the music video dropped which has now been pulled from some streaming sites.
The bigger controversy was filming at a courthouse famous for lynching and using BLM protest footage in the video.
Interesting, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, humans haven’t changed much over the eons.
Any recommendations for true disaster videos? That sounds y up my alley.
It concerns me that we’re seeing this more and more in industry. Middle fingers to regulations because when you have enough money, it doesn’t matter.
And it took AN HOUR per ant AFTER getting the process down. This person spent over an entire work week shaving ants.
I’m just imagining dinner conversation with their partner that week discussing their progress for the day.
Why are they collecting financial information??
And it’s not like we learn this stuff in school. It’s not written out anywhere. We have to rely on word of mouth, people with experience, or people like the commenter above you who are familiar with the ins and outs.
The bottom line is that it is complicated on purpose and designed to wear you out so you don’t get coverage for your most basic human needs - like peeing without your urethra being on fire.
To add on to this - computers used to run on DOS commands. What made them mainstream was creating a UI which allowed a layperson to use it. So now a graphic designer can focus on artwork rather than needing to understand computer backend.
Similarly, we’re floating around windows '93 or something.
The way I see - we’re the early adopters who can both see the potential and can also affect real change. We’ll be the ones paving the way for future users. For me, figuring out how software works is like a puzzle to me and I find it fun. However, my sibling would find this site completely unusable because their brain doesn’t find this fun, they find this sort of thing overwhelming and complicated.
I’d love to see a mass migration, but without some more user-friendly tools, it’s going to be us nerdy folks having fun in our new sandbox.
I’m not going to insult people for being ignorant about something, because that’s literally the default state of being a person.
Well stated. I try to keep this in mind, or assume this until proven otherwise.
I thought I heard recently there was talk about making the fediverse API more friendly towards existing 3p reddit apps so that it wouldn’t be as much work. Though I can’t recall a source atm. I’d be curious to see if that did happen if the 3p devs would make the change.
Is AI capable of this? My gut is that there is still too much nuance for AI to be successful, that it won’t be able to adapt to changing circumstances as a subreddit community evolves for example. Are we at that point with AI technology?
One of my favorites too, subscribed! I probably should start a few, there’s definitely some I’ll miss having regular access to.
Yes, very much this. I was able to reach out to a very small community before this blew up and the advice I got there was extremely impactful to a sensitive issue I’m navigating with my family.
It’s really the thing I’m most upset about losing.
It’s difficult to find spots to congregate and commiserate online when you or someone you love has an experience only shared with 0.1% of the population.
1 out of 1,000 and then only if they also want to talk about it.
If reddit still exists, and if I go back to it at all, that would be the only reason.
I kind of want all the users to wipe their comments and burn it down like the library of Alexandria. Then spez can’t mine it for AI.
I hate losing the window into humanity, but it would be insanely satisfying to watch the fire burn.
No, it just feels like that because you can’t keep it up anymore.
