That doesn’t make the software take up more space on a drive. Optimizing is likely to result in a slightly larger install that runs more efficiently.

A watchlist is a reminder that I wanted to watch something at some point in time, but like most things, I won’t ever do it.

Understanding the other side doesn’t mean there will be a common ground. Understanding nazis doesn’t mean there is common ground to share with them.

Exluding intolerance doesn’t result in an echo chamber.

The advertsising will eventually become required and features that actually benefit users that are expensive to maintain will be removed because that is the parh of enshittificstion.

A polished turd is still polished!

Some human stories are plagiarized.

Most human stories are similar to other stories without being plagiarized.

ALL AI stories are plagiarized.

Musicians pay the current owner of the samples, which is occasionally the original creator. They don’t just get to sample anything at any time.

If the intent is to make it sound like another person is involved in the song, then they should have the choice about whether their likeness is used. Audio impersonation is equivalent to visual impersonation.

Note: humorous additions like obvious caricatures are the exception

Really good photography is actually pretty hard and the best photographers are in high demand.

It involves a ton of settings for the camera, frequently post processing to balance out anything that wasn’t perfect during the shoot. Plus there is a ton of blocking, lighting, and if doing portraits and other planned shoots there is a lot of directing involved in getting the subjects to be in the right positions/showing the right emotions, etc. Even shooting nature requires a massive amount of planning and work beyond a few camera settings.

Hell, even stock photos tend to be a lot of work to set up!

If you think that someone taking a photo in focus with adequate lighting and posted it to instagram is the same as professional photography, then you have no idea what is involved.

You could have kept your pie hole shut when you saw that there was a response that clarified what I wasn’t seeing.

Exactly this!

I’ve seen your other comments, and it seems like you’re sour over getting downvoted because you weren’t able to notice a subtle difference that’s not easily obvious.

No, I am sour because people can’t fucking read and insert what they think I’m saying instead of responding to what I wrote.

They can be anti Russia and still end up being an apologist in the moment by coming up with excuses why a country that constantly violates ceasefires violated yet another ceasefire.

If the outside temp is hotter there is no need to heat and if it is cooler there is no need to cool, because the house will even out with the temp.

It is slightly more complicated because of sunlight heating the building, but there is no need to spend energy changing the temp a few degrees when it will happen due to changes in temps outside. Like there isn’t a need to run the AC in the evening shortly before dark if it is only a couple degrees too warm inside because it will cool off on uts own pretty quickly.

But that’s not what it looks like to you. It’s what you remembered it looking like. If it looked like that to you, you’d have a completely different experience of discord than anyone else. I didn’t downvote or anything, but you basically said “you’re wrong”, but they were correct.

No, I did NOT say that nor did I imply that. It is also pretty fucking arrogant of you to asssume everyone notices and remembers everything. Fuck, I even posted screen shots to show I tried to check to see what I was missing!

Being an apologist for Russia is certainly a look.

No, I don’t think I will.

I was incorrect about what something looked like to me?

Ok.

Because they’re incorrect.

I said:

That looks like screenshot from any user to me.

Apparently I’m wrong about what something looks like to me.
