Got a few side-quests done tonight in Dust: An Elysian Tail! Currently sitting at 62% completion! I played for a couple hours on Steam Deck and only managed to use 40% of the battery!
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie? Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie? Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie? Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect them.
It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.
Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.
And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.
@rysiek If you consider Audiobook Narrators to be artists and audiobooks to be art (I do, honestly, on both counts), then here is a link to my catalogue of high heat audiobooks:
@AdaraAstin I absolutely do consider audiobooks art and audiobook narrators artists. Many books get a completely new shine, new depth, in an audiobook version!
@bookbook Merci, le fediverse fonctionne 😁. J’ai eu peur de pas les recevoir car ils sont arrivés 2 jours après que je sois parti en vacances (heureusement qu’on ne partait qu’une semaine, sinon le colis serait reparti 😅).
@deafmutex@porthos@startrek Yes, the right to the first 10 movies at that point belonged to Viacom, who made them under license from CBS. But that's neither here or there to what Discovery was doing.
Someone @technology suggested this site, I’m a bit surprised by the services offered as alternatives to the big tech companies. Very nice overview. https://european-alternatives.eu
Just had my son diagnosed. I lied and said we were getting further advice about his dyslexic strengths and weaknesses. Because I didn't want to tell him unless we were sure as being an adolescent is hard enough.
What's a really good resource that I can use to help explain what it means?
@GGroslier Sympa ! Moi je crois que c’était Mario Bros sur NES ou Yoshi’s Cookie sur GameBoy (probablement Mario Bros, mais difficile d’en être sûr, mais parents ont oublié et moi j’étais trop jeune pour m’en rappeler 😅).
I wish I could return to a time when video games didn't feel like chores. Looking at most of the games on my computer, and they are all live-service games which take up too much of my time.
I need to quit starting games that don’t have a defined beginning, middle, and end.
Maybe I will take August off from video games which are ongoing services.
