Unfortunately, that really doesn't seem to be true. YT is a monopoly, they do what they want. None of my friends use Firefox, despite me telling them that ad blockers still work on it. They could spend 3 minutes switching to Firefox and losing some of the niche features they have on Opera GX or whatever they hell they use, or they could just watch the occasional 5-second ad. They just don't care enough. I imagine most users are more than likely like that.

AI art has a very real place in current society. It's very useful, and is absolutely going to get better and become a normal part of the future. We're not going to avoid it, so we should work on making AI less morally fucked. The technology isn't the problem, the people behind it are. Rather than stealing art, the multi-million/billion-dollar companies behind these models need to pay artists for every single piece of art they use in their models.

Did you even read what I said? I agree with you there. But technically, and I'm only bringing this up because you originally did, it is an accusation.

This particular case is, technically, an accusation, though. Even if we're all just about certain that it's true.

"[It] sucks they're banning..."

Probably autocorrect or something like that, it's not that hard to figure out.

Nobody likes voting for the lesser of two evils, but we all have to if we want to stop an even further decline into hell. Our system is broken, and we don't have any way of fixing it immediately, so we have to work with what we can. Trump as president will have immediate and direct consequences for many people, and it will be the fault of people like you that it happened. At this point, not voting for Biden is the same thing as voting for Trump. You may continue virtue signaling after we get through the crisis right in front of us.

One of the more highly upvoted comments on the original thread just posted this link, and I don't think it could be more apt.

BlockTheSpot + Spicetify esentially gives you spotify premium for free. No lyrics, and no downloads, but otherwise most premium features are completely free.

That said, I'm considering switching to Deezer, but they do have some missing songs, which is unfortunate.

For the vast, vast majority of Doom (2016) players who have never played Doom (1993), they would probably completely disagree.

I think it makes more sense to refer to the more relevant, popular, and well-known game as Doom and just refer to the other as "the original Doom" or Doom (1993). Especially since that's what the store page does, as the other person made clear on the 2016 end, and this store page should make clear on the 1993 end.

The idea of a minimum wage without a maximum wage is odd to me to begin with.

What the ultrarich just heard: "So you're okay with us getting rid of minimum wage, then!"

Man, Elon really does ruin everything. Can't even use X as a variable anymore without a disclaimer.

Humanity successfully landed another object safety on a celestial object hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Earth. Of course that's impressive.

Plus, they succeeded where Russia failed, which is at least mildly amusing.
