Did you read the article? "MCU" appears nowhere in it and Sony is mentioned 10+ times. This has nothing to do with the MCU whatsoever.

Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

It scratches my scrolling itch. I haven't really been back to Reddit other than when Google lists Reddit as the best choice for some info I need. But I've really enjoyed KBin and the communities that are popping up here. I hope it continues to grow.

This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too...what a waste of time

Yep. On the grand scale it doesn't matter if this comment was pre-determined or if I genuinely made the free choice to write it. What matters is that, to me, the illusion of free will is complete. There is nothing other than my belief that I am free to affect my own existence.

As Rush once said, even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

They should absolutely exist. Negative feedback is feedback, and expression of only one side of the emotional spectrum is a strange and unrealistic facsimile of actual life.

It's hilarious to me that people are willing to accept that technology can come as far as producing an LLM of the caliber of ChatGPT, but they can't fathom that it will continue to iterate and get better. It may be "bad" at certain writing styles right now, but give it some time. Think about how far it's already come for us to even be having this conversation.

Damn they won't make me magnetic? That would be useful, I could avoid dropping screws and bits every time I do a project.

Yeah these alternate platforms are always nice in the early days - the early adopters tend to be like-minded at least in the sense of trying to build a nice community. Hopefully this place stands up to time better than some of the others have over the years.

It's to be expected during the transition period. Honestly if that's what it takes to get users over here, I say more power to them.

I personally don't mind seeing a link to the artist's patreon or website or whatever on a post, as long as it's not over the top or inserted clearly as an ad for whatever is being sold. I feel like it's OK for that to be there for the people who want to see more of your work or purchase something. What I don't like to see is my feed getting filled with what I perceive as advertisements. So I think there is a happy middle ground.
