    If it’s not a part of capitalism, they don’t think it matters. If doesn’t directly make them a profit, it shouldn’t be done. Housework isn’t labor. Activism isn’t labor. Love only helps them sell products. They want people to have kids so they have more young workers, but letting people become financially secure enough to have them would hurt their profits.

    They want robots to replace manual labor and AI to replace mental labor so they don’t have to deal with us. They want productivity without paying for labor, because earning money without doing labor isn’t enough apparently. It is morally correct to take their money because they only got it by underpaying us for our work. Every day we don’t take it from them, they’re taking it from us.

      also, every day we only take a little.

      and they’re taking more than our money. they’re literally burning our futures for their bullshit.

      find their bunkers, sabotage everything you can.

      or their houses, and be a little more sensible about it.

    I wonder how much junk was created just because a device didn’t support the latest version of HDCP.

    I’ll never get how these ‘people’ think it’s a good idea to control culture like this. You fuckers hurt too! You won’t magically get real music or art if you make it impossible to make it

    I love when an artist that I’ve thought of as not having strong opinions (or not wanting to share) shares strong opinions, it reminds me that they are people /srs

    note

    this can of course go the wrong way when those opinions are concerning but lemmy seems to think this is not one of those cases

    actually I think I just like being surprised by people but I already wrote the comment and sunk cost fallacy

      Randall Monroe helped radicalize me as a teenager and I didn’t even realize it was radical. Like of course information wants to be free! And of course techno feminism makes sense. And of course dvorak is the superior keyboard layout.

      Also his cancer comics were at one point the most stabilizing part of a particularly unstable part of my young life.

          Idk the 00s? I get the arguments for colemak but Dvorak has a certain elegance to it that’s unsurpassed. I like my vowel row.

            I just realized that I’ve been using Dvorak for longer than I was using qwerty before that.

            And I wonder if it’s why I don’t have carpel tunnel problems despite pretty much living on my PC. Though I’m also the type to find a comfortable position regardless of my posture, which might help with wrist health. I’m not really sure why my back doesn’t kill me at this point when my posture has been horrible all my life.

            But yeah, I find typing on Dvorak is just comfortable.

              Yeah I switched in college when my wrists started hurting. My wrists are fine now despite typing a lot and doing other stuff that’s hard on them like bicycle repair. It solved the problem in months. And all it cost me was the ability to function in a QWERTY world. It does always get me nerd cred with IT departments though.

            Fair enough! My vaguely uninformed impression is that dvorak does a lot of hand alternating which is good for typewriters but not necessarily keyboard typing. Either way I learned Colemak DH mod and I am NOT learning yet another layout that shit took me 3 months

              The hand alternating is actually supposed to be for ergonomics and typing rhythm. It’s one of the perks imo. But yeah that’s totally fair. And colemak has its advantages, I hear it’s easier to pick up, and someone like me would probably have benefited from it being less different from QWERTY as I lost my QWERTY abilities. But I too am not spending another 3 months learning a new layout

                It’s kinda funny, I use a qwerty layout on my phone without problem, but I have to concentrate really hard to type on a qwerty keyboard layout to avoid dropping back into Dvorak.

                  Yeah! It’s annoying the hell out of me as I’m troubleshooting what’s going wrong with my home assistant setup. Let me use my superior layout.

                  But yeah I think it really comes down to muscle memory. I know what action produces what letter and don’t even have to think to spell it all out. I just think words and can tap them out on my phone or keyboard without looking at the keys.

    this is cool and all, but curious as to why this is formatted for phones, you could’ve just cut out like 50% of the height and it would be fine.
