Just livestream. Be ready to live stream. Test that live streaming works ahead of time. Have a lockdown mode setup on your phone. Remember to vote. Make sure some IRL friends and out of state comrades will how to find your live stream. Make sure people know you’re out and expecting you back in group chats.

I kind of think the 2000s were better in this regard? It was much easier to not know those types of websites exist, let alone ignore those websites, and also to be anonymous on the internet back then then it is now.
The only thing better in the post-2010 world for me is that my parents don’t gatekeep my money.
If anything, facebook/reddit/IRL Christians are all functionally 4channers and KiwiFarmers now.
absolutely fucking hate it
you could make an optional feature on a lemmy client that would show a randomly generated profile pic (e.g. dicebear) for users who did not upload one
I doubt any of them are real. It’s clear to me that whoever makes these aren’t even watching them first to make sure they make any sense at all. The guy just walks in after stealing? They drove a car all the way up to the front-door but there’s no tracks in the snow? It’s probably a fully automated setup. Or maybe this was the best out of 10 prompt attempts. It wouldn’t surprise me if most videos don’t break even on the AI cost, but a handful going viral and the pages/channels eventually getting subscribers from principled slop connoisseurs most likely makes this financially viable.
we’re doing the same thing, but with claude
had they not done it at the time, it is likely that someone else would have done it anyway not long after?
I think it’s a safe assumption that most inventions would have been invented by someone else, the opposite is usually the more notable exception. Some things may have been invented and forgotten by history multiple times because of random things like there was no supply chain for copper/steel/coal or w/e back then.
can always respect someone with a well balanced ideology
when I make a meme, I don’t make money.
when I make an AI “”“art”“”, water and power is wasted and datacenters are funded which stocastically increases the cost of residential electricity for regular people.
IDK anything about the liabilities of companies using memes in marketing materials (I assume it’s a legal gotcha that only 0.000001% of uses get punished for).
However, companies using AI art is about using work by artists and stiffing artists. There is the cultural loss of real art in products and the economic loss of jobs.
lol FOSS is winning, if you’re paying $20/month/seat for every calculator app that you might use once, you’re probably the looser.
Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn’t able to use them to their full potential.
Android Desktop is actually pretty nice, the thing that makes it useless is that basically no android apps have desktop mode or hotkeys and mouse support (Chrome is half-assed and Firefox is wearing assless chaps) plus a lot of standard I-just-want-linux things are going to be wonky. If you’re considing buying any hard-ware for the purpose of Android Desktop, you’re almost always better off buying a laptop at the same $100-$400 price.
AR is pretty much dead on arrival for at least a decade because everyone willing to make the tech to back it up wants to give you a walled garden of ads (like replacing billboards with their own adds, adding animated ads to whatever blank surface you see, and whatever app you’re using) and the only people who are willing to buy it at >$1000, 1>lbs, and early adopter quality only want it for business/hacker/utilitarian/gamer/influencer reasons who have a very low tolerance for ads and login-with-your-big-brother-account-walls meaning the supply/demand chart is like 5 total sales for actual Homo Economicus.
Applebees it

I also didn’t like the “I’m going to fuck off and let everyone else die” philosophy of not solving the climate issue at home.
No Country For Old Men - a slice of life movie about living in Texas.
S Darko was interesting because at it’s core it’s about the fact that women have to deal with twice as much bullshit
Interstellar is like Neo-Posadism minus Marxism. The premise was awesome. Climate apocalypse and space travel. But the movie doesn’t have humanity solve either of those problems. Instead it pops it’s collar and says *don’t worry bro, the market Marxist space aliens some scientists a famous shirtless hot actor guy fuck you who cares the green guy behind a curtain made a worm hole or something".
You can always write native apps or use rust. I don’t recommend doing that unless perfectionism/being esoteric/learning is more important to you than just making the webapp.
The main issue with fb/TikTok is the 9 billion trackers and ads. So step 1. Don’t do that.
Svelte/SolidJS are smaller/faster than react/ vue. React has the most tutorials, but I think vue is the easiest to learn.
Next, while working on your app (probably all of those use “vite” instead of web pack by now) meticulously watch your build size. Avoid installing giant dependencies if you can. If you have lots of options, pick libraries that are tree-shake-able. rollup-plugin-visualizer will help you visualize which Javascript file(s)/ dependencies are big. You’d be see surprised how many webapps that is basically 10kb of functionality ends up being 1MB of Javascript.
If your webapp is small you probably don’t need to think too much more about this, but you could probably ask others to critique your code later.
