2·1 year agoFor sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.
2·1 year agoThat’s a good point. I do like the history though.

ChatGPT, Midjourney, Copilot and Spotify. Considering swapping Spotify for YouTube.
Edit: forgot usenet, and some indexers.
Launchbox for roms, Komga for comics, calibre for books, kodi and plex for movies. Organizr for the cacophony of webapps.
The one that gets me is photos of screens instead of screenshots. And not like a crashed 3ds or a blue screen. Like in a game or an app where the screenshot button was right there 🙃
I struggle with this line of thinking because there are so many legal things people can do to increase their probability of being a burden in the national healthcare system. Alcohol, junk food, working too much, gambling too maybe. I can’t wrap my head around a system that would be “fair” and not fall into a black mirror episode dystopian “good citizen” points system. I’d rather just pay more than my fair share, knowingly subsidise people who make bad choices, and not live in the dystopian society.
Theres a separate argument about the drugs increasing crime probability that I also don’t buy entirely. Those crimes are crimes already, so making these other “precrimes” also crimes seems a bit weird - not to mention wildly ineffective at reducing harm or use of the substances in question. I’m sure we can identify books and films that increase future criminal probability too.
Bodily autonomy does hold some water for me as an argument, but for me it’s more about finding a way to minimise societal harm while maximally hurting the businesses profiting from these dark economies we have created through prohibition. But this brings up another round of tough questions: do we do this for all substances? Forever? Is this really the path of least societal harm? (I honestly don’t know)
