Do you not think some people doomscroll lemmy, only reading titles and looking at image posts?

That was the original plan, but seems like they will create a web app some time down the road

I also used to live in PA. Less than a year. I get more polical texts and calls from them than I do from my home state now

I got an email that said to keep an eye out for another email lol. Glad I’m one step ahead of everyone else

Doesn’t it depend on the content? Textbook vs tabloid magazine/ educational video vs top 10 celebrity meltdowns. I don’t see how one medium is inherently better than the other.

They are claiming not to train AI using your videos/info theirselves. I don’t think it’s misleading just because other people can scrape that info.

I stand corrected!

I agree. I’m not trying to say no one made art in 10000 bc. I’m just saying the opportunities became more abundant for people to focus most of their time in life on it in more recent times.

I love Turtle WoW! It feels like one of the last MMOs that really encourage working with other players

I’m not an expert on the subject, but i didn’t see anyone else mention time as a factor. For a long time humans were simply too busy trying to survive. Once civilizations started coming around along with extremely wealthy and powerful people, then more time for leisure, art, and science came. Some of the extremely wealthy people of the past hired artists, mathematicians, scientists, musicians, etc to just live with them and study full time. The expectation was that they would share their work.

I agree with you there. I’ve personally found it very interesting to try new programs and figure out each one’s layout and work flow, but I’ve found many people absolutely hate doing that. I get it, if you want to just use the product for what it’s intended for maybe you don’t want to waste time learning the differences. All of that in consideration, I don’t think gimp is that bad

It used to be way worse. I first tried gimp 10ish years ago and instead of the program running from a single window it was like the canvas, the hierarchy tree, and every other toolbox had its own separate window. I think they updated that a while ago now.

I didn’t mention in my original post but the company only hires within, meaning that every single person within the company started at an entry level position, many of them did operate pallet jacks. Every suit that did come and pretend to look like they were working hard did do that job at one point. I think that’s what made it even more infuriating to me

I should’ve mentioned in my original post that Publix is a hires within company. Everybody including the current CEO started at an entry level position. Obviously no one person knows how to do everything, but all the top level employees ran their own department before running their own store, district, region, etc. Obviously I’m biased, my feelings toward the company are less than favorable after working there. It was just irritating to see someone who has made millions but somehow has the time to run to various stores and kick people off of bagging duty so they can pretend to look like down to earth upper management. It was my first hand experience to seeing just how unnecessary certain corporate positions really are

I used to work for Publix, a grocery chain in the south east US. They talk a big game to the new hires that no matter how high up you make it in the company, you’re not too high to do the tasks of the entry level employees. You’ll even see the CEO in some of the stores in Lakeland, Florida. I’ve always felt it was for show because all you’ll ever see anyone in a management position do is bag groceries. There could be a dozen other tasks that need doing that would take priority, but don’t worry, you have time to do those things because the guys making 6 figures are on bagger duty.

The closest Walmart to me has about a dozen or so self checkout tills and there is usually a line of 20 people waiting to get to them. There’s 3 cashiers that are there to badge the machines when they need to check ID for alcohol or override the machine if you double scan an item. I love self checkouts in other stores but Walmart has always been infuriating.

Or the servers do know that and don’t want to collect on a few extra bucks to lose their job the next day.

I had to poop really bad the other day. I had to make a run for it and didn’t have time to grab my phone first. I was in and out in like 2 minutes!

I thinks it’s weird when people choose to make their online profiles open to the public then get upset when people view their content.

I don’t need to do what you enjoy so that I can have fun
