The train ride wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked, so I took a photo on my phone, sent it to my iPad, and did a loose squiggly sketch of some “Herzog” boxcars we passed.
I have three Bluetooth speakers I got from a junk bin and they all have Bluetooth names like "CANZ", "Jam Classic", and "SBL 4.1 A1" and none of them have branding on them telling me which is which...
I had a few people interested in this card I made. I designed it, it's hand printed (so each one is slightly different/imperfect), and it comes in a sealed bag with an envelope.
I'm curious what you would pay for such a card...
I will not that I exist with the privilege of not having to pay rent by selling art, but instead use most of the profits to make more art and run a Free Little Art Gallery (which gives away are for free!)
So all that said... what's a reasonable price for this card?
@rasterweb "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" is a bit of a ride with strange emphasis on ditching everybody in your life as unwelcome baggage but, it did crystalize this idea of "positive choices" and "negative choices".
We do things like brush our teeth to avoid a negative outcome, that's a negative choice.
It gets complicated if you ask about coffee - do you like coffee or dislike caffeine withdrawal and which one is really your driving motivation?
@rasterweb Sure enough, now I see that you can click on the "Last edited" and read the original. My eyes have always glossed right over that. Good to know!
Kinda like most normal people gloss over the misused word... You could have said "I'm hoping this radicalizes the kid and in ten years he eschempses the evils of capitalism." And it would have been perfectly clear.
@rasterweb WTF is the thought process on branding. Anyone who knows associates it with music, and anyone that doesn’t has no idea what it is. If someone actually paid for the name they’re a moron. And fuck AI.
@fistfulofdave I think you nailed it with "moron". Bunch of corpsefuckers must have bought it. I came across it only because I randomly wanted to look up "Limewire" to see if it still existed and noped my way out ASAP.
We’ve succeeded in making computers more like humans!
Years ago if you wanted to tell a computer what to do you wrote code it could understand, and it did exactly what you told it to… You had to get it right of course.
Today you just tell a computer what you want by talking to it like a human… and it responds like a human, making mistakes, giving you what you don’t want, or just lying to you.
