@nprofile1q... I understand. We'll just have to keep fighting it every time, then.
I know Germany apparently opposes it now, but is #chatcontrol actually dead or is there still a teeny tiny possibility that it could somehow pass? It comes to a vote on the 14th, right?

@nprofile1q... sponsors a transphobic developer: Vaxry, developer of the Hyprland compositor.

Vaxry has been known to harass trans ppl. If Framework is putting money towards that, maybe I won't put money toward Framework anymore. Maybe you shouldn't either, until they stop this.
Transphobia is not appealing, especially for the kind of people who would normally be interested in Framework's devices.

@nprofile1q... i'm sure i'm not the only one to say this, but this here is exactly why forcing people to only use one app store is awful.
@nprofile1q... that's amazing! Congrats!
I feel like streaming services are kind of to blame for the situation we currently face, but in my mind it's complicated. They introduced the system of legal piracy we face today, and in my mind if it weren't for them many would merely stick to buying off iTunes. But does that say more about companies and advertising or our culture simply valuing short term convenience over long term sustainability? iTunes had its own issues given how back then you likely needed a label to publish on it, unlike Bandcamp.
I dunno, just random thoughts and questions that popped into my mind. I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

@nprofile1q... i'm not too much of a funk/jazz person but I took a quick listen and what I heard was mega good!!
@nprofile1q... the question I often ask myself, especially with regards to the art theft of AI, is: does having the ability to instantly generate art actually make society better?
I just don't see the point. We create art to express ourselves. When a machine does it for us, the machine is doing most of the expressing for us.
The only situation I can really see there being a point is for people who view the creative process as an impediment to maximizing profi- ohhhhh...
