I don’t really get what they’re trying to communicate, either.

I didn’t recognize that as a tongue, no. To me it was a weirdly shaped heart. Or rather, a pink triangle.

What the hell about “Mommy will put you in time-out” makes you think it’s horny? Lay off the Pornhub, dude.

Germany has had that for a couple of years. When that law was introduced, commercials really became quiter on some channels. Then the stations found out that no-one actually sues, so we’re back to square one.

Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.

Would you mind elaborating on that statement? Consider my using a meme generator to plaster some text over a stock image. I express myself regularly by this means. How does this compare to using an image generator to produce the meme? Why does the latter “invalidate human expression”?

If you’re wondering, Why recorders? — there are three reasons:

• They’re portable.
• Recorders in decent enough quality can be cheaply produced, so even low-income children get to play one. Compare that with a guitar where 30$ gets you a piece of wood that detunes as soon as you lay eyes on it. Not great for practicing.
• Recorders have an easily memorizable fingering scheme that allows you to quickly pick up the C Major scale. Compare this with a guitar where you need to remember for each string individually which frets have the notes of the scale.

Hell, no. This is a work laptop. I can’t justify spending days fixing some arcane bullshit that spontaneously decided to do a Leroy Jenkins.

What’s your OS?

Ah yes, the “fuck it, no-one is going to use this” code.
