I liked the imagery of you scratching your eyes out.

Don’t mind the people shitting on your writing! It’s fine.

Also, I wonder about this. I don’t like using GenAI for a few reasons, one of them is the environmental impact, but it’s by no means the biggest. Not even close. It really is barely a reason at all.

It’s a tool… I think it’s immorally constructed and mostly in bad taste, but the environment is really a much deeper failure than the individual, I think. I don’t think campaigning against people using something mindlessly, ignorantly perhaps, blithely even, does much good, when you could spend that time convincing them that the big stuff, and there’s big stuff like data centers if we wanna just stick to AI, should be banned or regulated to oblivion.

“Don’t use GenAI” is fine, but “Data centers suck” results in the same thing and doesn’t attack the individual for some perceived moral failing for doing something innocuous while surrounded by terrible shit.

Hopefully you get what I’m getting at!

This is kind of like the movie Tag.

again

Yes

LOL

Might be yeah.

I think AI image generation was better when it was just this kind of thing.

Amazing

Alright, alright, not bad!

Hmmm Cookies & Cream?! Outdated much? That flavour is sooo 2001.

I think it’s fun to read way too much into stuff! Plus, what people laugh at can definitely say something deeper about what they believe :D methinks

IDK

Yeah, it’s a joke with a “schizophrenia” punchline, as you put it, but I feel like it speaks to a yearning for connection and empathy and for love in a patriarchal system that demands the domination of man over woman, and therefore excludes the very possibility of love between a man and a woman, for true love can never exist in a dominator-dominated dynamic.

In a way, it’s the mirror image of a “wife bad” joke, where the loveless nature of patriarchal heterosexual unions is framed as the failure of the woman, where the “schizophrenia” joke frames it as a mere unattainable dream of the man.

so I only keep up for friends who aren’t as down the rabbit hole as I am privacy wise.

Fair enough.

On the thread: sheesh at least it’s not some Nazi or other extreme thing… The dev is just kind of an asshole, it seems. To be honest, I’ve heard of enough open-source drama to expect some sort of power-tripping or entitled dev somewhere in every project.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

TBH, I think the app looks ugly and the little jokes cycling during patching are obnoxious… Also, the settings don’t seem to actually work properly on YT? It autoplays in the home screen even when that’s disabled, for example.

IDK, I’ll explore this a little more when I get some more time.

I do wonder what shit ass rogue developer you’re referring to o.0 I haven’t kept up with any ReVanced-related drama or anything.

ReVanced tbh

Clarence is the only accurate one somehow.

Hilarious btw

IDK man, I like knowing that Frieren is looking out for me in the background. Even if I don’t see it, I appreciate that it’s there.

The default wallpaper is meant to be pleasing, and I guess it’s meant to appeal to the average person? I’ve known several people that don’t change their wallpapers or that use that automatic carousel thing with a different image every time you wake the device.
