Just a heads up as of a few hours ago the windows installer is broken.

I think the missing link is viable raw photo management and color space transforms. Photoshop is just built well for that. But in terms of drawing Krita blows Potatoshop out of the water

Well, I guess its all hunky dory then. Good on central planning! I’m familiar with the essay and the thesis. I just find this penchant for cherrypicking the parts of history we like not very productive for analysis. Thanks anyway.

Where did that industrialization originate…? You guys want all the benefits and innovations of western capitalism but will assume no responsibility for the failures incurred by the processes that overlapped with said rapid industrialization. Yes, it was a great feat that so much of an agrarian population was lifted by mechanization but at what cost? You’ll never address that part of the equation.

There is nothing wrong with being pro Marxist. All the more power to you and engaging politically. The issue is you guys – at least here on social media and forums – seem unable to divorce any conversation from marxist-leninist theory. Every discussion, topic, analysis is exclusively locked in this worldview because you’ve decided fervently that this is the ultimate frontier for humanity and anyone that slightly disagrees with this perspective is a capitalist neo-liberal bootlicker that needs to be flogged and burned on the stake.

Every time. Every. Single. Time.

Nothing you said necessarily contradicts what I wrote. These are lofty ideas. We should all be striving for ultimate justice. Native Americans should have their lands returned; descendants of slaves should have economic reparations; and so forth.

But how far do we turn back the clock and what is the net benefit? At some point you have to pick a time stamp and freeze history. Otherwise we could sit here endlessly picking arbitrary points to restore the time machine.

But maybe instead of focusing so much on the what we should be focusing on the how. Ultimately everyone wants some measure of justice. Talk to Palestinians or Jews: each will have a different interpretation or vision of justice means to them. But how do we get there?

kids born to settler privilege are supposed to give the land back.

Ok. How are you going to accomplish that exactly? What does this sentiment or statement accomplish in terms of ending the current suffering that is happening? I’m not sure I understand what these declarations are intended to convey or who the audience is?

Sam Reich is the goat

Never heard of Qobuz. Been looking to replace yt music. Their algorithm is trash.

I understood that refere-BAM!

I think it’s trying too hard to be Star Wars - 21st century edition. Villeneuve’s strength is that he can make the weird engaging and palatable while keeping that edge. There just wasn’t enough weirdness in the Dune movies to set it apart. The cinematography and production were great but overall felt underwhelmed. Even 2049 had enough interesting compelling weird elements. I understand he’s under immense pressure from the studio to do his thing so I can’t fault him either.

Oh interesting. Yes, I agree. There is for sure a strong fantasy element in Dune. It would be impossible to divorce it from that. I think Villeneuve maybe leaned too far in the sci fi futuristic aesthetic. I found a lot of the Villeneuve Dune costumes quite uninspiring, but then again I have a lot of criticisms of that series.

Even if all of what you’re saying is true (it’s not), the clock of time is not going back. The founding of the United States is built on the spilled blood of native Americans. What are kids born in the US today supposed to do? This type of clinging to the past to justify any contemporary analysis is the reason things aren’t moving forward.

I love Moebius as an artist, but I think these are stylistically too captured by the 70s fantasy genre. It’s possible Jodorowsky had a heavy hand in this since he wanted to go the whole super Christ god being with the narrative. If you look at Moebius other work The Metabarons it’s far more futuristic and inventive.

I would say Lemmy is very heavy on emotions. Not a diss on Lemmy. I think it’s a great platform but my god! It’s like being stuck in an elevator with the angriest hormonal teens on the planet. Everyone, jeesus, please just chill and have a convo. My god.

My original comment had nothing to do with you. You took nothing out of what I said. I’m sorry about your experience though.

The fact that you even took that as apologia says it all. There is just zero critical thinking left any more. It’s a postmodern meaningless world where we can go on social media and parade as if we’re marching with MLK in Memphis. It’s all roleplay. If people really cared about these issues the engagement would look a lot different. The conversation would be oriented towards solutions - - not flashy bingo buzzwords.

Hey. Interesting. Did you ever do an evaluation for ADHD? I’m 38 and I started the process last week. I’m still waiting for the final interview. I don’t know what will come of in but it will be nice to have some clarity.
