Awesome you got to see them as well! They got big really fast, I saw them a year later at Alcatraz festival and that was at least 20x bigger and they were headlining IIRC. At that concert they had a canon shooting 666$ bills, I took some snaps for you. Tucked away between my record Ceremony and Devotion, the full live set just as I remember it but recorded in San Francisco.

Similar experience seeing Ghost in de Vooruit in Ghent. Must’ve been 2016, back when they were called Ghost BC. Don’t really follow them much anymore, but that venue was on fire.

Edit - Also amazing:

• Florence and the machine: amazing voice
• Ocean Wisdom: whole club bouncing up and down
• Macklemore: creates a rarely seen vibe with everyone
• Cypress Hill: such legends even after all these years
• Hooverphonic: insane voice and they are sometimes guided by an orchestra, so much power
• Parov Stelar: with an orchestra as well and my god it’s really something to experience live

A lot of artists sound way different live, I’ve been disappointed as well but these definitely stand out.

Voyager allows me to add filter/block keywords but I assume that’s only for posts. Don’t see much use in implementing the same feature for comments though.

Genuinely a great day for linux

I think they eventually figured out mass doxxing isn’t such a good idea

This has to be satire lmao, “Joe Byedon” I meaaaaaan

A plain advertisement on a user focused tech forum? Is this your first day on the internet?

Are you in the US? Then either guns or lawsuit

Pretty accurate, but I would say a realistic nerd with an audiologist sister-in-law

Both can be true!

Friendly reminder to not use pokey thing into those grills, use a mounting putty, stick it on there and be satisfied when you pull it off. Same thing if you have wireless earbuds where one ear is a different volume.

Let’s create a society where people want to live and participate in, not fuck their toaster for the entire day.

Aka, The Fermi Paradox

Ngl I laughed at this, everyone knows votes are public, but actually calling someone out? Pathetic. But since you’re not pulling any punches, I’ll tell you why your comment is useless fodder.

This is an endemic problem on Lemmy

This shows you have little experience in internet fora, small or poorly moderated communities are not a lemmy problem but on every corner of the internet. It also shows you are actively missing the point of lemmy, make your own corner, make it interesting and people will come. You don’t agree with the admins of a community? Others will too so actually put in the effort yourself. But you don’t want that, you want a large platform of your likeminded people. Then use that platform ffs. And meanwhile, slow and steady your niche will have better representation on lemmy as well.

There’s no point in trying to build a community with a very hostile environment for anything that doesn’t align with the very odd hostile-against-everything-not-OSS zeitgeist.

Curate your feed, you own an instance, use it and defederate from instances you don’t like. Don’t like any? Then get off lemmy instead of being so petty because you thought lemmy was an exact drop in replacement for reddit. So please, leave the door open on your way out, so people who have actual value to contribute can come in.

Edit: Ofcourse they delete their comment lmao

That’s even worse, like you said, selfish.

At what point does human creative expression become a sentient being?

Exactly! When you pay for a service you own the copyright, like having a photoshop license. I meant in other situations where it’s free or provided as research tools to engineers under a company.

The existing legal precedence

I know that’s how law works, but there is no precedent for AI at this scale and will only get worse. What if AI gains full sentience? Are they a legally recognised person? Do they have rights and do they not own the copyright themselves? All very good questions with no precedent in law.

Oh yeah I was just showing an example! There is much more to it then just commercial, but it’s a very quick way get the attention of businesses. Whether it be direct or indirect.

I’ll compare it with the recent takedown of the Switch emulator Yuzu. It’s my understanding they actively solicited donations and piracy, both of which could be seen as commercial activities. Which in a project of that scale the latter was their downfall, meanwhile Ryujinx is still up and running. But we’ll see if that remains true.
