Here is your periodic reminder that the ONLY thing you need to do to be a musician is to make music. The ONLY thing you need to do to be an artist is to make art. The ONLY thing you need to do to be an athlete is to play sports. There is no gate to keep. There is no bar to entry. Do it. You don't have to turn everything you do into a side hustle, and you don't have to do things at a professional level to be allowed to do them. Paint something. Write a song. Dance. Run. Make a sculpture. Live.

@pino@social.cologne @AnachronistJohn@zia.io @jschauma@mstdn.social Ah, see, to me, your "point" sounds like "Why don't we say 'All lives matter?'" derailment. The adoption methodology and general outcome of FB was VASTLY different from AI...and I'm sorry if it hurt you, 15 years ago. FB dumbed down the landscape, for sure...but it didn't directly compete to take away jobs, didn't burn through water at a criminal level, and hasn't been literally proven to make people less able to solve problems.

@pino@social.cologne @AnachronistJohn@zia.io @jschauma@mstdn.social You are also making a MASSIVE assumption that we didn't rail against the rise of Meta, 15 years ago....the very face we are having this discussion (such as it is) on Mastodon is probably a good indicator about how we feel about Meta as a technology platform.

@pino@social.cologne @AnachronistJohn@zia.io @jschauma@mstdn.social That's another classic technique for de-railing a topic. Multiple things can be bad without negating the original point. As for them being the same...eh. Maybe in terms of purely *your* annoyance, but the socio-ecological implications of AI have kinda been proven to be significantly worse than FB (which is not good). You are looking at one metric and saying "these are the same"...but the sky and the ocean are both blue, but...not the same.

Second album cover illustration!

I meant to share this yesterday, and got sidetracked. In my stream I made the illustration that I'm planning on using for my 2nd album "Xeno-Derelict A-471", which is coming out on bandcamp.com NEXT FRIDAY.

https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/the-mechanics-of-mysticism is @etherdiver@ravenation.club's newest album, and it's *excellent*. What's it sound like? Beyond "electronic", it's uplifting but not cheesy, complex but not too esoteric, and boppy without being repetitive. You should check it out :)

The Blender community has been smugly not having a 'kit fee' for a LONG time now...and yes, that has allowed hobbyists to thrive....but the cost has been to long-term support for professionals. Looks like it's moving to a more 'established' system for add-ons, and that's probably ultimately good.

You can't really live with one foot in a capitalist society and one in a not-for-profit one. The strains of the two will constantly push and pull, and, like it or not, the capitalist part controls if you eat and have a roof over your head for most of us.

Do I love this change? Fuck no. No one wants to have to pay for more things...but if the choice is "developers stop making updates" or "You choose if you WANT to update", I think the later is better.

"Free updates for life" only works if the purchase-base continually grows. Blender users are getting upset about the new licensing rules from Superhive, but...you don't HAVE to upgrade Blender.

Users have gotten spoiled, but in a shrinking economy, things change.

The "Don't Like It, Don't Watch It" response only applies if there are no broader issues that need to be discussed.

"Don't like the country, just don't go there" shouldn't apply to vicious dictatorships, as an example of why quiet "boycotts" can be bullshit.

Personal opinion: In today's market, using add ons and tools that will "Let you complete a project in minutes!" are going to hurt you more than help you if you aren't careful.

Not saying don't be *fast*, but if you're getting there with premade assets - where is the value? When you use premades, GO SLOW. Use them as jumping off points, not a way to speed up the process.

The people that think they need those things will never listen to something like this though.

Kinda wild to me that I essentially 'missed' an entire revision of Blender. Been so busy with my non-3D contract that I haven't really experienced any part of 5.0, and 5.1 comes out this week!
