*when they do take over

Do you think an acausal robot god has a less than 100% chance of appearing? What are you, a heretic?

How would that help?

You seem to not realise that "shell" is a stand-in for a lot of companies, each of which emits 5%. It is way more efficient to get a few companies than every person on earth.

AI art won't do shit except boot people out of jobs that would require a real artist but won't have too many people complaining if it is obvious goo.

As for open-source art tools, krita is fantastic and gets used by a lot of professionals.

windows is the most user friendly

This is entirely dependend on what you're used to I think, because I used to think this too but now I can't do anything with windows anymore.

I disagree strongly with this sentiment. If there was one garage that was destroying engines and another garage removing all the seatbelts, sure, maybe engine-estroying-garage has their own shit going on, but that doesn't mean that their critisism of seatbelt-removing-garage is invalid.

Can we not try to avoid introspection into our own racism by talking about someone else's racism please?

Yes, this is a fucked up thing. Why do you specifically bring it up under a post about European racism tho?

I disagree strongly on the first point. Blackface was not percieved as negative by a lot of people because they had no awareness of it's significance, but black pete has always been a racist stereotype. It's not "oh, this is a character who happens to be black", it's "this thick-lipped gold-earring wearing pitch-black person with old-timey clothes is the servant of an old bisshop".

This shit has always been fucked up. And we didn't just make an easy decision to change them because some people were uncomfortable, people fought for that. And half of the people are still "bUt iTs jUsT a ChIlDrEnS hOlIdAy iS evErYthInG rAciSt tHEse DaYs?"

The way it is phrased makes me very certain that this is not written by a person.

The computer isn't powered down, if you look closely it's on extremely low brightness and running the hollywood program
