    As I understand it, the core purpose of art is communication. Using a graphical editor to create web pages is still honest art in my opinion, because although you’re assembling it out of larger primitives, you’re still communicating a substantial message. It’s similar to collage; the pieces you’ve assembled aren’t your work, and the viewer knows that. The important part is how they’re arranged and the message that arrangement communicates.

    AI-generated art feels deceptive and hollow to a lot of people because when we see art, we expect it to communicate something substantial, but in the case of AI art, the model can’t magically add more meaning beyond the words of the prompt. Not to mention, the cultural grand larceny involved in creating AI art tools leaves a bad taste in most honest people’s mouths.

    Being able to teleport into a region already containing air without creating a nuclear blast requires that you can already either instantly displace the air in the target region (which would make a Very Loud Noise) or switch places with it, so there are possible interpretations of the power where teleporting into a fence would leave behind a detached section of fence or bend it out of your way


















  • Games that have native Linux versions are uncommon, but Steam on Linux includes a program called Proton, which provides a Windows-compatible environment so that games made for Windows can run without being manually ported. It isn’t exactly the same, so some games don’t work quite right, which is why not every game is compatible with Steam on Linux.

    Any game that’s compatible with the Steam Deck should run fine on any other Linux system, as long as the underlying hardware is powerful enough.






  • Peanuts and dairy are usually possible to spot without checking the ingredients list, and they serve a distinct culinary purpose. They have valid reasons to exist, and are fairly simple, if a little annoying, to avoid.

    HFCS does not serve a distinct culinary purpose (it’s pretty much just sugar but it benefits from corn subsidies), and is impossible to identify without careful scrutiny because it’s included in all sorts of foods that it has no business being in. The (purely financial) benefit it provides is far outweighed by its harm to public health.
