I applaud them for trying some different approaches to how a browser is designed, but I really didn't care for the UI and I don't want a Chromium browser, so it's just not for me. I'll for sure be sticking with Firefox, but I'm glad some people seem to love it. Different strokes and all.
I would love to have a Grandjus style stew permanently living in my kitchen. However, leaving the house while the stove is on seems very dangerous to me. How do you manage to keep the perpstu boiling all day without burning the house down? I also wonder how much running the stove constantly would make my electricity bill go up?...
I mostly follow people in the art/illustration community so I'm not really seeing what you're complaining about, but to be fair your complaint could be levied against basically every big online community out there right now including the fediverse.
As someone who aggressively adblocks everything, one of the final places that ads can still reach me is in annoying ad reads within podcasts.

I think understanding that stuff like that actually happens is a good explainer for why the world is a mess these days. People like that somehow actually exist and they have access to the internet. It's awful.
"The inch-long larva is generously coated in long, luxuriant hair-like setae, making it resemble a tiny Persian cat, the characteristic that presumably gave it the name "puss".

Yeah one of my clearer memories from when I was about 5 was touching one of these things. It was extremely fucking painful. The memory is still seared in my brain.
In my earlier comment in this thread I said my dilemma with using AI for my work was an ethical one, not a legal one. Ethics/morals inform laws for sure, but I think you'd agree that not everything that's technically legal is also ethical. Especially so in a country like the US.
I think a lot of people would also agree that ethics are to some extent individual. Meaning that what I find ethical or not is going to differ from others. So whether or not this is all legal doesn't mean that it's going to jive with my personal view of what is ethical.
That dilemma is my own. Whether or not congress people who have a weak grasp of both technology and the arts think one way or another on the matter is a poor ruler for one's own moral code of conduct in my book.
In any case, good chat. I appreciate that while we don't agree on everything we kept it civil. Now back to work for me (before it gets taken by a robot).

TIL about the Puss Caterpillar, it may look harmless with its soft and furry appearance, but it conceals venomous spines that can cause excruciating pain upon contact that even morphine struggles to quell. (en.wikipedia.org)
