I agree. What alternative do we have though? Firefox is dependent on google, but at least they're more private and secure.

i do both

This is one of the only times you'll see me defend google.

same but with newpipe

you can tell there's something off, it doesn't look human. of course it's not a "work" of "art" nobody worked on it and it is not artistic.

Generative imagery puts creativity in the hands of many more than are artistically or dexterously gifted enough to communicate artistically. It takes nothing away from the community, and if you prefer not to look at it, its as simple as averting your eyeballs a few degrees.

You're acting as if making art is an ability you're born with and you can't make art if you weren't gifted with it at birth. The beautiful thing about art is the skill and dedication put into the piece.

One of the main things that make humans human, is our creativity, why would we give that up?

Making art with electronics is very different to having "art" made by electronics.

I never mentioned google. And sure, xmpp exists but it's dead and would be much better off if not for big tech giants

We just don't want history repeating itself like what happened with xmpp. Do you really think facebook of all companies is joining the fediverse with good intentions? Do you really think they're not trying to monopolize this?

nah i like it

yeahhh

old phones have batteries that are meant to last

The pinephone might, not sure
