That depends. Are you doing this just for your own enjoyment or trying to use that art for commercial purposes? Do you have the artist's permission to modify and pass on their work?
If it's just for you then go hog wild. If you're planning to use the modified art commercially or post it online publicly you should get the artist's permission first.

In my experience many of the people who haven't quit are self medicating for attention or depressive reasons. Of the folks I know who vape about half were diagnosed with ADHD later in life (30+) and quit after finding a stimulant medication that worked for them. The rest are unmedicated and self medicating with nicotine and coffee or energy drinks. Self medicating is overlooked in virtually every discussion about nicotine and I'd like to see it considered more often when the topic comes up instead of just leaping straight to "nicotine use bad" or "nicotine users should be punished" like most discussions do.
Edit: there's also some interesting research re: nicotine's neuroprotective properties that gets lost in the prohibition fervor
Finally. Are they actually hiring decent UX folks this time or are they using the people who designed 1980s VCR programming UIs again?
iPod replacement, dedicated smart home device dashboard, dedicated navigation/entertainment system in the car, dedicated UI for something on your home network or weather info or headlines or whatever website you want to check regularly in one place
This is the big one I want too. I'd love to curate topic based feeds from multiple communities so that other people could subscribe to a single coffee feed instead of 5-8 communities that they had to find themselves. I think this would be particularly useful for new people joining Lemmy, it would save a lot of time if they could just sub to a couple of multi's and start getting content they're interested in rather than needing to build their sub list entirely from scratch.
Yeah same. When he started topping my feed despite me blocking him I ejected from his platform and washed my hands of the whole thing.
They're using the same playbook the FBI used to split leftists and prevent successful rallying around community leaders in the 60s, 70s and 80s. It's time tested and it works.
When I logged in about six weeks after the ownership change my feed included Elon Musk, Andrew Tate and 2-3 other right wing influencers. I follow none of these people, I have zero interest in what they have to say and I find them reprehensible. I deleted my account and haven't used the platform since.
The BBC, NPR and the NY Times. NPR in their effort to seem unbiased allows Republicans to frame the discussion of all things political and NPR participates rather than calling out obvious falsehoods or reframing any issue around facts. I bucket them firmly in the neoliberal controlled opposition camp. The NYT has become yet another corporate mouthpiece and the BBC does whatever they do. I never paid much attention to CNN but I engage with them even less now that they've switched to FOX's manufactured outrage "entertainment" model rather than engaging in journalism.
So, uh, all of those? I can't handle popular Republican "news" sources, they tend to twist facts in the name of this week's political expediency or simply lie.
Edit: I'd like to say "literally any corporate news source" here too, all of them present a view of the world that reinforces their owners' worldview and/or lobbies in their interest. All media should be carefully evaluated for a slant that benefits the owner of the publication regardless of their apparent political stance.
They are. The Republican playbook in every state is to slash education funding, make abortion and birth control as hard to access as possible and then wait 20-30y for a big poorly educated population to grow that they can control easily with media and the Jesus
