We need something that isn’t THE internet, and is only accessible if you have the patience and knowledge to connect to it.

That kinda does exist it’s just that you and I lack either the knowledge or patience to connect to it.

I expect you need to look in the Lemmy.World moderation log to see to what degree lemmy.ml users were or were not problematic (I’ve no idea either way.)

Just double-checked. My current smartphone that I partially picked for it’s 3.5mm socket does have built in FM radio that works great and only functions with earphones plugged in.

One reason is that every implementation I’ve ever tried relies on using the wired earphones as an aerial and Apple magically convinced everyone that having a 3.5mm port is somehow a bad thing.

It’s not about more reusable hardware it’s about software being constrained to support existing hardware rather than ditch it to save a fee bucks on development.

Two questions: If it’s only tritrium why does anyone really care? Why couldn’t they just sell it rather than dump it?

I thi k I just realised those questions both have the same answer…

If all the food in my fridge is warm I don’t immediately assume my electricity has been cut off rather than something is wrong with my fridge.

If it’s anywhere near that long you should see a doctor.

I really don’t understand why it’s such a common confusion. None of these people struggle with the difference between their gas supply and their oven.

Delusion.

AFAIK whilst some creatives do fully conceptualise the work in their heads then set out to externally reproduce it, the more normal approach is to have a less complete notion and then create something via the process. IE, a musician might have a melody in their head but then they will play it on the instrument and experiment with different variations and accompaniments to see what sounds good and build on it that way, rather than sit and think of an entire piece based on that, then play it out loud.

I did write a lengthy (nice) response to try to better articulate my own subjective experience for comparison so we could continue to try to better understand one another but then I kinda just lost faith in the idea…

Do you possibly speak more than one language to any degree? If you think of the words “yes” and “oui” (yes in French), there must be some difference in what you experience inside your mind despite the meaning being the same. So what is different between the two subjective experiences for you?

Wrong. The real question is why do we presuppose that the output of creatively driven individuals must generate profit for a capitalist economy to have sufficient value that those people be permitted the basic necessities of life? Frankly I suspect most of our most valuable contributors to culture are never given the opportunity to be bad enough long enough to develop into their potential.

This whole “oh no, AI is going to take away our liveihoods” notion fundamentally accepts the false notion that people are only deserving of a functional life so long as the primary activities of that life is ultimately to contribute towards increasing the wealth of a tiny percentage of individuals.

It’s the same mistake that leads us to massively undersupport educators and carers and will have people freaking out about how they’ll “earn a living” once robots are able to do everything we practically require to be done.

People are fundamentally entitled to a living. If someone is being denied one, then look at the system that causes that not the specifics of that particular flavour of how it’s happening.

But, for you to put the words in “in the right order” they must take some sort of descreet experiential form.

It’s a troll account. They’re intentionally making bootlicking comments everywhere to get a rise from people.

No. Wordpad is the one being discontinued. Paint is one of several programs that can now be uninstalled from Windows by end users without any special tricks.

Yes but my question is that if you say you neither hear nor see the words, what experience does “I just think of the words” mean?

For me if I think of the words in a song I experience that as an auditory thought that may have some more abstract or emotional types of thinking attached to those words (ie, if I’m think of the word “cold” I might hear the word cold in my head and also feel the idea of coldness, or if I think of the word “angry” I’ll hear the word angry in my head and angry associations will come up. Note, this hearing of sounds inside the mind is not the same as experiencing an auditory halicination where you perceive you have heard an external noise with your ears.)

i just can’t stop trying to get all the words in the right order

I do t understand why you’d need easy access to buy 500 at a time of something you shouldn’t take more than 8 a day or for more than three days at a time without consulting a Dr and now I just realised what this is about…

In the UK we just see the Dr if we’re in pain for more than three days because our system isn’t evil.

If you neither hear nor see the words in your head, how do you experience them to reorder them?
