  • Il y a un truc qui m'irrite sur /r/france c'est cette volonté d'être toujours être contre le grain, cette suffisance à « dire ce que les autres ne veulent pas entendre car ils sont trop irrationnels ».

    Oui ce que tu dis est vrai et tout le monde le sait. Mais c'est aussi une hypocrisie crasse de la part de Spotify, qui fait des campagnes de pubs sur les grands noms qu'on trouve sur sa plate-forme façon « on 🤍 les artistes ». C'est aussi une direction dangereuse à prendre car les ces IA génératives peuvent reproduire n'importe quel genre sans limitations techniques. Aujourd'hui la génération statistique remplace de l'ambiant et de la lofi et on s'en fout, demain elle remplacera le metal, le hip-hop, la dream pop ? Est-ce à Spotify de décider quels sont les genres musicaux qui méritent d'être joués par des humains ?

    Plus largement, l'industrie de la culture est en train de largement scier la branche sur laquelle elle est assise en voulant remplacer toutes les petites mains par de l'IA. Le problème est que beaucoup de grands artistes, de grands cinéastes, de grands photographes ont d'abord été des groupes de quartiers, des assistants monteurs, des pigistes en intermittence. Ils sont en train de couper les vannes, et ne resteront que les produits du népotisme et de la culture à la chaîne. Oh pas de soucis ils ne vont pas remplacer Gojira et Igorrr par de l'IA, c'est juste qu'ils n'auront plus de successeurs.

    À titre personnel j'essaye d'acheter ma musique sur Bandcamp qui prend 15%, ce qui fait par exemple qu'un album à 10€ revient pour l'artiste à trois mille écoutes Spotify à 0.003€. (Et Qobuz, mais je ne sais pas quel est leur marge)

  • My city hosts a number of cruise ships, and it was explained to me they can't be connected to the city grid, so they instead keep their diesel engines running the entire time.

    It's a local air quality issue, and the bigger the ship the more it pollutes locally, even though it might be more efficient on a global level.

  • A far-right candidate (Nicolas Dupont-Aignan) proposed imprisoning French mujahideen in the Kerguelen Islands in 2016.

  • I choose to believe this is brilliant trolling

  • Force choke over several miles seems unlikely even for Darth Vader.

    Doesn't he kill Admiral Ozzel that way?

  • Reading this feels like I'm at the bar. Kinda agree with the sentiment though.

    🍻 Cheers to you

  • My perspective is probably biased, but this lack of stability also means a chance for a modern legal and political framework, without the centuries of cruft and corruption and deadlock that feature in the American system.

    There's also a greater willingness to look into the fundamentals of the system and make changes if necessary, since it's just seen as having been made by flawed human beings rather than the wise and enlightened "Founding Fathers".

  • Yup

  • Biden won the highest turnout election in more than a century, and Al Gore's win was stolen by the Bush clique. This is gross reframing or even reimagining of events to suit your narrative.

  • Mainstream western political theories holds the power of nations arises from their economy. What threat would Putin be were Russia incapable of producing weapons and supplying soldiers?

    Sanctions therefore seek to diminish the power of Russia, counting on its economy being sufficiently interconnected with and dependant on that of the West.

    In this context, sanctions hurting the common people is ultimately the point, because they're literally trying to make Russia poorer, and therefore the poorest will be hurt most. Sanctions targeting the ruling class (such as seizure of assets like yachts) are at best symbolic.

  • If you're unhappy why stay? Personally I'm happy with the Lemmyverse as it stands now — certainly happier than in the corporate lowest-common-denominator that is now Reddit.

  • It says Corvette C7 Z06 on the top one, so it can easily be compared to the underbody of the real one, which doesn't really look like that.

  • FYI the french high school curriculum includes lessons on (de-)colonisation, painting it as unjust and racist.

  • According to MK, he was written to be gay, but higher-ups had him make his relationship with Huna ambiguous.

  • You think people shouldn't be allowed to.. file lawsuits? This is all that has happened so far, there is no court decision yet.

  • Not biologically, but in heart!

  • "4 chords" is a cool mashup but it's not really a valid point in this conversation.

    The songs in "4 chords" don't use the same 4 chords, because they are higher and lower than that. So you might say they use the same progression, but that's not true either, because they're not always constantly in the same order. So the best you can say is "it's possible to interpret pitch- and tempo-adjusted excerpts of these songs back-to-back", which isn't a very strong claim.

    In fact there's a lot of things separating the songs in "4 chords"; such as structure, arrangement, rhythm, lyrics, or production. Another fact is that it's perfectly possible to use these four chords in a way that you've never heard before and would likely find bizarre -- it's a bit of meme, but limitation really can breed creativity.

    This isn't to defend the lack of creativity in the big music industry. But there's more to it than just saying "4 chords" to imply all musicians do is follow an established grid.

  • War isn't inevitable. Back in the cold war it was averted multiple times, and the USSR had a much more closed economy than China's. China going to war with NATO would lose them all their largest trading partners.
