So the Circle of Life is really just the Ouroboros of Capitalism…

Hm.

I lurk the frontpage occasionally and I’ve already noticed the Reddit atmosphere has gotten … weird.

Little-known, content-churning subreddits are bubbling to the top because of all the other blackouts and desertions. Fringe viewpoints and wacko opinions that would normally get downvoted to the bottom of a thread are now out in the open because there’s no voice of reason to hold them back.

And the kind of people that are still on there, acting as if everything is fine (or, God forbid, better(???) than it was before the revolts) … it’s a very strange place now.

Just be glad we’re actually taking showers.

I just like that I can post an honest comment and not worry about being Well-Ackshually’d to death. Sometimes I’d be knee-deep in Wikipedia fact-checking and suddenly realize, “This reddit reply is not worth the personal effort I am putting into it.”

There’s the answer I was looking for!

I watched a 3-hour Krita beginner’s tutorial (can’t remember the exact video but the narrator had a strong French accent) and he explained so many tricks and tips - hold down Ctrl to do this, hold down Shift to do another thing - that might not be intuitive from just poking around. But Krita really is the “built by artists, for artists” program once you have a keyboard & tablet config that fits one’s personal workflow.

I’m kinda shocked they’re openly saying “I just don’t like [lemmy.world’s] vibe” as one of the justifications, as that looks like the slipperiest of slopes.
