True, and single-use plastic wrappers are indeed a scourge.
But one thing is often omitted when ranting about "companies that profit from blowing everything up": They often produce stuff that we a) don't need and b) buy. Nobody needs new phones / computers every year, but they get produced. Almost nobody needs pickup trucks and SUVs, but the suburbs are full of the things. Nobody needs "fast fashion", but here we go.
It's true that international manufacturing companies cause a majority of CO2 pollution, but they produce stuff for everyone. If people bought less useless stuff, we'd be better off.
Easy: Die Schallwellen werden mit der NIMBY-Konstante moduliert, sodass sie nur die Länge eines durchschnittlichen „Stocks im Arsch“ zurücklegen, bevor sie die Lautstärke eines Kronehit-Autoradios erreichen.
And many will likely lose their jobs - especially those who refuse to learn how to use it.
I get that, and it's certainly tragic for any individual who is affected. But that's how the graphic design industry has always worked. Get with the new tech or get left behind. Few people are hand-painting signs any more.
Call me obtuse, but were people upset when the first movie poster was created digitally instead of hand-painted / hand-pasted?
Who are the people who put together the ideas and concepts for this intro? Who created the prompts, decided if they were fitting, edited them afterwards etc. etc.? Are they not artists? Is AI generated imagery not just another tool in a visual artists toolkit?
The main issue I have with Lemmy however is the profound lack of discoverability for communities. This is exacerbated on smaller instances. It is human nature to want to be where many people are, and Fediverse instances are no exception there.
Der Grund ist vermutlich, dass viele Apps überhaupt nicht mehr entdeckt werden, weil im App Store zu viel los ist, und die Suche mit Werbung zugemüllt wurde. :(
Uhrschnell ist tatsächlich eine super App, die ich auch gerne nutze.
It's the best way to learn both the platform fundamentals, as well as good programming principles. Beware though, it's definitely for advanced students, and there's homework.

Cool, wir werden am Freitag hingehen. Ist aber eigentlich immer empfehlenswert, dort mal vorbeizuschauen.

Really? They've been readily available as far as I can see. I could order one by monday.

Ich bin mir sicher, dass da so eine alleinerziehende Landkrankenpflegerin drinsitzt, die in dieser Debatte so oft herhalten muss.

Tun wir so, als wäre old reddit eine gute UI? Das ist doch genauso katastrophal, nur wir haben uns daran gewöhnt.
I've learned it with Stanford's CS193p course. https://cs193p.sites.stanford.edu/
