Stop excusing the stupid. People are capable to learn to avoid it and disable it.

Ha, shows you right.

God, people, just get yourselves flash drives or an external drive. Cloud storage is dumb.

You could make either of those options last through your entire lifetime if you care for them properly. But I guess people enjoy the idea of going "huh?" whenever files mysteriously disappear from cloud storage.

They tried being a game store at one point, where you bought Steam games through them.

Well the developers, like all techbros, have been sweetening up Discord to what it is. Once they find a pretty buyer, they'll sell it for top dollar. That's the real completion cycle of enshittification. Some private firm will have it or someone like Microsoft may have it and do to it like they've done with Skype.

It's been enshittifying for a while now.

Who the hell would pay $12 for some fancy profile template? Who'd pay $6 just for an animated thing that revolves around your profile picture? Half of that garbage obstructs your profile.

Not even subscribing to their $10 Nitro deal is worth it. Wow, you get to have a poor selection of ways to display your name. Maybe if a server you really love to be in was active and could take advantage of some of the things advertised, probably might be worth it. But a lot of the time, I'm in servers that don't so I don't see a point.

I could make a killing just selling off ideas and inventions if I put the effort to jotting the documentation and making the blueprints. All the while these smart people used trial and error and sometimes accidents to make up their shit.

No. Inkbunny allows art of minors being in sexual content.

He's going to try anyways.

If anything, the red states will be stupid enough to listen, probably. The blue states will still vote and effectively will shoot the Republicans in the foot.

Republicans talk big game and are cunning, but not the brightest people in power.

I love that mower one that isn't shown in this article. Slap a remote control on it and I can't see anyone getting bored to mow the lawn again.

Yup. They have an AI Art Generator called 'Dream Up' and it does exactly what you think it does.

So you can just make an account now, not caring about actually drawing or rendering anything, but you can just generate art. It's crazy.

They've committed themselves to AI art, that's how dead it is.

I remembered fond memories predating that period though. The chat room community was at once, very large. The chats still in fact exist, though, they've really tucked them away in a corner. Still have friends from there, still have seen so much talent come through there.

But you won't ever tell anymore what AI is and what AI isn't, because they've welcomed AI with open arms for a while. DeviantArt has truly backstabbed so many artists, without a care.

Oh and their logo is stupid as shit, looks more like an X than DA.

Right after about 10 minutes of a tutorial that insults you.

"What, you don't know how to play games? Okay, I'll show you how to play this game after trying to educate you how to play the game"
