There are some AI music generators out there with free tiers, Suno or Udio or Minimax come to mind, you could try those out. I use AI-generated music frequently in my tabletop roleplaying games, both as DM and as a player, it's nice to be able to whip up stuff with completely custom lyrics to fit any situation.

Really? That wouldn't be more "whining?"

It's pretty simple, though. I complained about the comic, you complained about me complaining about the comic. If one of those is a problem then surely the other is too. If the solution for me is to just shut up and endure it, that's your solution too.

Personally, I think a position of "can we please not turn the Fediverse into an echo of Reddit" is more appropriate here than a position of "stop complaining about the Fediverse turning into an echo of Reddit". But you do you I guess. It's a free community.

Same to you.

It's showed up in two different communities that I'm subscribed to. I commented in one of those and that's when I got accused of "whining." This is the second community I'm subscribed to where it showed up, and I commented about the other comment I made about it here. The two communities are about completely different subjects.

The instance I'm on shows me where it's been crossposted to, there's at least four other communities it's in. I didn't comment on any of those since I'm not subscribed there.

But yeah, I'm the one who's stalking.

Imagine downvoting a comic from a very annoying artist that many people have gone to lengths to avoid.

Pizzacake is the only person I've blocked on Reddit because I was sick of all the drama that arose whenever she posted anything. Now her content is following me here to the Fediverse, and the drama too - when I explained my dislike over on this comic communty I got accused of being the one who was "stalking". It's like there's something in the water whenever her comics show up.

Are you suggesting that gun control laws cause arson? Like, I want to rob some guy but I don't have a gun, guess I'll set him on fire?

While writing an opinion piece on the Gollum effect in 2022, Valdez realized that no one had studied territorial behavior in academic research—claiming of specific ideas and topics, samples, or study sites—and its potential impact on the academic research community.

He then declared it to be called "The Valdez Principle", piled all of his data on it in the corner of his office, and sat on top of it hissing at anyone who approached while brandishing a halberd.

I make a point of referring to birds as "feather-bugs", much to the weary resignation of my RL friends.

The owner gets to decide whether OP's presents go through to the dog, and in the extreme case whether to continue being friends with OP.

A dog's owner is their guardian. It's important to get their buy in if you want to give their dog something. This is perfectly reasonable.

If this is specifically made for dog use then they presumably used a dog-tooth-friendly material for the fibrous cover.

The dog's owner will, though.

And just generally, it's good for an open protocol like ActivityPub to have a lot of different independent clients. Keeps the openness well grounded.
