@ricard Just want to thank you for your "Improving Mastodon’s disk usage" post, it has really helped me out. From there I also found your photography and other posts. You're an inspiring person! Thank you.

Don't you hate it when people get all intellectual and try to talk about Mozart when they've never even seen one of his paintings?

“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”

https://www.theredhandfiles.com/chat-gpt-what-do-you-think/ Nick Cave on ChatGPT: Songs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel. Data doesn’t suffer. ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing, it has not had the audacity to reach beyond its limitations, and hence it doesn’t have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience.

One moment you’re young and carefree; next you’re just happy that your grocery pickup order had no stockouts or substitutions.

At some point during the Dark Years, I realized that I had lost my sense of wonder. I came to see that wonder does not abide companionably alongside outrage. My (well-deserved) outrage had cost me my sense of wonder, and I was devastated. It has gradually returned, and I realized today that what I’m experiencing here is the full-on return of wonder. I’m absolutely reveling in it every day when I see and share art and photos and good-natured humor and community. Just wow. #Mastodon

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost - Nan Goldin

Just discovered the hide boosts function. Wish I'd have looked for this before. Now I can be inspired by artists who post their beautiful work without having the mood killed and my opinion of them dragged down by some petty political post they've boosted.
