No. In Sweden, 99% of all payments are cahsless. Most stores don’t even take cash anymore.
We still have plenty of (digital) options for payment in addition to Visa/Mastercard.
In my view, it’s actually the opposite. The more digital paymenst are used, the higher the incentive to create a competing payment solution. Swish and Klarna are taking over more and more here.
Right? And that’s one of the best features of the market!
I’d change it to say expectations on the future of the matket, though. It has nothing to do with futures, per se.
I still think it looks weird. The Ice-person moves quite a bit from one frame to the next.
Not without internet access and Sonos cloud servers, it doesn’t…
What’s with the cut right before he fires?
Sponsorblock takes care of those
I’m conflicted here. Your first paragraph initially opens the loophole “but AI art” could be the medium in which the artist is expressing themselves. So poor prompting could be beautiful too, in a way. I’m sure photographers of the past felt this way about software post editing when that became popular.
The results may be good to many viewers but apalling to anyone who can tell the difference. If the results don’t matter, does it matter if AI slop is “bad”?
The prompt may have been beautiful, and the process of learning and finding the right tools (i.e. choosing the right model) is akin to the struggles of any artist in learning their craft.
/devil’s advocate

With that framing, there wouln’t be a patriarchy to fight against - just the establishment.
Not 200 %. Maybe 5-10 %. You still have to read all of it to check for mistakes, which may sometimes take longer than if you would have just written it yourself (with a good autocomplete). The times it makes a mistake you have lost time by using it.
It’s even worse when it just doesn’t work. I cannot even describe how frustrating it is to wait for an auto complete that never comes. Erase the line, try again aaaand nothing. After a few tries you opt write the code manually instead, having wasted time just fiddling with buggy software.
I can’t alt-tab at all out of fullscreen games on Wayland. My workaround is to send the game to another desktop. Annoying.
Even with KDE, Wayland isn’t ready yet. There are plenty of small annoynces for me, especially with the clipboard. Zoom doesn’t work right - screen sharing in general hangs the whole gui.
Lots of X based tools don’t have a good replacement yet. gpick, xkill, xclip, ssh -X, etc…
I once asked Gemkni to create some art with a transparent background and it drew the checkerboard pattern behind the object…
Try DeArrow, it will replace the thumbnail with a random snapshot and title is crowdsourced.
Same here, it made the rest if the game a bit too easy…
Seems like the park side is larger for it. The other side looks to be yards/fences, no point in giving the resident there a little extra lawn.
My fever dream was always trying to balance countless of bouncing balls on a large tray, everything flying off, of course until a single ball remains, which inevitably rolls off the side. Then the whole thing starts over again. Torture on repeat.
It’s a form of Voronoi diagram. If you color based on the closest point, the boundaries will akways be straight lines:
It’s mostly a middle man to outsource payments. The stire doesn’t care if it’s on credit or not. You can pay directly with a bank account through Klarna, at least with the major Swedish banks.
