  • Not against the technology development itself, but it’s a fix temporary, symptomatic treatment at best. It does not address the root cause.

    In the analogy makeup, it needs to be cleansed every day and applied everday again to keep effectiveness and avoid adverse effect to the skin. Symptomatic treatment needs upkeep once employed while the root cause is still there. And in case of aerosol injectiom even after the root cause is resolved, retrieval of those particles from atmosphete is much difficult and costly. There are countless technology that seemed reasonal fix at the moment later revealed to be of harm due to oversight.

    Is my pov doom and gloom? Maybe. However there are tremendous uncertainty, and the global nature of aerosol injection its effect on existing system is hard to predict, if not impossible. New technology develoment needs to come with development of its harm reduction / retrieval method (as in cleanser analogy).



  • Japanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as “アスキーアートエディタ” (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to “trace” image.

    Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editors were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike “AA artist” in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.












  • IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.

    I’m all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It’s been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.

    But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn’t seem to be the right tool.
