The concern is here is clearly not the revocation of licenses.

The cost of not just learning but becoming a professional user of a specific set of tools is very high. Then later as time goes by being forced to either abandon these tools or to accept a different pricing model is - to many people - unfair and unethical.

There is more to this argument. Adobe made themselves an industry standard with a perpetual license - pay once, own forever. Once they transitioned to a subscription model with a strict cancellation policy, it became the only option.

Saying that designers could have just continued using Photoshop CS on a 2006 MacBook doesn't reflect the reality of hardware updates and the changes in the industry-wide design trends.

Most domain registrars require providing identity details. Even if these details are private, a single leak or a config mistake on this domain will expose your real identity, tied to all aliases. With an alias service or a shared email provider you don't have this risk as you don't have to provide your real-life identity.

So while it's tempting to use one random alias (h3hj4gjh234@yourdomain.com) for a high-risk service and another alias for a critical service (github@yourdomain.com), these aliases are easily identifiable as belonging to the same person.

No. With one partial exception being OpenAI that got $1B investment ~5 years ago from MS before they launched DALL-E v1 (and even before GPT-3).

Assassinating your political opponents using the military in the name of saving the nation fits quite neatly into the definition of fascism. You don't need the system to be fascist to be a fascist.

Since the prevailing view of Trump and MAGA Republicans is that they are fascist, it's not a stretch to point out that the proposal in the parent comment is far closer to "actual" fascism than the actions of an incompetent enabler.

Great tool!

One feature that I miss in many generative music experiments is the ability to export the generated MIDI clip. Could be a different target audience, not sure, but being able to export and re-use a pattern adds a lot of appeal.

An example that I love to show is this poly rhythm generator: generatorpoly.ozieblowski.dev

A bit off-topic. Does browser MIDI implementation allow syncing across tabs with MIDI clock? It would be interesting to develop an open way to sync all these fun organic generators.
