Because the "generated" art is more accurately described as "stolen".
tedajax··on Get your staff's consent before you monitor them, tech inquiry warns
That's precisely the point of their comment though. There's more context than just how long Netflix was open. It's not a "bad look" if it's literally how you do your job and are productive.
tedajax··on Amazon to force 'voluntary resignation' on workers who don't relocate
Because saying "you can keep your job if you uproot your life" isn't a fair choice.

When I was first getting into Linux ~2006-2007 I distro hopped constantly until a friend told me about Arch and then there was no more reason to distro hop :)
tedajax··on Food security and the coming storm
When you order food you can do other things while you wait for the food to get to you ya dingus.

Shit a microwaved meal takes 5 minutes and requires almost zero work.

It's just unreasonable to expect everyone to do everything for themselves all the time.

tedajax··on Food security and the coming storm
I enjoy cooking but it's pretty silly to suggest everyone do it. Beyond the time commitment there's also equipment and space concerns and also some people just aren't good at it.
