Right, people shouldn’t inform themselves, we should all get our news only from online forums and blogs you politically agree with.

Why didn’t you just notify the users of the move ahead of the time?

I think FundMECFSResearch is right. Currently Luigi Mangione’s page has almost 900k pageviews in the last 30 days, whereas Trump has 1,700k. The lowest entry on the top 50 (Fallout (American TV series)) has a total of almost 10 mln views. So it’s clear that to make it into the list you have to be interesting to the public for multiple months, which Mangione hasn’t been (yet). Notice also that several items on the list are there thanks to the “echoing” of their prominence in 2023 - Oppenheimer (the man and the film), Saltburn and Poor Things (2023 films).

No. Contemporary culture is just fragmented (and some of the films are from India so practically nobody in the west has heard of them).

Yeah tbh, it’s just two shady companies trying to out-cheat each other.

Lemmy hug of… life?

You mean here on Lemmy? I think they disabled them on reddit anyway.

I clicked on this thread only to figure out what that title is supposed to mean.

I use W10 and I’ve gotten two full-screen ads for W11 in the last two weeks.

I don’t, in fact, think that every image of a naked person is pornography, so I won’t defend that view.

It’s basically a figure study in 4 parts.

Maybe you should slap your ophthalmologist instead. You’re acting as if the picture does not represent what it literally represents, or as if it does not have the effect that it clearly does have and which it also intended to have. I won’t argue any further against denial of reality.

Well, I guess that would be fair, as long as we don’t confuse sexual appeal with artistic value. (Saying this in particular due to a poster guy ITT who said an another poster critical of the painting should “get some culture”.) But the fact that it is posted on an art sublemmy and not some NSFW sublemmy, suggests that the confusion has occurred.

Pornography is not suddenly a great and important piece of culture just because it was nicely painted with a brush a long time ago. It is still pornography.

What do you mean by “getting some culture”? You mean perhaps studying art history? Because I guarantee countless artists, art historians and critics would deny this painting has much cultural value. The whole style has been heavily and justifiably derired. If anything, what is conservative here is the painting’s view of women (painted according to the sexual tastes of rich European men) and stereotypical treatment of foreign culture.

That’s true, but organising and managing such a distributed form of IA would probably be a nightmare of a job. I’ve seen many people suggest that to IA, but they seem to be very very reluctant about the idea.

Orientalism wasn’t an art movement, the picture is in “academic” style.

IMO your interpretation can be put in a more straightforward/blunt way: the painting is basically pornography built upon cheap cultural stereotypes. (And it really is bizarre that this sort of garbage art gets upvoted to much, simply because it has an air of refinement around itself that excuses its clearly pornographic character.)

If we’re going to stick to ancient Greek references, one of these is closer to the modern day Augean stables.

Huh? The public can store data on IA just fine. I’ve uploaded dozens of public-domain books there.

Chiquita and Nestlé come to mind. Within tech industry, I’d say Amazon and probably Microsoft are worse as well, and there’s probably a ton of potentially even worse companies lurking in the shadows outside the top of the economic food chain.

I’m worrying that whatever gets sold (Chrome or Android) might end up in the hands of someone even more scummy than Google.

If you’re thinking of American right-wingers and fascists who are currently celebrating Trump’s victory, I must say their view of the world is so dark, negative and pessimistic, that nobody could really describe it as utopia-like. This is a brief respite for them, nothing more.

If you’re thinking more abstractly, or of some very specific incredibly lucky people, then I guess it could be so.
