So, what’s the alternative?

That’s literally what they told us back when I still studied Latin

Cassettes! And bandcamp

Yeah I don’t know about the ethics of that…

They claimed it’s for “safety” as “microsoft is to be trusted more than OpenAI” oh the irony!

also, not really higher ups to dictate our IT what to use, that makes it even better…

IT department at my job encourages everyone to use Copilot and try to implement it more… I don’t even know WHY I’d do it in the first place

Tenacious D - Kickapoo

that’s… certainly an opinion…

I’m not your bro, dude!

bro…

Have a job in online communications, works for me.

Yes, this! No annoying purists in the cassette community (they might be there, tho, but haven’t encountered any yet so there’s that)

Oh I do have a lot of records as well, but cassettes have their charm as well! It’s easy to take them on the go (provided you have a walkman, which ALSO has its charm hahaha) and a lot cheaper than records. I like to collect my music on physical media, and cassettes make that very easy for me. A lot of the more “underground”/indie bands I listen to still release their music on tape as well. Plus, it’s very satisfying, indeed. I didn’t really grow up with cassettes (I’m 27), but nonetheless it has a certain feel to it.
