Finding the joy is something i'm working on. The frustration is when ideas in my brain seems so stimulating but the skill is not there yet. I need to think like kid me, he had a healthier mindset
I have no idea what I could ask you specifically, but I take note, thank you

This is so fucking hard to just take the tablet and thinking that I am not good enough. But I want it so much, feel guilty when I postpone training and all
I don't think I'll give up, but I think I will be very slow for now

To be fair, so many of your predecessors have showed that those things are not necessarily incompatible
I'm still a noob at drawing, maybe I'm easily amazed by a crosshatching made on a break (and by Falke). But I want to be amazed. Including by souls full of panic and anger

My default response, if one is able, is organise, pressure, make it unescapable, it is historically what works. Even if you and I have probably different opinions on the way to regulate the internet, entranched interests, erosion of personal liberties and moral panics are cancers that can be fought

So yeah OSA is controversial, but not enough to throw people onto the street. Not adressing core problems in my opinion, but attacking people that have not much power (not the tech oligarchs). So a perfect law for mediocre politicians, or politicians that can't imagine better

You nailed something important. Algorithm (and social media) is a power, particularly because it's "invisible". Chat control is not something that fundamentally threaten big tech. All of it might be cases of "penal populism" and moral panics. Useless criminalisation to say that you do something

different interest, like those who loves the algorith for political gain, those who don't see the problem, those who fear/love America and don't want to alienate them. So yeah an EU response would be powerful, but treaties make it fondamentally difficult, add the moles (Orban) and it's even worse

In theory it's not that difficult, EU commission places big fines and sanctions. And they all comply, or leave if they want to lose 400 millions european customers.
Problem is the EU treaty requires agreement between a certain minimum of states to put such a directive in place. And they all have

Fully agree. But adressing the toxic design is harder politically than blanket bans for whatever reasons. Even while they admit that social media as it is now is rotten to the core lol
But hey "digital sovereignty" while not owning the agora

I really hope the blueprint for age verification they are cooking will be fully privacy friendly, and used by EU states. Or at least mandate that third parties cannot store ID datas after verification. Otherwise I will probably use a VPN

I can't help but feel something like loss (dunno if right term). As I regularly resonate with what you write, be it in long form or even microblogging. Your expression is valuable, even if people are dumb
I can't wait to see your next drawings

Oh yeah I watched a lot of his vids ! You and him seem to have a similar preference for strong thighs and small torso
Right now I'm following a course. The hardest part for my brain is to accept to do stuff that I consider not good enough for a long time 🫠

It reminds me of this saying that writing is required to have a form of coherence, standards, so that the reader can immerse
But on the other hand, reality does not care about coherence, storytelling, progression etc. If reality was a fiction, editors would throw it in the trash for lazy writing

Absolutely, I made tremendous progress when I found classes that just told me how to move my hands and arms, how to properly grip the pencil, how to train to have control over the actual pencil and make lines that look like something
