I’ve had to use some W11 virtual machines for school. Absolutely miserable user experience, both for everyday tasks and power users. Just… why?

It’s ye old “part of franchise I don’t like isn’t canon”. I feel like it’s more apt for the sequels since the prequels are actually by the original author. Plus I like em lol. They brought us great memes.

Do I need context for DS9 for this? I never got around to watching any of it.

Totally! Also, I get it, not everyone likes long video essays.

I mostly posted this because of the generally dismissive attitude of some people on the internet towards modern art. It is only logical that while there is good abstract paintings, there are also not so good ones. In the end it is also quite subjective.

In the end, I think art museums and other places that display art could and should do a better job at giving the context for a given piece to understand it. There is this perception that good art is understood regardless of its context, but I don’t think that’s true. No art is made in a vacuum, and knowing the historical and maybe even personal context to a piece can truly enrich it (as it has done for me with the works of Pollock).

I really like this explanation of modern art. Personally, I don’t connect to this painting either, but I also have no context for it.

Edit: I do actually think this painting would be awesome to see IRL. Just look at all this texture.

Igowallah.
