Orgasmically?

“StackOverflow is down” is the more common cause where I work

The bottleneck isn’t acquiring plastic. The bottleneck is everything else.

This is spot on. I’ve had resin printers for ~6 years now, I’m quite skilled at adding supports to models (and despise pre-supported ones). I bought the first one fully intending to print RPG minis and maybe also make my own 40k army. Printed a lot of minis, printed some on commission, sold some, including 40k, but never made an army, “my” army, I get stuck at choosing a force/faction and then making the composition. The ready made combat patrols just feel “meh”

Most importantly, I only know one 40k group and they play ~30km away from where I live. I already do that kind of trip every single day for work, so that was a huge dampener to me.

Same reason people prefer the original thing over cheap copies, even the perfect replicas. This is valid for pretty much everything: art, clothing, videogame cartridges, plastic toys, boardgames.

I’m on a number of telegram groups that shares models, there was a big nuking last year, with them going unlisted, but still active. Russians don’t give a fuck

The main driver for lock in is hardware. Like I said in my comment

Only a limited number of models can receive custom roms.

Sounds like a ptbr only thing, then

What’s the size difference when you remove the porn stuff from the torrent?

TL;DR: cloud or not, maintain your agency.

Even that is getting harder, thanks to google and micro$hit doing everything they can to lock down their respective OSs. Linux on a desktop, yadda yadda, but we’re ~12 years into the smartphone era and we still don’t fully own those electronic pieces of shit. Only a limited number of models can receive custom roms.

Hmmm, I got a few ideas, not necessarily to make a “better now”.

One is for Unix’s initial development to only begin in the mid 1980s, instead of the 1970s, which would hopefully result in some of its more obnoxious “features” not existing. rm -rf / - No asking for confirmation, because that will certainly not have any undesired consequences! The main downside is that we wouldn’t have the Unix-Haters Handbook

Another is making RISC style CPUs the default for desktop computers, whether the originals by Acorn or even with Intel deciding to make their own ARM x86 series all the way back in the 80s. I’d pick this one.

I wouldn’t figure that one by myself, thank you

Rakuel’s post on steam is very interesting

I made this game during the summer in couple months and thought to use AI because in university there is so much brainwashing on students and all the tools are given for free, so I could generate unlimited images for free and so.

Emphasis mine. Universities playing a role in this annoys me a lot.

Some AI companies can use this game just existing as a reason the get more investment for their AI companies, that benefit no one, but rather suck resources from the economy from hard working people.

I think this part alone is incredibly important and the real eye-opener for him.

Rice, corn, beans, fried chicken and half an onion.

I thought people would miss the keyboard on smartphones. Turns out we are a small minority

Singled them out because they’re the most used to seeing “autoplayers”, aka bots

When artists now are now asked, after years of being on social media platforms and these lackluster art sites, what their dream art website looks like.
They describe a store.
A store that is allowed to sell pornography also.

Capitalism and the greater opportunity to live off your art are definitely one of the biggest death causes of most community oriented sites. The moment money enters the equation, fun gets kicked off. Why show off your art around if there’s no profit to be had and the clout can’t be transformed into money?

The author finding Artfight and mentioning how it has no monetization further drives this point.

. And useless, even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does.

That’s how I feel coming across half of github projects or frameworks.

Cartman is a great character and one that, despite being a complete piece of shit of a human, is likable because the stories are better with him around. He’s also a great depiction of certain segments of society - arrogant, envious, greedy, self centered, manipulative, petty, sore loser, whiny, bitchy - which are too dense to realize he’s supposed to be a parody of them and not a role model.
