SAME. A bright spark of joy and then…

I’m surprised to see no one else mention that it only took them an hour and a half to get an inspection done, signed of on and the lines reopened? That seems pretty impressive for something as important as a rail bridge.

Because the ai will gaslight you into thinking it’s learned a lesson when it hasn’t. Also they’re fucking stupid. You’re welcome!

I have the sevre side stuff all set up as far as I know but I’ve not been able to get the Roku app to connect. I should note the tv is literally on the other side of the wall from my computer, they’re on the same network.

I agree with everything except relegating Blender to organics and decorative designs. Blender is absolutely viable for hard surface /mechanical modeling. Even without the parametric addons. The Boolean modifiers are much more reliable than they used to be and all the tools for manipulating objects makes the whole design process very fast. Everything I make these days is almost entirely non-destructive, which means edits are painless as well.

There are of course limitations such as compound fillets being very difficult to execute cleanly if not downright imposible in some cases.

Have you tried the parametric addons? I can’t imagine they work all that well but I haven’t looked into them in the past 5 or so years.

You don’t need a powerful computer for blender unless you’re doing rendering or sculping or working with really high poly models. Especially when compared to proper CAD packages. I do a lot of design work in blender and my computer is so unstressed by it I can hear the CPU chirping when I rotate the viewport.

It’s worth learning the basics of a parametric CAD but blender will do virtually everything faster and give you greater freedom and control over the exact geometry it outputs.

I think a lot about the Scandinavian prison where the guards forgot to lock the cells and the inmates used the night to do some baking.

I do agree on principle but somewhere in the back of my brain it’s going “what about repeat violent offenders.” But I feel like any solution I can come up with could be pretty easily used by the state as a force of marginalization anyway. So back at square one.

I imagine they could compile large datasets of ping times and server locations and do some extrapolation. I don’t think it ever goes past a best guess but they’d have an idea (if what this person said actually happens).

I’m trying to move to Linux so that’s terrifying.

They do what to boot drives?

Okay hold up. If you can get attached to a cat you can get attached to a spider. Getting attached to an AI is weird I agree but when you give a lil jumping spider water and it gets comfortable around you an just starts hanging out… There something behind those eyes, and that’s cool. Two living beings recognizing each other, maybe not as equals obviously, but outside of the predator-prey dynamic. Idk there’s beauty in that.

Can you tell me more about what secure boot does in this correct? (Assuming this isn’t a joke)

Iirc using the ‘delete’ button just does the equivalent of breaking the link to a picture. The data is still there.

does anyone still gets a newspaper?

hey don’t you disparage bourbon like that. bourbon isn’t a fascist :c I hope

This is the only real tenable choice.

they don’t have to be industrialized murder facilities to be concentration camps.

But not Professional? Just Enterprise?

Also this is very much not the same world as when XP came out, considering you can accidentally upgrade your os instead of having to watch your father angrily fail to install service pack 3 for four hours.

And why Fedora?

lots of very very rich people
