    Lmao.

  • There's an old stereotype that blonde women are often ditzy and unintelligent...

    ...Outdated and ridiculous a notion as it is, this outlandish belief would explain why Fox hires blondes exclusively and obsessively.

  • Github freaks out normies though.

    It needs to be flashy and garish and gaudy like all the other marketing material they're exposed to every day, so it feels expected and "trustworthy."

    That "ticker" is like the worst possible way to present that information though. What in the Macromedia Shockwave and Geocities is going on there lol.

  • Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?

    Jump

  • Yeah, when I get the urge to buy, I go through my library and pretend it's a "store", and "shop" for something I haven't played.

    Small psychological trick that...seems to mostly work. :)

  • Also if you wanna go real oldschool, Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity go for like 70¢ occasionally. :D

  • Just installed Mint for my elderly in-laws

    Jump

  • I'm definitely not an expert, but yeah that's kinda the case.

    Basically Mint will update core packages and security updates and such, but when Canonical gets another "bright idea" for Ubuntu like opt-out telemetry, or amazon results in search, or proprietary packaging formats (Snaps)...

    ...Mint will basically just leave that stuff out, and it never reaches the users.

    could any American explain to a foreigner how much freedom do federal legislators have to ignore their party, even to vote against it?

    Jump

  • the democrats have ignored their voters like this and sided with the republicans.

  • But I don't blame you. I think we're all hoping for some kind of dramatic course-correct at some point.

  • Trump Media to merge with nuclear fusion company

    Jump

  • But now, fusion feels like one of those interesting ideas that turned out to not be so practical in reality (not yet anyway), now transitioning into a grift.

    2020's: Time to invest! We're like 5 years away from fusion reactors, hyper loops, and general AI!

    2040's: Time to invest! We're like 5 years away from fusion reactors, hyper loops, and general AI!

    But hey at least the world now has Ai-powered human-slaying drone swarms thanks to all that VC. 👍

  • I love 3D art, and I want to make games eventually. I remember using my cracked copy of 3D Studio MAX to experiment and try things "just to see real quick!" when I was supposed to be doing more boring homework like report writing.

    I even kept my obsession after a community college semester with the most joy-killing professor on the subject you could ever meet.

    I dropped out of college because of life and found Blender, and kept learning as much as I could because I thought it was my ticket to a real job that didn't involve "How may I help you?" every single day. It was going to be my way out.

    Well, just a year or so ago I FINALLY got paid to do a freelance character sculpt. And...It took way longer than I hoped, I hammered on it like every single day, and I haven't touched Blender since wrapping that project.

    I really want to get back to modeling, but it made me realize I definitely don't want to be an "industry" 3D artist making stuff to someone else's exacting specifications for money. I still would love to sell a game on Steam or something some day.

    ...But I put a lot of skill points into these skills already, following what I love...so I'm kinda lost. Business and work is a realm that just makes me nauseous and anxious to think about as the water keeps rising, so to speak.

    So I guess I'm saying: don't make the thing you love your lifeline to surviving capitalist society, because unless that thing is "making money", doing it for money or clientelle chokes the joy out of most human endeavors.
