Hello!
I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

Google and Microsoft would be scrambling to pay off every single person associated with that before it ever hit the first courtroom floor.
Yeah, this too. My dad’s last GPU was AMD and he had to flip flop between versions to fix crashes. I wasn’t as lucky as no driver version was able to calm the crashing.
Anything to help them take on Nvidia and stay competitive is a good move. However, I wish they would also announce a recommitment to driver and software stability. I had to move to Nvidia for my workstation rig after having constant stability issues with numerous AMD cards across multiple builds. I can handle a few rough edges or performance that isn’t top-of-the-line but I can’t put up with constant crashes ad driver timeout errors. It’s annoying in games and devastating when I’m working.
I wish their GPU line received even a portion of the polish and care that their CPU line did.
People do tend to hate theft, yeah.
This. If people really want to buy something they will check all available websites for the item(s) they’re looking for. I still use CL exclusively and refuse to touch FB Marketplace even with a burner account because it requires a phone number.
I remember going to a job interview when I was younger. My dad dropped me off there on his way to work and then I took the bus home after my interview was done. It took my dad about 13 minutes to drive me to the interview and it took me TWO AND A HALF hours to take transit home. That includes bus travel time as well as time spent waiting for buses. I have also biked that route before and it takes about 25-30 minutes one-way.
The North American approach (because Canada is guilty too) to transit is to just throw a bunch of busses at the problem and act like they’ve “solved traffic”. Meanwhile those buses are noisy, stinky, often unsafe things which spend most of their time stuck in traffic and are almost always late, if they even arrive at all. Most of the bus routes in my city stop at midnight so if you were out at the bar for the night and needed a way to get home then you better have funds for a cab or Uber or you’re going to be stranded. (something something car-centric cities encourage drunk driving deaths somethingsomething)
Depending on the distance you need to travel - it’s often faster to just walk. That’s right, we have created a method of transportation that is actually slower than walking. And all the while our city planners, officials, and politicians pat themselves on the back for their “commitments to public transit”.
And don’t even get me started on how the war on unhoused people has lead to almost all bus stops being uncovered and with no seating. Raining? Fuck you! Snowing? Fuck you! 35c+ outside? Fuck you! Disabilities? Fuck you! What few covered stops I have seen usually have glass roofs so the sun still cooks you under them.
Maybe more people would use this method of transportation if it literally wasn’t intentionally made to be as miserable and useless as possible.
They should, but they should have to undergo regular evaluations from both their doctor and licensing agency. To counter this, they should also be offered free lifetime public transit passes and significant discounts for taxis, ride-hailing apps, etc.
That much weight cantilevering off the front fork seems like a nightmare for stability and steering.
A downhill bike with compromised safety equipment is such a recipe for disaster. A KG saved isn’t going to mean much when you wrap your neck around a tree trunk because your brakes were undersized and you couldn’t slow down in time.
Meh. They had plenty of time to move to Firefox but they ignored all the warnings.
Simple indeed, but getting people to actually stop using that trash heap website has proven to be very difficult.
I am very tired of Twitter users doing nothing but complaining about site changes and Musk yet they still just sit there… doing nothing about it. You’d think it’d be easy to rip the bandage off when it’s covered in fascist propaganda but apparently not.
This is a given for many kinds of services. Always purchase subscriptions on another device or direct through their website - never use your Apple devices’ app store.
A 1 year warranty tells me the company has no faith in their product.
Which is a serious concern when it’s a vehicle that may injure or kill the rider if it fails. These aren’t toys or everyday electronics like headphones. My bluetooth headphones have a crap warranty but they don’t propel me down the road at 35kph+
I’m not sure I’d call $7,500 - $10,000CAD “reasonably priced”
I love how they’re asking him gently as if he’s a toddler having a tantrum and not the criminally liable fascist he actually is.
I just went to my local bike shop and grabbed an affordable MIPS helmet that fit me and was comfortable. I refuse to pay $300+ for a piece of foam with cheap straps that will degrade in 2-3 years. Especially when all of them have to meet the same safety criteria anyway.
Large amounts of greed, corruption, and complacency.
Many of us don’t have the desire or ability to cough up $50,000+ for a badly made piece of shit that does nothing but violate our privacy and contributes to everything we hate about our cities.
