Happy Cake Day (in Minecraft)

That anonymizes Google results. It’s Google, all the way down.

Can we stop doing anti-trans “I identify as…” jokes?

If you use Steam quite a bit, check out the ProtonDB Web site. That can tell you the level of compatibility. 90% of my library seemed to be covered, and it’s seamless. I was impressed!

Edit to say: One problem I had was getting my Brother printer to work over WiFi. That was some annoying arcane wizardry, but I finally got it to work.

Cheaper option: invent a time machine. Go back 30 years. Buy up all of the cardboard with the word Mox on them, and everything with a black border. Travel back to 2025. Sell cardboard and retire!

And thoughts like, “What kind of fucking moron votes for this guy 3 times, and then whines about getting screwed by Trump on national TV?”

I’ve heard “dub-dub-dub”. But yeah, saying the abbreviation is longer than the words it’s abbreviating! 😀

I guess it depends on intent.

If you’re just conjuring images for your D&D game with your buddies, so what.

If your intention is monetizing and selling it, then that’s probably a problem.

The point is, the artist has an idea and their to use it to communicate something to you. Does the art make you feel anything other than frustrated? Usually I try to figure out what the artist was saying with the piece.

It’s also possible that the artist did not do a good enough job in their communication.

My unsolicited opinion as an artist of a few different media.

Good art communicates emotions and feelings of the artist to the audience through its medium. Parody is “new” when it takes an original artist’s message, and responds with another artist’s absurd take.

Without emotions or feelings, a computer just wings it, and tries to simulate it. It’s like receiving a message from an insincere person - maybe pretty but ultimately shallow and hollow.

In the future, computers will be better at faking it. However, I think that will make real art from humans more valuable, not less.

I bet Trump has other people pay fines for him. “Take it out of the special Russian account.”

1. So what?
2. Damn straight they are locked. Other wise you get Nicole spam on all of them, instead of just a few.
3. So what?

The buck stops with the previous guy.

Wow, are you me? Because this is a pretty accurate biography of my life!

When I hear that, I am inwardly proud of myself in spite of being ADHD.

It feels like the rest of the world is running on a flat surface, and I’m running uphill. It’s not fair, but it is what it is.

I’m asking for…

NO A.I.

to work harder for no reason

I think the reason might be money. There’s very little money in, “Here’s some free salvation for you!”

It’s now a 401.

I was thinking of buying a Synology system. I was actually looking at prices this past week.

That being said, I’ve got an old 2019 desktop running Windows that is coming to the end of its support, that I was considering making a Linux machine.

How complex is making a roll-your-own NAS?
