I'm slightly tired...

If any 2d animators are out there looking for some immediate paid work, I’ve got something short and fun for you on a live-action short film about kids with disabilities in a hospital.

DM me with your reel/work if you’re interested.

The first page being a choice between three things I know nothing about reminds me why big tech continues to kick open source's ass, despite increasingly terrible offerings.

Is the Cinnamon the easy one? You sure I don't need MATE that continues from GNOME?

Here's a business idea: make a Linux Distro called "BINDOWS 7."

Make the user experience EXACTLY like Windows 7, with Linux under the hood.

Don't force the user to make any more decisions than Windows 7 did.

Charge a one-time $200 a copy like Windows did for 30 years.

"Why not switch to Linux?"

Because up until pretty recently, big, shitty corporations paid #UX people to hold your hand into the unknown where Open Source is like getting a car delivered as a pile of parts dumped in your driveway so you can "make it how you want it!"

I'm setting up a spare PC with Linux because I'm so tired of Windows bloat/spyware.

Following a guide that suggests Mint as "easy to adopt from Windows."

Step One: "which version of Mint do you want?"

😑

Why tf would I know that? I just want Windows 7.

#OpenSource drives me fn crazy.

As a station wagon owner who just drove over 2000 miles in a sedan, I'd like to reiterate that trunks are bullshit.

You don't have to be in Oklahoma long before the whole "red dirt" thing makes sense.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Hey gang! Are there any Melbourne/Victoria-based 3D modellers looking for short contract work right now? Summerfall is currently on the lookout for contractors to do hard-surface environment work for a new prototype, like furniture and all that. 🔨🪑

Send through portfolios! 🙂 Cheers!

So, what's the Signal version of Discord?

I guess you can send pictures before they're uploaded. Neat!

I am from Seattle so I guess I hope they win

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've uninstalled this fucking AI malware.

Most good headphones have replaceable foam for less trash materials but yeah, makes you wonder why the bother with the trash version (planned obsolescence of course)

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Late-Stage Silicon Valley:
1. Come up with some broad new alpha-stage tech
2. Invent non-problems for the tech to “fix”
3. Show investors a fake demo to sell them on promises of cutting human labor
4. Shove the untested tech into places consumers don’t want it
5. A few fatalities 🤷‍♂️
6. Profit?

If you are from one country and live in another or are traveling, you are often quite up-a-creek if you don't have a VPN. Not even for luxuries like streaming but necessities like insurance or health care.

This used to not be necessary but the internet sucks now so we do what we have to do.

Jag outside, Ford inside is a good combo (I say this as a Chevy guy.)

Frequent travel is a good way to expose how dumb "smart things" really are. Languages switch the moment you cross a border, online orders try to hijack to your old address. It's all so delicate.

I've owned a couple of early 00s cars and they're still great.

I think your jag is from the Ford-owned era so it might be a bit more reliable than some of the older offerings :)

They truly don't make them like they used to. I own no cars from this century, nor do I ever plan to.

The enshittification continues. Using Facebook from a PC, I can no longer message people until I install their app. "For security!"

Whenever you're feeling down about your life, remember that the richest man in the world is a ***total fucking loser.***

This list also clearly shows how Japanese cars secured a strong place in the American market (starting in the 70s but we sure didn't give much competition til the 90s.)

Excellent choice

Reminder here’s some adobe alternatives, Because FUCK ADOBE….

Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site
