This is pretty fun!

No way I as far as I can see, looks like they're using the unreal engine for the 3D animations, it's pretty nice work!

I think the way things work is that you can stop talking about that bad thing you did after you've apologized to everyone, they accept it, and you fixed as much of what you broke as you could

I think this also applies to countries

Two bears standing on a roadside, appearing to be roaring at each other. A yellow road sign is visible in the background.

A large pig, surrounded behind in a semicircle of 5 dogs, sit on a rug in a living room, facing the camera.

“I don’t think you understand. This place? It belongs to me and my friends now. You can either leave through the door, or through the window. Capeesh?”

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way. Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto- Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen. Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic? Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all. Extremely realistic Green: Of course. Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion. Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag? Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

Back when posting was good

Also a true thing, but this is different

I attribute it to bro-ey "move fast and break things" culture combined with an insistence to not finish a product not only before launch, but ever

And then layer on a "Sure, we'll lose some of them, but most customers will stay no matter how we treat them"

In other news:

I am SO tired of companies just changing things with no care to the consequences

How is it that WD thinks it's ok to push firmware updates and use a drive fail state as a user notification?

End of year, I'm finally getting out of bed with WD NAS

SUUUUUUCH junk

When newspapers were king, it was "Don't believe everything you read"

Today, I suspect it ought to be

"Don't read everything you see"

When you're sleepy but you get the job done anyway.

I'll play, but with TV

- Breaking Bread
- Fleabaguette
- Law & Order: BLT
- Kate & Bialy
- In The Wheat of the Night
- The Vanderpumpernickel Rules
- Babka Newhart
- Tic Tac Sourdough

There our society has decided are not allowed:

- Can't sell your organs
- Can't agree to a contract that results in your death
- Children can't sign binding contracts
- Can't secretly buy life insurance on your spouse

Now let's think of all the other things we could say no to as a society

This is Dumbo, Mela, Peaches, and Chiquis. They are a championship napping team. Their built-in sleep masks give them that competitive edge. 13/10 for all (TT: brokeboilopez)

If you watched episodes of Black Mirror and thought

"Thank goodness that will never happen!"

Well, buddy, I don't know what to tell you

Enjoy the remaining time when that will be true, I guess

I feel like this is the beginning of raccoon Goodfellas

Day164 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution

PRI's current entryway decoration is fossil bivalves Ptychopteria (Cornellites) fasciculata, but perhaps a bust of John (H. sapiens) if he helps? #SavePRI 🦑⚒️🧪

Let me know when they're free

Sounds like corporate apologist claptrap

Have we not learned from the past?

Idealism in the face of corporate profit will always lose

The only reason companies want to do this is to make more money

Period

This is Zebby. He finally managed to catch his tail. Super proud of the accomplishment and would like to pretend no one saw the part right after. 12/10 (IG: zebbythegolden)

Glad to see I'm not the only one getting regularly distracted for an hour from a task because this or that tool has decided this is the day it will fail in some way that requires debugging

Why is it that most companies don't actually finish their products before upgrading them?

I am once again asking you not to buy a mono-rail from this man.

You might wonder how they landed on “hairy balls milkweed” as a name but then you see it and:

What do we think *will* cause the bubble to pop?

It helps that most of these tools are far from perfect, but the cheap/free LLMs that we could download are doing just fine for scammers and AI slop on YouTube

Or maybe a scam?

They never sent out a survey, which they could use to get this info, so it's weird they are asking in this way

Lesson either way: in a world where anything weird could be a phishing scam, if you REALLY need some info, at "least" don't put the "request" in "quotes"

Received from a KS creator:

I am contacting each of you to request a "Telephone" Number for your packages. While Kickstarter does NOT ask for this information... New era of shipping with Tariffs, VAT Taxes and generally any tracked package requires a "Telephone" Number.

Weird, right? Like it's AI?
