TIL that corporate blandness had a name.

I think it had it’s place as inoffensive background filler but obviously was overdone.

AI slop is usually so out of place everywhere and it’s quickly gone straight to abused.

The Nintendo Router

Fun side note, I’ve had more than one fun conversation where someone forgets to say “Nintendo” when asking about connecting a switch to my network (especially back when it was a new thing…)

You’re terrible. Take my updoot.

Crap on a stick. That’s such a common web comic thing. Because I ready the majority on a touch screen I forgot to even check for that.

Oh well, it’s in my folder of comics now. I’m since I’m caught up, I’ll probably let a backlog build up again for a month or two, and that’ll probably get me to re-binge chapters at random.

So, not to revive an old thread, but I have to say thank you for sharing this. I binged the whole series in the last two weeks. Magnificent.

UK vs US to me is “the same picture” meme to me, appropriately enough.

And then ctrl-z a bunch of times because fuckfuckfuck

Agreed. I look forward to more random Australia facts.

Someone woke up and chose violence this morning.

Windows is easier to install because the user didn’t install it.

GlobalMapper users high five! ✋

How the fuck does a potentially invasive species help fight data centers?

It looks more like punching yourself in the face?

Or am I out of the loop on some “not the onion” news story?

If it’s software that is self hosted and might be useful, I’m okay with it. We have the vote up/down to sort the wheat from the chaff. And worse case the comments can rip it apart and offer alteratives.

If it’s foss or whatever abso-fucking-lutely. I love reading about new things. I first learned of Orca Slicer in a post about Bambu Slicer on 3d printing community. I’m also all for supporting solo devs. I feel that closed source is a cromulent option that has been abused by corporations. But hey, like this is just, like my opinion dude!

The initial post might be spam, but it’s the discussion where the meat and potatoes live. Now, reposts of the same product (unless it’s to show off major new features like once a year) I do draw the line at.

Full transparency, I’m not super active in this community, but I love reading the stuff here.

Basically, we’ve only found pieces of Spinosaurus and every time something new is found, our understanding of what it might have looked like has changed drastically.

It’s been like 20 years since I saw salad fingers and I will still sit down and think about it randomly from time to time.

Sometimes I scroll through, see an obvious shit post in what should not be a shit post sub. I go into the comments and they are all “yeah, it’s true (personal example)” and I feel convinced a group of shit posters are just brigading the sub for the luls.

This is one of those moments.

It’s got what horses crave!

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Generally speaking, I will recommend software based on the audience’s core competency.

As of FreeCAD 1.0 I can’t in good conscience recommend against trying it, especially anyone that is new and just learning the principles of parametric CAD.

I get that it is still not as easy, and it’s especially hard for old dogs to learn new tricks, but I feel anyone that is willing to learn how to use CAD in the first place can now learn how to use FreeCAD.

I have personally found it very fulfilling to learn FreeCAD in the last year and know I’m no longer tied to any source of enshittification in my 3D printing pipeline. (Shoutouts to MangoJelly and Deltahedran on YouTube btw.)

I also feel that as that audience grows for FreeCAD and its popularity rises, that in turn helps the users of the proprietary software. Healthy competition is important after all!

I mean, for most of the post they tried not to and a single “her” fell out. Something to consider.

I feel it is an interesting question though. I too assigned genders while reading this the first time so is it naturally ingrained in me? Or is it because of the first person POV of text message exchanges like this?

Are women reading this and assuming the other way around? Would a different format (eg changing the bubbles to other side, or paragraph format like in a novel) change who we think is which gender?
