They don’t want anything preserved, because if it disappears, it can be “remastered” and resold like a brand new game with zero actual input capital.

And not even the good wood paneling, it was the grain-printed stained plywood shit that everyone used in the late 70s/early 80s.

That was always going to happen. Russia’s industrial base is collapsing and has been for a while, while China drools over the kind of natural energy and mineral resources that Siberia is full of. Plus, as climate change moves on and much of China overheats, those northern latitudes will continue to look more and more attractive. It’s beneficial for both sides of the respective imperialistic coin for them to trade for the thing the other doesn’t have.

I think the first thing I ever pirated was Cars. I was like 13, They didn’t have a VHS for it at the library and our home internet at the time was too slow to even think about streaming, so I figured out how to torrent and it took like 6 days to get a complete copy of the movie.

I ended up sticking to pirating and pack packratting all the movie files locally specifically because our internet was so bad.

Per the legal US definition, almost every SUV is a “light truck”, including my 1999 Subaru Forester…

@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The Forester up until 2008 was quite literally an Impreza/Legacy chassis that shares identical drivetrain components except for the body. It is unibody, Macpherson strut, symmetrical AWD and as far from a truck as you can get.

you’d think they would learn from Bloomberg’s billion dollar boondoggle that you can’t just throw personal money at a campaign and magically win when you have no other redeeming political qualities to make people care

Correction: They already listen to all of your calls and have been training their models on it

You already do that by using any Google product at all.

Are you sure that’s not just an abnormally large, anthropomorphic goose?

Might have also realized after Arrowhead got fucked on the Helldivers 2 fiasco that Sony is an unpredictable bear of a corporation that will instantly chew up and leave their “partner” studios hanging out to dry at a seconds notice.

It’s always been on ml. It just doesn’t get out to the normal communities that often…

I’m sure the CCP made some direct deposits lately though.

What's your go-to "Bang for your Buck" filament brand?

As I’m graduating college in a few weeks, I’ll be losing access to my university’s free printers and filament. I’m going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff....

Oooh, tangled. Thanks for reminding me about them. Having all US produced product is a nice plus and if they can keep it that cheap domestically, I’d happily buy it for all my bulk printing that doesn’t care about color. $15/kg is about as good as it gets these days.

empireOfLove2,
@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The bulk 10kg options look good. I might stock up on those and packrat a few colors since they dont’ really go bad

not even a hot take. the only people who seem to hate ubuntu are the hardcore linux nerds who like custom building kernels and shit- which, honestly, more power to them, but i have the big dumb and want click button make work.

Admittedly I don’t really like how they’re handling packages these days, it’s a bit messy with the whole snap vs flatpak vs apt thing, but whatever.

I currently run ubuntu alongside my windows install just because I needed linux to experiment with AI models, and the only AMD drivers that work for ROCm support are Ubuntu only (packages are permanently dependency-broken on other distros).

It is a reasonable sentiment, but unfortunately it has to be dealt with if hb is gonna keep triggering said drama, because it’s a common recurring theme across multiple instances.

HB doesn’t want to defederate because they lose more of their power as trolls and propagandists if they do.
