“Like all Blender donations, it will be spent on core activities for the Blender project, supporting human-driven development, art, and creativity”.

And what does Anthropic get in return?

People who need constant background noise to get through the day are afraid to be alone with their own thoughts.

“YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community.”

1. Bullsh*t it doesn’t and
2. Which one of those categories does an obvious satire / parody channel fall under?

Come on, Motorola. You already have a fairly decent line of existing Moto phones. There IS a huge market for folks who are concerned about their privacy.

The Linux Mint upgrade is recent and folks migrated from 22.2 to 22.3 You can see it right in the stats. Don’t know about Ubuntu.

Software that reads facial expressions could potentially make way for a hands-free user interface that doesn’t require talking out loud, reports noted.

That’s not what it will be used for, and they damn well know it. Whenever tech companies come up with new applications, always think of the most evil thing it could be used for. And it is ALWAYS about propaganda, surveillance and control.

This tech will be by authoritarians to scan faces in crowds, especially when those regimes give speeches. Looking for signs of ThoughtCrime: anger, incredulity, amusement, etc. Because if you show ANY of those signs, you’ll be added to the regime’s “list” even if you never carry a protest sign or say a single word.

I recently upgraded from Linux Mint 21.3 to 22.2 and my login screen STILL shows the Wayland (Cinnamon) display manager as “experimental.” Wayland runs a lot smoother on 22.2 and it’s a lot less crash-ey, but I don’t think it’s ready for prime time, yet. (Your own mileage may vary.)

I have NEVER uninstalled “Deus Ex.”

Being able to use my magical talking rock to talk to people on the other side of the planet.

Trump (more likely Miller) is trying to start a war with Venezuela to seize their oil. By randomly killing fisherman and getting Americans in Venezuela killed as “spies” it lets him have his “Remember the Maine” moment.

While the CIA has no problems farking with countries all over the world, we usually only find out about those operations long after they are are over. In other words, the CIA has never had a moron for a boss, who puts their lives in danger by telling the whole world what they’re up to.

Either Trump really is that stupid or he just made that up because he thinks it’s a cool flex.

Tampermonkey (Firefox extension) has a Youtube Tools script that still works for downloading.

Windows already has a rootkit on your computer. It’s called Microsoft CoPilot and Recall. Giving up things that hurt you shouldn’t be hard, when there are far better alternatives to Windows and EA.

Congratulations! If you feel you need further tip on safe driving habits I would start with

• Assume that everyone else on the road is a total maniac who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
• Don’t drive faster than is safe for current road conditions (rain, ice, fog)
• If you see a bunch of car taillights light up ahead of you, slow down! There’s a reason why they’re all doing that.
• Check out youtube videos like, “Idiots in cars.” There are plenty of examples there of what NOT to do. :)

The 5-layer burrito is delicious and it’s only $5. It’s a bargain, even with the extra meat option.

I’ve had 3 different graphics cards since 2009.

I have an nVidia RTX 3060, running on a desktop I built back in 2009. I’m running Linux Mint with the KDE Plasma desktop with no problems. All the Steam I bought on Windows, run with no problems under Linux.

Any non-Steam games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto or Deus Ex (1) run on Wine under the default settings with no problems.

I think adopting Proton was the smartest thing Valve ever did. They are going to capture 90% of gamers switching from Windows to Linux.

I’ve been using SearX for over a year now. https://priv.au/

It returns old-school, unranked results. It currently has at least 50 Instances you can choose from. https://searx.space/

China did NOT create a mosquito sized drone. They DID however create this awesome starship!

Seriously, how long are we going do the bi-monthly “China invents world changing technology” headline? These aren’t even good lies.
