AI is about to join the list of "stupid technologies that people should really wait and see before investing on", which includes

  • 3D TVs - complete dud
  • Blockchain - useless for real world problems already solved by typical computing
  • Metaverse - still one of the best jokes around
  • Folding screen phones - overpriced junk
  • Fully autonomous self driving cars - "Just around the corner" for the past 10 years

Just noticed that the Sonic Advance games haven't been re-released in the west, they're tough but good platforming games of the GBA era. Sonic Battle is another GBA game that is actually a fun battler.

Of the 3D games, people always prefer Sonic Adventure 2, which I also think is better than Sonic Adventure 1 - it shows its age more than 2 - and although most people don't seem to like it, most levels of Sonic Heroes are interesting or fun, but having to play through all of them 4 times to unlock the final ending is a fucking chore.

PS1, I had the original gray box and later the small white boy. Both modded to accept any CD from the get go (yay for Brazilian piracy!), which brought me great joy once broadband internet reached my home in late 2003.

Really telling that between "being exposed as an unfaithful husband" and "being "threatened" to be "friends" with the owner of pedo island", he preferred the latter.

Brazil has a "Republicanos" (lit. Republicans), which used to be Republican Party until a few years ago. The party is more or less controlled by the Universal Church (Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus, IURD), a massive criminal organization that scams people out of their belongings and somehow still passes as "religion".

I really wish to get to that level. I already avoid a lot of corporate internet sites, but I still have to deal with whatsapp and, to a lesser extent, discord. My car is is an old piece of junk because that's what my salary can sustain, if/when i get a new one, I'll want the same amount of "smart" features as everything else in my home: zero. Computers (also phones and tablets) only connect to the internet via firewall.

Clearly not fireball, that's the problem

I'm frankly amazed that companies still insist on creating their own launchers, despite every company getting well deserved flak whenever they do it.

I recently found out that you can get up to 3 free .eu.cc domain from GNAME, which also claims that you can renew for free when its within 90 days of expiring. So I got one to check it out.

Obviously, the next step is making one of my local machines act as the target destination for any queries to the address, so it becomes accessible for the wider web. I'm not entirely sure, however, what to configure on GNAME (there's the option to setup A and AAAA records, which I suppose I should just point to my IP, but there's also CNAME, TXT, NS, SRV and what configurations/programs my local server (rPi 3) needs to have running besides a webserver (Apache2 or Nginx)

My intent is to have it run a single-user fediverse server, possibly friendica, as it seems to have the best support for seeing all sorts of APub posts. If that proves too heavy for my old pi, I'll try one of the lightweight APub alternatives

I know I'll also need to do some configurations on my router, so I'd appreciate help on this, too.

It's something that I often wondered. Acetone, even diluted as nail polish remover, does a great job of cleaning prints and, unlike IPA, doesn't leave the piece with an awful smell.

Is it mainly price, or are there other reasons?

Title. I'm looking for resins with the lowest Shore hardness, the lowest one I've found (that I can buy on aliexpress) is Resione F39, with Shore 60-75A. Ideally, I'd want to get something closer to Shore 30-40A.

So, failing that, anyone with a higher understanding of chemistry can explain what additives are usually added, resulting in a cured resin with greater elasticity?

As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".

In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

By analogic age, I mean before computers became widespread.

I want to have something more visual than just the description of the processes involved, especially how a finished B&W art was made into something that could be printed several times

It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.
