The finish looks impressive for a print. Which filament did you use?

She looks like she’s about to walk into the dimly lit bar with a guitar, sit down on the stool on the slightly raised stage area and, without saying a word, start playing some bluesy licks, upon which the bar will go silent.

You know how open-hardware gadgets often have a statement like “trans rights are human rights” or “black lives matter” printed on the circuit board? One wonders whether ModRetro have similar statements, only fascist/reactionary, on their boards or chip dies. Perhaps some Crusader motto in Latin, or the chapter and verse of a particularly harsh Bible passage, or just some 14s and 88s scattered all over the place.

We need to fork Firefox and fund enough developers to make it viable as a standalone project that’s not just a laggy, disenshittified version of Firefox. It has been done with LibreOffice and CoMaps, so theoretically it is possible.

But you’ll never own a copy on a DVD/BluRay.

Given that he was a theoretical physicist, the path from his research to anything affecting business revenue would have been long and convoluted, so unless they’re killing large numbers of physicists just in case, it’s unlikely.

Peans is a dessert.

This one looks like an uglier version of Optimus. Not sure if it can be any worse to use, though.

Some supermarkets sell packages of 3 labelled as “Traffic light”

Unless it’s the Spanish Civil War, where the Comintern spent more effort killing anarchists/social democrats than fighting the fascists.

I’ve seen the assertion that silver is a safer bet than gold. Less glitzy, but still precious and with more industrial uses.

Of course, if civilisation collapses completely, neither will matter unless someone will trade you something for your krugerrands.

How does one even get 10,000 global variables in a piece of code? Did they write it by beating their heads against the keyboard until it compiled or something?

If the stereotype of autistic people having an oversensitive sense of injustice and not accepting commonly socially accepted rationalisations justifying it are true, then that could disqualify them from police work, given that the job is about enforcing the law as it is written.

On the other hand, a few well-connected people would miss out on sizeable profits, so who’s to say which option is better?

No house, only slop

Monotype in 2025 are private-equity ghouls, right?

Does the iOS one get this sweeping access to everything as well (which would require Apple to specifically give it entitlements)?

“A new life awaits you in New Taipei”

The mining oligarchs (Rinehart, Palmer and such) bet big on the conservatives winning power and undoing the energy transition Trump-fashion at the last election, and lost spectacularly. The conservatives are out of power, and it appears to be for a long time, so the chickens are coming home to roost. The government is by no means a radical one (regardless of what some of the more unhinged propaganda from the fossil-funded right says), though as the markets themselves are leaning towards renewables on economic grounds alone, they’re trying to balance this transition with keeping the economy stable. Hence officially promoting the transition and funding decarbonisation of energy whilst still approving coal mines.

It’ll be longer. AI will be there to accelerate the cadence, turning “knowledge workers” from artisans who have the relative luxury of solving problems autonomously at their workstations intro assembly-line labour who hurriedly sling prompts and patch up botshit.
