If you gaze long enough into a screen, the screen will gaze back into you

The bigoted MAGAt who has done the most to make my life miserable is an atheist. 🤷

e. Just one, but wouldn’t it be better to spend 6 months making a program that screws in light bulbs automatically? We could save a whole minute of developer time per bulb. It’d pay for itself in developer time after just… lessee… 6 months times 30 days per month times 24 hours per day times 60 minutes per hour… 2.6 million automated bulb screw-ins or so.

Gross.

…on helium.

Jack Thompson is kindof the boomerest boomer, isn’t he?

I did the Steamboat Willie at https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=372&y=189&zoom=30 . The “encroacher” I was referring to in the OP was the rat standing on the green grass with flowers just below. I did a… fairly decent job of moving the rat away from Willie, but someone else has come along and removed the rat’s head. 🤷 I dunno.

The flag to the right of Steamboat Willie is fine, IMO. Like, if they want to make the “white” parts of Willie transparent such that other things show through, that’s fine with me. But just obliterating my Steamboat Willie is a step too far! Lol.

“Tea” is actually short for “tea tree leaf broth”. Trust me. I’m an entomologist.

Low key, soup is actually a kind of tea, though.

Woah. I want a real-world DBZ gravity room.

Don’t leave us in suspense. Is your wife a plumber or a chemist?

Even theoretically, we have no prospects for manipulating gravity. No way to, say, generate a gravitational force without a lot of mass or remove the gravitational influence of a large mass. The closest we can get is tricks like using freefall-like motion to simulate microgravity within Earth’s gravitational field. Or (and I don’t think this one’s been done, but it’s theoretically pretty straightforward, if involved engineering-wise) using rotation to mimic the effects of gravity in microgravity. I suppose one could also argue that being in orbit simulates microgravity even though you’re well within the gravitational influence of Earth. Oh, I guess I can also mention that people training to be astronauts sometimes train underwater because that simulates some of the conditions of microgravity. But yeah. The closest we come to what you’re asking about is “tricks”.

there’s no way to tell it verbally.

I just told it to someone verbally by spelling out the word rather than pronouncing it.

Take your slop machines elsewhere.

“AI” is bullshit. Don’t use it.

I’d have to stop before I could start.

Python rebuilds don’t cause (noticeable) problems for AMD64 Arch Linux.

And any time anyone offers any kind of help on the Arch Linux Arm forums to try to help resolve the issue, the admins ignore and/or lock the thread. They’re not open to help and the people on the forums are super frustrated about it.

This is great information! I’m definitely no expert at 3d graphics and I’m mostly learning as I go, and this all gives me a lot to look into. Thanks much!

Good stuff! I am likely to change the name, and this is good inspiration. I kinda like “3Gee”. Might have to think and maybe riff on that and see if there’s good option related to that or maybe just go with “3Gee”, heh. We’ll see.
