It's not only a picture. It's a picture with a description. It's the starting point. You don't start a painting by going from blank canvas to finished product. You start with a sketch.

Now imagine if ip laws were removed. Any company could take open source work and sell it as their own while ignoring any GPL that requires the source code to be distributed.

Mass production started long before cars. The industrial revolution began in the 17th century. Interchangeable parts was invented by Eli Whitney. He showed a flint lock that could be assembled by anyone, instead of a skilled metal worker that needed to customize each part so they fit together perfectly.

Outside of art, machine made parts are far more perfect than hand crafted.

That was fine before mass production made perfect copies possible on an industrial scale.

You don't need the person when you can copy the object and produce it at volume and scale because you already own the factories.

My suggestion of a PO box had nothing to do with you personally.

It was simply a refutation of your claim that it was illegal to not have a permanent residence.

Erdős, one of the most famous mathematicians of all time didn't have a permanent home. He travelled and stayed in the homes of other mathematicians and scientists.

I don't know about Chile but in the US you only need a PO box. I suspect Chile is the same because there's probably a middle upper class that travels in mobile home/boats in retirement like in the US.

Requiring a way for society to communicate with an individual isn't slavery.

They run Linux but you don't need to know anything. They work out of the box. Guides are for upgrading to different user interfaces. You do need to learn how to make a copy of a micro SD card because the ones that ship with the devices are extremely low quality and will quickly fail. I use the one from Raspberry Pi. It's for installing pi OS but it does anything. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

Installing a different OS on a hand held is only picking a different image file like Knulli or GarlicOS when copying onto an SD card.

Kind of weird that there are all these anti liberal posts given the non stop Trump destruction of the US.

"Pay no attention to the atrocities of dear leader!"

"Goldstein and his liberals are the enemy!"

I was actually referring to the freedom to be a vagabond

I'm not sure how that relates to slavery. Freedom to be a vagabond still requires income from work. You are choosing to work odd jobs from place to place.

It wasn't a refutation. It was added information.

It's really stupid to believe aliens visited earth given the size of the universe.

Before Trump announced it publicly. Martha Stewart was jailed for less.

Not owning a house is slavery? What country today or ever in history had guaranteed a home?

Ideally, land should not be owned. Land is kept from pure ownership in progressive states through property taxes. You are in effect only renting the land from the state but keep the right to not be removed and the right to sell it.

If a movie rescinds the license to play then you get your money back.

Like when Amazon pulled to license for people who purchased 1984.

Biden did one thing?

Then why did Trump have to sign over 220 executive orders to undo Biden's work?

Is there any country now or ever where you didn't have to work until you died (on average) with a lottery (birth, talent, luck) that lets you be free by living off the work of everyone else?

Getting to choose your work has always been the only fredom.

I have/had ( bought for friends or myself) Anbernic 35xx, 35xx SP, rg cube x, 351 mp.

There are so many variations that it's really personal preference. Like are you doing 16:9 games or 4:3? I wanted something for old arcades like pacman and space invaders so I got the cube. That screen ratio also happens to work well for Gameboy

Yeah Miyoo only makes a vertical and a flip. Retro game corps says the flip has some quality control problems.

I have a RP3+ but after using it a while, Android is too much of a hassle.

Miyoo Mini or Anbernic equivalents running Linux are so much easier. There's no setup- just put your roms in a folder and go. I spent hours on the Retroid just trying to to get launchers looking nice and emulators configured.

But the critical feature is Android will never have a fast boot. When you hit the power on the Miyoo it saves the game state and completely powers down. It doesn't go to sleep like Android where the bat is dead a day later. The Miyoo will have power weeks later. And because it boots in 10 seconds right into the middle of the game exactly when you hit power off, it's not a problem to wait for a full boot.

If I needed a painting of a bird, it would be much easier to show the artist a photo of a bird and then describe how my idea differs from the photo instead of spending hours describing to the artist what the bird in my mind should look like.

Bradley didn't like that his boss wasn't standing over his shoulder describing everything while Bradley sketched the picture.

The other artists in the article had valid points.

So you would prefer lots of meetings, messages and redone work instead of someone showing you a picture that kind of represents what they want?
