Lost a couple hours of work on the snap version of krita since it couldn't save the file for some reason. Switched away from Ubuntu as a whole after that experience.

Have been to New Jersey, lyrics check out.

Why not?

Was thinking Nim because it's a couple of these.

OP we're gonna need some more pixels

This is funny in like an absurdist way, but I never really understood this argument. Human menstruation doesn't end up with them popping out a whole fetus.

Ah, Manhattan. Where pi = 4, and circles are diamonds.

The article is just really bad tabloid garbage

1. Does not even show the section of this bill that it is talking about
2. Source is just "Edward Snowden said a thing on twitter" (not shitting on Snowden, he's done some great work. I'm shitting on the article)
3. 

Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.

House of Leaves. It's a book that's been around for a bit, but I believe that it got popular with the zoomers because it was an inspiration for myhouse.wad

This is still true. The only way I ever listen to in the end is the half life animation.

I've only dabbled a bit with ML art, and I am by no means an artist, but it doesn't scratch that itch for me the same way that drawing or doing stuff in blender does. It doesn't really feel like I'm watching my vision slowly take shape, no matter how precise I make the prompt. It kinda just feels like what it is, a transformer iterating over some random noise.

I'm also a very technical person, and for years I was stuck in that same mindset of "I'm a technical guy, I'm not cut out for art". I was only able to get out of this slump thanks to some of my art friends, who were really helpful in pointing me in the right direction.

Learning to draw isn't the easiest thing in the world, and trust me I'm probably as bad at it as you are, but it's fun, and it feels satisfying.

I agree that AI has a place as another artistic medium, but I also feel like it can become a trap for people like me who think they don't have an artistic bone in their body.

If you do feel like getting back into drawing, then as a fellow technical person I'd recommend learning blender first. It taught me some of the skills I also use in drawing, like perspective, shading, and splitting complex objects into simpler shapes. It's also just plain fun.

Yes but to a lesser extent. The name Twitter doesn't sound like it's trying to be "cool internet thing" as much as X

I don't get why he's so stubborn on X dot com being a thing. Especially since when I hear dot com I think of the 90s or early 2000s, and specifically the dot com bubble.

x.social or x.net sound way cooler tbh.

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.

If we stuck with the "it works fine so I'm not moving away from it" approach then we'd all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should've been doing this from the beginning on wayland.

That's SCSS, cheater!

Finally, pure functional rust.

1. The hack mainly targeted Debian and fedora
2. Arch doesn't directly link openssh to liblzma, so the hack doesn't affect arch users.

"Give you a flipper" arguably makes it sound worse than the finger. Like it's vague enough to sound like a weird sex term.
