Dang, Prince of Thieves got bad ratings? I always just assumed everyone loved it like I did.
Man, I'm just glad to finally see someone else saying they have issues with Fedora. Everyone seems to think it's amazing and stable but it never lasts more than a few months for me. I don't do any tinkering or hacking or anything, just web browsing, Python coding, some light gaming with Steam. Arch and Debian both hold up great for me doing the same stuff.
"Our battle will be legendary!"
Thanks for the nudge. Today might be the day I actually dive into this stuff!
Uh-oh. As a shallow level science lover I've always liked and respected Feynman and how he has presented science to layfolk like myself. I'm expecting some disappointing information when I dig into this video tomorrow.
Yeah, my impression was that it was more about contributing to a statement of some kind than actually expecting this feedback alone would cause Google to change it back.
I can see how there could be worry over some people thinking this is all it takes, and considering their resisting achieved after just one token action instead of going on to do other stuff as well.
Stay strong my long-necked ally, let's all build one another up!
YouTube and Voice are the two I haven't found great alternatives for. Odysee seems like it might have potential for video stuff? And I use a Peertube instance for uploading videos, but people will only ever see those if I send them the link; it doesn't have the community/discoverability aspects. Not that I'm looking to be discovered, but I can see how it isn't particularly viable for people who are.
Sometimes resisting requires more than 15 seconds of your time.
Right, exactly. It seemed strange to see people acting as if spending 15 seconds of idle time on one's phone to do a goofy little "resistance" act described in the original post was somehow actively harming any kind of meaningful resistance. I wondered if there was some quick and easy yet somehow far more effective action I could have taken during those few moments.
I've de-googled, forsaken Amazon, embraced Linux and open source free software (rather than apple/Microsoft etc.), tried to be aware of bad companies like Nestlé and not buy their stuff, stood with signs, protested, pestered politicians, done my best to stir up unrest against the ridiculously awful things going on. I'm hoping to find more I can do, I am by no means an expert at this stuff, I'm learning as I go. But I think I'll still also have the time to do derpy little things like nag Google with feedback while sitting on the can browsing Lemmy.
Penguin, penguin ...
Curse you, Network Effect!
I wish I could explain exactly why Matrix just doesn't feel great. I think it's a combination of janky-feeling clients and how uh ... Servers? Rooms? Communities? Circles? Whatever those are... are set up.
Wish XMPP was being given more of a chance.
This is Agni the plasmoid cleric, my son's D&D character as drawn by me in MacDraw II. I'm trying to get some experience with action poses.
The Rescuers wasn't exactly one of my favorites growing up, but it still made it into my rotation from time to time. It cracks me up how into the performance these two get at this part of the Rescue Aid Society song. Go get em, Latvia and France!
Seam (pronounced "Shawm") is my favorite Deltarune character. Everything about him, from his design to his dialogue to his lore, tells you that this old stuffed cat has been through some things. Despite clearly having come out the worse for wear from his experiences, he maintains a sense of positivity - almost a gleeful nihilism. I always got the impression that he actually cares a bit more than he lets on.
I just could not figure out what to do with his mouth to make it not look quite so flat. Overall, this one was a lot tougher than I thought it'd be.
The Sheriff of Nottingham was that character I loved to hate. He could be so sleazy and it was hilarious watching all the townsfolk react when he'd show up pretending to be likeable. His design and voice acting made him one of my favorite characters in the movie.
The character Vivi from Final Fantasy IX, tied with Steiner as my favorites in that game (so cool that they can combo attack together!). Hands are hard, but I'm proud of the "shading" on the knobbly staff! I also think the thicker 2pt lines look better than the 1pt lines I've been using in the past.
As per usual while I'm still in this learning stage, I used a reference image.
My attempt to use MacDraw II to draw (copycat) the popular image of Calvin's "Tracer Bullet" alter-ego from Calvin & Hobbes. I wanted some practice with the neat shadow technique.
Agree, but also think it might kind of be a part of what makes it great. Didn't go so long to get ruined. Gave us just enough to love it and imagine what could have been. Everyone gets to have their own fantasies of where it might have gone next.
