This is a funny analogy because Blender was a game engine at one point and failed.

Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

Install Linux

Default Cube is a playable character in Super Tux Kart, although unofficially through a user created addon which can be downloaded through the game’s addon feature.

What I take from this is that birth certificates should have photographs.

This was me in courses that used C. Keep adding and removing * and & until the IDE was happy and it usually worked.

If I don’t see another “happy cake day” post again it’ll be too soon.

To be richer than 90% of people you need to have a net worth of $90,000 USD.

You know somebody has to link this.

Hot is generally broken, I use top 6 hours to get new posts that actually have comments.

Since nobody’s mentioned it yet, GIMP is a free and open source photo editor available on Mac, Windows, and Linux that can open .webp files and save them as a different file format easily.

I doubt that the fine outweighed what they gained through these practices. With a $95 billion dollar revenue last year this is a meaningless operating cost.

Been a bumpy ride the last few days but it’s back up now.

Maybe failed is a strong word. It wasn’t very popular and support was dropped out of Blender a few years back but it seems to have new life under the fork UPBGE.

This is a good meme

Considering the amount of plastic beverage bottles, food packaging, styrofoam, etc that you’ve eaten from in the past X years (think of changing regulations like BPA before 2008-09) , this isn’t going to harm you if you do it occasionally.

I am not a doctor.

I don’t watch anime but the Japanese make some great stuff. Cars and video games particularly.

Not being able to listen to wired audio while charging is a dealbreaker. And not needing a dongle is convenient.

I hope they cover their mouth and recover quickly

I daily a ‘93 Miata. It’ll likely kill me in an accident due to no safety features. Anything rubber has a potential for failure with age. Belts, hoses, seals, gaskets, may leak and require service. It’ll take more maintenance than a car from say, 2005. That being said - I’ve never been stranded. Maintenance is dead simple, this era of basic EFI is dead simple. No stupid electronics, space under the hood to work. It’s totally doable for a daily as long as rust can be kept at bay and you have some mechanical knowledge. Put a new stereo in there and drive it!

Oh I don’t think it should be updated. People can look at the baby picture and make a decision if it looks like you or not.

Github Copilot is a bit different, it’s powered by OpenAI Codex which is trained on all public repos. And yes, it’s quite effective!

When you realize your VPN isn’t on.

I should probably bind that or something.

I’ve been using Wefwef up to this point but switched to Memmy since it has blocking of communities and Wefwef doesn’t yet.

Hard to tell if he has his safety squints engaged though.

I’m out for blood, but in a chill way.

This isn’t unique to Lemmy or haphazard coding. It’s a common technique to get pictures into Github READMEs this way. You’d create a PR, upload an image, copy the link, delete the PR, and then paste the link elsewhere on Github for use.

Eh, it’s relative.

Probably didn’t look much different than a person yawning.

A lot of the time. Sometimes I even do research to back up my argument then I realize it’s not worth it.

Good find, to me it’s this logo, which was used from 2005-2013 across a lot of popular games. Logo

As someone mentioned, the car won’t have a VIN so it won’t be able to registered or insured in most developed countries. What people do is borrow a VIN from an existing car, which isn’t really legal, but could be passable in day to day driving. That’s why there’s R34 GTRs in North America registered as 240SXs or Altimas, or so the stories go.

They had a big push and update a few years back focusing on redoing the UI to make it more friendly to beginners. Although I haven’t personally used it a ton since then.

Red Eclipse 2 was mentioned but it’s a great example. Using the same engine and hasn’t had a release since 2021 is Assault Cube Reloaded. https://github.com/acreloaded/acr

There was a rough week or two there but it’s been good lately. Happy being a part of it though.

You don’t want to see some thick trunks on Tuesdays?

This is for all people, worldwide. North America is very rich, relatively speaking.

I know this is just a meme but school is an excellent way to have a foundational understanding of how things work, and learning to problem solve including googling.

I have a thought, coming from Raspberry Pis that use a microSD card as their main disk. People would report that heavy usage of an SD card would wear it out, particularly writes. Does Steam or the OS do any writing to the disks while playing from them? If so, unless you’re downloading new games, mounting in read-only mode might extend their lives a bit. Again, just a thought and maybe it’s not an issue since it’s primarily reads being done, or maybe it’s crossed your mind already.
