The powers-that-be don't give a shit about your meaningless protests. March as much as you want. Hold as many signs as you want. That only works when the people making the decisions actually care about what you think of them and actually worry about whether or not you will vote for them in the next election.

Neither of those things is true. They work for the billionaire class and they have no intention of having fair elections ever again. So they can safely say "fuck your protests".

For all of it's bullshit, there is one thing you can say about the J6 rioters; no one ignored them.

It's well past time to learn that lesson. The fact that you all aren't firebombing government buildings by this point is a disgrace from a population of so-called "don't tread on me" proud Americans.

Trump: "Canada is harbouring terrorists..."

She's a traitorous bitch, sure. But let's be honest; in the current state of the world, getting a Trump endoresment for Poppinfresh is like announcing he's been found out to be murdering orphans.

People knowing that Trump is on his side is the last thing that PP needs. Smith asking the Trump administration to help out because Poppinfresh's views align with his is such a terrible fucking strategy it's hilarious.

She's under the deluded bubble that every conservative is just as stupid as Alberta/Saskatchewan Conservatives. They're not. Never have been. There's a massive difference between "sell out to oil" conservatives from the prairies and "sell out to big business in general" conservatives from Ontario. Ontario conservatives will take an endorsement from Trump and tell Poppinfresh to get fucked because they hate Trump as much as any other party.

There is one small group of uneducated, inbred, coal-rolling conservatives who think that a Trump style government would be a good thing. And they are far less popular that Smith realizes from her cow-shit castle in Alberta.

Of course he would. Funding Trade Schools at the expense of universities gives him a population of skilled manual labourers who have never learned critical thinking, history, or social policy.

A Trade School teaching one thing and one thing well, priding itself on "cutting out" all the rest of what they think of as unnecessary nonsense. And you will never change my mind that THAT is a major contributing factor to the dumbing down of the current electorate. The Greeks considered the Liberal Arts necessary for the public to be able to effectively contribute to the political discourse.

But that doesn't suit conservative purposes.

It's not "surprise polling" when it's been literally happening everywhere for the last two or three years...

Trump is exactly stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds him.

Just another one to immediately string up when the war starts.

That's what my ex-wife said too....

You mean that hussy is cheating on me????

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That just gave me an interesting thought. I wonder what the Venn diagram looks of Trump/Poppinfresh supporters and people who don't use adblockers...

"Bartell went on to say, "Hey...It's cheaper than a divorce. m'iright or m'iright", gave this reporter a fist-bump. Smacked the behind of a passing blonde and backed away while giving finger-guns.

We've reached out for comment. But so far, his motivation remains unclear."

Did Putin order it while winking?

 

One of the main things that I have been missing in Lemmy since moving over from the other site has been the myriad communities for the various bits of FOSS software I use on a regular basis.

Any any given day, I'll use Kdenlive, LibreOffice, Blender, Gimp and Scribus in the course of getting work done both personally and professionally, and I kept waiting for the day when I wouldn't have to go back to the other site to keep up to date with them.

While some (Blender) eventually got communities in the fediverse of their own, few are very active. So I felt that I should at least try to create my own in the hopes that it draws some activity.

So if you're joining because of a shared love of FOSS creative software, welcome. I'm hoping to post news and other articles from around the web, as well as being a place for questions and advice from user to user.

Maybe it'll be just as dead as all the others. But I hope not.

 

The tl;dr bot that pops up on every link to an article on Lemmy is depriving those websites of clicks, which deprives them of ad revenue.

The only thing that will accomplish is forcing those websites to do the very thing that we rail about; replacing their writers with crappy A.I because they can't afford to pay for actual content.

We rail against the enshitification of the internet, but when there's a legitimate way to fight back by giving these websites a page view/read/click etc... so that they can attract advertisers, we would rather have a bot summarize it for us, giving them nothing.

 

I feel like I've come a long way, but still feel like I have a long way to go before I feel truly good.

 

Stumbling a bit on how to get some animations to work correctly, (gauges and gear doors where the local axis doesn't line up with the global axis). But making some good progress on getting the details modelled in.

 

As the title says...

When is a level of detail considered "obsessive"? Asking for a friend.

Airspeed, Vertical speed, manifold pressure, RPM and fuel flow are all working as expected. Night lighting on the GPS and audio panel is working fabulously. There is night lighting on the center stack, but it's too subtle and will need some adjustments.

Manipulators are going to take a bit longer because I built a lot before really understanding how manipulators worked, so I have to go back and correct some things.

 
 

Congrats to him on getting his cup. Was always my favorite Senator. I've always believed that rather than building around a single superstar, teams should build around a trio of hardworking regular stars.

Trading EK...I was fine with it. But the team should have been built at that point around Captain Stone, Chabot and a promising young goalie.

 

Been taking advantage of a longer-than-expected stretch of under-employment to get some work done on a pet project.
