The great thing is, if everyone’s on the list, no one is!

There are well made OSS UIs and there are kludgey, unplanned OSS UIs. Blender is in the latter along with GIMP.

Yeah, it’s a pretty bad water effect used with this really bad shark model. Not sure why this image is so popular.

In the US, Atari tried to sue someone who made an Asteroids clone back in 1981 and lost because Meteors, the clone had made some improvements on the idea of Asteroids (color, among other things). This cemented US legal precedent that you can’t sue people for “ripping off” games so long as they make some meaningful change to it and aren’t just making a direct knock-off.

This current case is in Japan, however, where the legal landscape is very different and companies need to be legally aggressive to maintain any rights to their IP from what I understand. I have no idea how that’s going to go down.

I’m voting for this guy in November.

At 10kV, a random stick would be all it takes to start an arc. He knows what he’s doing.

They’re no problem when properly thrown out, but a huge problem when people litter with them as happens far too much. I hate to see us all punished because a significant portion of people can’t stop littering, but I can’t see us stopping them…

The lowest tip value should be higher to reflect current tip pressuring tactics.

A buddy has been testing whether his LLMs he puts together are properly jailbroken by asking them to explain how to build the silliest bomb possible. I find that terribly amusing. Unfortunately they don’t usually come up with anything particularly silly.
