Some guys made a ten-hour film about paint drying to piss off the censors. Replacing the wall with about anybody would probably be a vast improvement…

The silent version of “Last christmas”. Way better than the original.

Saw a similar net here: “FBI Surveillance Van”. Fun fact: this is not in the US.

Laughts are on them.

Nearly anything thrown at me in school. If I hadn’t loved books already, I would have given up on reading after the shit they forced on us.

I do model building with LEGO, and I use the Raspberry Pi Pico (which is different from a Raspberry Pi). For programming, I use the Arduino environment.

The controller has two cores, and, in the version I use it, has a wifi interface.

My models are modular and have a 12V power bus, and I use DC/DC adapters to generate the 5V or 3.3V needed for some applications. I use 12V because some lights and many motors needs them.

The controller has over 20 IO pins, lots of options for i2c and SPI busses, and the PIO system allows for easily driving NeoPixel displays.

The wifi is used to connect the processors to a central Mosquitto broker, so they can communicate, e.g. coordinating light effects or reacting to a button press somewhere.

Real Christmas tree, fresh from a farm about 2km from here.

Water with a hint of lemon or lime.

Somewhere over fourty years ago, i was fed up being bullied by a rich asshole in school again and again and again. So I hit him, just once, decking him and making him lose a number of front teeth.

At least he learned that lesson. He never bothered him again.

Depends on what the company does. Moving feed bags from the left to the right? Might work in that constellation. Design and develop the next big thing? Unlikely.

I did touch windows in my life, but did a lot with OS/2, Solaris and Linux. I currently also use windows because some tools have crappy license management that do not work in VMs.

Did a few jobs while still in school, since then I was basically handed over to new jobs by reference. Never had to write a CV or ask for a job, always “when you are done here, I’ve found you someone who needs your skills”.

Yep, they did indeed sand. But I never expected this antique fuc-er to stop on a stamp like that. I’m glad it was still slow at that point, or it would have been a big problem.

In their eyes, this is theft. If you want to own it, buy a CD.

Why should any comic artist make his or her art more copyable and abusable?

I have been sitting in a tram that emergency breake’d. It was all seriously fast: Ring of the warning bell (like an overgrown alarm clock) towards the driver of the car, and next thing was that I was leaning over an old lady sitting in the opposite side. They accellerated like a snail on dope, but breaking was applying ACME Insta Stop.

Yep. The “Uncanny Valley” is deep, and it is not limited to robots and mannequins.

I see a difference between e.g. restorative cosmetic surgery, e.g. after an accident on one hand, and creating cow tits and Mar-a-Lago lips on the other.

Thats on top of the large pile of shit.

Publicly accessible does not mean it is free of copyright. Yes, copyright law in it’s current form sucks and is in dire need to get reformed, preferably close to the original duration (14+14 years). But as the law currently stands, those LLM parrots are based on illegally acquired data.
