semi-related: would it count as piracy, if you reconstruct the 3d model from the 2d promo-images?

if they would stop calling it vandalism, it would take away all the fun

idk, maybe like a server for “-key”-derivates with a community for each individual derivate?

Some of these derivates will be hugh, but reddit-like sites can already deal with communities of vastly different sizes, so whatever i guess.

didn’t they switch to epub last year?

so… netflix with extra storage?

If you can’t afford to tip after getting a new car, you should probably get an older car.

fun fact: most people DO tip for new cars. Only the tip is factored in into the initial price, which already includes 50-100% markup, which gives the dealer room to abate.

multiple processes?!

reliably maintaining services

it’s funny that you use that as a selling point.

In my experience almost no outage happens because hardware failures. And most outages happen because bad configurations and/or expired certs, which in turn are a symptom of too much complexity.

Anyway, well worth reading his complete works. Good shit. Grab a copy off me.

There is a torrent for the audiobooks, narrated by Wayne June (the narrator from Darkest Dungeon).

Wayne Junes reading Lovecraft is a match made in heaven. I strongly recommend giving it a try

thanks. I forgot about that. But I’d like to add, that this models kind of feels like “donations with extra steps” to me. i.e. you can get it for free, but you choose to pay the developer even though you have to.

evolution could happen in jumps. How often that happens is debatable.

because of all the socialist propaganda in it?

there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

• you buy the support (redhead)
• you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
• you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
• there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
• there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

and my personal favorit:

• you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you

full-spectrum lighting

this doesn’t sound true.

iirc full spectrum means “every wavelength” (like sunlight) and not just “3 wavelengths that add up to white”.

You vote with your wallets. Each time you buy a phone without SD cart, you are submitting a ballot.

Seriously. phones are 99% identical anyways. It’s not so hard to filter for the 2-3 criteria you actually care about.

is this true?

oh nice. If this trend continues, they will be by 4 million tommorrow and 20 million next week and by summer every human on earth will have an account.

tiny bit of a germaphobe

iirc salt is a has antimicrobial properties. So if anything, then licking that salt, will reduce the germs in your mouth. So a true germaphobe would be all over that lamp

are you sure you don’t want to share an indirect kiss with all her past tinder dates?
