I tried to buy the model from an artist recently for personal use(friend wanted some Mickey ears of a specific style). Person told me no and quoted me $130 with a 3 week wait time for a physical product that was something I could print in about an hour myself. For a Disney product they were already infringing on themselves.

Went elsewhere and found someone selling the model for $7. Figured that was fair for the effort to transform it into a model file.

Turned out I was wrong - only took me 20 minutes to print.

Some of these artists are ridiculous…

How would you even type a “?” with that keyboard. No, I would not use a keyboard that was missing all numbers, 90% of symbols and threw 3 of the keys haphazardly to the side.

This is a joke at best and mostly just waste. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. It’s junk like this that makes the alternate keyboard community look like a bunch of schizos. “Why would I use something that works when I can remove tons of functionality to be cutesy?”.

Hard pass.

No numbers, important keys shoved out of reach… OP expects you to bind OTHER IMPORTANT KEYS LIKE ESC/TAB/SHIFT TO BE BOUND TO Q in order to function…

Might as well just grab a macropad at this point. You’ll almost never use the keys for one thing anyways and you’ll be doing Ctrl+/Fn+ combos constantly(except you don’t even have those buttons, so what are you making combos out of anyways?).

I wouldn’t even use this for an emulator. WASD is completely borked and the buttons you’d bind them to instead would then be lost as well and those need to be rebound too. A controller is more useful than this ever would be.

Says the person with a Lemmy profile. Do you pay bills online? Do you search things? Use maps?

Congrats, you have a shadow profile out there logging all the data about you.

You didn’t keep shit private if you’re carrying a GPS tracker on you at all times, which you are(your phone). You are VASTLY misunderstanding digital privacy and how statistics works. You don’t have to type a single foreign language word for them to know you speak it. Just go to places and hang around people that it knows speaks it and it’ll make the assumption. Every person you interact with who shares EVERYTHING is, congrats, basically a snitch on you as well.

It’s statistics, like I said.

You have your phone on you, right? And he has his phone on him, right? And your phone’s are constantly near each other, riiiiiight? Do you maybe see where this is going?

Your “Internet profile” is being linked to his “internet profile” because they can see you are constantly together. So they assume friends/relatives/coworker. But they also see that you’re together at times people who are couples are(late at night while asleep, for example). So with basic time and location data, they’ve determined you’re a couple. And that becomes another metric in your profile. Things that he likes, it will assume you like or are at least interested in, and same for him. All you had to do was type in the other language a few times and your profile got “speaks X” added to it. And him, by dating you, now has “knows someone who speaks X regularly” attached to his profile.

It’s really very easy. Now imagine that everything you do is being catalogued like that. Then cross referenced with other people they know more about to flesh out more inferences about yourself(“you like x and y? 98% of people who like X AND Y also like Z, so let’s advertise Z to them”.

It seems like magic but it’s just advanced statistics in action.

That’s a wiring issue. Bulbs burning out shockingly fast means something else is wrong. Had the same issue in a ceiling light until we replaced the wiring.

You are a disgusting person who no one wants to be around. We deal with it by avoiding people like you

Bro, this is just a load of shit. Google removed them by choice, not because of some tech need. Better search engines still use them to great effect.

You just posted a very long rambling justification for injecting ads and other shit into the results instead of giving you what you asked for.

All these people “rediscovering” old tech like we didn’t abandon it for a reason. No, I don’t want to build a PC out of old Commodore 64s that barely works and needs to be coded in assembly when I can literally get a mini PC that’s 100x more powerful for $120.

“Hey bro! Here’s some 20 year old program! We should totally reinvent it today! It’s not like anyone has been working on this exact thing for the last 20 years!”. Wtf is with the younger generations obsession with “retro tech”?!? “Look bro, I can do the same thing we can do now, but slower and worse!”

Also Matrix. If you’re gonna suggest something, maybe make sure it doesn’t already exist.

Seconding this. If they don’t click, they still feel in. They gotta CLICK. For people new to building, you gotta press harder than you probably feel comfortable pressing.

Install steam. Run in big picture mode. Done. That’s a steam machine. I don’t get what you think a dedicated machine is going to do any differently. There is a reason Steam abandoned the idea themselves.

A lot ship with Linux. And having a full PC you can use is a downside? So you’d rather have a limited box? That’s not even valves philosophy, so I don’t know where you’re getting that BS from.

It’s called a Mini PC or a NUC. They already exist. Go buy one and slap Steam on it. Done.

The people who actually want this have already done it.

They already exist. They’re called mini PCs or NUCs. Just buy one of those and you’re already there. Literally. This whole article and thread is garbage. They already exist. They just aren’t branded Steam.

Some people see “to reduce animal cruelty” as judgy because that’s just how nature is. The moral superiority comes from you acting like you’re somehow above everyone and everything else. It’s entirely in your wording and the implications that if you eat meat, you enjoy animal suffering vs seeing it as a natural outcome of nature.

It’s a clip show. Both low rating episodes from the first seasons are clip shows. That’s why. Clip shows are typically unpopular, even tho for The Simpsons, each clip is original and not a reair of a previous one. They’re “filler” episodes.

It shows. They did this same article a decade ago.
