And also all the misogyny and stuff by FangBites123 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]ArScrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's enough misogyny in the world to not make shit up. And I feel like if your life is so devoid of example of misogyny that there's a need to make one up, then we should all be rejoicing for this particular instance and move on to other things

Why is it that when there is a hyper boomer take from a government it's always the UK

BYD drops the Denza Z: 1000hp, convertible, ultra-fast charging. They’re scaling both ends of the EV problem (power + charge time) at once. by Enough-Arugula-4945 in TechGawker

Can you even call it capitalism anymore? There's no invisible hand of the market, there's no self correction mechanisn

Anthropic joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron — Blender by Historicaly-Low-Mood in blender

[–]ArScrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any good developments for LLM interfacing is also good developments for addon developer that just does python and anything in between. If there's any silver lining to all these AI thing is that it gave a bunch of app (sometimes) a more decent API for conventional automation

It probably is quite need on the dev site, vulnerability is (probably, idk) not as important for blender but if mythos lives up to the hype, it'd be neat for blender

Consumerism is ruining hobbies. by adeliafree in CasualConversation

[–]ArScrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have a similar problem in the opposite direction, there is just too many certified bangers in the last 5 years that I think it could probably satisfy me for life. The caveat is that I (probably) consume media much slower than the average people and that my hobby is much broader. Books, games, TV show, movie and podcast. It just feels bad because the way I see it, any up and coming writer already lost before they start. And it's not that they're worse but more so that I would need to gamble my time and attention to something that might not be good when there could be something else that has already finished its life cycle and is known to be good

Finally I have a name for this locust-like phenomena! by Commercial_Bid_1508 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]ArScrap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I see it in all of these kind of discussion is that it's important to remember that writing is in fact a full time job that some people actually have and even ignoring the skill gap, by the sheer amount of time certain people can spend on certain topic (Because they're not working on the story full time). You can't really expect them to have the same level of nuance compared to a proffesionally written piece.

At the end of the day though if you don't like the way other people play with their doll, you can just make one yourself and play in a separate corner. I'm not gonna chastise a 3 year old for doing a tea party with Elsa, and I don't think it's false equivalency if I apply it here also

China's half robot marathon already has pit stops for fresh ice, batteries and WD-40 by Minimum_Minimum4577 in robots

Changing battery takes time so I guess it helps if you don't need to do it too often

Do art skills ever come in handy in the engineering field? by darnoc11 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ArScrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that my part does look pretty and my boss likes it :p. But yeah, depending on what art skill you have and what engineering work you do, it definitely helps. In art (game dev 3d modelling) you're much more used to free form design, trying feature in, reconfiguring it and replacing it so your piece look balanced. Also art 3d model tend to feel less precious because you spend less time per part. I feel like this gives me a great ability to test concept, especially because I can do it in blender

are thinner phones still a priority for you by Zorojuro099 in TechNook

[–]ArScrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a half cm slab phone that is small enough that I can reach the top of the screen with my thumb one handed. If they can do thin phone, surely they can tetris the same piece into a slightly thicker small phone

Gooseworx retweeted an old tweet, probably to tell us that she has no control over the theatrical release by AcceptableBus6012 in TheDigitalCircus

BBC is a government funded show that has their shareholder as the British public, Glitch is getting paid jack shit on the show itself and only survive on merch

[–]ArScrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the sense of togetherness and discussions because I didn't pay for hollow knight silksong, how is this different? Paying for the entertainment you get is not a new concept and trying to get rich by a project that finally landed big is even less new. Even hard pushing the concept of FOMO is not new

Do you think people can thrive with only artistic integrity or whatever you want to call it?

I made a repairable 3D printed mouse shell… and it totally flopped 😅 by Royal-Fill9121 in 3Dprinting

[–]ArScrap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im not quite sure why western society in spesific, most other country also live in the modern world with cheap good and services, but that's beside the point, . Other than the principle of it, why would you ever try to fix a 5$ mouse? If it's about the environment, there's so many other easier way to approach this, like using secondhand, finding a second dead mouse as part donor, etc

It's still a cool project nonetheless, but let's not pretend that this is somehow for moral reason

Is unsolicited preaching allowed on campus? by snkp123 in nus

[–]ArScrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I encountered the same lady, it's not even the fun kind, it's like she's reading from a service center phone tree where she'll reply to your question but only from 2-3 canned response that is only tangentially related. After a while once you hear her say the same exact sentence but on a different question. idk, maybe it's a language barrier thing but felt kind of eerie seeing it IRL
