    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Spotted on the interwebs today: "NFTs are basically what would happen if TinyURL was a Captain Planet villain."

    If the draft was reinstated, and they called your number...

    I guess it all depends on the war in question, and also who's running it. I have said before that if a real war ever broke out between fascists and anti-fascists here within the States, I would be rushing to enlist on the good guys' side. Lord knows I haven't done anything else worthwhile with...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    This argument comes up every time Congress cooks up a terrible bill, but honestly this is pretty common, has been going on longer than most of us have been alive, and both sides do it. Remember the COVFEFE Act? The idea that the time and effort taken to give a bill a clever name is a waste is a...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    And the only reason people buy that excuse is that everyone knows Florida's schools are currently garbage at teaching those things, because he and his predecessors have spent the past half century or more defunding them.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    I mean... yeah. The cops actually did their damn jobs because they didn't have the head of state explicitly telling them not to.

    P&R Funnies!

    Something something natural selection. Saying every dumb and/or awful thing that's on their mind has ceased to have any consequences, thus they've stopped learning not to do it.

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    How much you wanna bet they're mostly dying in solid-red areas and it's not actually going to affect the elections at all.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I wouldn't give her that much credit. Show me even one moderate who's had enough spine to stay in the race after getting primaried. Most of them caved after just seeing that extremist challengers existed.

    P&R Funnies!

    That second one isn't funny for the reasons they think it is. Especially since I'm pretty sure McDonald's was one of the companies that hopped on the crypto bandwagon themselves.

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    Oh, neat. I remember when OpenCanvas was a thing and people used to post sketchdumps from sessions they did together, but it was never a very good drawing program and also required some kind of virtual-LAN app to actually use online. Nice to know there's still stuff out there people can have...

    I have acquired a fleet of obsolete iPads. What do?

    Update: Dock cable has been acquired, 3rd gen powers up and charges... and unlike the others (except the one that was factory-reset) it's registered to a person instead of "managed by the network". Maybe iOS didn't add that feature until later. At any rate, I'm tempted to try to put some kind of...

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    One thing to keep in mind about GIMP, if you dare to even try it (it has some good "photomanipulation" features like filters that you'd be missing out on if you don't want to mess with Photoshop), is that you have to manually turn on tablet support in the options somewhere. Because it's only...

    Sadly, as usual I'm sure actual rich people will still find a way to avoid paying a cent.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Doesn't Canada have actual laws against hate speech? Shouldn't every single person who showed up with a Nazi flag be locked up right now?

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    Update: I was reminded that XP-Pen is also a brand that exists and some artists I know use those.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Hell, they should really look into whether it'd be feasible to shut them down altogether, considering they have repeatedly and intentionally violated the "fire in a crowded theater" rule at this point with their COVID disinformation.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    We should definitely classify whatever makes people capable of listening to that and believing they heard something intelligible as a mental disorder, at minimum. As for the one who said it, I'm pretty sure what she has already has been.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    It's not what you call people, it's whether they deserve it or not. Killing a random person on the street is being a murderer. Going to Germany in the 1940s and mowing down Nazis by the thousands is being a hero.

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    I guess it depends on which of the two definitions of "tablet" you're talking about here. I haven't paid much attention to what's going on in the standalone tablet space because I already have a 2016 iPad for the basic things it was designed to do and a real computer for everything else. I know...
