Dozens of us!!

…but this is actually good news. I’m glad to hear it.

It had to be something. High speed rail has been “planned” in California for like 30 years. Some companies have taken monies to build it. It still doesn’t exist.

Being able to see your actual performance versus your framegen performance is really quite cool.

Here’s something a lot of folks supporting the tariffs as some bass-ackwards way of returning manufacturing to the US don’t understand: in business, uncertainty is even worse than higher costs. Even if you end up paying a little more, it’s worth it if that payment gets you stability.

Trump’s instability in policy easily outweighs any benefits – and that’s assuming there were ever any benefits at all.

Now I’m definitely sticking with LaTeX. Thanks.

business part of it

This is the part I don’t want.

It is, perhaps, the only thing he touches that is made in the USA.

I bet Tim Apple is really happy about his large donation to the Trump inauguration.

Then again, if you’re that rich, maybe having some intelligence and foresight should be an expectation. If you don’t have those things, maybe you shouldn’t be rich.

That said, for a 25% tariff, it isn’t even close. Still far cheaper for Apple to manufacture outside of the US and pass that additional cost to the US consumer.

Ah, this must be the “meritocracy” I keep hearing about. For some reason I thought you had to be a member of the Trump family or a Fox News host to take part.

Can you point out specific examples?

Is it just me, or does that sound like a monopoly?

Do any creatives attempt to create assets for another platform?

I’m really not blaming creatives on this one. Obviously they need to make money. But this seems like a clear case of advantage being taken against one skillset by virtue of monopoly.

I’d say it seems like the key issue affecting creatives, if AI didn’t exist.

As an outsider: how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?

This is what always blows my mind. All these states with leadership bitching about mooching off the federal government are exactly the states which mooch off of the federal government, because their states produce literally nothing.

Is it the case that most creatives cancel their subs when they get that job? Does the job have a site license (assuming Adobe even allows site licenses)?

It won’t stop until creatives stop paying.

There are alternative tools available, but the number of people I have seen not want to learn a new UI is high. Adobe knows this, so they continue to raise prices.

Should have just used AI, at least then people could debate whether or not it was plagiarism

Starfield would be fine if there was a way to get from place to place without constant reloads. This is a limitation of the (ancient) engine the game is on, as I understand it.

The thing is, we already have games like No Man’s Sky which do this very well. Starfield may have been better received if it came out 15 years ago, but against modern space games, it just sucks.

That’s ignoring anything else wrong with the game, of course, and there is plenty. But I could get over a lot if it didn’t feel like I was playing a menu instead of flying a spaceship at every change of scenery.

He’s obviously working for Big 586.

His left eye infuriates me whenever his right eye doesn’t

At least we know there will never be a shortage of cherry pickers in the US.

No 4k TV either. I don’t really see the point.
