I’m listening to the Bobiverse again because the fifth book came out recently. The universe, pun intended, was really interesting and the entire idea of digital people is fun to think about while doing chores.

I believe it’s on earth, yes.

Huh… That would solve one of my greatest anxieties with self checkout in a busy store.

I think it’s very domitable, some people are into that.

I was shopping for parts for a Halloween costume at the beginning of the month. Christmas music was playing in the store.

“Yes.” “Ah, shit, well I’ll let you get back to it.” “No, I’m awake now. What’s going on?”

Every time. If someone wakes me up they may need to talk and I’m always about that.

Because eventually you’ll break it lose one of the cups and then have 3 incomplete sets that will hopefully provide a full set between them.

Poetry. Pure poetry.

• What color was the ball? Blue
• What gender was the person that pushed the ball? Male
• What did they look like? Skinny, pants, dress shirt
• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else? Blue, smooth, baseball sized
• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of? Around 2ft square, wooden, light color, four square legs

All of this was built in my head with each part of the prompt. Pretty sure I don’t have aphantasia.

Just want to weigh in on Resolve. I was able to get the free version running on Mint, but the free version can’t do H.264. I then bought Resolve Studio, but activating the license did not work so I ended up on Windows for video editing.

I also had to switch back to Windows for Affinity, as I have been using Photoshop for years and I have yet to find another piece of software (excluding Affinity) I can move at speed in.

Once I get the content creation off Windows, I can probably leave it behind for good.

It’s not actually Go-Gurt, that costs too much. He just bought normal yogurt, but doesn’t want to disappoint her.

Just don’t.

Another thing I’m certain she doesn’t actually understand.

Your frustration with the system is valid, but you’re missing the point. The time to argue about the rules of the game is not in the middle of the game. Between rounds the rules should absolutely be examined, changed, and balanced for the better, but once the game has begun you can only play within what has already been established.

Wow, you sobered up quick!

Actually, I think that one at least has some history to it.

The disk drive was one of the first ways to store information between computer sessions as the first computers didn’t have built in storage. You would create a program, run it, and then when you shut the computer off it was gone. Since the disk drive was used to store programs for later, or “save” them, the icon was born from the physical object.

Sharing, conversely, doesn’t really have a real world example to base the icon on. Maybe two hands exchanging things? Perhaps two arrows to illustrate the ability for things to go both ways? Maybe a set of interconnected dots to show the connection between things? Any of them could work, so the iconography is less clear.

The one on top. The skirt makes it confusing, but you can see the foot on the ground is shaped as the right foot.

Warlocks are the pets of other beings doing tricks to earn treats.
