Because it's a clear day and the sun is high, I get orthographic projections for free, without even needing a GPU. Nvidia can eat shit

Came across this massive Paulownia thriving in its rapidly vanishing natural habitat (empty lots near the Gowanus).
Very impressed that less than 48 hours after filling out a pledgebox survey for a kickstarter i supported they invited me to back a next generation penis pump. Bold move, pledgebox

@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange floor loss is a function of price. If a 1206 resistor that is less than a tenth of the penny hits the floor is considered to have evaporated into hawking radiation. if a $1 0805 capacitor hits the floor it is converted into ten minutes of crawling with a flashlight

shamanic name, Hara Ra."

Noticing that Krita remains free, but also sells packaged versions on various app stores for about $10 that goes towards supporting development. Dare I say I... like this model? It makes it easy to support dev, and the program remains free for those who can't/won't support it.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social just as ntalk succeeded talk, and then ytalk succeeded ntalk, I believe we will soon see rsync replaced by nsync and eventually ysynk

@poppyhaze@girlcock.club look, when I was growing up we all got stumpfoot, greackles, and Edgar's Pallor, and we turned out ok. In fact I remember when a kid got the 'pallor, all the parents in the neighborhood would send their kids over to catch it too, since you were more likely to survive if you got it young
