Hello!
I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

I mostly avoid major world news now for the most part. I prefer to read hobby-specific news and local news, such as my municipality.
Forgive me for the pessimism, but I sincerely doubt that they honour any opt-outs. Meta has shown time and time again that they’d rather just pay fines as business expenses instead of abiding by law(s).
This. Numerous industries in the US make use of forced prison labour.
Goddamn, I wish we could act like our own independent country for once instead of just puppeting whatever the US does.
Appeasing shareholders and investors.
When the money stops flowing.
Still about $20 short of what the minimum living wage is for my city. Fantastic.
Not in Utica, no; it’s an Albany expression.
Discord and Tumblr.
Thank you!! I sometimes post things I make either here on Beehaw or lemmy.world, but I don’t post everything I make. The URL in my profile will lead to my full portfolios if you want to check them out :D
No AI involved. It’s a 3D scene made in Blender.
Which is exactly why they want people wearing smartwatches to sleep.
I don’t know if this is hilarious or pathetically sad. AI has become the current “must have” craze in the tech world and it’s baffling watching every company try and find a way to shoehorn some form of it into their products and then try and justify its existence.
Cerence Chat Pro from technology partner Cerence Inc. is the foundation of the new function, which offers a uniquely intelligent, *automotive-grade *ChatGPT integration.
Why the hell would I want this?
Cool. I’ll just piss along the exterior wall of your building then or on the fence at the back of your parking lot.
I have several of the original Philips LED replacement bulbs, which were some of the very first LED bulbs available. Paid about $35CAD each for them in late 2009 and they’re built out of solid metal and weigh a ton. They’re still going strong and put out a lovely light.
Going to quote something I said on another account a while ago:
The end result is a voting population that will vote based on knee-jerk emotional reactions and are very gullible and lead astray by false promises, lies, and misinformation. Basically: They are extremely easy to manipulate.
A lot of Canadians feel Trudeau is a shit, do-nothing politician and PM and that he has to go, and I frankly agree with them. The problem, though, is that they let their hatred of the PM (and his party) blind them and they end up voting for a party which has no functional solutions to everything they hate Trudeau for. The problems that Trudeau has neglected DO need to be taken care of but the CPC doesn’t have a platform or policies to actually deal with them. Voters don’t care though; they just want Trudeau gone. They just want red party gone.
Two or three years from now when PP is prime minister - his ratings are going to tank and people are going to start hating him. The scandals will start stacking up and media pressure on him and his corrupt ministers will continue to grow, and many who voted for him will be crying that they got betrayed. Maybe some day people will learn to stop voting for con artists but I doubt it’ll be in my lifetime."
I am so very tired of ignorant, naive, and irresponsible voters.
