Woo! ALWAYS a good day to see InkScape getting some updates! I suck at it but I sure do appreciate it. :D

You can just hear it as kitty wedges into that pipe.

(PHOOMPF) ... "MEooow?" :|

Hey I didn't know that! Cool! :)

I agree, because I really like their color scheme and logo. =\

(Infuriating TikTok voice:) "These red states are putting atmospheric additives in their coal plants to turn the sky red! Wow!"

That's pretty neat. I do hope they do some solid UI/UX research on it, and figure out their own way of smoothing things out without simply "making it like Photoshop" like the grouchy masses are clamoring for. :p

Blender had some odd ideas at first, but I really appreciate their unique approach that, IMHO, makes an Autodesk product feel heavy and kludgy by comparison.

Fair. Can also cite all the Islamic iconography and sound removed from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

As for Star Wars, Han absolutely shot first. (High five)

Weren't a lot of those wacky edits by Lucas' own whims though? I'd say there's a distinction between a creator editing his own work and say, Disney going "We lost the rights to John Williams, so we removed the score from the entire franchise." Lol

Sheesh!

Ace Combat games are also on a countdown as soon as they release, because the likenesses of the planes from the defense companies expire, so they get de-listed.

You couldn't do that with physical media. =\

So weird I'm used to hearing about FBI using us for images. 🤔 Lol

They're editing entertainment history to begin with. Deletion is bad enough, but possibly even more nefarious is the blatant, unapologetically sneaky editing of existing media mentioned in this thread. Jussst a little bit at a time.

Unlike many videogames, TV shows, music, movies, don't get "version / revision numbers." Can you trust your archives to be original?

Adjust for today's-sensibilities here, remove a now-naughty-word there..."oh, we don't wanna pay for that song that released in 5 years before this 36 year old television program...better it never existed!"

Their goal seems to be relegating the Internet to simply being a flow of "What's trending and making money NOW" and nothing else. Every ~~byte~~ electron has a dollar value.

They want generations growing up in a world where the corporate narrative is all that ever was and will be.

Today it's talk shows and cartoons.

Tomorrow it's biographies and documentaries. Family histories? Newspapers?

We need to stop this NOW.

Media conglomerates can't even be relied on to be stewards of their own legacy. They're coming for ours.

So, who's up for another reread/watch of Farenheit 451 or Equalibrium?

"Alright kids settle down...you wanted to know about the 90's right?"

  • A 24k screen pops to life, accesses the file server, a super fuzzy image comes to life. A funky beat fills the room. -

"Now this is the story all about how,

My life got flipped-turned upside down,

And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there,

I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air."

Laptops though, for real...

I got an old gaming laptop with an Nvidia 960M in it, and it happened to have an M.2 slot.

I stuck a 1TB from Western Digital in there, AND it had a 1TB HDD already...man, I dunno what to do with this much space on a laptop 😂.

Made an old machine feel like brand new, seriously.

(Especially since I wiped Windows and it's only running EndeavourOS now.)
