I'm gonna get me one of them $300 haircuts. This one's lost its pizzazz.
Hey jerkface! I keep meaning to dive further into Blender sculpting. I like tinkering with Python too & sounds like the two pair well.
Hey that's a fair point. Funny how often good ideas are kneecapped by crap executions.
Yeah, I'd love at least one USB A type cause most of the peripherals I own use that.
legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed
The "legit" reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.
Regardless of the marketing spin they're putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS's LLM. They'll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the "release of information" clause into their T&Cs.
Recall isn't for users. It's for Microsoft.

Fuck firewire. Glad it's dead. USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.
It's genuinely just people feeling the need to "pick a side", and it's unhelpful. Just makes the fans look like clowns.
Bluesky's got the same vibe as early Twitter (for now). That's awesome. Mastodon / "the fediverse" can take some time to streamline onboarding so when Bluesky gets sold to Mussolini's ghost Mastodon will be ready to take the reins.
I like a good epic as much as the next person, but this is pushing 3 hours itself. Assuming Part 2 is similar, I definitely don't have the attention span to hold me through a 5 1/2 hour, 2-part musical. Yikes.
I'm trying to think of any musical that would be tolerable at 2x the original runtime.
But maybe Michelangelo's biggest regret was having never made a good sandwich. You might have one up on him.
You have to remember - this was his job. This wasn't a little hobby he worked on on-and-off in the background. He wasn't putting 8-10 hours in down at the accountancy before popping into the chapel for a little while. From a very young age he was supported both financially & emotionally by his community to sculpt, paint, and whatever else.

Next week he's digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.
The punchline -
However, you must be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get this device, as it costs $78,999. It comes with all the drives included, though, which cost more than $7,340 apiece, so you’re saving money on that.
S05E11 - Three Hundred Big Boys!
Wait til the tattoos on Amy's ass hear about this!
... do I sound like that? I always thought my voice had more of a 'Clark Gable' quality...
Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?
I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.
Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -
- when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
- How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
- do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up
Newbie looking for tidbits
Hi all, a friend convinced me to give FFXIV a try, and I've just made myself a Conjurer character. I'm barely 5-10 minutes in and damn this game's pretty. Also pleasantly surprised by how solid the controller support is so far.
Curious if there are any pitfalls I should avoid, or if any of you seasoned players have advice for someone who's just starting out.
- Currently on the free trial. Does the subscription ever go on sale? I don't doubt its value, but ~$150 USD / year is steep for any game (imo).
- Are the classes/races decently balanced? I've played other MMOs where the game's just not viable with certain classes.
- I saw a menu option for macros, and I'd assume that's keyboard-only? Are there any other players using just a controller, or does that become a hinderance at some point?
What's your auto-complete setup?
Recent versions of Vim include a built-in auto-complete feature, and of course there are a half-billion other auto-complete plugins available through GitHub.
What's your setup? Plugins, or vanilla? Suggested tweaks?
Manifesto (2015), dir. Julian Rosefeldt
"Manifesto" has no plot, and the only thing tying the ~dozen scenes together is Cate Blanchett. Her monologues range from common hippie platitudes to batshit insanery, and she moves deftly between the dozen starkly different characters. There's some beautiful cinematography, but the show is stolen by Blanchett's incredible performances.
Highly recommended for folks that like "artsy" movies with no plot, or anyone who needs 90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), dir. Tone Hooper
~45 minutes in. This brief little moment with Leatherface might be my favorite scene in the movie. The way he lumbers to the window, glances anxiously outside, and puts his head in his hands... without a word we see a glimpse of his humanity. Is Leatherface a psychotic murderer, taking joy in killing these teens? Or is he the homemaker, protecting his family's property from these strangers who barged in? What's actually going on in his head?
Love this flick.
