    Every once in a while, I see something that reminds me of what the internet used to be

      Almost like the old internet is still in there somewhere. Just gotta sort through all the shit first.

        It’s like finding the needle in the haystack.

        Now you need to find the next needle in the even bigger haystack over there. And so on. Fuck, I hate what the internet has become.

    For a while there was a VR app for Google Earth that allowed you to visit museums virtually. This is a wonderful use of modern technology.

    Beautiful works!

    If viewed on an iPhone or iPad, you can take it into AR mode and drop the piece on a table in front of you, then walk around it. Don’t know if that works on Android.

      Precisely the same way! Works amazingly well.
