- Comment on An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch 1 day ago:
Or, they could have reached out to indie bands in their genre of choice. I’ve no doubt there are tons of small bands out there who would love having their work used in the Olympics, it’d be one of the rare “do it free/cheap for the exposure” deals that might be actually worth it.
But that’d take a little bit more work than jerking off the theft slop machine, so fuck it, right?
- Comment on This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE. 1 day ago:
Whatever people in power try to stir up about this, it’s literally impossible to legislate and block shapes from being 3D-printed. Any attempts to do so are a fool’s errand, and/or just being used to justify misguided attempts to lock down 3DP technology for other reasons (read DRM/copyright forces in big business.) Blocking parts that might be for a gun from being printed simply cannot be done.

Great they may be, but sneaking into the Gorgs’ garden to retrieve them is such a hassle.

- Comment on Why would anyone do this? 2 weeks ago:
IIRC this was just about voting on the hotness of random pictures, you couldn’t actually contact the person through the site or do any social media stuff. You’d just upload your photo, and be able to check back on how it scored later for an ego boost, bragging rights among your friends, or whatever.
