I admit, I saw a Cybertruck when I was about to get onto the NJ Turnpike.

It really looks ugly. :neocat_facepalm:

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 It looks brutal, in the worse possible way. Like a suppressive police state in a shitty sci fi movie.

As a side note, read that the DeLorean was meant to be painted, but they chose not to. Something that they sent it from the factory like they are known to look and were meant to be painted as part of the sale or something similar. Could be malarkey who knows.

I just know I’d rather own a DeLorean, and I actually don’t want one (they aren’t good).

My sister “diagnosed” me a while ago saying I had PTSD from our childhood and I just ignored it like most of the things she said.

My dad and I got in a fight today and I immediately broke down because it reminded me of all the times he used to beat me as a child. I got a ton of flashbacks running through my head and it makes me want to vomit.

He’s never apologized for the things he did when I was younger, and I don’t know if I would accept it, but I know he’s a better person now. Deep down though, it’s like my body just wants me to run. Now I’m thinking my sister might actually be right.

@fujiwara I’m so so sorry you had to live through that. I can’t even imagine that myself.

From reading what your sister randomly does and says I’d say you shouldn’t much care what she says.

But, if you can, I highly recommend seeing a professional. They can set you up with tools to help you, and give you a neutral but competent third party.

Take care!

Got to pack, need to head out on Sunday for that "vacation" or whatever it is.

@chikorita157 You sound excited :)

Oof, the SSD speeds are slower on the PowerCenter compared to my G4 MDD or even the G3 B&W. Might be because I'm running a Rage 128 on the same PCI Bus or maybe it's because of the slower processor and bus speeds.

Faster than any SCSI emulator though.

@chikorita157 Were you able to test them vs a period correct spinning disk?

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 Also the writes are higher than the reads. This setup would have been bonkers back in the day :)

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 I like how SSDs are quiet, that makes it worth it for me :)

If the accelerator card has memory on it, it probably can ran the memory at a higher speed which equals speed etc. No idea if that’s the case :)

Yep, it seems the studio that got caught of having scenes made from animators in North Korea was actually a thing done by a subcontractor. I wonder, how did this happen :bunhdthink:

@chikorita157 If there’s one universal thing is business it’s that driven sociopaths want all the money and any mean is justified for that end.

If I’ve understood it the connection to North Korea, for every single country in that region, is quite strange. China would much rather NK go away and nobody quite wants anything to do with them. I’d be very surprised if the majority of SK would not want to avoid a unification at almost any cost.

So I assume any work being done in NK is highly regulated. And I bet this wasn’t.

I feel sorry for most people in the entertainment industry. They are so passionate and want to entertain the rest of us. But so many of them work in such shitty conditions:(

Anyone have any recommendations for iOS Mastodon apps?

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 @fujiwara I’m on Ivory as well. It’s not bad.

That said I’m not shopping around for apps after I’ve ended up with one. So there might be something cool I’m unaware of:)

@anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 Trigger has made some good stuff. I could do with a second season of BNA for sure.

Yesterday was crazy, there was a tornado warning that scared me, but apparenty there were reports of tornados, but nothing too serious besides some tree falling down. Thankfully, nothing happened where I live.

Yes, it’s a sign that people should take climate change seriously.

@chikorita157 Natural disasters in general are terrifying in so many ways. Especially since I didn’t grow up with any.

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 That is just so genuinely scary, I can’t even begin to understand. Take care!

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 I hear you. I’m in the middle away from coasts, but it’s super flat and we’re pretty close to a little river (aka the Mississippi…) so it’s not all roses.

Climate change and the destruction of the environment just makes me so damn sad:( It’s very scary that it’s visibly happened in my lifetime.

Darn, it looks like the reduced ROM Radeon 7000 I flashed in 2015 doesn't work on an old world Mac. Time to find a Sun version of the Radeon 7000 to flash the full ROM, as it has a big ROM chip since it also support open firmware like the Power Mac..

@chikorita157 You are getting worse than a retro YouTuber :)

I'm happy that Cara appears to be growing well, but their recent $13,500/mth for database bills just proves that they might be waaay over their heads.

The site is image heavy, and it looks like they're using... Cloudflare CDN, which is fine, but I worry that they'll hit the 'professional limits' and be forced to pay 'enterprise' rates, maybe that's why they got such a huge bill.

@anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 Even decentralized media grows quickly (video even worse).

Agreed, the buy/sell commission (etc?) part is the only one making sense. If they had launched that part and used pixelfed for the rest (including connecting to fedi and thus the rest of everything) I think they could be profitable.

AI scanning I think will become awfully difficult in the end.

I like the model of “little” extra services where a profit model makes sense while linking that to a distributed non-profit one.
