But 2.7.2 exists and isn't listed.

@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

According to this archival screen recording, it is, in fact, real.

The 2.7.x series is comprised entirely of development versions. In GIMP, odd feature versions are developmental and even feature versions are stable

@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The header literally says "Development Version Splash History", and as I've said, the entire 2.7 series is made of development versions.

It's interesting how individualism and socialism interact with each other, and how a degree of the latter can promote the former.

Seems like renting with extra risk and steps

Aatube OP ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The subscription's 10 items per month, not per year, and return the next month. Babies outgrow really quickly when they're young.

According to Or Collective’s website, I have saved £640 over the past two months. Not that I would have ever spent that much - the clothes I borrow from brands such as Bobo Choses and Tinycottons are much pricier than I’d ever be able to justify, which is part of the service’s appeal. My daughter is far better dressed than I am as a result. That said, you can buy them at a reduced price if you become particularly attached.

Aatube OP ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I don't think all friends and family own all these stuff either. And this really does save money. The machine here is at most consumerism, incentivizing us to pay extra and own everything we'll use for like at most a month, which I think is too far of a stretch.

Even better would be that Arcimoto MUV thing. Sadly it appears they went bankrupt

Aatube OP , (edited )
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

They brought it to market for six glorious years but couldn't achieve mass-production and spent way too much on a ton of SKUs most people don't want before they basically went bankrupt.

Aatube OP ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

And how is that a bad thing?

Aatube OP ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

What could go wrong with depending on such a service? The things up for rental here are only things that have to be frequently changed or used just once or twice. I don't expect to subscribe to more permanent things as part of the expansion of tool rentals. Yes, some like Adobe have already adopted subscription for permanenty things, but that's different from this topic.

There is a roof. People aren't getting exposed. There are also optional door coverings I've seen.
The rest of your argument sounds like it works against any new vehicle purchase, not to mention the added comfort this has over many bikes.
At around $19000, the FUV is cheaper than any of these silly, roofless and less capacious Caterhams you've linked. Not to mention gas prices.

I feel like digital software subscriptions have stigmatized subscriptions in general. Subscriptions are great for things that require constant investment to be meaningful. One subscribes to news and receive constant reporting on the latest news; one subscribes to a tool library and get access to nearly every tool one can need. Plus a large part of the article is about non-profit libraries anyway.

Aatube OP ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The problem is that you're renting access to something you're not actually consuming.

But you are effectively consuming them. Just like renting books and movies, you nearly always don't need it again after you return it.

Nice talking point just to cover your bum from shilling.

Ah yes, buying everything you don't need too long isn't consumerism but renting and reusing is

@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Hopefully you have an actually competent and accurately-priced makerspace near.

Note that the featured rate in the article is "Another rented a planer at £11 a day to fix two doors in her flat after being quoted £245 for a handyman to come in and do the three hour job".

Look, none of this involves AI taking action on posts or answering them. It's just yet another ChatGPT clone, yet another Copilot clone, and search summaries.

No it doesn't. It means "pearl milk tea" or "bubble tea".

It’s worth noting that this money funneling operation doesn’t look to be illegal, as research intended for publication doesn’t fall under the purview of the ban. Huawei operates similar competitions in other parts of the world, though openly. People who participated in the US-based research competition didn’t even know that Huawei was involved, believing the money to come from Optica. The competition awards $1 million per year and Optica didn’t give any indication that Huawei was supplying the cash.

too much vocabulary

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

It's correct, although I'm surprised that there isn't even a FOSS implementation of the unencrypted part.

Hopefully you made this in GIMP

I couldn't do this in three seconds even with imgflip. I'd say a minute using normal tools, and probably 20 seconds with imgflip.

As I stare into the void
Of a world that cannot hold

@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

There's this famous quote from Nietzsche:

When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.

Has nothing to do with voids, though

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Yeah, and as I've posted below Javert stares into the void in Les Mis. The only combination that isn't really poetic is screaming into the abyss; everything else exists, ergo it's not a mixup.

China has actually been capitalist since Deng. Not sure about social mobility, but intellectual property and individualism are respected, though they're still pretty authoritarian, along with Xi's atrocities.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I'm intrigued, how so?

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Funny how both of these stole from Canada. I found no information whatsoever on whether Sinovac stole from anyone.

I did find information on Nortel and how Huawei took their secrets from Chinese hackers. But 1. Nortel filed bankruptcy the same year LTE was introduced, and the hacks were a few years before. I seriously doubt that their technology was this advanced to be retrofit for 5G that easily without much innovation. 2. These were still Chinese hackers. This industry also requires innovation.

I don't see how "war carriage" or "horse carriage" is the Sanskrit word for chariot.
