I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

I’m not sure exactly what model but it’s a 4k 75in hisense running Android from like 5 years ago

Personally I just setup a PC as a NAS‡ and installed VLC on my TV so that I can just browse the NAS and play the files directly

Is it efficient? No.

Is it the best way? Also no.

Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well in fact.

‡ The first time was simply a network shared folder, the second time was using TrueNAS.

Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content

Knowledge is power and the internet contains an absolutely monstrous amount of knowledge

Everybody wants to rule the world

If social media has taught me anything it’s that it was a mistake

The IT guy quits and it’s no longer their problem to fix

Lychee Slicer (slicer used for resin printing) is usually pretty good but sometimes it’ll still fail

Which basically means I’d have 2 choices, go in there manually with Blender or fire up Windows 3D Builder and let it work it’s magic

I haven’t fully given up on trying to find a way to get it to work on Linux but I’ve had to take a break from trying purely due to frustration

I didn’t know about the 16-bit support, which is really cool to say the least

I see myself as still somewhat of a noob to Linux

And sometimes the Windows only software is more “Windows only” and works with Wine

Windows 3D Builder though is firmly in the Windows Only category though. Which is a bummer because in my experience it’s the best at repairing 3D models for 3D printing that have errors like holes, redundant geometry, inverted faces, etc.

If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.

Link to the vid where they talk about it

Short sighted LTT video?

Checks out

Seriously though transitioning your team to a new software suite will suck at first but it’s worth it in the long run. Long term gains vs short term gains and all that.

I like owning my shit and want to keep owning my shit

I see GIMP and Krita in my near future

Well shit

It was only a matter of time given current trends

I AM HUMAN!

I hate to be the one to break it to you friend but neither of us are.

I would have picked the burger as well.

Yeah it’s lip service, but it’s lip service they pay due to feeling like we are a marketable demographic.

They feel that advertising to us as a group and making the haters mad is more profitable than the alternative.

The devs mention that as the recommended method on their GitHub (which I also recommend as it’s way easier)

Activating Windows is so easy nowadays
