Will do. I have also emailed my provincial premier, which I also suggest everyone also do. Contact your premiers, your MLA and your MP.

Fascism cannot be allowed to take root in Canada.

This is really going to start to snowball come March when Carney is picked as Liberal leader. He comes from a background of money management (governor of the Bank of Canada & England) and is well liked by both liberals and moderate conservatives.

I suspect that the liberals are going to pull up to a tie with the cons by the fall election, but we shall see.

Wait until they hear what data Instagram/Meta collects during use!

But they're a US company so it's ok.

Paid calculator apps.

Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.

Been a while since I had some time to do a detailed outdoor scene. A bit of snow this time because winter, of course. Made in Blender and Affinity Photo!

I put some of the blame on retailers as well. Retail stores just don't want to carry inventory anymore, especially tech-focused ones with many of those just turning into glorified showrooms. I don't know how many times I've heard some version of: "Sorry, we don't have that in stock but we can bring it in for you."

We needed a short length of garden hose here for the house so I went to two hardware stores and one garden centre looking for one. Nothing. Not even in their dedicated gardening sections. I had to order it off Amazon. A goddamn garden hose.

Amazon has done a lot of damage for sure but retail is suffering from several self-inflicted wounds too. Home Depot, for example, is a multi-billion dollar corporation and even they have a weaker retail presence now. That's not Amazon's fault.

The new software is able to detect if the hood is open and, if so, will display a warning to the driver to alert them to stop their vehicle and secure the hood

This should not be legal. They should be forced to recall vehicles and replace the faulty part instead of kindly asking drivers to pull over when the part fails.

The shit this company gets away with is astounding.

Capitalism is all about short-term profit. These sorts of long-term questions and concerns are not things shareholders and investors think or care about.

Further proof of this: Climate change.

  • and X has threatened to take them to court to seek the return of the funds plus interest

Doubt it. Call their bluff. They'd lose so much more to legal/court fees than they'd ever get back. X is just looking for a quick cash injection.

And so begins "Line must go up" and the inevitable enshittification .

This is just flatout theft. This is stealing of customer property. Incredible.

Not surprising. They archive information that powerful people would rather we forget.

Neglect - 3D (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world to c/artshare@lemmy.world

A little something I whipped up to stress test my new workstation PC while in-between bigger projects. Made in Blender and Photoshop! :D

Excited to see Discord do absolutely nothing about this despite it being an egregious breach of their TOS.

I picked up this old calculator from a thrift store for $25. I cleaned it up and got it working again and decided it would make for a cool thing to model, especially with the VFD tubes! My model is not perfectly 1:1 to the original but I tried to make it match where it counts. This model was a lot of fun to make and I am very happy with how it turned out! Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Mushy (3D) - By Me (photos.smugmug.com)

A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.

Winter Wonder (3D) - by me (photos.smugmug.com)

Been a while since I made something snowy in Blender! Turned out decently, I think. I usually do pictures with stronger, more direct sunlight so it was cool to do a semi-overcast scene. Made in Blender with light touching up in Photoshop!

A sort of thought-exercise-turned-artproject encouraged by my therapist. Not exactly how I imagined it when I started but that is usually how these go. Made in Blender with editing in Photoshop. Thanks for looking :D

Handsome and floofy. Was surprised how big they are when I saw some in person. Beautiful birbs!

Trade Hall C (lemmy.world)

Figured I'd share my latest piece I just completed today. For those that like a bit of spacey scifi! Made entirely in Blender with some touching up in Photoshop afterwards.
