I will never stop harping on this. Generative art doesn't open doors. It's not good. Will never be good. Stop downplaying your own ability to learn!

Neanderthals could make art 43k years ago in a cave! With a box of dirt!

Our electric waffle iron got extra messy, so my husband decided to pop it open to give it a thorough clean. Turns out it was designed to break the circuit board if you tried to pop the heating elements out to give them a proper clean.

This means 2 things:
1. The designers intended it to never be service repaired. Ever.
2. They wanted you to eat waffles exposed to old moldy bits that couldn't be properly cleaned out without breaking the damn thing.

So now we have a cast iron waffle maker that sits on the stove to heat up. It's from 1963 and doesn't require it's own power outlet, doesn't have a circuit board, and we can actually make sure it's clean.

If I can't repair it, it's worthless junk. If I can't clean it, it's worthless junk. Capitalism is worthless junk.

@thegibson Some hackers.town fanart :D

every townie has my permission to use this for whatever reason :bec_grin: (2 different scales, 100% and 1,000%)

@phranck @inthehands @nurkiewicz at no point is this person's gender mentioned. Them is a placeholder for that and if you natively speak english I can guarantee that you've done this without thinking about it.

Additionally, they/them was originally a singular pronoun and was used as such even in Shakespeare's plays. Stop trying to high road people about a grammatical feature that has been part of english for more than 400 years.

@LambdaCalculus @LexPendragon @revengeday @x00001 I thought it was invention of the game cyberpunk2077? (To be fair, I'm old and more used to chummer, I'm just keepin up with the kidz™️)

@anarchopunk_girl honestly, as long as it's internally consistent i feel like that's fine. for me, my major contention with fictional stories is when the writer just ignores the rules they themselves set up
