Well... They had Madonna on some years ago and that failed spectacularly when she lip synced the entire act...

I don't think Eurovision would work with America in it because of American exceptionalism. That's why you'll stick to your national song contests.

The way 'herbs' or 'erbs' (as some pronounce it) drives me absolutely nuts.

Also, 'mirror' where it sounds like 'meer' drives me nuts.

I definitely prefer British English. Love reading the old Agatha Christie books. E.g. "My word!" The colonel ejaculated, "I do believe that she's dead!"

It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.

Still chaotic neutral, IMO

I think respecting another country's sovereignty is better.

Are you proposing more election interference...?

This is the opposite of that 'teach a man to fish and he'll never grow hungry" etc.

NASA is a government program, Space X is private enterprise first of all. And what exactly has incredible things has space Space X actually done?

One got us to the moon and back.

One has contributed an amazing amount of information about the universe to us.

One has made it cheaper by recycling rockets, which is not something amazing but largely driven by private enterprise wanting to create a service to gain a profit and return for investors.

They're both chalk and cheese. NASA doesn't have to do it for cheaper because they're not about making profits. They're not a company.

A better comparison would be to compare Space X to that other space company by that other billionaire.

Yes Gina. Go further into the weeds. Atta girl.

Wow. Ok. I'm not going to argue with you further because your understanding of AI is odd at best and at worst just plain wrong. Enjoy your prompts.

However, it's not really free, is it?

  1. It's stolen
  2. It uses enormous amounts of resources
  3. It steals your creations to feed itself
  4. Go to Step 1

Say you want to make a living off your creations. You've gotten really good, people love it. You can actually make bank for your hard work.

But this machine stops you. It takes all your creations and all the money for itself. You get nothing for your efforts.

 

A dark, slow paced tune about an extinction. Just spreading some Aussie influence, though technically she's UK since she lives and works from there now.

Probably because we grew up in completely different countries. Australia was very behind back in the day. We had a 2 year lag.

 

I really love this new song of theirs. Really glad they're still kicking around and coming up with bangers like these.

Also just joined the community after seeing the link in micro globe memes! Loving the collections here.

 

I switched to a Linux Mint/Win11 dual boot system over the weekend and installed Unity from Flathub. Running Unity Hub is fine but when I try to login, it hangs with no errors. I can log into the asset store just fine, so nothing wrong with the credentials. I'd like to know what terminal commands I could use to see what it's actually doing and figure out why it hangs.

I really don't want to continue using it in Windows and only keep it to run work programs, and really need to use Unity for University.

Edit: Troubleshooted via the terminal, then uninstalled the .Deb package that I downloaded from the Unity website and then followed another tutorial from another part of their website with terminal commands. Managed to log in and run my projects.

 

Thankfully, the cyclist got away with non life threatening injuries.

Seen on husband's ride to work this morning. Our local council is right on brand.
