The area under the guys face is blank. I’m not sure if it’s possible to stack a transparent colour.
Also the vertical sequence of colours is not the same through the horizontal axis. It could be done, but the right most girl would consist of completely different data than the first two people.
It would be a lot easier to do in other ways.
Despite being a shitty president and an overall fool, he actually had a way with words. Remember 2017?
I understand Germany tightening their borders, but this is the wrong reasoning and wrong approach. They’ll regret it in ten years time.
The actual trashcan will survive 1 mm of rain.
Also, this picture of the cybercan really shows the incredibly disgusting design. Nevermind the straight lines and outline, even if it’s stupid and all, it is fine, but then look at that unaligned front corner… god damn that’s bad design. It’s like two designers were working from the front and the back and had to meet their lines somewhere. It’s like a 2D design being transferred to 3D and then instead of looking at the third axis, they just snapped it to fit.
The measurements are completely out of proportion too.
And while I’m at it, those pentagonal angled wheel fenders, it’s pretty clear that the designer department hadn’t run out of available angles to use. Oh, you’re using a palette of angles? Well, here’s the wheel fenders going by system default truncated to a pentagon, no or maybe it’s a hexagon being cut above the middle. Who cares… It looks like shit.
Edit: Having looked at the picture twice, I’d appreciate if you could also take a moment to appreciate the design of the trashcan. The slightly angled sides have a purpose. It makes it easier to avoid anything getting stuck when emptied and if fitted with a bag it’d come out without a massive pressure from the vacant air that would be in a fully vertical sided can.
The angles on the top also serves a purpose. It can be accessed from any angle, unlike trashcans that have vertical or horizontal openings. The push opening mechanism simply works better this way and naturally swings back to balance without adding a spring. In case a malicious person were to position trash to obstruct it, it can be pushed from either side and realign after the next user. The only thing I could ask more was if it was round.
Also, the car is not available in Europe. Not for the usual reasons like because of the engine, the weight, the milage or the safety for the driver. No. It was not allowed because the design is shit. It was not approved because its design is unsafe for anyone nearby.
I still feel hurt by just looking at it, but here’s the thing: I understand why the designers couldn’t make it better… There’s no purpose for this car.
How can you design for something that doesn’t have a fucking purpose?! Yeah sure we’d all like an electric van, but this is soooo far from fulfilling that purpose. The bed is to too small to carry a fucking Christmas tree. There are already much better electric vans available for less.
The only purpose of the cyberdumb and all of Tesla’s vehicles is in the design. Mission Failed.
The thumbnail looks like the bad Jesus restauration.
Perhaps someone could make a business of it then.
Chromebooks sold well enough. Google made $30 billion on that in 2023.
Anyone willing to put together a physical Linux machine, market and support it could take a chunk of that.
It would be nice if it was possible to simply go to a website, check off on the stuff you want and then get a full package.
I liked the idea of AV Linux, because it comes in a bundle of stuff that I need, but it also comes with a lot stuff that I don’t need, and I’m not sure the desktop is my choice. It also didn’t really work at the time I tried it.(Some years ago).
So… if I, a stupid user, could simply go to a website, check mark at the desktop, check off which office package, music apps, browser, etc.etc. and then get a download of that in one go where it’s all set-up and works, it would be a lot easier than having to go through the process of installing the OS and then installing/removing apps, and then making it work…
Like, let’s say I want a PC just for music creation, I should be able to download the the OS with the DAW of my choice, all the VSTis and potentially also the most common free sound banks. In one file.
If I wanted an office PC, I should be able to get the OS, the office suite of choice and all the misc. PDF tools, email client and whatnot of choice. All in one go.
Windows and macOS sort of came with everything before, but these days they’re just as annoying to set up as any Linux distribution. Linux as a whole could take advantage of that situation by offering a prepackaged but custom installation.
Of course it would also help if someone made a Linux installer for windows, so users didn’t have to use windows to create a bootable USB. I think this is the step that normal users hesitate on. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it ought to be possible from software to partion the disc and install dual boot or something.
Yes. Linux Mint works “straight out of the box”.
It comes with a preinstalled browser (Firefox), so if you only use your computer for online stuff, then you dont need to do anything at all. Just use it.
The only technical thing you might want to do is to enter the WiFi password and find the software manager to install any additional apps you need.If you can install apps on your phone, then you can also install apps on Linux Mint.
I actually found that it was a lot easier to install Mint than setting up a new Windows pc. The most difficult part was using a windows pc to download it and making a bootable USB stick. Your friend can help you with that or you can follow a guide.
I have had zero issues and I have never written a single command line. It just works.
Why don’t they just make a proper OS without all that shit.
If the company buys “motivational presents” for employees… the company is already several years or more behind the employment market. You’re not unionizing hard enough.
How much electricity do you even have?
She’s gonna complain about the bill.

With these options, the only way I could enjoy the flight is by playing the Uno reverse card: I’m going to make each and every one of them regret flying in the same plane as me.
Goes to show that it’s only human.
I liked that game. The controls were horrible, but the story was okay and it featured a lot of new game mechanics for the time. They tried too much really. It was more of an experience than a game.
That’s the beauty of doing it on their side. They’ll see it.
Roblox is a mess, but in an alright way. There are many different games and investing into it is useless, because kids will move from one game to the next soon enough. I have never paid for Robux and never intend to. The kids keep playing it without the buy in. It’s something everyone in school does, so they play together and change game constantly to whatever is trendy.
I’ve only barely played it myself to see what it is like and if the chat was problematic. It seems safe enough, but there are limits to the gameplay when not paying. Most of the games are pretty pointless anyway and don’t require Robux, but the kids are still entertained for a while in each game. Robux might make sense in the more complex games, but I refuse to pay for it.
As for paid games, I’ve paid for Minecraft for pc and android and that’s worth it on both platforms. I have accounts for the entire family so we can join each other and they can have friends over who don’t have their own accounts or don’t know the logins. It’s relatively cheap and only a one time purchase. It can be tricky with the Java and bedrock editions not playing along, so that’s why I just bought more accounts. There are free clones of Minecraft for android that are soo close that my youngest didn’t even realise that it wasn’t the original.
My oldest has also herself paid for the horse game Star Stable for pc, which is a great game, but also expensive. This is more like buying an actual game. It’s basically an 3D adventure game with horses. No microtransactions if fully paid for. The account also works for android, but she uses the pc mostly. Again, this is because her best friends are playing it. She has no interest in horses, but the game is good. It’s sort of like GTA but instead of driving cars and shooting guns, they ride horses and run errands for the stables or something. It’s possible to play for free, but only until it gets more interesting.
Depends on age a lot.
My girls have mostly played Toca Boca World and Roblox (playing Adopt Me or Brookhaven).
Hmm. I just tested it in Excel. “No fill” will make it transparent. White would cover the grid lines.
So, I guess it’s doable using a set of columns with identical colours. Calculating the values from a picture would also be possible - for a mad man.
