Thought of the day: "Five bucks and a six-pack of beer will buy a lot of stupid."

Truth is, when I'm on the road with the machine, its integrated video isn't enough to drive the 3D portion of that interface at respectable rates anyhow, but videogames have been doing independent 2D and 3D scaling stuff for ages now, so it's not exactly an unknown tech. Why doesn't F360 allow for that from the get-go?

I know I'm being a bit hard on it, but... PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE. *sigh*

Well, okay, imagine those if they _hadn't_ been auto-resized from 3840×2005 to 1280×668.

...Is the auto-resizing because of dimensions or filesize?

Brilliant. The year is 2017 and there are still knuckle-draggers out there coding as though no computer display ever had a DPI above 96. Fr'ex, Autodesk Fusion 360.

Because my display has a DPI of around 352, Windows 10 is set to 250% UI scaling, meaning I get to choose between blurry everything... or crystal-sharp everything but erratically sized elements. Imagine each of these on a 12.5" screen:

"the world is broken on purpose", as @Ratttz just put it, is the defining revelation that seems to separate radicals and liberals, and which makes political discussions with liberals so frustrating. technocratic fiddles around the edges, tax credits and school lunches, are not liberatory.

hey, new masto users: go ahead and follow everyone you want! and then unfollow later if you want, too. it's okay to follow someone and then decide you don't want or need to see them in your home TL. (especially if you're seeing them in the local or federated TLs and not interacting with them much personally). your new TLs will be hopping with activity, and it's okay if you're overwhelmed and need to pare down, or if you just don't connect with someone. don't take unfollows personally :)

"I need clickbait articles like I need a hole in the head... and now I'm getting spam for trepanning services."

I'm kinda over these stories of people being forced to go to extremes to survive under capitalism (like the story about the Lyft driver taking a job while they were in labor) being passed of as "inspirational"

Oh goodness. XD

in one hand: glowing orb with swirling text that reads "pridefest was essentially a state fair with better music, a smattering of queer activism and a dope craft fair"

in the other: another glowing orb that reads "pridefest is sellout bullshit designed for straight people to gawk at while eating carnival food and feeling better about themselves"

i smash the orbs together to attempt to fuse them into one complex opinion. sparks fly. ozone crackles. my hands melt the fuck off
