for me the ripple design wasn’t even a problem, but i dread the days i have to wash something that had cooked meat in them with that plastic.

but what if my unrealistic transition goal is literally a non-human form?

that’s an interesting read on the story though. writing in a medium in such a way as to pass one message disguised as the opposite isn’t a new concept, one such example being how a ton of popular music here in Brazil bypassed censors during the dictatorship from 1964-'85 to spread messages of resistance against the government.

edit: missed some of the wording. fixed now.

understandabe

not for long, and expect even more restrictions to its use after Web Environment Integrity.

for future reference, it’s even more convenient to use when you know to change GUI scale settings to configure them to align with the physical space

i see milk tasting almost like water like skimmed milk, as well as some juices i used to be able to buy, fillings in sweets like crackers and wafers being almost as thin as paper or outright stopping being sold and replaced by cookies using drops for a filling, yogurt being replaced by “milk drink” (yogurt is thicker and slower to flow down, i can tell the difference, but the label also changes, idk the english term for “bebida láctea”), a lot of sweets and bags reducing from 800g down to 600g, down to 400g while keeping the same price, packaging turning opaque and non-transparent, potato chips and other salt foods being filled 1/5th, down from 1/3rd, even instant noodles going from 150g down to 80g in the past decade.

only things that aren’t changed as much is what i know to be the very basic things that people in here uses and cooks every day, that being rice (5kg), beans (5 and 1kg), pasta (500g all variants), sugar and salt (1kg), etc.
mostly depends on the country you are in (i’m in Brazil), but the point is that it doesn’t stop at the chocolate bars.

there’s still some interesting parts to note in the comic. i personally like the slightly tilted view in the first panel used to emphasize the surprise of the moment for example.

that said, the original version of the comic is a fucking joke. i can’t imagine even my mother taking that one seriously x.x

i feel like i’m missing your point considering the comment that was made.

i’m not very sure about Windows aside from DeviantArt, RealWorld and similar galleries, but for KDE you can get a catalogue built into the cursor settings

that is a game engine limitation, not an in-universe physics limitation.

something to do with input sanitization probably

question: why is using OCR software more worth it than taking its contents with something like LibreOffice Draw?

problem there is that anti-drm and ownership of a license to download and run software don’t combine while financially viable to the stores. aside from the additional problem of having to manage inventories, trades and everything that happens to break those systems, “owning” the license and allowing to sell to someone else doesn’t do much if you don’t employ a DRM to enforce the make-believe of you pretending you’re monetarily compensating a physical larbor of transferring a given copy of a media, people will share things with each other before you can blink and not care where it comes from so long as it runs and it’s clean, specially in places where people won’t pay for games instead of food. only reason CSGO skins works on Steam as the original NFT system is because there’s servers to enforce what people get to see you holding and what you don’t own. and allowing for transferring games between accounts without a DRM is not something you’ll ever see any big company doing under the liability of being accused of promoting “piracy”.

i think nothing beats literally getting the zip file with all the contents of the game with no middleware like GOG employs. to decentralize the store further requires the devs to at least manage their own website hosting, domains, ownership status accounts for updates. the only step available beyond that is the payment methods, and i don’t think there’s any viable solution to be done in that case besides having more companies like Stripe and Paypal.

in that sense, Itch is handling things pretty good for devs so far,

no thanks i’m good

…is this a mandatory update?

all creative works are derivative

i can vouch for that as someone who participated this year. even maintaining a bunch of barcode flags on the canvas near the painting frame was difficult because of how little people we had.

@nodsocket@lemmy.world to add to this comment, there’s this video explaining what happened with Gab.

Itch.io is also underappreciated in this sense too
