Having finished that book, I started 'Witch King' by Martha Wells.
Still in the "getting to know you" phase with this book, but I'm enjoying it so far.

@patsytheshark @darkuncle @r343l @skinnylatte @pluralistic https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat is the one I use. It gets rid of the ads. Let me know if you have any questions about how to use it.
Windows 11 non-MS local account:
Unplug Internet before doing this.
On the “Oops, you've lost internet connection” or “Let's connect you to a network” page, use the Shift + F10 keyboard shortcut. In Command Prompt, type the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command to bypass network requirements on Windows 11 and press Enter.

“I am watching films that were made for TCL, the largest TV manufacturer on Earth as part of a pilot program designed to normalize AI movies and TV shows for an audience that it plans to monetize explicitly with targeted advertising and whose internal data suggests that the people who watch its free television streaming network are too lazy to change the channel. I know this is the plan because TCL’s executives just told the audience that this is the plan.”

I have been working on a cowboy, wanted him to walk up and shoot at some cans. I hadn't animated anything in a long while, it was daunting to remember everything.
I found a simple tutorial on YouTube, Below:

It helped remind me how to get things done. Here is my completed animation of
PIXXO 3D's tutorial.

I feel the fact that #Bluesky is connected to Steve Bannon and Russian state media and cryptobros should be bigger news.
But it's not.
If you search "Bluesky" using a search engine like DuckDuckGo, you'll come across results like "Here's What To Know About Bluesky" (NBC) or "X users jump to Bluesky - but what is it and who owns it" (BBC). One would think the aforementioned connections would be relevant info in a piece like that.
The omission is glaring.

Microsoft enabled the notorious "Recall" with the last update (for Windows 11 copilot+ enabled pcs only). It's part of the OS and can't be uninstalled. This software stores metadata about EVERYTHING that appears on your screen, including passwords/urls/images/videos/any messages you send or emails etc
To disable this gross spyware, run the following as admin on the command line:
Dism /Online /Disable-Feature
/Featurename:Recall
@nobodyfamous this is so amazing. I love the style, it has such character.
#blender #blender3d #b3d #blenderart #blenderconcept #blendercowboy this is my cowboy, it has been coming along. I plan to have a short of shooting the cans, but who knows what will happen.
As with all things plans are made but life happens.
I got into Blender at the beginning of the pandemic. Never thought I would get far, but I just kept working, kept building things.
It went from not knowing anything and having to refer back to tutorials to having somewhat of an idea of what I'm doing.
