A reminder that the USA is the only nation that ever used the atomic bomb to kill & destroy.

Needed to test some texture compression settings, and things got rough - because apparently our pathfinding breaks down at fast forward and lots of characters get stuck. At least it looks fun. 🥲

Wait... Ryan Corniel (THE guy doing real-time puppet demos for over a year on social media) set up a studio with ex Adobe Head of 3D (and - more importantly, before that, founder of Substance 3D). Very looking forward to their projects, as they were a huge inspiration for some work I did last year.

Games are bad for your kids: my son „stole“ a little wooden cube from his nursery. When I asked him why, he told me „Don‘t you see? It‘s the cube from Windosill!“ … 🙈

Pretty damning and sad; sat photos of how Israel is basically erasing Gaza and thus the people living there. (Probably behind a paywall, sorry) https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/satellitenbilder-zeigen-wie-israel-gaza-dauerhaft-besetzen-will-828557710541

If Apple will raise prices outside the US to keep the prices within the US on the current level, I‘ll start looking for other, non US company phones, computers etc in the future.

This wouldn‘t be easy but I hope other people will do the same. Fix your problems on your own, let the people who brought Drumpf onto us pay for it, or bye.

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibli stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.

A look at some computer history: polaroids from the Lisa computer's development. Always good to take a look at earlier steps in the evolution of today's tools.

Dear apple. please remove all file associations from xcode. No one wants to open an stl or gpx in xcode

As a rule of thumb, no app that takes longer than 2 seconds to start should be allowed to associate files by default.

If the President of Ukraine, whose country depends in part on American support to continue withstanding a hostile invasion, can stand up to Donald Trump's bullying and firehose of bullshit, so can politicians and journalists in this country with far less to lose.

Stand with Ukraine tonight.

NYT reader comment on Trump & Vance Putin-inspired bullying of Zelensky: “Never has a political party shown cowardice as the Republicans have….Democrats need to get over their post-election shock, take off their gloves, and call 75 million voters to the streets. The difference in the popular vote was 1.5%. It’s time to start hosing down the dark grime that’s covered our country in a short but agonizing four weeks.” #RESIST #Ukraine https://www.nytimes.com/shared/comment/45mle6?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=commentShare

Apple removes advanced data protection in the UK because the government there requested them to implement vulnerability for -all- users worldwide as far as I understand it.

Now - it's good that they only did this to the British = the people responsible for this government. But I hope Apple understands how quick people can abandon a system like theirs in these times.

I will abandon my subscription which goes back to the .mac days quickly if they ever do something similar to my account. #apple

I've been working on Ground Of Aces again since some weeks; started with creating this Lancaster. Had to do quite some reset after coming from the realistic work I did in UE5 back to lowpoly modeling & cartoon shading. #ww2 #raf #airplane #lowpoly #blender #gameart
