Are you the same Blender Dumbass 2.0 ?
I am the same blenderdumbass as in odysee.com/@blenderdumbass:f and as in blenderdumbass.org
I bought a phone for something like $20 which is very simple. It has no vibration. It has 65 KB of onboard storage. And it is not a smartphone. I don't even take it with me most of the time, because I know that nobody will call me anyway, so why bother. I use it very rarely. The most usage I have from it is calling, flashlight and maybe as a clock once every so often, since I have many actual clocks.
On the computer I use GNU / Linux. And I have no complaints.
So I don't understand why even bother with a smartphone in the first place?
PS: I would love to try Pinephone or Librem5 though.
how and when you know it’s a necessity
I did the math actually. And it seems like mass surveillance will only be justified if homicide rates are higher than 20% ( if 1 out of 5 people die in murder ). And only if surveillance actually stops all the crime ( which it doesn't ) and only if there is nothing less problematic that could be used instead ( which there are plenty techniques, like normal regular investigation, where you ask people around on their own terms ). Basically the math says it isn't justified by an apocalyptic margin.
As always, they use a mildly annoying problem and try to solve it with absolute apocalypse.
It's proprietary.

Sat 05/10/24 Dani's Race ( Libre GTA clone ) will be streamed by opensource_gaming PeerTube Channel!!!
(video.hardlimit.com)
On Saturday 05th October 2024 at 19:15 UTC a Free / Libre GTA clone made by me Dani's Race will be streamed on a PeerTube channel opensource_gaming. Please Join the stream!

UPBGE is notorious for being slow. Partially for CPU and GPU not sharing time. That didn't stop us from trying to squeeze more FPS from the game Dani's Race.
Why?
A mistake was made, to start the development of Dani's Race on the same machine where Moria's Race ( the first part of the saga ) was animated. That made it feel like choosing UPBGE as the game engine was the right choice. And also made it so little to no afford was put to optimization.
Franz opensource_gaming stream!
On 30th of September 2024 ( few days ago ) a PeerTube streamer opensource_gaming streamed the first part of the saga, the Moria's Race short film.
https://video.hardlimit.com/c/opensource_gaming/videos
Subsequently he had trouble running the game at anywhere near a sane FPS. Which resulted in a urgent need to try to optimize it, for it to be stream-able by him. The new ( still unavailable ) build of the game now significantly increased performance. Not yet enough, by most people's standards. But hopefully enough for a stream to happen.
When will the optimization be available?
The latest release of the game at the moment was 25-09-24 which is yet to be unlocked by general public for general public. If and when it will be unlocked, a new release could be placed for an unlock too. This time including all the recent optimization changes.
Dani's Race version 07-07-24 is almost released! https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/files/DanisRace_07_07_24/
I made a very basic multiplayer support for this game. We tested it with a few friends. It is somewhat working.
Launcher and settings.
Working on new fire stuff.
Thread where I will post updates to Dani's Race. A Libre GTA clone I'm making.
🗞 I have been given a goldmine link by Beans @[email protected] which is an article from a Free Software enthusiast Drew DeVault @[email protected] on his distaste towards Richard Stallman's @[email protected] views on sex. I will be criticizing Drew DeVault's views while supporting Richard Stallman's.
Richard Stallman, a chairman of the Free Software Foundation and the leading man when it comes to all things Free Software, is known for his rather strange views when it come ...

🗞 Lars Von Trier is an interesting filmmaker. He directs mostly very depressing movies that are very hard to watch. Breaking The Waves is an interesting case study in his filmography because on some weird level this is one of the rare examples of a Lars Von Trier film with a happy ending. Even though you could perhaps argue that the ending is nowhere near happy at all.
Breaking The Waves is truly a Lars Von Trier film. It is the film where Lars Von Trier changed his style into the one we know him ...

🗞 As you maybe already know ( but actually how would you, nobody reads my articles anyway ) Moria's Race, the movie I've been making for 3 and half years is a worthless piece of shit that nobody wants to see. I could blame people for not wanting to see it. And would be a worthless piece of shit myself doing so, but instead I think I should unleash my deepest fears onto this god forgotten page, so if there is a poor sole actually reading my ramblings, this poor sole could learn how terrible the sit ...

🗞 Blender Artists is a website for blender users to discuss and share blender-related things. Blender is a program to model 3D models and do various other graphics related things. The program is very good and I like it. But the Blender Artists website is the kind of awful place where I don't want to be. Until recently I had an account there but I requested multiple times to delete it ( since the settings do not have this option ). The moderators were fighting with me over deleting of my stuff. The ...

🗞 This is my original post that I wrote on Blender Artists on the "The Spark" thread. Unfortunately the censors on that platform decided to deprecate my views and edit out what I had to say. So I published my review on personal website where they don't have such unjust powers.
Envy!
The Spark is great in all the things that graphical artists value. It looks jaw-dropping. But it fails for me in the story-telling aspect of it. What is the story of The Spark? A character falls down a hole and finds ...

🗞 Asian cinema is different from American cinema. When in America filmmakers are often armed with enormous budgets, Asian cinema is trying to survive with what it has while still delivering the same, if not more, entertainment value. It's not that hard when dealing with dramas. There most of the time the story is about a few people in few locations, talking and crying with one another. Which is not expensive. But it's an entirely different challenge when you are trying to compete within the action ...

🗞 Something Evil is a little known TV movie from 1972 directed by Steven Spielberg of all people. Steven had a few attempts at horror. Most of them turn out to be less horrific and more psychological in nature. He avoids torturing the audience, but likes to present ideas that are psychologically disturbing, like in Jaws, War Of The Worlds or Schindler's List. This movie is no exception.
Conceptually the film is very much like Stanley Kubrick's "The Shinning". It deals with a parent going slowly i ...

🗞 In my review of Babylon I claimed that it was 1941 of Damien Chazelle. But there is one filmmaker that makes 1941s all the time. And his name is Michael Bay.
If you want to distill the essence of Michael Bay, you should not look any further than his Verizon Commercial. A 30 second long explosive fest of absolute Bayhem, directed by Michael Bay and starring Michael Bay. He knows that he is a meme. And he delivers on that meme.
His 2019 film 6 Underground is another good example of the self awar ...
