We are living the paperclip maximizer problem, except instead of paperclips it’s data centers.

“I think I’ll remodel the white house”

Lemme introduce you to my main man edgar

The shutdown ended, and then all of a sudden there was a vote to release the files. For a little bit I thought it’d be vetoed or pocket vetoed, but then all of a sudden the president signed off on it.

Call me silly, but when the files didn’t come out the very next day, I was like “ok so this is where the shenanigans kick in”

“Stop being such a fascist and let us do business with these fucking murderers”

I’m getting 2meirl4meirl vibes

I don’t like neopronouns

I wonder if this was the same person who was on asklemmy or whatever saying “what can I do to convince my loved ones of the importance of data privacy”

Can you… can you give us an example of a thing that fits this description?

My main strategy is to avoid needing to buy things online as much as possible. Failing that, what you described is all I know. It sucks. Every purchase feels like a gamble.

Gettin real sick of this shit

In the AI era, a frozen copy of Wikipedia I downloaded before things turned even more to shit has never been more valuable

You’re being serious? Let me exhale from my nostrils in amused exasperation even harder.

I have a couple things templated, like a vertical page that fits on a phone screen with a few panels already outlined. Otherwise it’s from scratch.

Templates are boring anyway. Part of the fun of comics is using different shapes, sizes, and positions for panels/bubbles in ways that help tell a story.

On that note I must also plug Scott McCloud’s books, they really helped me see all the tools at my disposal.

all i can do is lol and roll my eyes

i don’t believe a word about china on lemmy

I am, and have always been, an untrained hobbyist. Back in the day I just used pencil and paper.

Nowadays I use GIMP and a Microsoft Surface tablet, but I still do most things pretty manually. I never really bothered to find fancy solutions for panels, speech bubbles, text, and so on. It suits my needs.
