You mean notepad++ right?
Heresy! Notepad was good enough for Grandpa and his woodburning computer, so it's good enough for me! I remember sitting around the fireplace with him, working up batch files. Good times!
I do agree with you about nano. damn that's awful.
What? No flame war? Times have changed
Let's see if I can help. The hands down best text editor is Windows NotePad!
There's something extra in the images if you drag them to the desktop. Still looking into what.
Pisses me off, I would have liked a Chernobyl Safety team or spreadsheet sweater!
it was cool to watch in vr, a novelty. i haven't watched any sequel. i'm not sure, maybe i did watch avatar 2, but don't remember a single thing about it.
my sister absolutely loved it. the magical forest, the creatures and all that. she has a hippie vibe, and that part wasn't bad. she had watched it in an imax theater but had me download it and drove 70km to my place to go through the whole thing again with the headset, in one sitting, while i cooked some sauerkraut. she was delighted. horses for courses.
Sounds like she's a nice lady, doing all that.
the first was so abysmally bad I stopped watching midway through on relative's cable tv. I hear the 2nd was worse, just riding on the name of the first. A 3rd? who consumes this slop?
I tried three times to watch it. Fell asleep each time. Boring. I suppose blue alien boobs was titillating for some, and it made a lot of money, but I never had any reason to watch the sequels.
I'm not"right wing" I'm centered, and don't think there is not right wing extremism. And don't think there isn't left wing extremism.
Your Overton window has shifted to the right far enough that what you see as centered is, by measure of the vast majority of the world, far-right. What we see in this country as left, is seen by the rest of the world as slightly-right. We do have some extreme wierdos on both sides, but overall we are a conservative nation by global standards.
The Overton window suffers from whoever is interpreting it. Perception. Narratives. Ground truth. I provide the following - not because I resent them. I think they are fine programs.
Free laptops for low income people: https://grantssupport.com/free....
Pay around 30 percent of your take home pay for rent. Uncle Sam covers the rest: https://www.usa.gov/housing-vo... Indeed, there are a lot of programs there for low income people. https://www.usa.gov/repairing-...

So we even make for a shitty version of a fascist country with all these social programs. 8^) Sometimes narrative and facts collide, and altogether too many people choose narrative.
Are we further "right" than other countries? On the continuum, yes - in some places. But really, Finland, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany have all made immigration much tougher. Racism has never gone away https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://stop-racism.eu/europea... That's why I sometimes tell those who should suggest they are better than us that they are in a glass house, throwing bricks. Yes, the US has had issues in those places. But we seldom hear about the same issues in countries, supposedly countries better than us.
Final point - well a pointed question is, with these other countries being so much better, should we emulate them in toto? Kinda scattered all over the place, but something for people to think about, if they dare step away from their narrative based life.
You really are an ideologue. You have no idea what "far left" actually means, but from your point of view - fascist - everything to the left of Faux Noise is "far left".
Your opinion, without facts, is meaningless.
FACT: Canadians I know consider most Dems on Congress would fit comfortably in their CONSERVATIVE Tory party.
I, an actual socialist, don't qualify as "far left", but how 'bout we nationalize all electric companies, and the grids?
I'm both an ideally and have no idea what far left means. Are you An AI hallucinating? IO see you have provided so many facts. I hope you are an AI hallucinating, because parsing your screed shows a lot of contradictions.
"Extreme far left"... where "far left" is anything short of the outright fascism of the US right and extreme far left is the rest of the world's moderate. Fuck off. Don't need to lie about right wing extremism to make the point there's a bunch of rich hypocrites in Hollywood.
You are going to be disappointed, I shall not "Fuck off"
Why do people like you demand others not express an opinion, or to compel our speech, or just be gagged.
I'm not"right wing" I'm centered, and don't think there is not right wing extremism.
And don't think there isn't left wing extremism. Like you.
Rather than your hateful demand for my silence when I fuck off, Maybe a respectful "I disagree, then have a discussion. Are you capable? I can provide cites, But perhaps telling a person to shut off is the zenith of your ability?
Maybe we'll finally see a return to real film. I'll dig up my ole, trusty 500C/M from the basement just in case.
I dunno about you, but I still scan my film negatives out of my Hasselbland 500 CM.....so even with shooting on film, it ends up on the computer in the end....
Wouldn't continuing pay and residuals help make the argument here?
One of the more appalling things I've seen in the US on this stuff is people saying "Well actors are so well paid why should we care". The thing is theres a very very tiny number of actors that are paid well, the stars. But the vast majority, and the ones currently being sold by the AI firms as being replacable by AI, are background actors and bitpart actors and these are the guys who MIGHT be getting $30K a year if they are in regular work, and more likely far far less
One of the interesting things that comes to mind, after the extreme far left lurch of Hollywood in recent years, is why the big stars that make millions per film, do not agitate for better pay for those that get paid only a pittance. I mean, they should be all about income equity, one would think.
People will often pick a movie or tv show because of one or more actors in it, because they enjoy their work. Some shows with a bunch of no-names succeed, but let's be honest, star power is a thing. If you steal that star power from actors, what do they have left?
Same as the rest of us, I suppose.
I think that these "stars" should be very concerned. Because already the ones that exist now, have a "last generation" vibe going on. Unless they somehow make it illegal to use AI actors at all, when they die out, so does the "star concept". They'll age out, and few if any new will come along.
Yes, I know how to Google. But extraordinary claims require evidence. You made the claim, you provide the citation.
I didn't make the claim, Shanghai Bill did.
I asked for a citation, Bill provided it. Not too hard.
He has a habit of helping out people who don't know how to use those newfangled search engines. 8^/
So he admits that he not only agrees there will be inflation, but he encourages it - he says that it would be worth it.
Yes, if you can't really grasp how that's possible then we're just spinning wheels. Merry Christmas.
I see.
Maybe that wasn't you who wrote:
"I am not saying prices don't go up but they definitely don't go up anywhere near in proportion to the purchasing power of the class of folks this helps the most.
A quick analysis shows they'll likely be around the same place. However, you just show you don't want an adult conversation.
grep me no patterns and I'll tell you no lines.
