But then how are they meant to harvest all your data if they don't force you to use their special little app?

Playing around with making a Hornet silk attack thing for SL, I always love playing around with a (relatively) simple shape, some UV fuckery, and a scrolling mostly transparent texture. Most of my most liked projects use this same technique.

I think I always like WIP posts more than completed work posts.
Seeing someone post a WIP shot of their art/craft makes me think that they are excited about the work and can't wait to show it off even if it's not done yet.

Just ask the question, is any other company allowed to do that? Would it be fine for me to use the coca-cola, mcdonalds, or amazon logos and just tint it a different colour? Or would they suddenly get upset about their copywritten designs being used.

What's y'all's opinions on changing the pronouns in song covers depending on the singers gender?

I just listened to a female singer do a cover of Welcome to the Black Parade, and all the 'boys' got changed to 'girls' and I think it gave me psychic damage.

With how many corners the nazi cuts on their expensive models, I'm gonna guess this one is held together with chewed gum and some string.

Now the only thing it does is try to sell you any product it can recognize, much like regular image search...and the normal search, I wonder how they are going to try and put advertising into the google translator.

In fact, you'll find that customers just simply DO NOT TELL YOU WHAT THEY WANT, like they are some kind of sphinx and you have to solve their coffee riddle.

"I'll have a coffee." "Size?" "Medium." "Type of coffee? "Latte." "Sugar?" "2 sugars."

Just say "I'll have a medium latte with two sugars."

For real. I had to go to a care plan doctor the other day who basically just told me all the other doctors I would have to see, while there she called one to see if they were available and then told me to book an appointment with them. Motherfucker you were just talking to them, just book it for me.

Todays turning is an apple made from rose mahogany. Was very nice to turn and I got to try a few new techniques to me (needed to make a screw chuck). The stem is just some dowel I had lying around turned down to a golf tea shape.

Gotta make a bunch more, maybe some pears too, to fill a bowl to gift

It's actually bad for people who get triggered by some topics. Almost all websites and browsers can block words you don't want to see, if you are triggered by these topics you can block these words, but if they are avoiding using those words by self-censoring then the topics will avoid their blocks.

As a pretty stoic person who doesn't like to show weakness or discomfort, I can tell you boy it fucking sucks to go back to work after a long bout of sick leave, having to explain to every single other employee and regular customer how my body sucks and is broken.

Turned a pokeball today, was pretty fun, it's not a perfect sphere but pretty close for a first time. A bit of tear out on the top there with the end grain, but what are you gonna do.

Olive wood, used food colouring for the red and black, mineral oil and beeswax for the finish.

I assume there are two big reasons for this. Once it's done they no longer have the AI-Stank on the image anymore, so they can hide it from people that don't like AI. More importantly you can't copywrite an AI image, but once it's redrawn/traced, it's no longer an AI image and can be.
