You bet your ass I will be on the streets protesting if that happens. Would be one of the most disgusting things they could do

But hey, maybe if Trump comes to Norway I’ll manage to hit him with a rotten tomato (and then his bodyguards killing me, but that is a risk I’m willing to take)

Well, it is about cybersecurity

But then tomorrow the thing still needs to be done and the cycle repeats

Linux has become the most popular operating system on Azure as over 60% of customer cores run Linux-based workloads.

Even on Microsoft Azure they mostly use Linux

Maybe windows still underpins some important services for them though, I can’t really comment on that

That seems so… Quaint

Like, that was the thing that would make someone think about moving out back then?

Knight is rarely a better choice indeed, and it might even be optimal to choose a rook or bishop in extraordinary circumstances, such as if choosing a queen leads to a draw

Even better than soap and water is using cleaning fluid for glasses

No I know, I just typed quickly and recklessly

Just pretend that the “ancient” in my comment meant like, “gamers 500 years in the past” or something

Lmaoo, even ancient gamers were complaining about women in games

Wdym supported for 2 months? It was, and still is, in closed alpha, getting regular updates

Damn, you just described exactly what some adult ex-friends of mine have done

Impressive

A country being car centuries, however, does mean that people vastly prefer buying things online than going there yourself. When it’s far away, needs a trip, need to find parking, and can’t just pop into a mall randomly when walking nearb

People don’t tend to find people who shun artforms as very interesting people

Yes, multiple times

Most recently it was “In stars and time”

I mean, I’m being facetious, for the record. It is, of course, a deeper and more interesting topic

Though, what I would end up saying in reality is that the distinction is for the most part meaningless in my opinion. The manufactured does not have to inherently be at odds with the natural.

For a serious answer, bad mental wellbeing

Many people don’t know how relationships are supposed to work, they only have had bad experiences and lack perspective, they had bad parents which thus weren’t good role models, or they have mental health issues such as low self-esteem, or anxiety, or maybe even paranoia, and so on

There’s a whole host of reasons, but none of those reasons are rational. They’re broken results from struggling people. It’s important to try to be self-aware and figure out one’s issues to avoid things end up like this

Unfortunately I don’t think current raytracing techniques incorporate the quantum nature of light

It has, it’s basically the field of geoengineering

Is an anthill not natural despite having been made by natural beings?

Is Hatsune Miku not natural despite having been made by natural beings?

Hatsune Miku is the anthill of humanity. The peak of our nature.

Is this based upon an expert’s understanding of the topic, or is it just you speculating, though?

I do not intend to be hostile if it comes across that way, but it kinda feels to me a bit like you’re saying things were like this or that so it fits your conclusion instead of basing it upon any literature

But regarding the art, have you ever tried drawing? That shit is so much more difficult than it might seem at first. Converting a 3D world into a 2D image is not easy. Drawing is a technology, and not just that, but it’s culture, it’s subjective. People back then might not have cared about replicating reality in art, but instead cared about other aspects of it, and the brain is good enough to fill in the blanks as needed anyway

To further the point, perspective drawing was an invention. It’s not just something that humans intuitively know how to do. You look at old art humans made in the medieval times and so on, and they also look primitive compared to what human artists could make today (not me, however).

The technology of art needed time to develop, just like other forms of technology, and there was no such technology during those times. They had nothing to go off on, just like in other areas.

So, yes, it is not unreasonable to say that cave paintings probably were among the best drawings humans could make at the time, just like searing something over a fireplace might have been the best way of cooking food back then.

It’s also not unreasonable to say that cave paintings likely were important parts of culture and artistic expression as well. Doubly so when some cave paintings were deep inside dark caves. That’s not a place where you’d find people playing around with kids.

Saying that it was just to entertain children is very dismissive of the likely time and effort those art pieces, and the creation of their pigments, took
