I just learned there is a .gov design studio... la what?

yes! I did the same thing, although I never got a 486 and jumped to a amd k6-2 with Blender when it came out. Never had the math co-processor either, although it would have been nice.


Photopea as well (photoshop clone in browser)


That’s not a real alternative for a high-res workflow.


I'm still running a Pixel 2...


It's your choice but it's not safe.


Is there any way to make it safe? I've bought newer pixels and they are a downgrade all around for me. I just want security updates and the ability to browse on-device files/do file management (newer Androids keep restricting further and further)


LineageOS is not the answer. Check out the DivestOS, it is known for supporting 'out of support' devices. but I would strongly suggest you to change your device, that is too old. There is new vunrebility each month.


> LineageOS is not the answer

Could you expand on that?

I am curious because I have been using LineageOS on Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL phones for a while (and it works very well, I might add), but I am kinda clueless when it comes to Android security.


DivestOS is my project.

Here are the 170+ kernel CVE patches applied on top of what Lineage provides for Pixel 2 series: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/mas...

Plus it just provides updates quicker, eg. the recent WebP CVE was first fixed in DivestOS before other aftermarket systems. https://divestos.org/pages/news

And provides rapid out-of-band WebView updates: https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt

I still don't know how they are supplying water to the thing, we don't have much water out here as it is...


Isn't nearly all the water used by a fab recycled and reused?


It'll just become a issue later and another reason they can't be more of a thing there.


Likely another unsustainable pipeline off of the Colorado river if I were to venture a guess.


indeed, haven't been able to finish a mission yet due to crash after bug after crash.


I’m running and finishing missions daily. There are bugs, yes, but it is imminently playable.


I also do missions daily without much disruptions. As long as the servers aren't overwhelmed its fine


"There are no solutions, only trade-offs" 100% based Sowell. I first heard him debate when watching Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" series (found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dngqR9gcDDw&list=PLTplBPPoWd... ) and immediately got his books.


Yes, terrific books. Absolutely recommended. I look forward to celebrating his 100th birthday. If you've not come across him The Vision of the Anointed would make for a interesting introduction.

'Dangers to a society may be mortal without being immediate. One such danger is the prevailing social vision of our time - and the dogmatism with which the ideas and assumptions and attitudes behind that vision are held.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell


There's a supply of Sowell quotes here:

https://twitter.com/thomassowell

"People say 'you’re a very tough person'. I’m not tough. Life is tough. I’m merely trying to acquaint you with those facts."

"We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did."

"Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true. But many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly—and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence."

"The strongest argument for socialism is that it sounds good. The strongest argument against socialism is that it doesn't work. But those who live by words will always have a soft spot in their hearts for socialism because it sounds so good."

"I cannot understand people who say that minorities should be represented everywhere and yet are upset when there are blacks represented in the conservative movement." (Sowell is black)


and yet Intel is building a huge fab out here...hmmm where is the water coming from?


can this find the gophers? I hate the gophers.


I don't know why your comment isn't at the top. Good point.


I liked hitting F12 and being able to inspect all the things.
