I had to manually remove the bad certs from Firefox today, which is what I expected but I was unclear why. Finally dug it up: my defense against Mozilla's backdoors in /etc/hosts:
I used Linux on a phone for 30 days, here's why I'm sticking with it, and why you likely won't!

listen, if:
- sam altman can say that he "will build a super smart AI and then ask it about how to make a return for investors"
- linus torvalds can use genAI to write a script bc apparently python is too hard for him
- and emudhra can use the number 4 as private key
then you can, in fact, achieve your dreams. you are forbidden from having imposter syndrome as of today.

I think Cory D. wants to live in a world where he can have his cake and eat it too
He gets to be the knight in shining armor to rescue us from the horrible Big Tech companies
At the same time, he wants to embrace the technology produced by these Big Tech companies and say it's pretty great actually.
Fuck that shit. 💩

Critique as a business model. Of course he will always shy away from being resolute when it could hurt his bottom line.

Now, one of theirs would like a call with me, to hear my perspective (it's not Bradley, I wouldn't even consider talking to him). I'm still torn whether to go on a call.
On one hand, as far as I'm concerned, the SFC's reputation is ruined, and they are irredeemable. But the person asking has been 100% respectful, and I dunno... maybe out of past respect for them, specifically, I might...
But then again: what's the point in talking to a member of an organization that has betrayed my trust?
I'm gonna sleep on this.
Slept on this, talked it through with my Wife, and she asked a decisive question: is there any outcome of talking with them that'd be beneficial, or at least not completely pointless to either party?
On my end, there's nothing for me in it. No matter what the SFC does, even if they fire Bradley, and walk back all the AI bullshit, the damage is done, and I'm never going to trust anyone who had anything to do with these events.
For the same reason, I do not believe it is of use for them in any way, either. The criticism against LLMs have been long known by the time the SFC decided to go the way of the slop, and they still went with it. There's nothing new I can tell them - or if I can, then they didn't do their research, and are irredeemable anyway.
So I'm going to reply that no, I will not be going on a call.

#Blender question. I'm (always) making a 'retro' game that will use vertex lighting. I'd like to ensure that there's at least one vertex every n units so that the vertex lighting isn't too coarse. Is there a way to automate this within blender?
I.e. in this screenshot the 'floor' has a pretty consistently sized grid. The structures have some much larger arbitrarily sized faces, which means too few lighting sample points. I want blender to magically subdivide these faces to a similar vertex density as the floor grid.
@voxel I don't have the exact details, but I'm sure that's where the remesh modifier comes in handy.
Also I brlive in sculpting mode there are options for what you want.
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully converted someone from the meatspace to the quiet pastures of beige.party and the #Fediverse!
She's one of my dearest friends of over *cough* thirty *cough* years, and one of the wisest and also hilarious people I've ever known.
Please give a warm weirdo welcome to @dopaminehouse!!
Welcome, my friend! I adore this community and am excited to share it with you.
At least Ruby doesn't have a show-stopping CVE today.
