@toffee imagine looking at a cat sitting comfortably on a field of grass. Flowers shifting gently in the wind. You go outside and pet the cat.
This has nothing to do with 3D graphics but I hope it helps
@newt maybe you shouldn't be questioning the abolishment of copyright on the grounds that it's a necessary means for people to make a living, and instead question why people need copyright to _make a living_. Why is the human needs for food and shelter contingent on having a viable business model? Should we infringe upon the individual rights to share information for the sake of making that business model more viable - or should we maybe make sure that people's basic meets are met, period?
So yes, don’t automate your voting systems. You’re trading a little extra work for a loss of accountability, security, and confidence in the democratic process. Plus it might not even work.
Help finding depictions of positive masculinity in media, Please boost
Hey, so it's not too difficult to find games, movies, comics, etc that specifically depict powerful female protagonists and/or trans women because these works tend to specifically be labeled as such.
I have a friend, who is a trans man, that's trying to find works that depict inspiring male role models. He's trying to find works to better help him understand positive masculinity. Does anyone have any ideas?
Python: better typed than you think

It amazes me that once I thought about writing a `Result` type in Python, but I never thought about using `yield` for that (which is what the author did.)
Art project idea:
"Gendered" bathrooms with e-paper signs that change to different arbitrary symbols every day.
Symbol pairs will be chosen so that each day most people will manage to fit in but each day someone else would actually prefer a third/forth/fifth option.
Examples: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, Apples vs. Bananas, Vim vs. Emacs, Triangles vs. Squares, Coffee vs. Tea, …
you get the idea…
Dwarf Fortress has announced that they are working on adding trans dwarves, and they'd have added then already of he hadn't overcomplicated his thinking.
.... last time when he added gay dwarves he rewrote a large chuck of the personality system so that gay, lesbian, ace and bi dwarves would all arise naturally from the system, so that kinda makes sense.

@Are0h "Shouldn't be political" is just code for "should be white". They know exactly what they're doing. It was political to suspend a player for saying "Free Hong Kong" to a human-rights abusing government. It was political to make video games using the labor value extraction in capitalism. It was political for them to have the power to sway an audience to their side about it all.
They make millions from their deals with Chinese corps and are terrified to let Hong Kong be a thing on their platform. I'd like to point out the white boy they suspended for using the f-slur got a shorter suspension and they took more time to "investigate" and "deliberate" the matter; also the announcers in his case weren't also immediately banned for simply being near him.
