Thank you, I will definitely check those out.

It also seems I can root my phone, but I’d rather not go that route until absolutely necessary (e.g. some future update that prohibits side loading).

I turn off my phone every night, so I changed that back as soon as I found out.

They also messed with the navigation bar… Before, instead of having three buttons, you could have it display three lines at the bottom that you used by swiping upward. They did away with that, so now your only options are 1) the three regular buttons that are too easy to accidentally press and take up too much screen real estate, or 2) one line that is harder to use combined with a back functionality enabled by swiping from the left ir right sides of the screen. It’s not only slower to use than the three lines, but it also results in accidentally going back when trying to scroll horizontally.

They could have left an option to keep the three lines, but no, they love reminding us we don’t really own the devices we pay for >:|

Idk, but in this instance, we have Paul the Apostle to thank for Christians’ submission to authority, no matter how vile it is:

Romans 13 1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

We need a fallback plan for when all else fails, since we obviously can’t trust politicians and Big Pharma with our health. Wasn’t there an open source project aimed at making the knowledge of how to synthesize drugs available to all? We need to build on that, and also a searchable database of naturally occurring compounds and their pharmacological effects. I want to be able to search a list drugs that might have similar effects to the ones I’m taking, just in case I don’t get my Rxs refilled for whatever reason.

Heck, I still pirate it even though I bought it. (I didn’t want the hassle of migrating my account after the Microsoft buyout.) PollyMC ftw!

I think ‘EEVEE Next’ is just the project name for a bunch of modernized changes, but idk.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that’s a good way to use geometry nodes for quick building layouts!

I wonder how difficult it would be to add floor moulding. It might involve needing to get edge data using a script, but it might also be possible to duplicate edges and find them using a special node group…

Looks great! Are you rendering with EEVEE Next?

Regarding the low-res textures: they don’t look too bad, but you could always blur the final image a bit and add a VHS filter like others do with Backrooms content. (But then all the other details would be obscured somewhat.)

Nice shot! Looks like Riverside or a nearby area.
