When Digg fell, I guess you just had to be there to get this. Also, still an accurate depiction of Reddit admins.

The Ultimate Blender Tutorial (in 1998)
This book SUCKED. And not due to its informational value!!! It was because the pages tended to pop off. It’s a shitty binding, see? The publisher, Not a Number (aka Blender’s custodian corp) issued a recall, and offered to do spiral binding on these things. I was a university entrant. Book swappage could have been expensive. Didn’t do it. So I have a book that creaks. Half of it dedicated to turbo rad late 1990s art. (“Blender v1.5 Manual”, by Ton Roosendaal, published by Not a Number in 1998, ISBN 90-76519-01-3)

What with all of the comparisons to Digg flying about, here’s a contemporary comic from the Digg’s downfall era. * Part 1 [https://www.flickr.com/photos/25036088@N06/3424896427/sizes/o/] * Part 2 [https://www.flickr.com/photos/25036088@N06/4192738180/sizes/o/] * Part 3 [https://www.flickr.com/photos/25036088@N06/6642064613/sizes/o/]
In moments like these, I feel like nature is trying to give me a message
Not entirely sure this is the actual end, y'know?

Kids Relief: The $100M Charity Teaching Kids To Gamble In Roblox
Quick video summary: 1. There’s a few charities, Comic Relief and Kids Relief. They’ve done a few questionable things over years. 2. Such as commissioning a few educational games aimed at children, and then put the net profit gained from them to good use. …The games are AFK brainrot with gacha mechanics and zero educational value. 3. Also the games are on Roblox! We were talking about net profit here. Roblox eats a huge part of the pie. 4. And the development house themselves? It was started by a few YouTubers and it all goes downhill from there.
Oh Google!
This is a twofer. Combatant 1: Google. Once every time period of questionable length, Google gives me an Android pop-up that I can’t dismiss. This is to “comply” with the EU law. They want me to be extra sure of my rights to choose and want to know which search engine I’m using for the Android search widget and Chrome. Well, as a matter of fact, I use Google! So I tell them that. I hope it makes them happy. Combatant 2: ME …I fucking hate the Android search bar and I’m this close to installing an alternative launcher just to get rid of it. Also I use Firefox. (What do you call it when there’s two parties who want the same thing, but there’s an arbitrary pointless grudge that both of them can see?)
