And this time throw in a dash of potential disaster… https://idlewords.com/2026/03/artemis_ii_is_not_safe_to_fly.htm
Tldr: NASA does not seem to have fully addressed the heat shielding issues from Artemis I mission


I should have clarified, guilt and location matter. If it’s in public space then all bodycam footage should be free game. That’s no different than if someone recorded it from the side of the street. If it’s in private space then it should be based on guilt. But again, I don’t like where that can go as well because the inverse is cops come into your home shoot you and that footage is locked away because it was recorded on private property and you are no longer around to consent release of that footage.


It’s up to the public how they respond. The point here is not setting a precedent for police withholding bodycam footage regardless of who request. We can’t open any doors for police to try and withhold footage more than they already do. This time it just an embarrased celebrity but next time it might be copes wrongfully arresting, killing, etc. I do tngicr a shit about JT but I do care that body cam footage stays public information.


Friendly rebuttal. I don’t like this version either because of two reasons. First is that it is still using stolen material to do any of this “creative work”. Second: the knob twiddling, mixing colors, and all versions of that are integral to the creation process. Happy accidents are why we have a lot of what we have in the creative world. Somone chasing a specific sound might discover their own sound while twiddling away for hours. They will be able to do that in a much more replicable and modifyable way than the black box that is “AI”. But that’s just my opinion as an amature creative.
Guess what Trump sucks too, but I’m sure we would want a heads up if another country was about to come “liberate us”. The soldiers signed up for this and at this point “just following orders” doesn’t exempt them from the risks of an illegal invasion of another country. The alternative is Maduro would have broadcast knowledge of the upcoming attack and it would have been called off. No soldiers dead, US citizens aware of the attempt, and just a little more uncertainty inside the Trump administration. But we’ll never know. Still, it’s hard for me to imagine what is playing out right is not significantly worse than any outcome from a leak. This has opened the floodgates for this administration to more boldly carry out additional invasion of other countries with little to no checks and balances in place.


Add darktable to the list for raw photo editing. Blender for 3d modeling/animation, hell it even has a video editor now.
If Davinci Resolve seems complicated then Kden Live is another open source alternative.
It’s definitely possible to get started in almost all major creative endeavors using almost exclusively foss. It will require a little more effort in some cases but a lot of these tools also have good free plugins. I typically recommend people start there until they find a propietary software that is a must for their creative/marketing niche.
For me that was a DAW. I worked with what I could for 5 years before I finaly “splurged” on Ableton Live which luckily is NOT subscription based.
The 12 jurors are part of the same population that voted for trump. Are we really still surprised at an average group of people making nonsensical decisions…
Start with just one recipe. When I first was getting into cooking I was buying too much making it overwhelming to open the fridge and decide what to cook. As someone else mention shoot for having leftovers. One recipe scaled for 3-4 meals that you can split into containers and throw in the microwave when you are hungry.
However the new rules set by the current administration is also significantly devaluing those credits. Furthermore other EV manufacturers and traditional auto maker who now also sell EVs are chipping away at the value AND demand for those credits. Relevant article
