It’s being used in really high end handbags and such already. It can be made to be surprisingly high-end.

Other new materials can and will be scaled up, such as hemp based cloth, mycelium based leather etc.

Also eco village and co-housing. There are plenty of videos showcasing eco villages on youTube.

I assume the root problem is a near complete lack of money to make Friendica polished, or user friendly, or full of great features, or well-known. If it’s a tiny team who may have other jobs, then it’s hard to imagine it getting better.

Almost all of the activities in game apart from gradually upgrading your ship and multi-tool are optional, and mainly ‘for fun’. So, focus on learning more about what upgrading your ship would actually entail, and the same for the multi-tool. Overall the game is fairly easy, so enjoy the ride rather than seeking out ‘end game’ or serious challenge. I think of it kind of like a fantasy of american Car Culture combined with a focus on exploring a bit of many cool looking worlds. You find a really badass car/ship you love, and tweak it out until it’s amazing. You also do other stuff if you want to, maybe coming up with your own RPG style story that you invent just to give yourself other goals. You will probably get rich before long, so then you maybe collect more ships and pimp them out and build a cool base (or 5), or get into the Mayor thing, or some of the other game activities. Or just wander until you have had enough of checking out cool planets around the galaxy.

‘Key demands included ending public subsidies for tourism promotion, regulating short-term rentals to prevent housing loss, cutting cruise ship traffic, and improving labour conditions with fair wages and stable work schedules.’ - This sounds strangely sane. It’s hard to believe that e.g. greatly reducing the ability of mega cruise ships to dump thousands of tourists at once into the city every day would be unfeasible to implement.

Blame the people in control of the system, not the random person who would like to see a bit of the world while they can.

This was my career. Seeing popular sci-fi/fantasy movies maybe 1-2 times a year (especially on opening day…woot!) seemed fun and to boost morale a bunch. The studio was large enough so that several times we could rent out the theater to ourselves and be extra raucous, which was also fun. I don’t think people complained, since this was during office hours and not after hours or on a weekend. Otherwise, I think ‘if your going to give me free time then let me go home’.

I think longer ‘field trips’ might have sucked, even if they related to a game we were making. Sticking to sci-fi and fantasy films with cool fx was close enough.

Denouncing Microsoft.

Oh, and coining the term Ambient Music, and being an electronic music pioneer. …Nothing as historic as composing a chime sound for windows, once, however.

Cool! I hope this sort of thing continues. This specific robot is obviously pretty limited, but it seems like this sort of thing can evolve into really great robots over time. It’s certainly a positive thing seeing something like ‘early Linux/FOSS’ in the robot world.

I would love to be able to avoid Big Tech robots and still end up with useful, cool and affordable robots. I’m in no huge hurry, so the limitations of this robot at this stage don’t really bother me.

Hell yeah, kitty! This new box DOES smell fresh and ready for fun, right?

Spain is kind of nice, based on your list. I’ve been considering it.

Great track on a great album! So much cool ‘big beat’ style production…

Good chicken! What a pretty and fancy chicken…

It seems like this would be awesome if done really well. Hopefully each village co-op won’t become a village hub of corruption, and the people working there will be monitored closely enough and paid decently enough so that they have good reasons to NOT engage in corruption.

I suggest you ask an AI, like Deep Seek, that can give you a bunch of info for your exact situation. e.g. mention what country you are coming from, and ask for a list of options based on what you want the process to be like, ideally. Then ask follow up questions as needed.

And if it’s not obvious, don’t tell the AI personal stuff like your name. They shouldn’t upload anything from your conversation, but it’s best to be safe, in case they upload data anyway.

Classic Roger Dean goodness

People like to chat and vent about relationship stuff, and coming up with new wacky terms to describe the stuff is fun.

Maybe your relationship with a hot cat-girl you really liked was, um, problematic:

'At first, Miso love-bombed (💣) you into oblivion—showing up at your door with dead birds (gifts?), kneading your thighs while whispering “You’re my favorite human… for now.” But soon, the breadcrumbing (🥪) began: “Let’s chase lasers together… but not this weekend. Or ever, probably.” When you tried to leave, she hoovered (🚁) you back with a dramatic, tear-streaked “I licked your sweater and now it smells like me—you can’t go.” Classic situationship purgatory.

Then came the zombieing (🧟)—after a month of silence, she slid into your DMs with “Did you delete my number, or…?” followed by future faking (⏱️): “We should get a tiny apartment with 100% sunbeam coverage.” (Spoiler: She never signed a lease.) You were clearly benched, her backup human for nights her other “kittens” were busy. The slow fade was brutal: replies dwindling from novels (“I dreamt about you…”) to single letters (“k.”). Just when you moved on? Paperclipping. A 4 AM “pspsps” text. You blocked her… or so you thought.

THE ENDING YOU DESERVE: One year later, you’re at a café—happy, healed, dating a nice dog girl who fetches your coffee instead of your sanity. Then… a flicker of ears at the window. Miso. Her eyes widen. You brace for chaos—but she just drops a crumpled note (“Sorry I broke your PS5. And your heart.”) and darts away. The dog girl growls. You laugh, toss the note, and order a croissant. Finally free.’

(Lesson: Never let a cat girl gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss you into emotional ruin. Unless her apology comes with a new PS5. Then maybe consider it.) 🎮🐈⬛💔

No. Why do you assume I don’t know what veganism is, after I already said I was joking? It’s not eating animal food products, including not eating foods that contain some animal food products. Let’s please finish this conversation…

Joking, but not trying to troll
