One thing I never understood from the various free groups was why they didn’t use a loophole.
Requiring to charge (requiring to require) is very different from requiring to accept payment.
You send the payments to a blatant black hole never to be collected. Countries have different rules for processing but generally a non collected payment will be returned—2 weeks to 90 days. Eventually the bank’s return the uncollected money.
Or refund? Sure it’s more work but you could always send money back.
Hong Kong broadcast television: 1996-2014.
It worked in the beginning, though by the mid 20-teens it was almost Wayne’s World level funny on the pauses. The shows were so advert based the products became essential!
Look at the police academy series of series. The lates variant spin off quasi reboot flopped. The first try since 2017. With the advertising out the show has lost part of it’s over the top charm. In a cold dark (and occasionally darkly humours) collection spun off from two mild comedies, they worked product placement to the point of self funding.
There are hundreds of examples.
And it shows where you can go with some thought.
Mind you removing drm is in most countries illegal, but not impossible.
And again I showed hi I could youse your, TP, program to not just make a copy of a film, or other copyright issue, but how to make a weapon of war.
You didn’t intend it but you supplied the tool to do so.
With no programming at all: I could still pull it off with your software. Just using screen shot saves.
I use your software to render a model. Save the screenshots. Send them to the printer.
Sure I need another program to make the measurements. Sure I need a full CAP/CAM facility.
But you gave me the tools to do it.
So what: add AI to censor out anything that may be illegal?
Because we all know just how reliable AI content moderation is. I mean, tumbler took down a photo of a statue of Libertana. A Roman Demigod(dess)!
You know, it’s not the breast, it’s the nipple.
We’ll ignore the fact that her nipple wore off like 1000 years ago. The shadow is still there. Or whatever.
You’re fighting a battle you lost when you picked up your sword.
What all the bickering has created is a baby and bath water situation.
A forest and trees situation.
When a private site takes down protected speech they disagree with, it’s private. That’s the site’s right.
When they take something down because someone somewhere may come after them, be it government or civil, that’s wrong.
I’m gonna crap out an example here. Stay on topic, don’t discuss the subject.
When a site removes anti vax info because it’s bull and they don’t want to spread it, that’s their right.
When a site removes anti vax info because they’re worried someone will sue them, that’s wrong.
When a site takes down What Is Love sketches because they’re against nudity, that’s their right.
When they take down those sketches because they could be heals liable under some ultra conservative or ultra liberal judge that equates non sexual nudity with cp that’s wrong.
When people take down a game because the fighters are topless and they don’t like nudity, that’s their right.
When they take down the game because some parents group threatens them with a law suite that’s wrong.
Within the boundaries of current law, a site’s content choices must be with the site. Their choice of moderation, or lack of moderation.
And any decision on law should be made within and by members of, the judicial-legal system.
And the public should not have the ability to be judge to the content in action. Be it an angry prude parent, a politician or PAC, or the MAFIAA.
We need to respect the underlying fundamental right to the choices even when we disagree with them.
Because in the widest, and my, view, yes, Facebook censored a few republicans. And yes, Twitter censored trump. You know what? They’re private companies. It’s their right.
Censorship is in itself a form of speech.
I think the heavily redacted children’s Bible has just as much right to exist as Poole’s Bible, a film that was nothing but the sex out of the Bible.
How many internet for all programs have been funded. How many feed the poor programs have been funded. How many house the homeless programs.
How many bridges to nowhere?
How’s that working out?
We have more important things than arguing what should and should not be regulated by private companies in public speech.
Hey congress, knock knock, there’s a nasty bug running around the country.
Maybe we can spend some time debating further funding on anti-viral research rather than cry about who took down your post and why.
Well, no. In general emulation is used to allow one operating systems to run on another. Allowing for the forward use of older and/or incompatible programs.
In terms of video games? Well, homebrew is a big one.
And playing your own games on new equipment. Via either legally acquired/dumped Rome or yes, someone else’s dump.
Or with a cartridge reader to play original cartridge or card on modern systems.
Piracy is just one aspect of emulators.
And a valid use outweighs the criminal aspect.
Both sides have bad arguments.
The Dems want censorship.
The Reps want forced speech.
And party wise there’s little outspoken in between.
But it’s even worse when you get outside of the big two parties.
Like the ACP demanding state-level moderation.
Or the NCR trying to ban all porn.
Or the or the or the…
It’s like the whole of politics forgot just how free speech works!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Here they go with their principles again
Understood. But the aspect I get stuck on is their right to exist. Their right to believe. And that fits both those classes.
If it’s not front and centre main page… I say whatever.
If you don’t want to see tna don’t go to the bare boobs thread. And if you don’t want to see anti white racism don’t go to the black power page and if you don’t want anti colour racism don’t go to nazisrus.
I never understood the need to demand. If you don’t like it don’t visit.
And this isn’t a 230 question as much as we would need to add another layer of protection.
A site should not be required, or implied to be required, to remove anything user generated, including copyright material or your suggestions, unless and until told to do so by a state or federal law enforcement officer or a court.
The point of issue being right now citizen, not legal or justice, opinion is all it takes to be held accountable.
This should further amend the DMCA as copyright holders are proven incapable of accurate reporting.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Why should triggering a panic be
Yep. As I said up front: not arguing. Just saying it’s not always the case.
They all have a rear exit. Someone always tells you about it before the show.
And if some idiot falsely yelled fire at one of these I’d put money on them getting their arse handed to them for interrupting our film. Half joking but just saying: the cops would probably be the last thing to worry about interrupting an art house show.
It’s where I picked up the term “beat them to death with limp wet noodles”!
It would be about damn time!
You’d think after all the fake panics people would eventually go after the number one cause of death in human history.
More people die in the name of god than any other non-natural culprit.
No offence. Seriously. This is a moment for you to reflect on things a bit.
Your design immediately reminded me of Fast Cad on the IBM 360 platform.
Specifically on the 360 302
You know what else hat shite implementation and went on to greatness? Multiplan. Which they merged under a third party front end to create excel!
You may or may not have something there. I will download and look tomorrow/today and try it out. But… your webm demo shows a design layout late 90s that is neither retro nor modern. Rather the best forgotten era.
Funny thing with that, I don’t. See. I bug hunt. Occasionally I fix other peoples’ errors.
Sure, I’ve CIS and ITS education. But I couldn’t begin to tell you crap about how CAM and CAP work.
What I can do is tell you how to take five minutes in a format-free text editor to type up a few command line entries, make a quick scrypt, throw it in an automated Xcode builder and have an active module you can call in with a key binding. Or a plug in. Or a command replacement.
I question, now: how do you, TP, get stumped on a simple relocation directive? So stumped as to pull out the 1992 “magic box” card?!!!!??
?
Huh?
I figured someone capable of co-writing software would understand what CAD/CAM/CAP was.
There’s no “magic” here.
Note: your program could do this too!
Without getting too technical, and admitting this is outside my area so I’ll probably miss something.
3D animation is no different then 2D other than adding the appearance of depth. So moving from blender to a tank has a few extra steps. After which the process is the same as CAD to CAP. And ultimately CAM.
Step one. Using secondary model abstraction we request the absolute grid points based on a pre fed set of dimensions. Then we render the model component within those dimensional points.
We export each of those design parts as tagged SVGx.
We use the machine’s (your OS of choice, Win in your case), PS driver to then translate those SVGx to PSPC and output it over serial to the production processor, which is part of a manufacturing system.
Now, we can head over to a scrypt program, I like Martin but that’s Mac/BSD, or notepad++ in your case and write up a command operation for export location and sort order. A standard TDV table should work well.
We then create a load, print (send) operation. Called print. That will send the data to the serial output.
Now we create a master scrypt to run those two scrypts in order.
We can then use an interjection in the source of blender to call the master script when choosing a predefined output option.
So blender, via Save As, would directly be the source for creating a tank.
You could even get fancy and send operation instructions to the assembly system if it supports aHO.
But personally I’d prefer to walk down to the factory floor and push the start button.
Thing is I’ve seen demos of people using blender to make 3D printed objects. And just about every other 3DAni program.
Now you could argue that it’s not accurate in that the “printer” is not part of the program. But then I’d argue the program itself is not a single item but a large collection of of individual actions combined to make a usable “machine” and thus your software, and blender, are nothing more than someone else’s work. High level activities translated into low level translated into binary commands.
But that would be just as much an arse argument as a “printer” output not being part of the program’s design.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: One thing confuses me about Nintendo, though
I prefer retrofreak. It allows me to use my real carts. It’s got firmer sockets than the original systems.
Yes, I know it’s a super micro android system.
Like I said it’s the best built cartridge ports I’ve come across.
Takes care to push them in perfect vertical, but there is no play in the connection like you have on consumer sockets.
By exporting blender renderings as a series of abstract grid coordinates via a modified svg collection rather than video, you could feed those into a CAM system capable of translating it to physical grid points for 3D manufacturing.
Now if you did that via a small scrypt using a macro or key binding within blender…
Blender makes a real tank.
I’m not taking sides here. Btw. But you may want to think through your argument a bit better.
On my he other hand, has anyone seen a rotating cube produced with blender? Just asking.
My guess would be an easily influenced subconscious of younger people.
Some people are just more apt to pick up and mimic things than others.
I’ll pick up local lingual accents in a few days. It’s not by choice. It just sort of happens.
And some things I never loose later. Slurs, combos, dropped letters, etc.
And I’ve read about people picking up mannerisms. Don’t know how true that is though.
I think those old studies may have been the lost basis of the various panics over this or that influence.
Your not spreading some neural syndrome, you’d be mimicking the effects.

Charge vs accept?
Spain wasn’t the first nor last with such a law.
One thing I never understood from the various free groups was why they didn’t use a loophole.
Requiring to charge (requiring to require) is very different from requiring to accept payment.
You send the payments to a blatant black hole never to be collected. Countries have different rules for processing but generally a non collected payment will be returned—2 weeks to 90 days. Eventually the bank’s return the uncollected money.
Or refund? Sure it’s more work but you could always send money back.
