It's a Lemmy feature that happens when you use the crosspost button.

It kinda looks like it's been painted, which is a fun twist on pixel art.

I was surprised to see the artifacts when I looked at the full-sized image - even though I shouldn't've been cos AI gonna AI.

It's really cool that it understands that it should look blocky, but not that the blocks should be aligned on a grid. It's accidentally been way more creative with the brief than if it'd emulated pixel art better.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.

I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that's only cos I'd watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

Love to see some more OC here!

So this is on Prince Patrick Island? I can't imagine how cold it is up there at 76° latitude (not that it looks too cold in your picture).

I love Art Deco too. I've been to the Atlas Bar in Singapore which is amazing.

That link 404s for me, is it all there?

Ah, it's at https://www.amsterdamsights.com/nightlife/tuschinski.html

Thanks! I'd originally found this under the name "Special k" but I discovered it's Kelenföld and edited in some other links in as you were posting.

Perhaps some Youtube's done a video on it... I feel like I've seen a headline or link saying something like "Why Paul is underrated" recently.

I didn't know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

I'll take "Artisan"!

I'd guess Germany, since it's a VW and the artist is German, but I couldn't find anything authoritative saying the location.

Originally built for use in the 1930’s by Japan, it was later seized by Russians and used during World War II, powered by nuclear power. During the 1990’s and the fall of communism, the lighthouse became vacant and has since been abandoned.
