None of what follows is new. I know this stuff happens all the time. And yet somehow this insignificant thing shocked me and it’s been gnawing at me for the past few days. And today was the icing on the shit cake....
Mad respect, this is the exact same outlook I have
This is also a reason I use Open Source software, because I know that if it’s not the developer, then someone else can pick up the project and live on in perpetuity, as long as it’s useful to even only one, the software will always be there
I just put on an album, The Eminem Show, and I’m curious what everyone else has on. Music, a video, the television, some mystery noise from next door? What’s gracing your ear holes as you read this?
Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...
IMO I’d call “AI Artists” a type of Art Director, since they themselves don’t make the art but instead direct and dictate what exactly they want, and if the result is different they tweak their wording to direct the art into a different direction
Art Directing, whether for a human or a machine or otherwise, is still a skill itself and still has to be learned to get good results, but it’s distinctly different from making the art yourself so I wouldn’t call them “Artists” outright
Yoooo you have no clue how many times I whip out my phone in a dream to record and photograph the weird happenings, and then realize “oh wait there’s no way to get the data off this thing” and just look down at my phone with sadness, and eventually wake up with that very same sadness
The Fediverse might be getting their own mashups of Tiktok, YouTube, and Vine sooner than anyone thought, thanks to the work of one prolific dev spearheading an effort. The best part? He’s helping other projects in the space, too.
“Pixelfed”, “sup.”, “Loops” honestly Pixelfed is like the only fediverse brand with moderately modern naming schemes, like I could imagine Loops and sup gaining actually traction outside of Linux folks, would honestly be a huge win for fedi
Honestly the occasional reposted tik tok is something I really miss from reddit, in the right community scrolling through the top of the week was an absolute blast!
I’m really glad to see some short form video fedi service joining the fediverse, hopefully it pans out well and gets enough users to have consistent content!
Was the lever track supposed to be a supertask? Cuz 1/(2^-n ) is just 2^n , so each instruction takes exponentially longer to execute, so unless the complex turning machine halts in like a single instruction, lever guy is gonna die 100%
But non-lever guy has the potential to either die after a very decent while, or never at all, and lever guy is safe too if i don’t pull the lever
Valve: “We helped develop the open-source technologies that lets you run ancient abandonware from defunct studios for an obsolete version of a completely different operating system, on a handheld, for free.”
Facebook: “You know that game you bought that you were playing just fine like 10 hours ago? Yeah it isn’t compatible anymore despite the completely static hardware and software. Only solution I see is buying a shiny new expensive device from us and making a Facebook account, there just isn’t any other way.”
Eternity hasn’t been updated in 4 months, in that time Lemmy itself got some really nice features like scaled sorting and instance blocking, but that’s not something that we can do yet since there haven’t been any updates...
Probably gonna switch cuz I really want the new features that the Lemmy devs add, like scaled sorting and instance blocking, and honestly I don’t have confidence that the current dev has any free time to keep up with the updates
Left column also has “Agency telling talents to simply have sex with the staff if they can’t pay” and “Drive top talent to suicide twice”, no actual deaths so far tho
It was really good at the start of the exodus, when I felt like I could write and be read, instead of missing the post by like an hour and being the 10,000th comment
And the community was good, too But now it seriously feels stagnant in an active way
I don’t really know if it’s because of Lemmy itself, or because “Eternity for Lemmy” was named after it’s update schedule, but every day on this app feels completely identical to every other day Just politics, Linux, and bad memes That is basically the reddit experience, I will admit, but on here there are basically zero active niche communities, and basically deserts of fandoms
I think Lemmy did get a sort method to try and accommodate more niche communities, but like I said “Eternity” is the update schedule, so whatever that may be I don’t have access to it
And I think that’s a really big thing, actually My app of choice is abandonware compared to other clients, I’ve reported a bug that gets under my skin 6 months ago and there hasn’t been a single update, so i have to live with accidentally opening posts all the time and I hate it
I really really like this client otherwise, but I might just move to a better client or a fork of the same project, I don’t know
I also don’t have instance blocking, either, so that’s fun
I searched up “Lemmy” on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I’ll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs...
Honestly thought this meme was gonna make fun of the fact that there are basically only beginner tutorials for godot, basically nothing intermediate, and absolutely zip on anything expert and above, especially for c++
Astounding absurdity

Are there any active forks of Eternity/Infinity, or should we keep waiting for an update?

To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)
