Amazing! This looks gorgeous!

The screenshots probably shouldn’t include copyrighted movies though, so it doesn’t get taken down from GitHub. You can replace them with Blender Studio projects https://studio.blender.org/films/

(Also there’s a small typo it says steam instead of stream on GitHub)

Im mainly looking forward to it replacing the “DMs” of mastodon and lemmy.

I really wish bots were forced to provide their github and/or who is running the bot. Its really annoying have a lot of content posted by bots woth no way to report errors. This bot posts soo much and always has that tiny “summary” of the posts. Can’t it at least use the auto tldr bot code to give decent summaries?

Its still absurd Cuba is under sanctions. The foreign policy of the US is so horrendous

They should really self host their own codeberg instance

EDIT: looks like they do now! https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu

Maybe instead of invading the US should stop arming cartels? https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/02/stopping-toxic-flow-of-gun-traffic-from-u-s-to-mexico/

Maybe the US and their DEA should stop funding and working with cartels https://world.time.com/2014/01/14/dea-boosted-mexican-drug-cartel/

Maybe the US should stop israel from selling tools like pegasus which are used to hack and attack journalists https://web.archive.org/web/20240116033152/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/18/world/americas/pegasus-spyware-mexico.html

Or maybe the US should stop doing coups across latin america and putting dictators in power (too many to link)

They’re still pretty bad at being currency. Transaction fees are still too high and it’s still pretty slow and/or complicated

I’m sure this has nothing to do with their efforts to unionize /s

Yet he’s still holding the same position for some reason… its baffling he hasnt been replaced

No it’s not lol

Their political leaders are billionaires, the workers don’t own any means of production, there’s terrible workers rights, etc.

Lemmy has had such a crazy month and a half. Insane growth, XSS injections, DDOS attacks, admin takeover, domain name seizures. What a wild ride

This article was removed from r/wallstreetbets by the mods…

Artists and scientists can make a living of their work without copyright. CC BY SA and creative commons in general doesnt prevent you from selling your work and people can support art/science without it being behind paywalls. We need to move to a culture where we don’t try to enforce everything with the threat of jail/punishments and move to a culture where we support things we love because we want the creators to be able to continue creating without worry

I think since it’s a piracy related app it’s best not to risk it. It happened to YouTube-dl

It’s way easier to get people to move by just showing screenshots or a link to a lemmy instance

Have you been on join-lemmy.org? No one is hearing about lemmy for the first time and deciding to join based off of it. The entire website is all tech speak, and literal lorem ipsum with zero screenshots that actually show off the platform, and zero screenshots of any of the apps (which is how a ton of people browse reddit)

90% of redditors who go there will be confused and never go back. It says “a link aggregator for the fediverse” in big which, 99% of people will just be confused because whats a link aggregator? And for most people, whats “the fediverse”? Join a server? Run a server? What?

Then it says “Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform” people know what some of those words are but definitely not in that order.

Then its screenshots of some code on github? Then its more code saying lemmy is open source?

Then it says “blazing fast” with a screemshot of lorem ispum

Then a bunch if paragraphs and then a small screenshot of more lorem ipsum with teeny tiny vote buttons and more tech words

For those out of the loop that don’t read articles (this isn’t an article it’s a post by one of the creator’s of the driver)

What is NVK?

NVK is a new fully open-source Vulkan driver for Nvidia hardware.

What app are you using? I highly recommend Voyager

https://kagi.com no ads, great results. It’s $5 a month but worth it imo

Why don’t any of the articles mention what the “illegal content” consists of?

3 of them got RICO charges for passing out flyers…

Anyone have an example of how browsing/commenting works? Can we follow a forum’s section using lemmy or mastodon accounts? How do we comment on a discourse thread with mastodon or lemmy?

BlenderArtists forum uses discourse so that would be cool to browse/use with lemmy

It looks like ani.social they have a rule to forbid the content though might have just been posts that weren’t reported

For the confused: it seems to be a Visual Novel (possibly nsfw?) by the person who makes the comics with this character you’ve probably seen

They’re targeting low income locations to data mine on people. It’s shady asf and they’re barely even paying them. Meanwhile the people running it are obscenely wealthy and get 20% of all worldcoin…

The headline is ridiculous and leaving instagram for youtube and tiktok is a weird point since they are very different to what people use instagram for?

But why does everything in the world have to be so THIS or THAT??? Why can’t i have a chronological feed that gives me a “recommended” post every 3rd or so post? I want to see everything from everyone I follow while sometimes seeing new stuff and then when ive caught up i want to close the app and go on with my day.

I dont want For You or Following tabs. I want to choose how often im recommended content and see/change what its basing the recommendations off of. Everything in life doesnt have to be a war between red or blue hats for crying out loud

It would help a ton if mastodon - lemmy federation was smoother. For example if people could follow communities on mastodon without seeing every comment as a post would help a lot.

Is this migrating from pict-rs to object storage or upgrading pict-ra from 0.4 to 0.5?

The projection stuff looks sooo gimicky and terrible to interact with. There’s also no way people will be talking out loud to interact with their messages and emails. This is essentially a bluetooth headset repackaged. This is not going to do well at all
