This is exactly why I just could not get into mastodon, and probably Twitter-likes in general

There’s no way, atleast at the time, to sort by top of the day. No way to see what was trending across the larger fediverse, no real way to find new and interesting things every hour on the hour

Lemmy is thankfully significantly better with this, and it’s honestly become my go-to social app now

The embed on my client only gave me the middle 2 panels for context and honestly still funny

Same tho

Nah they use “an open standard” being just markdown files or something, but the apps are still proprietary as far as I’m aware

I really hate how I sometimes, though rarely, see Obsidian talked about as if it were open source just because it uses an open standard

Like Photoshop isn’t open source because it can use PNG kinda thing

The en passant guy:

Easy billions

Everyone gangsta till you do this and actually see 4 stars on the windshield

Steam Machines would unironically be the year of the linux desktop

I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

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

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!

“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

Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free

Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI

This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?

Another .ml user here, and yeah it looks like it

It’d honestly suck to lose beehaw again, it’s such a standout server with a really lovely community

But if the devs and the technology just can’t keep up, then I guess there isn’t much that we can do

We still can’t even block instances yet, as far as I’m aware

Yeah there’s a decent ton of them out there, each player can find the one that resonates with them!

Something I think worth doing is searching “in 40 rhythm games” on YouTube to get a quick compilation of a bunch of unique rhythm games , and importantly it gives a little preview of their gameplay, usually at a high level

Rhythm Games in general, but specifically osu!mania taught me that I can, like, actually get good at completely new stuff no matter how much I suck at it to begin with

It also taught me that I really like Hardcore EDM, before hand I wouldn’t really listen to music cuz I wasn’t sure exactly what kind of music I was drawn to

I’d recommend reading Wikipedia

More content than you could possibly read, short reads typically, you learn stuff, and you can make games out of it

A game I like to play is to come up with 2 completely unrelated things, start on thing 1, and see if you can get to thing 2 on Wikipedia in 6 tabs or less, using Wikipedia links only

Kingdom Hearts II

That game is the reason the X button stopped working on my PS2 controller when I was like 4 or 5
