A fresh Steam Deck Verified games round-up for January 2025 gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/a-fr…

I'm seeing a lot of talk about #Pixelfed this week. Many regard it as a viable alternative for Instagram.

But it also works very nicely for a graphic art portfolio site, which is closer to how I'm using mine:

px.filmfreedom.net/@lunatics

For this, the "Collections" feature is very nice. I have collections for "Tests", "Stills", "Characters", and "Design", and I can add more.

And there's a "Portfolio" view, accessible from my profile.

More restful than a site always pushing stuff on you!

in reply to Space Catitude 🚀

This is really a real cool use of pixelfed. I wish I could see the collection titles before I click, though. I just see a cropped version of the first image of each collection in a grid on the collections page.

alright, I'm seeing renewed interest in #pixelfed so I figured I'd explain the #fediverse in a way that makes sense to people. with pictures. sit back, it'll be interesting, I promise! 🧵

(note that this isn't about bluesky. they're built different and I don't know enough about how they work)

LM Studio also can implement Qwen visual model now, unfortunately not yet for Linux, though.

you're starting to lose me with these 'AI' posts... Maybe you should put those on LinkedIn instead, people can't get enough of that shit there.

I've now started linkifying my discussion of how the Nintendo Entertainment System compares to the hardware I designed for web browsing.

In particular the small microprocessor I added for checksums, symmetric crypto, randomness, reading/writing numbers, counting, comparisons, SFX, etc.

You've provided some good 6502 links, thank you!

@ephemeral I love thinking through how things could be different!

I do appreciate solid-state drives, & I can see the value in fully-programable GPUs... Or widespread fiber... I don't think I appreciate much else in computing since mid-2000s...

Cryptography improved, & we have CRDTs & DGGS now. But that's software!

Going back to 1980s meanwhile, I think (if your software supported that hardware) most people would probably complain about the limited memory before the limited CPU!

in reply to alcinnz

that's fair. It's hard to imagine what people might think in that hypothetical. Maybe 'the web' would have remained a bunch of computers tethered together at CERN and a mild curiosity for people who read encyclopaedias.

I don't think I know enough about computing to know what hasn't advanced, and I appreciate your thoughts there.

And I guess lot of the fiber that affected the day-to-day was already rolled out in the late 90s, so even that predates your timeline.

Antivaccine bullshit is most likely to be blamed.

But also, are vaccines provided for free in the U.S.? Do you have to pay for them? If so, could many of those known as working poors be unable to afford them?

unicode proposal: you should be able to send an emoji with a specifier for which image set and version you want.

sometimes you want to send 😔, and you don't mind which version is displayed. but sometimes you want to send 😔, and have it specifically be the Samsung TouchWiz 7.0 (2016) version.

no other iteration of 😔 captures the feeling of "sigh... if only my girlfriend Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 2 was real... then i could be her Ultimate Gamer Husband instead of studying for this lame physics exam..." quite like this one

Lynnesbian reshared this.

in reply to Inga stands with 🇺🇦 🇵🇸

@IngaLovinde yes but ideally every client would have to contain every iteration of every emoji set, so i could just send U+1F614 PENSIVE FACE followed by U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER and U+EA07 TOUCHWIZ SEVEN MODIFIER
