Your reminder that realism is not a universal creative goal. In fact, realism is rarely the most important art goal, even when it hits the list.
Anyone telling you a machine’s realism matters more than human agency and human choices in creation doesn’t understand what they’re working (read: fucking) with.
We need to separate “tech” companies from videogames. This level of ghoulishness is insufferable. This is not progress in visual tech. This is defacing of an art form by people with ugly souls.

Act now to save Tesso Nilo Park. This vital Indonesian park has lost 78% of its primary forest, threatening the habitat of Sumatran tigers and elephants
"One thing that should be clear is the intimate link between economic wealth and political power. It is no coincidence that authoritarianism is rising in one of the countries with the highest levels of income and wealth inequality in the world, and the greatest number of billionaires. Extreme wealth gives rise to extreme power, undermining democracy."
Humanity needs to embrace the concept of Enough. I did it long ago. I don't live a great deal differently than I did as a college student. Yes, my condo is twice the size of my first apartment and better furnished, but that's about all the difference. I still drive a cheap car (21 year old Honda Civic) and otherwise live simply. Why that's so hard to embrace is beyond me. It saves all kinds of grief.
I’m of the opinion that having too much actually makes you unhappy. It’s why they are never satisfied. They never reach Enough and are constantly unhappy, so they want us to be unhappy too.
Just got back down from climbing the mast, we noticed a broken spoke in the backstay I made in New Zealand, we took it off and will make a new one next week, but damn, it's weird, clean cut. #theBoatyard
@gustav Hmm, hard to see, but looks like the final break is on the outside top, putting the origin on the inside. Yeah, definitely, you can see where it elongated before breaking.
If the origin was on the outside, I'd say you scratched it when installing. A small slip of the wrench can be enough.
But the final break is on the outside, so more likely fatigue. Most likely cause is a too slack rig. Did your leeward shrouds go slack when powered up? They shouldn't.
You might see more when you open the swageless fitting and get a good look at the broken strands ends. Probably beaching, like this: reliability.com/resources/arti…
Things I learnt from Vyv Cox, who's a really nice guy that loves staring at broken metal and talking about it.
@neauoire A Mistral stronger than expected unfurled the genoa this morning. It started flapping wildly in all directions, tore apart, and ripped off the radar and a spreader. On the phone, the marina had even told me that a shroud had snapped. I was kind of relieved to find out when I arrived that they had mistaken a shroud for the old lazy-jacks. Still, I lost a (worn) genoa, a (non-functional) radar and a spreader (the short one). This last thing is what concerns me more now cause the mast is bent the other way now.
WOAH, daaamn. That sucks. So the jib unfurled while the boat was unattended and it ripped itself off? Sucks that no one at the marina was there to fix it!! wtf
@neauoire Exactly what happened. The boat has been docked here for 10 days, it's a-- how do you say port à sec? It's even the-largest-in-Europe says the brochure, there are currently around a thousand boats. Astragale is a bit off to the side, in a corner where there isn't much people around. The dock workers did what they could when they noticed what was going on, they helped but they arrived once the damage had already been done :/
I mean, it kind of always was. From the get go it was built on top of ML upscaling and, ultimately, what people call "AI" these days is the rebranding and continuation of this nonsense
!@Friendica Support Habe einen Nutzer blockiert und vorher leider mit seinen extremistischen Hashtags zitiert. Jetzt bekomme ich die Tags nicht aus meinem Profil raus. Habe die bereits im Admin unter "blockierte Trending Tags" blockiert, aber sie werden immer noch in meinem Profil angezeigt. Muss, bzw. (wie) kann ich die Tags aus der DB löschen ohne Inkonsistenzen zu erzeugen? Kann ich die Tags auch blockieren, also nicht nur in den Trending Tags nicht anzeigen, sondern gar nicht, in keinem Profil anzeigen?
@Michael 🇺🇦 Das ist schon etwas länger her, keine Ahnung ob ich den finden kann oder nicht schon gelöscht habe?!? Jedenfalls erscheint in der Suche nichts wenn ich auf die Hashtags klicke. Die Tags verschwinden aber auch irgendwie nicht.
@Michael 🇺🇦 Ich füge mal eine Screenshot an. Aufgrund der Inhalte verzichte ich mal auf den Alt-Text, einige dieser Schlagworte will keiner (keine normale) haben. Bastel schon an Verschwörungstheorien, eine Sicherheitslücke?
Du hast ja geschrieben, dass Du einen Beitrag dieses Users zitiert hast. In dem waren wohl diese Tags. Wenn Du diesen Beitrag löscht, verschwinden sie aus Deiner Sicht.
@Michael 🇺🇦 Ich habe keine Ahnung wie ich den Beitrag finden kann. Wenn ich diesen Query ausführe:
SELECT * FROM `tag` WHERE `name`='XXX';
...dann ist "url" und "type" leer. Es ist nur die ID und der Name vorhanden.
Ich weiß nicht, wenn ich den Query mit delete ausführe, ob ich das für das Tag/die tags nicht sogar schonmal gemacht habe, oder ob dann Inkonsistenzen in der DB entstehen können?

Regular reminder that strong diving cold fronts like what much of the country is experiencing right now can be symptomatic of a destabilized jet stream caused by climate change. This morning and overnight tonight in Northwest Arkansas we will see temperatures around 17F (-8C), however temperatures will rapidly warm up and as soon as Thursday temperatures will be in the 80s and will crest around 87F on Saturday (31C).
Absolute wreck for flowering plants and trees, many of which came into bloom a full month early compared to recent years. While our garden at home is currently 'cold weather' tolerant vegetables and plants, I'm not sure they'll make it out unscathed.
Covered everything in tarps last night and letting them catch some sun this afternoon before covering again. The year-old Jane Magnolia in our font yard will lose all of its blooms and I'm worried about the new growth that had already started.
Official date of last frost isn't until April, which I get and there's a risk to planting anything in the ground this early. But with the increased tendency for spring weather patterns to set in so early before the final frost... it can wreck havoc on entire ecosystems.
Even the native plants that "know better" were starting to pop out and will be nipped in the bud over a barely two day span.
this happened here in VA. Everything is blooming and this cold front coming in will likely take out quite a bit. Happened last year too. I'm sad for my pear tree 🙁
La IA no busca imitar inteligencia humana: codifica trabajo y relaciones sociales en algoritmos reproducibles para crear un monopolio del conocimiento. Su propósito: automatizar la automatización, reducir el poder de quien no posee los algoritmos, reprimir movimientos políticos y desmantelar el trabajo.
La IA ofrece una promesa irresistible para las élites capitalistas: poder dirigir automáticamente la mayoría de las instrucciones que guían la actividad humana, reduciendo el poder de las clases sociales que no son propietarias de los algoritmos.
If anyone is interested in #FPS #multiplayer game technology and happens to know #Godot, I am open to talk 😀 Hit me up here or join team chat at liblast.zulipchat.com I am currently wrestling with an entity and world state system. I have a problem because I would want to be able to do `if node is Entity: stuff()`, but root nodes of various scenes (like a game character, and interactive prop etc) uses a node type like CharacterBody3D which properties I want to access, but also extend Entity
Performance is a promising feature, but IMO it takes a feature-rich environment to get a *foot* in the door of this market. (Pardon the pun.) I am too addicted to stuff like cash/tmux integration, and a lot of Linux terms are just missing the good stuff.
Dat banner image in the headline, though ... yeow! 😁
i was thinking earlier today that we in the nerdery computery space are very lucky to have so many wonderful trans people among us, just doing your thing. really lovely to see people really getting their gender on
