Vulkan Video 1.0 released with the Vulkan 1.3.238 spec update gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/vulkโ€ฆ #Vulkan #GameDev #Gaming
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

maybe this is a bit of a noob question, but does this also mean that hardware accelerated video becomes more common for browsers in Linux for example, or is that something completely different?

@garpu Afraid not, I have a merch store but never got around to doing another that works in the US, might do eventually

in my personal opinion I believe because it is a private company the fact that votes are happening at all is a bit of a privilege although on the other hand I think popularity contests masked as votes take no consideration for the stability of the platform and is likely sensitive to mob rule.

@Friendica Support Friendica currently comes with two themes: frio and vier with frio being the default.

The theme selection does not indicate that. What are others thinking? Would it make sense to add a default tag to frio so that fact is communicated to users?

github.com/friendica/friendicaโ€ฆ

in reply to Wilhelm

@Wilhelm If it was just me, I would do away with vier and the cumbersome theme system, but I know @Tobias is still a fervent vier user.
in reply to Hypolite Petovan

@Tobias Had you tried the new frio v1.0? What were your thoughts?

Clearly themes are a question of personal taste and arguing about them is very difficult. I really don't want to get into an opinion war about personal preferences as that will lead nowhere. But if tobias or other vier users could share, what aspects they prefer about vier over frio, maybe there is something to learn / takeaway / improve about frio.

I want to also add 2 cents about UI changes which affect us all and how many (me included) perceive them: e.g. it's so funny with the changes in macOS. When they first hit you, they sometimes look ridiculous. And next it's fascinating how quickly I get used to altered UI and my brain accepts the change as nice and normal after 14 days of usage and getting used to.

Serious question: Do you guys think it's worth it making a tumblr nowadays?

What else am I going to use to share my work? Facebook? Hell naw. Insta? Twitter? Deviantart?
I feel like other than Tumblr and Pinterest there's not much of a choice.

in reply to Nando's Brain

TikTok absolutely would be overbearing for artists, it's for "content creators" and it's audience is largely those who consume said content. To try to get attention you'd have to be constantly doing things that aren't art.

@angelar I don't even consider tik tok a possibility for visual artists at least.

Oil Set to Become as Obsolete as Landlines, Experts Warn
But โ€œif Canada and other wealthy countries transition our energy systems urgently and deliver money for vulnerable countries to do the same, we can keep the 1.5ยฐC goal alive,โ€ Segal says.
in reply to Muse

I would agree with you @Karl Auerbach. Perhaps not the best analogy. Interesting article, though!
in reply to Muse

Things that are no longer mainstream rarely disappear completely - not only is there still a valid role for landlines, but there will no doubt still be a role for a small amount of oil in certain applications where there is really no good alternative. But as the demand and profit fall rather than rise, the appeal to investors will certainly decline precipitously.

I Made That Bitch Famous

In Donald Trumpโ€™s 2011 book Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, the president-to-be made an astonishing claim: Lady Gaga likely owed her international fame to none other thanโ€ฆDonald Trump. โ€œShe became a big star and maybe she became a star because I put her on the Miss Universe pageant,โ€ he wrote. โ€œItโ€™s very possible, who knows what would have happened without it, because she caused a sensation.โ€

The problem goes beyond Trump, of course. Women, especially women of color, are routinely denied credit for their ideas, creativity, genius, and success (not to mention theyโ€™re paid less than men for full-time work). So, in honor of Womenโ€™s History Month, Iโ€™ve put together this woefully incomplete timeline of the lowlights:

Splashdown!

After 12 days and 14 hours in space, the #Apollo17 astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at 2:25 pm EST #OTD in 1972. It was the longest of all the Apollo missions with the most samples retrieved and photos taken. #Apollo50th

When #Apollo17 splashed down in the Pacific, a recovery team was waiting on the USS Ticonderoga just 6.4 km (4 mi) away to pick up the astronauts and the lunar samples inside the CM.
