Reminder, if you'd like to support Blender financially you can at: https://fund.blender.org/ I've been getting into Blender for the last few months. Previously i was used to paying ZBrush, Modo and etc 500+ dollars for…
I've been using it to automate behavior of an asset pipeline for a game. Basic stuff, like taking many assets and putting them in the right location, combining several things, rendering, on demand (not at runtime, but…
> Early in the year I made the switch from Modo (by The Foundary) to Blender 3.x Hah, that's me. Except i was out of CG for ~7 years or w/e. I used Modo extensively from 1.0 to .. i want to say 5.0 or something. Tons of…
Yea, this is kinda why i don't understand a lot of these off the shelf CRDT solutions. Like CRDTs for JSON. I'm still trying to learn CRDTs; but early on in my learning process i had the thought that CRDTs don't have…
When can we run something like ChatGPT locally i wonder? Ie like StableDiffusion. I'm kinda dying for that, honestly. I can't even imagine all the neat applications i'd make of ChatGPT if it was purely local.. but it…

Couldn't agree more. I love Nix (well, i have nits with the lang/UX), but Flakes is essential imo. Using Nix without Flakes is going through 99% of the trouble for concrete, reproducible builds but then dropping the…
> Well it is good thing for you all major platforms have the ablity to block, mute, or otherwise curate your experience, including sharing "block lists" and other innovations so your personal experience is what you make…
Agreed, but that's kinda the point in my eyes. Maybe a global forum with no moderation everyone can agree with is a bad thing? Ie maybe it makes everyone unhappy? Everyone was on Facebook too. We're not all looking for…
/shrug, depends on how people view the problem. Smaller communities can be more focused and managed. Trying to get everyone in one place agreeing on one set of rules sounds impossible. At least federation has the…
Yea.. how does he expect this to be interpreted? Their stance hasn't changed.. cool, except before Twitter said some people posted hateful content, and banned them. Now they unbanned them, so what is the non-change?…
I'm starting to question how much he has ever. Has something changed with him? Or has he always been like this? If it's always been this rash, hasty and questionable then i can only imagine the real heroes are the…
> then why would you be concerned who mastodon.art is federated with? wouldn’t you just join there and enjoy the specific community… Because the community is closed, currently lol. > these seem to entirely contradict…
Eh, i disagree. If i have the option to join a niche community or be external to it - i feel you just made an argument against federation. I should join the community, so that i'm not arbitrarily blocked for reasons out…
> unless they or their admin has blocked you or your instance. Just like any federated network. That's kinda the part i'm questioning though. You as a user have to look at how each server handles federation to know what…
Oh no worries, though i'm happy to better understand your thoughts on this subject. I don't think you generalized me either, we're still exchanging information/facts in this discussion. Apologies if i came off harsh. I…
Really good point. You could estimate if a [deleted] comment might be from [account X], but you'd only have that one comment to compare. The rest might be from other accounts. So yea, you'd probably end up with a pile…
If you reply to people on something like .art, would they see your post? I need to read the spec about how federation works, as i have no clue haha. Which might be a significant barrier. Non-tech users might have no…
Not sure what that has to do with my use case. I'm not interested in what Joey from school did, you are correct. That's why i'm not on Facebook. If Joey started creating Art in the category i'm interested in then i…
Not sure i follow. I said i didn't need one because, well, i don't believe i do. Good evidence of this is that i have not, and do not currently, have one. Nor have i ever used Twitter, Facebook or any social platform…
Because Bezos wasn't even remotely as attention seeking as Musk is. You're asking why someone seeking attention got attention. Which.. shouldn't really be surprising, should it?
How does federation propagation happen? Ie if i start my own server, how quickly could someone on, say, mastodon.art see my posts? Would they even see them at all? I use them as an example, because i know they're fairly…
I don't "need" one, but i appreciate their ability for community. Ie i'm in the mood for a semi-niche Computer Graphics community. There's something about Microblogging that i find.. interesting. Something like a Forum,…
