  • I'm disappointed that my fascination for sword staves came from his video, and he turned out to be a bigoted pro AI chud that is jealous of his own brother because his brother is reaping the hard work he put up as an artist

  • Forgot to add that I don't want to deal with building a community 😅

    Yeah I'm part of the chicken and egg problem we have here but that's just super hard work for me

  • Highly likely

  • big chungus is real

  • It's community as weird and niche like that that's hard to find or start and maintain on the threadiverse¹ that I miss from reddit.

    ¹[Lemmy + piefed + mbin fediverse network]

  • An amazing TIL. Thanks!

  • This is good. I want them to succeed with this. This way it could tell Elecom to open-source their mouse firmware and that could make their trackballs more accessible. Come on, Elecom, I need an improved Deft Pro, with open-source firmware!

  • tbf as a kid I sometimes chew on aluminium foil wrapper of candies (back when they wrap some candies in aluminium) to extract the last dregs of candy. so I kind of can empathize lol

  • Lovely site. Easy to follow, but I might be biased lol

    I'll be sharing this with others in my groups

  • Don't have to install anything. Some instance make it the default though, but I think most front end like Voyager or Alexandrite (or tesseract since we are discussing it) you can visit their web page and point your home instance to use their UI.

    Edit; I'm copying a comment someone else made here https://piefed.zip/comment/6322459 since it's pretty consise than what I explained 😅

    It's a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.

    Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn't the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.

    That's how stupid it was.

  • It kind of is, considering it's still an app of sorts, but using the web browser. I just keep using "front end" because that's what others call it. I see it like an app. but yeah, it's to change the UI if you don't like the default lemmy UI.

  • Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. I think.

  • bottom face/hands,

    I usually don't like to play the "English as second language" card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?

  • It's a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.

  • I don't really go on a blocking spree much. How would a front end's block list implementation be different than the instance's choice of software's block list implementation?

    I hardly browse All and Local. I am on a piefed based instance, and leave "Enable Automatic Follow of Feed Communities." and "Enable Automatic Leave of Feed Communities." on. So kind of my subscribed feed is semi automatic as long as I follow a broad topic.

  • When the cybertruck was first announced, I actually appreciated how different it looked

    Yeah, same here. I usually like weird looking forms for ordinary objects. The cybertruck counts.

    Even disregarding the emotional association to Musk, which is nigh impossible, the engineering of the car makes it suck to hell, because that's all Musk's decision he forced.

  • It seems to be rolling out region by region I reckon. I'm in the south east Asia and I don't get asked to log in yet.

  • I imagine authors will go to great lengths to prove their works to be authentically human

    artists (the drawing kind) have been posting timelapse of them drawing art for quite some time. It has since increased when AI sloperators flooded the field. But now I've heard some aren't even going to post them anymore, since the sloperators are training on those to make fake timelapse.

  • people are willing/able to be open and empathetic

    personally, I've been bitten too many times being open to random people and getting vitriol back. Well that may be because at the height of my online activities were in reddit, just at the right moment when it started gaining mass traction and getting all sorts of assholes.

    being here in lemmy/piefed (can we settle on calling it threadiverse yet?) is of course a nice breath of fresh air.
