So am I understanding you correctly? When I develop open-source software and put it on GitHub, the license, which GitHub offers you to set, is actually irrelevant because since the code is on a public website, it’s somehow automatically public domain?

I actually don’t know since I ran it before the API changes. It may be limited now that API usage is limited, depending on how it works.

Be sure to edit them before deletion in case it gets restored. There’s been reports of that happening.

I started drawing seriously when I was 14. Looking at my old artwork, I didn’t start improving fast until I was around 19 or 20. Not to say I didn’t improve at all during those five to six years but the pace did get faster once I had “learned to learn” so to say. That is to say it can take a lot of patience to get to a point where you actually start seeing improvement fast enough to stay motivated. But it is 100% worth it because at the end you have a lot of things you have created with your own two hands.

And regarding the point on physical limitations, I can’t blame anyone in a situation like that for using AI if they have no other chance for realising their imaginations. For others, it is completely possible and not reserved for people who have some mythical innate talent. Just grab a pen or a brush and enjoy the process of honing a fine skill regardless of the end result. ❤️

This whole AI craze has just shown me that people are losing faith in their own abilities and their ability to learn things. I’ve heard so many who use AI to generate “artwork” argue that they tried to do art “for years” without improving, and hence have come to conclusion that creativity is a talent that only some have, instead of a skill you can learn and hone. Just because they didn’t see results as fast as they’d have liked.

So many furries are techies so not really surprised.

Musk does not fuck

There’s a sentence I did not expect to read today, but kinda did expect to read someday.

Godot was already mentioned. Someone on Mastodon brought up the Bevy Engine as well.

Which is why I am happy to have email aliases. Alias gets leaked? No problem. I’ll just delete that one and make a new one for that service. Scammers and spammers have a useless email address and I still have my clean inbox.

Oh, I played it before it had a story mode or anything like that. :D I really should try it again.

Oh gosh, I always had such bad luck with this game. :D Never finding any useful loot and then getting killed by wildlife.

I personally find that because of the sheer amount of content, these games have great replayability. Every time I start Skyrim, even vanilla Skyrim, from the beginning, I will eventually find something I haven’t seen before either because I chose a different style of play or by sheer chance.

I’m playing Elden Ring with my bf using the seamless co-op mod and though he’s a veteran who’s put countless hours into the game, we keep stumbling upon places and content he hasn’t seen previously.

Apparently it may have been the Titanic itself shifting.

And if Element isn’t to your tastes (like it wasn’t for me), there are other clients to choose from. I use Nheko on PC and FluffyChat on my phone.

Which client? There’s a lot more than Element, including clients like Nheko and Cinny.

It’s called the sunk cost fallacy. “I can’t possibly quit because I’ve put so much time/money/effort into this.”

His ascension to godhood has begun. Perfectly balanced, of course.
