@glyph My favorite writer just did that. I was shocked, and for once did not bring the link here.

@glyph do though: Add procedural art and pictures! Those funny generated artworks deserve the title genart much more than the heartless mass trash AI Art.

@glyph Even the most scrubbed human art had more soul than AI art.

@vidister the conversations below remind me that someone did make an ffmpegFS module. https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs read-only FS in tandem with ffmoeg to dynamically transcode media.

@vidister btrfs actually does sound better than ext4

@vidister@chaos.social monsieur @skobkin@lor.sh (with a stress on the "i") might enjoy this tread as much as I did

@Gargron My personal experience is that the "cheap" consumer film stocks (Colorplus, Gold, Max, X-TRA, Superia, etc.) look really lovely exposed a stop over, and a lot less so a stop under.

And given how many of these films were loaded into cheap/disposable lenses with slow lenses, it's little wonder that they've developed a reputation for being muddy and low-quality.

They just need a chance and a bit more light to shine!

@Gargron Actually digging out an old camera today for kicks- have 10 year expired film. I’m clueless about it all.
From what I’ve gathered, I should tell the camera that the iso is lower than what’s on the box ? So if that is says 400 I should tell the camera it’s 200? Is that how you go about making sure it’s over-exposed? Thanks!

@Gargron I found Fujifilm had the best blues. Landscapes always popped.

@Gargron i still have to not show menubar in firefox to access my emoji eas😐 ly

@Gargron excited for this!!!!

@Gargron PLEASE, as an admin, let us set post-length limits in the admin settings. Every single update overwrites the manual override and the 500-char limit is arbitrary.

@Gargron When will these be available to purchase‽

@Gargron have you ever been to a TI?

@Gargron I’m just looking for some good games. There’s some great story lines no matter who wins.

@Gargron haven't played DotA2 since at least 2019 or so... every year it gets harder and harder to follow even the basics at TI. They just keep adding new stuff. Does the map really need 4 interactive building types and two Rochan pits?

(+ costumes and spell effects that make even the old Heroes and spells so much harder to read)

A pastor is trying to get a bunch of Flat Earthers to come to Antarctica to see the 24-hour sun to prove the Earth isn't flat.

@EC_NGI @thibaultmol

Are you considering whether licences could be added / tagged to content to make it clear content can be used? - Is that relevant?

@MastodonEngineering @EC_NGI Where do I sign up to become notified once there is a spec regarding ascension from Relay to Provider?

@MastodonEngineering @EC_NGI so cool! And will the moderation tools get some work too, to help people manage their communities?

@tewha can't blame him. Very slidey. Very good chasing potential

@Gargron so, I tried adding this metadata to my website when I first heard about it, and it didn't work, but I didn't realize that I needed approval. I just added my blog to that list and saved my profile and I still don't see it. How do I debug this?

@Gargron hi, I added my website to the list (and clicked on Save button) but if I visit my profile and click on toots where I've linked something from my blog I don't see anything 🤔

@Gargron ,

@Gargron If you're ever in Pennsylvania you can stop by and use mine. :) Also, if you ever need a print, you can send me a negative!

@Gargron As my eyes move to look at the picture, the framing makes me feel like I am entering in to a room. I really like this.

The sun is peeking in!

What a crazy and impressive landscape though. It’s really its own thing.

@kevzag ngl the first few seconds I thought this was a render lol

In case anyone is curious about life on South Pole, here's a blog of another guy who spent more than a year there: brr.fyi

@kyleve The ticket I'm working on now basically says to "form the concept for a plan", not to do the actual work.

And I've got one. But I don't know for sure that it'll do what's needed. So I'm writing the code anyway to try it out (it's a performance thing, you almost never do know until you try it).

@kyleve When the homework was due yesterday:

@kyleve Aye THIS (raises hand)

@Gargron
"Dear Eugen,

We, as part of the Mastodon community, are writing to address a concerning issue that has recently impacted one of our valued members. Unfortunately, a user has been scraping and sharing our posts without permission on their own channel, compromising our privacy. When one of our friends brought this to our attention, their account was unfairly suspended due to a miscommunication stemming from a typographical error (the similarity between "kass" and a sensitive term).

@Gargron
We believe it is essential to address this matter and work together to maintain a respectful and inclusive community."

@Gargron
Hey man , R u there?

@paul shutting down Congress would too

@paul The only problem with thinking like this is you also shut down all the people trying to make a net positive impact on society. Too bad really, but I guess you'll reap what you sow.

Obviously the hype is much more important than the environment.
