I had a dream of my locally regeional folklore creatures once, all speaking English. Realizing that they’re out of character made me so annoyed that I actually woke up.

Technology@lemmy.world•Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - CryptopolitanEnglish
3·1 month agoMany artists explicitly state no repost without their permission, requiring proper credits and such. It IS a dick move to AIgen-fed edit while directly interacting author’s post; that makes people using the AI feature violating author’s will knowingly.
In reality, people don’t read artists’ comment or bio, when “single button to AIgen and use the art as prompt” exists. It’s basically X greenlits anyone to do so against artists’ will, and fair use can argue the use of art but never force artists to stay on a platform. That’s what’s happening. They may have overstayed on a horrible platform blinded by clout they can get there but that is a different story.

Interesting Shares@lemmy.zip•[Article] Satellites reveal heat leaking from largest US cryptocurrency mining centerEnglish
6·2 months agoI reckon those heat signatures were used to pinpoint urban greenhouse for certain plants. Just saying, can people divert the heat for another use?
Their life expectancy is usually less than 2 years though. Does it worth for them to spend that long? We never know.
Don’t modern drawing tablets usualy have side buttons that ppl set frequently used functions? The gray bars at the side can be such but idk

Blender@lemmy.world•I wish to make high quality animation. The machine is more than 15 years old. What are the upgrades required for making such a machine suitable for making high quality animation and for working on
6·2 months agoBlender hardware requirement changes after 5.0 if your rig has components older than that you need to replace them. it’s not a hard requirement but otherwise troubleshooting issues get tough.
-
NVIDIA: GeForce 900 and newer, Quadro Tesla GPU architecture and newer, including RTX-based cards, with NVIDIA drivers.
-
AMD: GCN 4th gen and newer.
-
Intel: Kaby Lake architecture and newer. Always make sure to install the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer website
Other than that, having faster machine always helps but it really depends on what you’re after. Game-ready character motion? film(realistic or stylized)? motion graphic type of animation? If you want animation with somulation their codebase are not so up to date to incorporate gpu speedup (at least for cloth).

It’s all just about moderation. People can atribute their mistakes to holoscope so that they won’t dwell on it and move on, but to use it to deflect legitimate blame would be toxic.
I say this not because your mention sounds misogynistic but as if using societal acceptance as a bar to judge someone’s hobby or ritual (religious or non-religious sense, not limited to witchcraft stuff).
No one mentions F1 hybrid? Mass produced vegitables and fruits are often offspring of 2 distinct varieties, carefully selected to inherit desireble traits from both sides but no guarantee for 2nd generation.
Kind of soft-lock drm bcs people need to keep buying the specific seed if people want max yield. (I’ve read article gathering seeds from store brought tomato, growth werent great and the yields were unstable in both taste and quantity, but they managed to iterate 6 generations or so. The “traits” of F1 offsprings stabilize around that so you can keep growing your own variety).
Heirloom seeds don’t have this issue, but they likely have quirks or less immunity compared to F1.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+
2·2 months agoIANAL but again, the program is not program in general sense. The regular “program” part here is ttf format and protocol around there, but protection goes over ttf data as a whole. It may be able to argue if such new font display system is developed and used, practically no gamedev/publishing industries want to reinvent the wheel and built the ecosystem from scratch.
Also, the infringement criteria is not necessarily on process but also end results similarity and intention in Japanese law. When intention comes up in argument defendant often provide proof they did not have access to the alleged source or its end product.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+
22·2 months agoJapanese law doesn’t consider font itself or the style to be copyrighted, but font files are considered “program” (it is very broad in jurisdictional sense, roughly translates to “digital data that produce products through computational process”, and displaying letters on monitor is applicable) and thus fall under under copyright protection.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•The Fediverse and Content Creation: MonetizationEnglish
10·2 months agoArtists need exposure before monetization imho, which currently fedi lacks severely. So discoverability is what I suggest as priority to work on.
That said, algorithm free is the draw of fedi as well and I personally don’t want my feed filled with excessive ad or self promo spam. Getting the right middle ground will be tricky.
Had to delve into artist’s pixiv and learned that she’s not anthropomorphic End User License Agreement but Genshin Impact character named Eula. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Does ordinary skincare count too?
Even regular neutral water shifts to slightly acidic (5.6) as long as it has contact to air (CO2 dissolving). Would be interesting to know how long those store bought alkaline water becomes base or acidic.
From what I skimmed their manual no internet connection mentioned. So it won’t transmit your usage or tap your conversion, which is a plus.
Zojirushi’s core product is rice cooker/pressure cooker, this seems another variant with mixing(kneading) motor. Attatchable mixing blade and presets of holding temperature & bake temperature combo for cookies, different doughs (lean, butter rich one, pizza) etc. From what I read those presets are not tweakable so it’ll produce ok bread unless you want to customize for your own taste or start experimenting stuff.










I heard people using Bitchat. Yes it is from Jack Dorsey who admitted security risks there but lacking communication with iphone owners can be an issue for them.
