Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it’ll taste 10x better.

Whew, I was getting worried we were one day into 2024 and nobody said this yet.

It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

I know reading is hard but you realize this quote was reason #5 of the many reasons listed… I’m not going to copy-paste the article, it’s all relevant info.

Seems like a cool project, but with such weak specs what can one actually do with this?

Dall-E 3 is the easiest to use and usually understand prompts the best. You can use it for free via Bing Image Editor.

People probably said the same thing when Apple dropped PowerPC for x86, there’s going to be an awkward transition period but when it becomes a standard you’ll feel differently.

Who said anything about Linux becoming Windows?

Dunno, but I suppose you can use piped: https://piped.video/watch?v=98kFh3JpIXk

I’d rather not have bots posting outside bot communities. It’s annoying seeing them here.

While I don’t have the answers I did attempt to write a book for fun many years ago. It was quite an eye opening experience, because it turns out writing a book is hard, and very time consuming. I was only about 20 pages in before I gave up the idea.

That said, you don’t have to actually write a book. Writing creative essays, short stories, and even articles can be very rewarding without needing any long-term commitments. I’d give those a shot before jumping into something as big as making a real book. I still enjoy writing and I’m sure you will too, but you need a ton of commitment to make a book.

The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:

Why’s it called Lemmy?

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game.
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.

I was coming to comment this. I’ve used a lot of free video editing software over the years and most of them are ass. The ones that aren’t usually have a catch like watermarking your output. Davinci resolve came out of nowhere for me and blew me away, it’s everything you could want in a video editing program but free!

You should give it a shot, it’s pretty fun and West of Loathing isn’t that long to finish.

There’s a Github issue specifically for this

West of Loathing and its sequel Shadows of Loathing have a bland grayscale artstyle on the outside but they’re absolutely hilarious RPGs that have a lot of heart to them.

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

Oh come on, the art style is charming!

The little chain icon under the comment should send you there and show you that comment’s context.

Last I checked web scraping was pretty lawful

Could you mention what apps you needed to run?

I don’t remember which they were exactly but some Adobe products were some of them. Specifically Illustrator.

Also, fractional scaling has been improved a lot in Gnome and KDE, afaik.

I hope so. I’ve last been on Linux like ~2 years ago and I’ve heard some good changes.
