@nprofile…ml9f who supplies your peertube instance? Looks nice btw I'll subscribe on one of my accounts.

@nprofile…k0gr I don't get why the "x hours ago" part isn't just a higher contrast statement before the date and time. Like a human readable summary for a date when applicable. For example:
2 hours ago [DD MM YYYY, hh:mm]
Ignore the square formatting as mastodon doesn't support accent colors, but the idea would be to make the human readable one higher contrast, followed by a lower contrast text after that gives the exact date and time.
Relative time is good, but it should always compliment absolute.

@nprofile…z4fl Do developer interviews count? I'm a big fan of smuplations ( https://shmuplations.com/ ) which has a lot of translated retro game development interviews that never saw the light of day in English language.
Otherwise, will be bookmarking this for my own needs as well. I need more RSS to replace my dependence on reddit/lemmy.

Saw a special showing of Gunbuster at the Hollywood Theater tonight. Awesome community event and a great reminder to support your local small movie theater! #anime #portland #cinema #gunbuster #gainax #film

@nprofile…0kgd I definitely see that with StS. Helps me that it gives me the card-game fix without having to deal with real card game microtransaction hell.
I think there might be disable hunger / minotaur, though I'll give it more time before I do those. Perhaps I should try my hand at some online play, assuming people still play. 🤷

Relatively benign question about how people feel about multiple accounts on the fediverse:
Is it worth making a pixelfed account when you already have a mastodon account or visa-versa? It feels odd to make both as it feels like you should just pick one based on interface preference, but is there any argument for managing both or any tools that make managing both simpler? (Such as auto-boosting) #pixelfed #mastodon #fediverse

Anyone got any renders of characters in dioramas to share with me? I'm trying to decide whether I want to add "flavour" environment assets around a character or whether to do a plane+studio-lighting approach for my next render and want to know if anyone has any examples of characters in mini dioramas to share. #b3d #sculpt #dioramas #art

@nprofile…z4fl I'm sure you've been asked this before but can't find it looking through your profile. What software do you use for project management and tracking asset pipeline state?
For personal projects I've tried classic spread sheets (like google sheets) but I'm always a bit underwhelmed with that way of working.

Using discord is an exercise in patience sometimes, I swear.
You hear a "bloop" notification, tab over to look it and see a wall of servers with notifications and no way to just get a list of the latest messages that may have triggered the sound. It's unreal, how the hell do people think this is the best chat client again? #discord #gaming #yellingatclouds

You also don't need to try to justify a feature using some metric like market demand nor will you get pushback around the idea that an idea is too niche. Anything that helps *you*, *you* can add yourself. And if others find it useful -- then, great -- go ahead an collaborate if you wish.

2024-05-21 22:43:31 GMT

If you ever wonder why people like open source #software:
- Think of a feature you'd like to see in your favorite closed source application (let's say Discord, as I did recently)
- Look into if you can submit feedback or suggestions to whichever company makes said software. You'll only have this option if you're lucky, frankly.
- Push a feature into the void and pray to the gods that someone both sees it and understands the value.
Consider that, with #foss, you can just test it out yourself.

Capcom's idea to prevent mods by introducing drm to even old titles is crazy. It feels like Capcom saw that one tournament where the commentators accidentally left their "nude" mod on and they freaked out to an unprecedented level.
If it was just anti-cheat bans in MonHun, that would make sense. But removing modability from RE4 (original) and preventing users from using the HD mod when it is already inferior to playing the modern remake? ...Like, what? #capcom #gaming #gamedev

Obviously, if you're here, this doesn't affect you directly. But I want to let people know that if they think I un-followed them on other platforms, it's actually as simple as me deleting the account. :)

2023-09-01 21:58:32 GMT

So I've decided that by next Friday I will completely delete my Twitter (X 🤣 ) account. This is due to the sudden (but we all saw it coming) decision to change the terms of service to allow AI training on all data posted on the platform. I choose to stay on platforms that give us data autonomy. #fediverse #socialmedia #meta

I do really miss "local only" posting from misskey and firefish networks. I could imagine this feature would also be really useful for businesses that wish to host their own internal social network (with ability to control which users can or can't post on the global network for instance.)

Otherwise, it has a lot of great features. Reactions, tastefully implemented markdown text, quote replies, media storage limits (which is important long term for server admins) and local-only posting (which could be useful for businesses hosting their own social media).
I just think that the federation status is a very important part of the federation concept -- it's already hard enough to explain to new users why they can't see x or y profile let alone when the federation status is a black bx

I do know that federation status is on the near-term roadmap, but it's important for people to know this before trying to jump on it full time imo.

2023-07-19 23:51:32 GMT

I would be willing to try #firefish (formerly #calckey) again at some point, but it was a deal breaker for me that the federation (or defederation, more like) status of servers are not publicly available.
For #ActivityPub to be understandable and for clients to trust server admins, these types of decisions should **always** be made public whenever they are made -- preferably with reasoning as well. Otherwise, users are left in the dark and won't understand why they can't see a profile / post.
