But actually, I feel like some engine or something is missing, and there are also not really wings, so it feels a bit off. Maybe a rotatable engine like from a vertical take off plane, or some downwards facing boosters like when a rocket lands could look nice.

Hi,
Is it possible to follow YT creators and be alerted to new videos by subbing to their RSS feed in #Friendica ?
It would be amazing to be alerted right from my timeline!

God I love these logs! It makes me want to apply to work for the Blender foundation.
You guys are looking for artists at the moment? X)
@LPS
... likely to happen more as time goes on ...
Sad, but true.
... a project that fully embraces IPFS or something similar ...
I wasn't aware of IPFS; I'll have to look into it.
Share their stuff, leave a review, or even just hit like.
Seriously, we love that shit, it's like pet treats.

It's strange to think that there is going to be any sort of rough consensus in the fediverse about federating or not federating with any particular instance large or small.
We've put a ton of effort into making sure the Web doesn't fragment at the protocol/interop level, but the most important part of the entire Fediverse exercise is how that interop level empowers people and communities to make their own choices.
I think that a Balkanized fedi is the best, healthiest possible outcome.

Totally agree, that's how the real world works. Representation at the local level, human scale...think "Monkey Sphere"

'Latin America is taking on a pioneering role in this. In Latin America, scientific outputs are considered a public good. Free-to-publish and free-to-read cooperative publishing is supported by non-commercial and publicly funded infrastructure. Ninety-five per cent of Latin American journals are diamond open access: community-driven and collaborative platforms with no article processing charges. Their example shows us that research is a more global and diverse enterprise than is typically acknowledged. By including diverse voices, they contribute substantially to the academic landscape and the accessibility and dissemination of research3. Unfortunately, these journals tend to be excluded by indexing systems, which causes science published outside of the Global North to not receive the attention that it deserves.'

Reddit perma-banning account promoting Lemmy has Streisand effect

reshared this
Hilarious that a #HackerNews top voted comment on a post wrt #Reddit censoring mentions of #Lemmy effectively argues that the latter is "too geeky and hard to use" and that the former two won't be displaced because they're well known and easy to approach.
These people have ZERO self awareness. Never mind understanding about the legacy of their forums.

the same will happen with kbin, even tho its interface is hyper similar to reddit. pretty sure that's gonna be another case of "too geeky, unusable, unstable, useless, sh!tty reddit ripoff and bad".
the "useless", as one guy said (not on here) when i mentioned lemmy: "Another sh*tty reddit ripoff? Useless"

I just chuckled because the longer they stay away, the better the fediverse will be (for me).

This is how to treat Billionaires:
"Swiss billionaire jailed over asbestos-related deaths in Italian town
Stephan Schmidheiny found guilty of causing deaths of 392 people in Casale Monferrato in Piedmont"
12 years in jail for a 73-year-old, Italy isn't messing around

CURATOR - Animated Short Film
A short film I made over the course of a couple of months. It’s the first time I’ve attempted something of this size and learned a lot in the process. The texturing is all shader to RGB stuff in eevee along with freestyle for the outlines.Blender Artists Community

Ten years ago, Edward Snowden revealed details about US mass surveillance, including the role of the UK's GCHQ in gathering comms data globally.
Our Exec Director @jim marks the anniversary of the revelations: what they told us then and where we are now.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Just 20 years ago a similar hurricane by the name of Katrina rocked the nation and was part of the 24 he news cycle for months. Katrina was (and rightfully so) a huge deal in America, and recognized as a mega traumatizing event.
It’s amazing to me how jaded the American public and media have become in that time, to where this disaster hardly even makes the news and is forgotten before it’s even joever.
I’m honestly not quite sure what to think of it. Have we become so calloused to the idea of climate change that this isn’t newsworthy? Is this more reflective of the corporate capture of media, and insurers not wanting to pay out for destroyed homes and lives? Or is this just secondary to the overriding effort to further a new war in the Middle East?
