(It wouldn't have taken me this long if I wasn't sick, and if I didn't try to do it with Unity at first. I'll blame my throat ache for the bad decision...)

Dithering Tests

So I was watching a video by @standupmaths.bsky.social the other day, and in a comment reply I suggested a certain choice of values for a 3x3 dithering kernel. I also said I would implement it to see the result. I have no idea how to let the YT commenters know, though.

Avengers: Doomsday trailer (Nando's Cut) YouTube video by The Nando Cut

i've been pretty down on the Avengers: Doomsday promo so far, but @nandovmovies.bsky.social did a great job assembling a proper Doomsday trailer from existing footage which is pretty great. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp-X...

Oh no it's not difficult. I have just had waaay more issues upgrading Linux than Windows, to the point every time I do a release upgrade I wonder if it will still work at all after. Granted this hasn't happened anywhere near as often in the past 5 years, but trauma.

Linux, Windows or Mac?
With Linux, it's a wonder if it still boots after the update,
with Windows, it's a wonder if it didn't mess up your audio settings after update,
with Mac, there's no wonder, it will most likely work, but it will most likely make your device one step closer to be unusably slow.

Part of it maybe, but also the ability for the server to customize the client depending on the minigame / game style.

I have been really uninterested about it. I just don't like the art style at all. Everything about the game I have seen just left me shrugging.

I could get *so much done* if having time meant having the energy I feel I would have if I had time!

Why people are worried about Minecraft next year. YouTube video by Phoenix SC

The comments section of this Phoenixsc video is hilarious doom mongering. youtu.be/K6qkFYZuRYs?... how about a small thread from someone who was there at the beginning.

Imagine that you were an unauthorized user. The answer to "Is that you, or an authorized user?" is still YES.

They only have so much time and money to spend with the actors and crew. Sometimes the setup to make a scene happen would be too complicated and the options are vfx or cut the scene out.

The AI isn't there for the user, it's there for the shareholders and investors, who think they need results from their money

...in their desktop even if they don't even pretend to be a shortcut. Great work there.

It is already bad enough that Microsoft insists on hiding file extensions, making it very easy for malware to present itself as an image or document because there's no visual difference between them.

@mozilla.org Firefox now replaces the shortcut with a random EXE file in your desktop. They claim this is so that if you happen to acquire the file by some means it will ask you to install firefox for you. This is terrible. Mozilla is now training people to trust random files that appear in...

The little nicks all over them show just how much it has been used, and despite that they look to be in amazing state.

It makes sense, in a twisted way. Most nimals are not contradicting their beliefs so they deserve saving, but some people do. So they end up with this weird list of priorities: People like them (beliefs and appearance) > animals > people not like them (beliefs) > people not like them (appearance)

Paraphrasing the "Cult of Done Manifesto": If you succeed at pretending that you know what you are doing, it's indistinguishable from actually knowing what you are doing.

a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies . Alt: Gif clipped from a movie, where a man in military uniform says "are we the baddies?".

"Am I a fascist?" gives me "Are we the baddies?" vibes.

However, the actors still produce CO2 regardless of them showing up in a movie, so you can't attribute those emissions to acting itself. Meaning the real footprint of someone **acting** is much much closer to zero.
