The 2024 animated movie Flow was done entirely in Blender. It is an incredible movie, highly recommend.

Blender was also used a bit in Everything Everywhere All At Once
And Into the Spiderverse for some stuff
Running FOSS on closed source systems. Classic.
Running Linux on closed source hardware. Classic.
I bet you aren't even using your own open RISC-V based SBC, with fully open-source peripherals. Is your computer monitor even running an open-source firmware or are you just a FOSS poser?
Using computers with closed source biology. Classic.
I bet you haven't even engineered your own DNA-II, fully-sequenced, libre-licensed microbiome with open source biochemical pathways. Are your eyes even running an open-source neural firmware, or are you just a FOSS poser?
Using biology on closed source chemistry. Classic. I bet you didn't even roll your own proton mass or bother configuring your own valence shells. Are you even running your own coulomb law policies, or are you just a FOSS poser?
I don't have a witty reply, but these kinds of threads were the best part of reddit. So glad to have shitposters like you all here on Lemmy.
Using computers with closed source biology. Classic.
Hey now, biology is pretty definitively open source. Every generation produces small patches of varying quality (mutations) and for most organisms the source is freely distributed to create new builds (reproduction). I mean if no one is downloading your genetic repo that's largely a you problem (natural selection) not a biology problem.

It'a a start! Makes the switch much easier.
No. You either go full Stallman and inject Gentoo directly into your aorta, or you might as well be deep throating Satya Nutella while bouncing on Tim Apple's lap. Filthy casual.
Noob, I snort pure Colombian and run LFS directly in my brain using the power of cryptic dreams and messages handed down to me directly by Lord RMS
So you're saying your prefrontal cortex doesn't even have a Holy C✝ compiler? Terry looks down on you in shame.

Agreed, OSS purity is silly. I am running an open source client (Thunder) to this open source service on my Pixel 9 running GraphineOS, the low level firmware is still absolutely proprietary.
Actually, to be clear, I don't think FOSS purity is bad. I just mean that denigrating what others are doing because they're using something non-free while they're making steps in the right direction is dumb and counterproductive.
To my mind, FOSS is the only way forward for a healthy, functioning society, and the fact that so much of our digital landscape is being gradually replaced with it is to me evidence of that. I think the end goal should always be pure FOSS, but that doesn't (necessarily) mean immediately jumping to all FOSS; it just means taking steps to cut out proprietary software wherever you reasonably can.
Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it's registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don't make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.
- You don't need an uninstaller if deleting the folder suffices
- You don't want some software to update.

Some people prefer it.
I maintain a small piece of Windows software and originally just provided an installer, but I received enough requests for it that now when I publish releases I provide both an installer and a zipped portable build.

Assuming you are on Windows, the proper install method is to run
winget install -e --id BlenderFoundation.Blender

Kind of a moot point since most windows programs don't have a centralized hub for updates either, even when "properly installed" in program files.

Bravo. Truly an exceptional meme.
Oh it's free so it lacks features
Exactly! And every proprietary software is by definition perfect cause it is subject to the forces of the open market. Subway eat fresh and freeze, scumbag!

I just got blender after having last looked at it ten years ago. It looks so much better! I had an easy time finding stuff. If you tried it in the past and are afraid of how ugly it was it is worth another shot. Also look up the doughnut tutorial.
Upvoted for the "The Founder" reference.
I'd like to make it like that for my projects, but I don't use windows so I can't do well with packaging them. And sometimes when I try it runs in the computer, but then doesn't run in other computers because of missing dlls or some other things.
Anyone have good idea how to make it easy. Using windows VM is such a hassle to install and such just for tiny programs I make.
Make them in a portable language. Something like Java for example. Or you can write in rust and compile for each target.
It's in rust. Problem is the gtk part, it has to be installed in the system, which makes it run there. But how do I distribute the program without having everyone install gtk on their computer. In Linux it's just a dependency so it's not a problem, for windows I can't seem to make it work.
Edit: also, I need gtk because people around me who uses windows aren't going to use CLI program at all.
