Hope to run into some of them, some day. Has he gotten around to it yet?

Only on Reddit for a couple communities. But, Lemmy kind of became my main Social site overall. Replaced all of them for me.

Get enough personal funding for my parents to be taken care of.

Then build indie games for the rest of my life. Making single person RPGs. Where the stories can fill the void of my need to write novels. And the themes being a culmination of all the games I have played that had a role in guiding some sense of morality or drama. Such as the last mission on Halo Reach or the Mass Effect Trilogy, or Outer Wilds etc.

I’d want to compose, do the artwork, and the development for this, an all-out love letter to this form of storytelling. Spending years fine tuning every single detail as if it’s an elaborate sculpture. Details so small the crescendos of the OST, exactly match animations and playable cutscenes. All until, I feel I have reached a personal magnum opus, of the games released thus far.

And then say good bye. Moving on and living a simple life.

Ah yes! I almost do that already. With RSS as well. So you can combine communities and RSS Feeds, not mastodon users yet though. It's kind of fun standardizing all the different ActivityPub implementations into a single data model. Mastodon timelines or users are essentially whole communities.

To be honest, building a web-version of that pipeline as a NPM package might be helpful for others, piping in all the different types of fediverse content into a single stream.

I've had an idea, that I could easily pivot to this and become a FOSS solution. But, I wonder if it actually solves a problem. Essentially, I wanted my lemmy instance to allow sign-ups. But, the posts and channels were auto-generated. So when you log into the app or sign-up it creates a community in the instance along with it. (loom.nyc/c/pexavc) and then all the posts are automatically generated from the posts you save anywhere in the fediverse. (The app supports lemmy and mastodon for now). But, this would also allow all your bookmarks to essentially "federate".

Edit: Tbh, it sounds like a more "silent" cross-posting

Had a similar experience. Definitely agreed.

[–] pexavc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah. I have found the simple act of "listening" goes so far. I had a manager whom always remembered the smallest things. Bring them up in team meetings months later. It was very motivating.

Edit: and obligatory, F*ck Cancer

 

In your experience/career, what were some things that you have taken note of from various managers/leaders, that made you feel comfortable working there and providing solutions for the organization as a whole?

Removed the other comment.

Because I think I get the point now. I actually never heard of these services before. And didn’t realize people liked to share their “saves/bookmarks”. Or have people actively follow what they are bookmarking.

It’s super interesting.

 

When questioning your intentions as arrogant, entitled, immature vs confident, moral right, correctness. Or even questioning if the Duning Kruger effect is at play.

What process do you incorporate to back-up your self-judgement or in identifying your decisions/choices are in-fact "correct" in online discussions and/or personal life with friends/family.

How do you remove "self-doubt"?

I feel it's a good idea for those building native clients for Lemmy implement projects like these to run offline inferences on feed content for the time-being. To cover content that are not marked NSFW and should be.

What does everyone think, about enforcing further censorship, especially in open-source clients, on the client side as long as it pertains to this type of content?

Edit:

There's also this, but it takes a bit more effort to implement properly. And provides a hash that can be used for reporting needs. https://github.com/AsuharietYgvar/AppleNeuralHash2ONNX .

I'd like to share the TestFlight in this community with a possible listing on other resources for Lemmy federated clients that are being actively supported.

Testflight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/owwIagmV

Feel free to use the https://lemmy.world/c/loom community to post concerns, suggestions, bugs, and I will tend to them promptly!

macOS clients are always released via Github as notarized archives. Or, you could build it locally on your own.

Known Issues:

  • Scrolling stutter
  • Registration is not functional
  • macOS (intel) optimizations
    • I do not have an M-chip, so may be missing more macOS related bugs that need to be fixed

List of some major features are below:

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/3804045

v1.1.0b is in Review. Will be available by end of day.

1.0.4b was skipped. Since lots of changes were made in Granite, decided to mark v1.1.0 to denote.

Loom: https://github.com/neatia/Loom

LemmyKit: https://github.com/pexavc/LemmyKit

Granite: https://github.com/pexavc/Granite

Looking for a good README editor. With maybe git functionality, but not necessary

  • Like adding shields/badges/assets within automatically

  • managing a directory like structure by generating new MD files in a directory like folder structure.

Essentially an IDE like environment just for markdown file management and a WYSIWYG editing experience

I like viewing/creating/editing abstract shaders, made a macOS client to help with this flow of mine. Simply type in the logic into the main function or add additional functions above to create the desired output with the fixed global variables provided.

Hope others find it useful as well!

I have yet to test this on M-Series Macs, as I still use Intel. Will still be able to provide fixes once I can source potential bugs (but most likely there shouldn't be any special to M~)

 

Just a random thought I had. But, around 2010 I really enjoyed making how-to guides (you know the ones using hypercam to screen record, techno background songs, and using notepad to talk out steps). For some reason starting a lemmy instance and the whole process of customizing it, creating content, being on other lemmy instances, without any strategy or care of sorts reminds me of those days. And it's just quite nice to relive that again.

 

Over the years I feel brainwashed by the thoughts of others with no willpower to affirm my own beliefs.

Simply, to me blockchain/crypto is this idea of P2P communication where the intermediate technology that “handshakes” our connection isn’t essentially governed by a centralized entity. But, “handshaking” in this world costs and gas is often times used as the processing/energy to enact this exchange.

Now, for what can be exchanged, it can be quantities of an item. Or information stored within an item. Kind of like Pass by value vs. Pass by reference, in a weird way? Or cryptocurrencies vs. smart contracts?

Now, my own belief is, comparing this system with torrenting, seeding and other technologies that existed long ago and still today. What makes “blockchain/crypto” so valuable that cannot be solved with the technology invented prior to it. To me, it seems like there is extra charge and latency and thus just more negative values overall, when the final overall goal should be this idea of exchanging information without a middle man. We still need ISPs, we still need physical wires to complete the “end-to-end” connection with a peer. So isn’t everything still fundamentally centralized?

What is it actually improving? And is my way of thinking accurate? Why can’t there be a normal P2P project handling exchange of information and/or modern fiat in the same way (Something like Paypal, but transactions have no middleman)?

Edit: The only thing I recognized was the ease of transferring money in other countries. But, that was solved pretty much in the beginning. Why didn't it just stop there? And, now with US regulations, it's much harder to buy crypto and all the fees on top of it, kind of ruins a lot of the advantages the early adopters (at least for US citizens) had.
