So, I've been using #bun for my #vue and #nuxt projects (because my teacher recommended it and it seemed easy), but now I learn that they're owned by Anthropic. So it's time to migrate to an alternative. #nodejs and #deno seem to be the main options. Can anyone advice me on this? Can they […]

It's funny, back on other social media I used to get a kick out of getting more followers. Here in the fediverse I get that from finding cool and/or interesting people to follow.

@Braininabowl@mastodon.gamedev.place I create ambient music on my own. OK the plugins themselves were AI generated, and they're also driven manually, by my own hands on the computer, in a daw. The part I can't do, that I'd *love* some help with, is getting visuals on those pieces. Right now I'm using an audio visualizer, also AI-coded, that I have no way of verifying the output of because of blindness. More generally? I miss being around others who do the things I do. The ambient music corner of the internet is full of... people who may or may not be using AI as a primary output mechanism, and it shows. I don't want to get views or stand out. I also don't want to have AI visuals, even AI visuals a step down from being wholesail generated by a model itself, slapped onto my stuff, unless 1, there's no other option I know looks appropriate for the soundtrack behind them and, 2, I can get visuals on it first to figure out whether it's *actually* photosensativity safe, as I'd spesificly asked for, or not.

Had a rare movie night, and this one was a banger! "A Dark Song" is a low-budget Welsh/Irish horror mystery that's basically an hour of slow, steady buildup of dread and weirdness leading into 20 minutes of bonkers ending. Highly recommended!
