Yoglabs is back and Sips is making YouTube videos again. Nature is healing.

That said, there is one pair of headphones I had that were both bassy and open back, but I enjoyed for a lot of stuff because they were so warm sounding, Koss Porta Pros. They're little unassuming buggers but they sound phenomenal for anything that would similarly benefit from being on vinyl.

The White House family theater. Converted in 1942 from what was originally a cloakroom when the east wing was built in 1902. Over 123 years old, gone now.

I get the feeling the mandalorian and grogu movie is an attempt at stitching an unfinished season 4 into a film. A lot of the CGI in the trailer looks unfinished, and the logo looks like it was Photoshopped at the last minute.

I gotta say, even though I'm not an Apple person, the new liquid glass UI is the most visually and technically impressive UI I've ever seen. The way it morphs together seems like they've built the entire interface out of SDFs, and the glass shader is gorgeous. It's very 3D and dimensional.

Simpleflips is doing another marathon stream with the giant glitterbomb he has to defuse every hour. Go wish him luck and put Fs in chat for his REM sleep!

Why does it sound so creepy 😭 I hate AI so much...

Some various progress screenshots. There was a lot of iteration. I might hold onto some of these other design ideas for other robots so he can have some buddies.

Pretty proud of the little robot character I've been working on. Unsure what he will end up being called, but he's a solid fella #art #3d #blender #b3d

I love the new mail trucks so much. They're practical, air conditioned, and look like a cartoon duck. Really hope to be seeing these on the road soon.

Also I just realized that you only follow the house of commons, lords and news accounts relevant to this case, so I'm assuming you're a sock puppet for an AI booster on twitter or an outright bot

"We can not simply rely on voluntary co-operation" really says it all. They do not want you to have the ability to say no, they want to remove your choice and create an exemption for AI companies to scrape everything, private data, art and intellectual property with impunity.

I implore all who can to respond to this and defend consumer privacy and intellectual property in the UK from being destroyed by AI companies. There's a form in the link and on the tweet linked below to respond to their request for consultation. x.com/SciTechgovuk... www.gov.uk/government/c...

My Fosters Home bus recreation from Cartoon Network City is coming along nicely! It took me a while to figure out the door mechanism, but now that it's sorted, the texture work has been super fun. #CartoonNetwork #CNCity #FostersHome

Over 10k creators have signed this letter declaring the training of generative AI on unlicensed works unjust. It's even getting reported on in mainstream news publications already. If you have the time, I think it's worth signing. www.aitrainingstatement.org www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

LibreOffice and NextCloud both replace common productivity software suites. LibreOffice has a close equivalent for everything in Microsoft Office and is even more lightweight, and NextCloud allows you to host your own collaborative apps like GoogleDocs. Both support Microsoft Office formats.

I would be absolutely insane if I didn't mention Blender. It's not really competing with much, because Cinema4D and Maya are both decent, but Blender is completely FREE and arguably better. Not only does it do 3D animation, it also can do 2D animation, video editing, motion tracking and compositing.

Adobe is expensive, their apps are getting clunkier, and they are constantly trying to collect user data. Krita is better for digital painting than photoshop, photopea is great for image editing, Inkscape is better than illustrator IMO, and Davinci Resolve has replaced Premiere for my video editing.

For added anonymity & compatibility when using a VPN, setting a fake GPS addon like LocationGuard to the same location as your VPN fools most VPN detectors. Sometimes they'll default to your PCs location services, but you can turn those off and set them to a default location of your choosing.

In addition to a privacy browser, there are tons of addons for chrome and firefox that block many trackers, strip tracking prefixes from URLs, block ads and any connections to specific domains known to be used for tracking and malware. And of course a VPN helps.

DuckDuckGo is a privacy focused search engine that actually gives real results instead of a bunch of ads and algorithmic content. I consistently find more useful results on DuckDuckGo like 70% of the time, except for in rare cases where image results are less plentiful, but have way fewer AI images.

For browsers, almost all Google alternatives are based on Chromium, the framework of Chrome, which has built in connections to Google services. Firefox is built from scratch, is open source and I've been using it for the last year with no complaints. There are also other browsers based on firefox.

From almost everyone I've talked to, the most user-friendly Linux version for Windows users to pick up is Linux Mint Cinnamon. Also, Steam's proton compatibility layer is available for other versions of Linux, as is Wine, so it's possible to play tons of windows games on it.

Since most people here are either hoping this soon becomes the replacement to the former bird site, or have already fully commited to the switch, I figure now is a good time to boost alternatives to other deteriorating monopolized products 🧵
