Technology? They are no more significant than other manufacturers. This is business news. Great business news, of course, but not technology.

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they'll come.

That steak looks perfect. Nailed it.

Personally would do the veggies a little less. They should ideally be browned, rather than black IMHO. Covering for the start can help with that.

Feels very AI generated.

If it's a hobby. Just go for it. Enjoy it. Please and entertain yourself. If you take folk with you on the journey, great.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

Because it's a voxel Birch or because you feel the texture is derivative and pixel similarities show glaring similarities leading to the belief the creation of the assets were based on MC textures?

A DCMA from a company representing Mojang got Luanti (formerly Minetest) taken down once before because they thought it infringed. After challenge it was later found it was bullshit.

That's great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You've clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it's ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It's my favourite price.

China? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you're doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that's on you. I don't think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China... Unless you have a reference... But I doubt it...

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you're OK and things improved.

You're grieving for what you built. It's good to take pride and push for better. However, you don't own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it's good you have standards and care. It's now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you're being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

Appreciate the feedback.

I've seen it one other time. If you see it again, feel free to report it. It definitely helps get visibility of it.

Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Fossify Gallery (fork of Simple Gallery), Fossify File Manager (fork of Simple File Manager) and Fossify Calendar (fork of Simple Calendar) are now available for download on F-Droid.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

 

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

 

How convenient these tech problems are.

Sorry, we cannot delete your account because... checks notes... technical problems.

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

 

Mozilla's position on WEI is pretty solid.

 

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

A few months out of date, but I'm keen on the project and waiting on the latest installment. As content here is a little dated, it cannot hurt to get this here so folk can dig into it more.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
