#open-source development

[morlock-holmes]

I continue to be incredibly fucking baffled by the number of youtubers and fan artists going, "The problem with AI is that it monetizes somebody else's IP without them getting any of the revenue stream! Anyway if you want to commission me to draw a Disney character the info is in my bio."

I seriously don't see how they cannot grasp the connection, it seems impossibly obvious to me.

It is weird to literally make your living (Or your side hustle) monetizing somebody else's artwork and then make PSAs about how bad it is to do that.

It's like if back in the day it had been a bunch of Napster users sharing the "You wouldn't download a car" ads.

"He is back and he is seeking revenge!!" That’s what one of my teammates said after we wrapped up a big performance upgrade on a server that was… let’s say, not performing its best. Highs and lows, right? Complex, data-heavy, fast, reliable, and done for the best 'top dogs' in the game (me included).

And then another kind of thing... I was talking with a friend who’s been struggling to find a job in his field (he's studying management, which is a solid and common path). So, why not help a little bit? (That is what is in the image, do not call me a click baiter*)

I strongly believe that if you're struggling to get into any area, a nice way to present yourself is by having a page—it can be pure HTML/CSS or a cloned repo with some kind of "personal website template" using all the NodeJS you want.

Then, turn it into a DNS like "yourname-myprofession.com" so you can show a clean, well-designed QR Code with your avatar during interviews. It’s a cleanest way possible to present your résumé and experience. Tech skills are like magic, especially for those who haven't seen it before.

I proudly present you : an in-development pixel art editor! Largely oriented at tilesets and charsets, Voidsprite supports custom-size grids alongside resize-canvas-by-grid-size and resize-canvas-by-grid-count, alongside numerous (and growing with future update) supported image formats. Please check it out, and leave any suggestions or feedback on the itch.io page! As it is a FOSS project, check it out on github also!

i need more mutuals who are into coding and engineering!! more info under the cut!!

I planned to become an electrical engineer like my stepdad but then I decided to change my path to programming. I'm currently studying at technikum (<- wikipedia link so I don't have to explain the whole polish learning system), programmer major.

this year I have exams from web development (10th Jan - theory, 16th Jan - practical exams) and next year I have exams from App development (both mobile and desktop).

I know C family languages, Java, Python and those ones I am currently using. I also know a bit of Kotlin and I think I will continue learning it.

For web dev I know HTML and CSS ofc but also PHP and JS.

Planning on learning more languages I can use for App and operating system development as well as just to know them cause I want to after this year's exams!

my learning list:

Lua (I heard it's easy but I can't really get myself to read anything about this atm idk why)

Ruby

Assembly

Rust

As for electrical engineering I don't know much tbh but I would like to learn! I just used CAD programs for technical drawings (dad taught me some basic things when I was still thinking about going his path) helped my dad fix things on his Solar farm, houses of our neighbors and I made a few very simple circuits for fun a few years ago. Now I'm mostly focused on programming but since I learned most of the things I need for exams I have more time to do whatever I want now!

I'd like to get to know more people so I can share and mostly learn new things since even though I'm coding for years I consider myself a beginner and I am a total beginner when it comes to electrical engineering.

I'm willing to be friends or at least mutuals with anyone who codes or makes websites or is in STEM! no matter what your specialty/interest is exactly and no matter if you are a total beginner or a professional ^__^

I'd also like to have some mutuals who are into old web development and retro computing!!!!!!!!

edit: I forgot but I'm also interested in physics and quantum physics

I know you're on paternity leave so feel free to ignore this if you don't want to think about it, but has there been any progress on open-sourcing Tumblr's front-end? Inquiring minds would like to know

i hadn’t seen any progress on it before i left. there’s a strong willingness to do it, it’s just a big task to get it open-source-able in a sustainable way. a lot of our CI/CD processes rely on stuff that would need to be rebuilt from scratch, i think. totally doable, just not a priority.

but maybe there’s been progress since i left, i dunno! 🤞

If all goes well, clipboard pasting will be supported in the Text and Label tools in Tux Paint 0.9.35.

Thinking about the protective way Clara tells Fleet not to go into DeVries' dangerous-looking training set-up, and about how when Septimus mentions Fleet's friend Fleet's immediate assumption is that he must mean Clara, and about "This is Miss Clara Entwhistle, my partner - in business, my business partner." / "I'm also his friend, but he doesn't like to say it.", and about how Fleet rarely smiles but he smiles to himself at Clara having a good idea (and Clara notices the change in his expression), and about how Clara is trying to work out Fleet's birthday through a process of elimination, and about how Fleet tries twice to shut down the conversation with Frances Byrne that's making Clara uncomfortable, and about how panicked and angry he sounds after realising she's been poisoned...

have you watched hunter the parenting? if so what’s ur opinion on it?

naw i havn't! the art is fantastic, the crew is extremely skilled and quite funny, but i just can't get into it, not really that compelled by the world it takes place in. i'm frankly really happy to see the spirit of tts live on like a phoenix, it's really sweet.

We’re excited to introduce Vibe Checks for the Praxis website, inspired by the process we’ve developed in our Discord server. With this new feature in place, new members will be able to answer a list of community decided questions, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all who join the website.

Here’s how it works: Vibe checkers, selected by the community, read over the answers and engage with new members in their respective questionnaire tickets, which are automatically generated upon joining. If enough vibe checkers vote in favor of verifying a new member, they are automatically verified and receive a welcome notification.

With Vibe Checks implemented, we're now able to safely share invite links to the website far outside our Discord server. Whether you're a longtime community member or a newcomer looking to contribute, we welcome you to join us in this early round of testing and QA.

Join the project: https://praxis-app.org/i/4efdc9de

Some screen sharing of challenging backend Java code that I was testing, although it was quite basic, to be honest.

Additionally, my notebook contained a pretty basic code base for a producer class that I wrote by hand. I want to become very skilled in creating Java classes based on the producer-consumer pattern using Kafka.

I'm willing to at least hear out most of the "xyz plot point is heavily tied to abc cultural context" brands of posts but the "wwx isn't meant to be read as morally gray" and "the western fandom made up Sizhui being wangxian's son" brands of post make me feel like my cultural ignorance is being used to gaslight me

Game concept

Create your avatar

Customize your room

Chat with other players

Explore rooms

I need help with this project! I'm not looking for specific skills but for people who can help me refine the concept

More details under the cut

Provisory concept details:

Plateform: Web

Style: Isometric pixel art

Type: Multiplayer, virtual world

Game engine: Godot

I made the images from this post with 32x32px tiles but I think the game might be better in 64x64px

This is just the beginning of the project, all of these might change when we refine the concept

I'll create a discord for the project if I can find some people interested enough to help me with the concept. If I do I'll post about it on this account but if you want me to send you the link directly send me a message!

Two months remaining

Sonatype's OSSRH will reach end-of-life on 30 June, forcing me to change how I distribute my open-source JVM libraries. I've known about this deadline for about a month now, but so far I haven't made any progress migrating to Central Portal, its replacement.

Currently I have about 25 projects that publish via OSSHR, so this is potentially a major headache for me.
