The current sidebar has virtually no rules, and the only other mod of the community basically hasn’t been around for two years. It’s safe to say this place needed a new moderator, and an active poster is certainly a good choice. Thanks for deciding to pick up the mantle!

Now that I’ve looked over the situation, I’d consider maybe codifying some simple rules, and including them in the sidebar and a pinned post. Currently the only thing the Furry sidebar says is “we’re vaguely pro AI posting,” which I don’t think is the best position for a general art community, nor one I’ve ever seen community members be interested in using.

Woah, fantastic timing! Thanks so much for making this a very seamless experience for new joiners, and also for hosting a new FOSS service at an important time of need. Question, for those of us who have already made Matrix accounts, are there invite links to the main pawb.social spaces? I assume some have been created, and I’d like to join via my existing 4d2 account!

Thanks!

At this rate, you might even need more than one clown car to store them all!

Thanks for sharing your comic! Also, the clowns you’ve been making are quite neat, I saw some of your mastodon posts about them. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some down time or temporary degraded service, it happens to any server, but bark.lgbt seems to work fine when I checked just now. Well, I could see your profile anyway.

That’s wonderful to hear! I think it being so hard to make a list is part of why it’s a thing, so that different people can all positively talk about different projects that help them, and even just about developing free software in general. It’s just nice to hear you’re appreciated, and they absolutely are!

Proprietary DAWs? By that I have to imagine you mean FL Studio, I don’t think anything really holds a candle to that, especially because I’d also have to include the myriad of propetary plugins too (even if you can technically use them with free software). I’ve used it to make a few simple jingles and whatnot for myself, and also to just jam on my MIDI keyboard, which is really all I need anyway. Zrythm is a bit more robust with plugin support, but the 1.0 release is certainly rough around the edges at the moment.

I do largely just install things, but I like to go to source pages, about pages, try and get a feel for the vibes, and ensure it is actually free software before I use it. It just set off a red flag and I wrote it off; maybe the software is great and there’s nothing to worry about, I dunno.

Thank you!

Yes, that’s correct, I have a flashed Pixel 8 Pro. As for LMMS, because it was freely available to download, along with Zrythm. When I looked at Ardour last, the message I got was they were a little antagonistic to building binaries from source from the display messages, it put me off. I don’t mind paying for binaries, but the scary messages about not to do it, and that they actively don’t keep the build pages up to date with what you might need? Eh.

I suppose it’s not scalding at least, but dang. Over here we’ve got so much snow on the ground, I’m just hoping I won’t have to do any more all day shoveling events any time soon lol.

Thank you!

Yeah, it’s like part surprise, part happy. When I originally saw the character in a video acstlu made, that was the vibe I had; there was just something about her expression.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

The chad porn artist versus the loser Nazi bar attendee.

I draw when I want to purely for self expression; I won’t capitulate to tech bro oligarchy by stowing myself away in fear of data processing. If anything—now more than ever—we need folks who are willing to be more open with their art and their voices, not less. We need a willingness to be shared, derived, and freely experienced amongst culture that is willing to share back. Copyright was never for the working class; hopefully this worldwide scale “theft” makes that crystal clear for others out there.

Ooh, very cute! Thanks for sharing your friend!

It shouldn’t be directly linked by people, honestly. All links to X/Twitter can be changed from x to xcancel in the url: https://xcancel.com/Komanychi/status/2018892488321401232

Aww, super cute idea!

Oh yeah I’ve seen those before! I kind of figured they’d give off some uneven light, but I never did try one to find that out.

Take them up on their offer of lumen output and show off one of these bad boys.

When my curtains are open, I’m getting ample sunlight and don’t need lighting. When it’s night time, I don’t want light which emulates daylight in my home.

Scientists now believe Santa was covered entirely with feathers, so a lot of the imagery you see today is outdated.

It’s not even just the fact he’s a Protogen. If you’re not a very strong swimmer, and someone is struggling for their life in the water, jumping in is just going to endanger your life too, as they frantically try to cling on or push you under trying to get air. That’s not to say you should be taking selfies in front of their death however lol. Maybe toss something that floats, or call for someone who has that experience.

Which app do you happen to be using? I’ve yet to encounter this issue on the desktop Lemmy client, nor on Voyager myself.

Maybe just an accidental click or touch? Either way, thank you!
