Yet another reason for me to finally get into 3D printing!
I’m still rocking a 2011 38" vizio from Costco. Does everything I need, nice and dumb, as a TV should be. A bigger and higher def TV won’t bring me more happiness, so I’ll be sticking with it until it quits and I can’t fix it.
I think you might be confusing it with something else. Pixelorama is quite a recent app developed entirely with the Godot engine.
From a pure usability and features standpoint, if you are capable of compiling it, there is no reason to use Libresprite over aseprite.
LibreSprite’s only advantage is the GPL license and the ease of installation compared to compiling aseprite (if one does not pay)
Out of curiosity, what model Nvidia card did you have? If it’s installing 390xx, that would suggest it is an older card.
Cheers for that! It looks like it’s been built for Fedora 42 and 43, but not 41 yet, unfortunately.
The forks are based off an older version, and received less development compared to the OG after stopped being FOSS. A serious artist or gamedev would likely appreciate the additional features of the OG, but the forks are free, and still retain much of what made aseprite so good, making them more than adequate to learn with or any pixel art amateur.
When I played the first game, I eventually become a bit annoyed at how some systems worked, such as how frequently henry became hungry, so I downloaded a mod that extended the time between meals, which made the experience a bit more realistic and less annoying.
Though on the topic of degrading equipment, I kinda like shoes wearing out of it’s not too frequent, because for some odd reason I find it enjoyable to have to plan trips around such limitations 😄
That’s a fair point, actually. I suppose as long as an algorithm doesn’t prioritize engagement at all costs, it could be a worthy addition.
Not a bad idea!
As someone who has had to explain to longtime Linux users why and how some arcane aspect of package management isn’t grok-able by the common user, I understand where you’re coming from with that point.
However, while I do agree the overall experience could be more intuitive and easier, if the first concepts of federation and picking a server is too much for someone, I don’t know if that is possible to overcome since it’s fundamental to this whole citizen controlled media experiment. Hopefully at some point in the future it becomes more popular, and thus the concept becomes more understandable and less scary due to seeing others get on with it, just like email.
I don’t think the existence of a second solarpunk instance would negate my experience with the first instance. It would still apply, there would just be another place where that same phenomena is happening for a different group of people.
That’s not to say that I couldn’t subscribe to their communities and get to know the regulars there too, but it would be more norrowed since I would only see the ones I specifically subscribe to, where as with my local tab I see the totality of what’s posted to my ‘home’.
If you personally don’t care about that specific experience that a local tab can bring and think your curated subscriptions is just as good if not better, awesome, more power to you.
But for me specifically, and possibly for others as well, it’s a noticeable difference and a welcome addition to our experience :)
I’m not entirely sure if this is how it works, but I believe the instance that disables down votes does not federate downvotes from other instances. So if a downvote enabled instance downvotes a post from the non downvoting instance, other users on the same instance as the downvoter will see downvotes, but other instances will not see them.
Could be totally wrong about that though!

It’s not that the local tab replaces your home ‘subscriptions’ tab, it’s that it’s nice to have in addition to it.
My instance, slrpnk.net, caters to solarpunk topics only, and we’re small enough that it has a tight community of regular posters whom I recognize. In my local tab I can see at a glance just the stuff posted to my community, with my other subscriptions not mixed in and cluttering it up. I also see in my local tab what’s being posted in communities I’m not subscribed to, but will often have comments from our members since we all collectively view our local tab. It’s like a sort’ve town square feel that my all and subscriptions tab don’t have.
I like having access to both.
Voting being disabled is an option built into Lemmy that the admins can activate, though only a few choose to. I know Blahaj disabled down votes but not upvotes.
Also I can’t test this immediately, but at least on reddit, if you highlighted text from someone’s comment before hitting the reply button, it would automatically put that in quotes in your comment box.
AFAIK, you’re able to see pretty much everything on your instance, but Beehaw did defederate from your instance, so I think you can see their posts, but they can’t see yours.
About the lack of an algorithm: do we really want to recreate the addictiveness of for-profit platforms? Is that actually a healthy feature? Perhaps it’s better for society if our social media isn’t as addictive as possible.
And on manual validation for sign-ups: before the mass migration from Reddit, most instances didn’t seem to have validation, and then as it became popular, we got hit with trolls mass creating accounts posting CP and racist images, making it a game of whack-a-mole to stop it. As Lemmy is all volunteer run, we don’t have paid content moderators always watching for that stuff, nor did they have an automated content filter. The main solution is to validate sign-ups so that the moderators and admins are not overwhelmed with spam and illegal content (which they could be legally liable for if not dealt with properly).
Lemmyverse.net is the best way to search across all instances for communities that would interest you.
I’d heard of pixelorama a few years ago when it was released, but looking at it now, it looks like it’s come a long way, very impressive.
