Or if you meant the federated approach, not the federation itself, then I don't know!

I assume because Google and Amazon (twitch) own a major part of server infrastructures worldwide and keep driving up the cost of hosting. Any serious competitor would either have to bring their own server farms somehow, or directly fund their competitor and suffer from their price gouging.

Less than I would have guessed!

This looks absolutely amazing!

I'm curious, what is the memory imprint? I assume it's pretty small since it's a repeating pattern?

I found a lot of games and devs from their posts about funny bugs and weird solutions they find. Regular behind-the-scene stuff is often popular and makes people want to comment and interact.

@joelbaylis.bsky.social has no idea how much he's contributed to my motivation and sanity in the last two years. I would go insane without music, and somehow, the Cassette Beasts and Lenna's Inception OST became the soundtrack to my master's degree, hahaha. They're just so good? Awesome games too!

Yeah, those websites are all AI generated scams.

I love the texture of your backgrounds and lines, especially that pencil brush, its great!

What software do you use?

I've been trying to find a good pencil brush for Krita, but none has quite satisfied me so far.

Your designs are so good. Seriously, you draw very good bugs. ;v;

Even worse, film speed. Like I understand the origin, but even back then it was arguably not the right term.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Awesome, and thank you! This is all super useful information.

Feather Antennae @featherantennae.bsky.social · Aug 18

Oh, one last curiosity, were the simulation meshes made by hand or were they automagically generated from the render meshes?

Did you have to setup springs, constraints, material properties, etc. by hand or was it all behind the scene / handled by the engine?

Feather Antennae @featherantennae.bsky.social · Aug 18

That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks!

Ah, and no worries. I'm interested in the artist-side of things, not the inner workings. I'll work out the later myself. :P

Feather Antennae @featherantennae.bsky.social · Aug 18

Was it for baking cloth simulations or for live simulation in games?

Feather Antennae @featherantennae.bsky.social · Aug 18

By matching sim and render meshes, do you mean the topology, the animation, or something else?

Like was it about updating the sim mesh to better match changes to the render mesh?

Or adjusting the simulated results to better match a blendshape or armature based animation of the render mesh?

Fuites de donnés, abus, la mort des petites plateformes au profit des géants ayant la capacité de payer, censure...

Un cancer prétendant protéger les enfants, pendant que les écoles et le support adapté continuent d'être ravagés par les coupures.

Vous n'en avez rien à foutre des enfants.

This may be hard to answer, but what specifically did you like about theirs?

I'm interested in upgrading some of the physics stuff, and it'd help a lot to have a end user goal instead of just doing it for the cool maths. :P

VALIDATE YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING. There's a bug with mass download on gdrive.

I stopped using google drive in 2021 when I realized this had been an issue since 2019, and hundreds of other users had the same issue. Google ended up locking the thread without fix.

Modern platforms feel worse than exaggerations of what not to do you'd find in UI & UX design textbooks. Especially blogs, news, YouTube, and wikis (thanks Fandom).

They trigger all the red flags I relied on back then to tell if a website was trying to scam me or give me a virus back in 2005.

Feather Antennae @featherantennae.bsky.social · Jul 11

I feel like things were actually more user friendly back then. I think it was more about:

1. Access to information (reliable search engines)
2. Community (not investor) driven platforms
3. Owning the software you bought
4. Excitement about the future

Hopefully we'll get some of these back someday.
