Completely agree with this take. There are dozens of us!

shut up

lol didn’t realise Poettering had a lemmy account

Users were complaining that their terminal transparency was being broken by the nspawn container and that the colour for other applications like tmux were being affected by it. For example tmux was appearing in the same navy blue in the terminal emulator instead of its usual green.

Idk he’s just a hot take merchant basically. He has a particular hate-boner for distros that don’t use systemd as the default init system like void and gentoo (usually these are troll tweets as opposed to commit messages though).

I’m going to continue to keep avoiding Poettering software for as long as he continues to act like a jackass. Even his commit messages are dripping with condescension.

It’s more like a quality control thing I guess. Generated content is going to be derivitive by its nature so banning it internally is forcing the devs to be creative.

Lua is as easy as python, potentially easier. I don’t think writing a one-off script with it to solve a specific problem is a nuts idea.

Agree that the actual monster designs looked dull. Funnily enough in a “new pokemon” kind of way. Other monster collecting games like SMT and Digimon seem to manage to produce more interesting monsters/pals/demons.

Have they ever got the physics right on a SMB game when releasing on a non-gamecube platform?

Amazing! I love how traditional religious art scales figures according to their imporance. It seems counterintuitive to our modern eye that focuses on perspective but there is an undeniable logic to, “most important thing should be largest”.

Piranesi’s Imaginary Prisons are one of my favourite series of prints. Up there with 36 View of Mount Fuji by Hokusai, albeit in a different medium since they are etchings instead of woodcuts.

The story behind them is that many artists during the 18th century were forced to make prints for rich tourists from other European countries who were doing the Grand Tour. Often the features of major landmarks like the size of the coloseum were exaggerated to make the prints more impressive. The Imaginary Prisons series of prints takes all of this embellishment and inverts it to create a series of fantastical, claustrophobic dungeons. They are very gothic and have impossible architecture which may have inspired later artists like MC Escher. I also personally think they might have inspired the architecture in the Dark Souls video game series.

Fun modern link: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was apprenticed to Kuniyoshi (who shared a studio with Kunisada). He was a great woodblock printmaker in his own right, but many art historians note that he was one of the first artists to popularise comic book prints known as “chuban” which were one of the precursors to modern day manga.

I believe the algorithms on those apps purposefully hold back the best matches for you unless you pay for a subscription.

ikr I went to that thread to post the same thing but he beat me to it

Some of the models in Palworld look uncannily similar to Pokemon assets. Could be the result of AI being used though, can’t really remember the details of the controversy back when it came out.

Edit:

Like these models seem to have similar designs for example
