I just went to the doctor the next day and got medication
If it were that easy sure, but it doesn’t work that way here (certainly not walk-ins, phone doesn’t work for me). That was my thinking when replying to your top-level comment, that most people (in the US at least) will have more trouble getting there.
I’m well aware, I ride my bike on a trail (though not many destinations and heat can be an issue) and I even reorganized my room recently. Though it seems like it’s impossible to control/sustain.
For me (carless) it’s more about the distance to even picking up medication (more-so care esp not-the-closest-hospital), paperwork and appointments, time slots and waiting lists. Family is anti-doctor. Many of my issues likely won’t be helped much by standard medical options, even depression (particularly when something like a personality disorder is part of it) already seems like a coin flip.
Also with the current administration I don’t trust that if I got started I’d still have access before getting stable (plus you cannot just take a break from most brain meds w/o tapering off).
I don’t live in the 21st century, I live in isolation and without medication. And I assume others in the thread are similar.
No I can’t imagine any path to even living in a different place in the US, let alone getting out. Even some of the edge cases I likely won’t ever have the connection(s) for it to be a possibility.
alarm-clock-applet allows custom commands. So put systemctl suspend into a timer, bingo.
rtcwake to wake the computer up, for-better-or-worse the music will still be playing.
Someone else mentioned android, VLC there does have a sleep timer (just to stop the music) I didn’t see an equivalent option in the desktop version (at a quick glance) though.
In SMPlayer I do see the option ‘shut down computer’ as a sub-option for `close when finished playback’ (general options)
You know, I’m somewhat of a coding enthusiast myself.
Difficult to think of projects that I want to do that are also viable for me now. I settled on Minesweeper (/a dragonsweeper-like) though I lost momentum as I got a bit hung up on how to implement it in a way that’d allow dynamic map sizes. I suppose I should just make it as simple as I can and then differentiate it later.
Mostly been ignoring it though, instead making efforts to organize my room. Any personal growth is good, right?
I would also like an excuse to make some polygonal art (2D or 3D) but I don’t have many ideas there either, and many ideas of which would probably be an insignificant amount of actual coding compared to animation.
I guess I would boil it down to: I’m not using Linux on a touchscreen and am unlikely to any time soon. I’m not even sure if/when I’ll ever go beyond 1080p (and a small screen at that) because cost.
I don’t want a dock or full-screen apps menu. I don’t want to fix those (or missing features) using extensions. I do want to customize things*, but otherwise I don’t need my desktop to look new or exciting.
* I even made my own hyper-minimal XFWM window theme (which is honestly unneeded for maximized applications due to my XFCE settings anyway, but it does allow me to have a rolled-up music player always visible like an old-internet music widget).
just introduce new users to GNOME, that’s perfectly intuitive and even looks great!
Gnome 2 sure, modern not so much. I mean when useful features are cut from the GUI it just means it’s harder to actually do things. Like removing “open in terminal” made non-GUI stuff more difficult (esp. w/complicated directory).
I’d say XFCE or Cinnamon or anything else like those are better.
I don’t trust crowd-funding, particularly considering the publisher here. At the very least, they have 4 games on steam with mixed reviews.
Most people might not care, but also there was the Roots of Pacha dispute… plus the publisher doing unpaid promotion (using many accounts, and I suspect this isn’t great for devs). That and crowd-funding being a cornerstone of their business model (on top of community QA) on its own doesn’t seem right to me.
i think the significance of the ‘lemmy.world’ is the origin of the post… in this case [email protected] posted it to sh.itjust.works
Close, it’s where the image is hosted. The lemmy.world bit is a link to the image. Just like how any website link will say the domain of the destination.
I mean it probably is where a user is posting from, but sometimes it is not (not sure why but sometimes non-ml users will post images from ml)
If it’s everything (in a community/profile) maybe, particularly if they don’t have any contributions elsewhere. Or if it’s actually something heartfelt/personal I can see being more touchy about it, less so with bot-like aggregation or reposting old content etc.
Because otherwise, it’s not going to be obvious where the line is when you add in time and % of content. If you’re using a bot/script to detect voting, you’re likely going to ban users just for casual browsing (even if they could explain their votes). Especially as an instance ban purges a user’s account (to users of that instance) as if they’re on the same level as an SEO spammer. Does a voting disagreement mean the rest of their account is invalid?
I don’t know if it’s fedi incompatibility or just 0-transparency moderation, but dubvee might be doing this but it’s unclear as they seem to be just handing out silent bans (no ban reason stated).
just the ones they’ve interact with up to the time of the ban
I got banned from 10 communities on your instance (with no stated reason/expiration) and I’m pretty sure I haven’t interacted with most of those (EDIT: I’m remembering some now, though those were from months ago). So I’m not sure if I got marked by some bot or just said something some mod disagreed with.
This is not an appeal though as I don’t care beyond a casual mention.
EDIT: Actually it is an instance ban, with everything (no matter what instance/comm) purged.
Vector/polygonal, truly implemented for the technical benefits* and likely untextured**. Which will make it more niche than the early 3D stuff that did use vertex colors ( EDIT: such as Spyro (specifically skyboxes, LoD) and Crash Bandicoot (Crash’s animations are cool too)).
3D polygonal+vertex color actually isn’t that difficult to do. I’ve done some, the real issue (aside from making it good) is actually the animation/game around it. I haven’t done much and continue not doing much because personal stuff.
* less data while also rendering at native res without needing extra work (8K or even on a 50ft Billboard? Sure). MIDI (you can use higher-quality soundfonts) or other procedural stuff (sounds/sfxr, textures) are nice too.
** I’m not against not-too-many general-use textures, but I tried this (including a watercolor splatter texture I made) without mapping and wasn’t really happy with the results… plus normal maps won’t work with per-vertex¯ materials. So this probably takes a lot of effort/skill to work as-intended.
¯ not strictly necessary, but I don’t mind the idea aesthetically and a free optimization sounds nice even though low poly+vertex-color is already a low bar (unless per-vertex could help with webGL, mobile, VR, or really old devices etc?)

What are the steps to reproduce an art style using computer programs and without artificial intelligence?
Emphasis mine.

Still trying to figure out Hades?
which might be further context. So they might just be looking for inspiration.
Generally, I feel like it depends on how viable it seems to fix. Is this the same issue that people marched about 50+ years ago?
Specific elephant in the room, what possible fix within 2-4 decades is there when the right has most of the keys including a stacked supreme court?
Personally, I can’t really fight or leave. I am nowhere close to anything politically relevant… I have no transportation, income, or ID/passport etc. I am a shut-in with untreated health issues. I’m just letting the days go by.
I wrote an elaborate alt-text for this when I uploaded it in a comment:
But there is no alt-text there now unless I:
Yes, but It doesn’t look like the alt-text is ever actually saved to the image, I would guess instead just passed onto the comment editor after that initial upload. At least I don’t see it in the uploads tab (neither the preview nor in the viewed link itself, except on the original comment on page 9 of my comments).
That could be fine if there were a dedicated copy-markup-link button. It would also be nice for the alt-text to remain editable from there.
Also an annoyance with the standard Lemmy software (clients may fix it) is that alt-text is handled only in markup (not saved with the saved media) so if you want to post it in a comment later you need to copy the markup (from the post/comment where you first posted it) each time rather than from your uploads. Probably an issue for most files hosts (not offering alt-text) too.
Unless there is some file host that handles this?
EDIT: Posting in a community like this helps with this, though still will suffer when organization becomes an issue and also niche/comment-reply memes that don’t really make sense as a singular post.
I’ve been doing that with juice too (also adding iced tea powder, other stuff like almond extract (cherry taste) for more/different flavor) but I can’t imagine watering down soda unless using something that’s also carbonated. Which I never really tried the other carbonation options due to cost (not really drinking soda often though, tapwater is free).
Well, I did try watering something down with club soda once but that was gross particularly because the carbonation was already gone.
It’s called being cultured, like cheese. Though art is a bit different as whatever shapes you does so long-term, even if you could zap away issues instantly the memory and thus influence will still be there.
Also health/brain issues for me are likely a bigger detriment than anything, resulting in me doing nothing most of the time (small chores on a good day). So anything created is a rare win in spite of that.
If would be more productive to encourage blocking by making it more powerful/less of a chore.
Also honestly once a block list is 50+ it already seems like named blocklists are needed to properly manage things.
