That's become my answer to all "why not ActivityPub?" questions.

AP isn't completely stagnant but there's a reason AT is still holding on to and accelerating that early developer excitement AP had. Maybe it's marketing, maybe it's money, maybe it's some technical thing. Maybe it's the community. Whatever it is, people seem to enjoy developing in the Atmosphere in a way I never saw on AP.

Furry developers are all professionals and won't have a giggle fit every time they think about it.

I don't get the joke and I'm a bit too worried about googling this on my work pc, can you please enlighten me what's up with the word knot :D

The knot is the bit that causes two canids to get en-tangled after getting frisky.

I assume you don't mean Tangled is an expert martial artist. Can you translate this to not-a-dev-but-uses-git?

They’re referring to the Jujutsu VCS https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/

oopsie; should have added links.

`jj` is a wrapper around git and offers a much better dev-ex for managing changes.

it has features like:

- conflicts are first class citizens

- `rebase` is the default mode; there is no need for an interactive rebase mode.

- all descendant changes automatically rebase

- a much more intuitive version of `git reflog`. in `jj`, we have `jj op log`

- cheap branching: branches in `jj` are just tags (or bookmarks) that can be moved around

Jujutsu is a git-compatible version control system

Blender has an actual spreadsheet view. Everything model-related can be quantified in it.

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/spreadshee...

Yes but those numbers get there through human creativity, they don't generate themselves.

they can though https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/geometry_...

I think you missed my point - up until Anthropic decides there's a pressing need to replace them to furnish their wallets, the awesome people who create incredible art using Blender have learned how to use the tool and use it to convert their imagination into something we can all see.

it’s not that your point is being missed. it’s that some people don’t agree with you, and the personal attacks aren’t helping

People surprised by Anthropic getting in on Blender funding obviously never saw any of the Blender/ChatGPT integrations a few years ago. This has been coming for a long time.

That was ancient times in LLM terms. I've seen demos that create whole scenes in a single prompt.

There are lots of non-coding use cases for LLMs that don't burn through compute but are still useful. Anthropic is starting to catch on, and it makes sense to focus there with the compute crunch.

Art generators need to come a long way to completely replace art tools. I dabble, but if I were doing real work with it, there have been times it would have been faster to composite in a 3D model rather than keep trying to prompt an image generator into fixing something.

That's why it's great that it's able to work with existing art tools, like Blender, instead of replacing them.

or use a hybrid approach and have the best of both https://youtu.be/1vB3JXzewx0?si=DWKNgPcJcz5u4Bkp

Look at the names on the map. You don't need to be a LOTR superfan to tell something is off.

So it's not actually about AI at all? It's about it being incorrect?

It’s about humans presenting something plausibly awful in a deceptive way, and using a machine to be plausible and deceptive.

It's incorrect because it was lazily AI-generated. Most modern AI image generators can handle this if you're the least bit thoughtful.

The telly tale flip flopping of someone driven by emotion not logic

It's not flip-flopping, they're answering the question that you posed. You claimed that the constraint is arbitrary, they demonstrated how it isn't.

I even made a better map in a few minutes to prove the point: https://bsky.app/profile/kyefox.com/post/3mkibnvrt3c25

There are still inaccuracies, but I'm also not pretending to care about legacy like Moleskine.

Furtrack seems to suffer from the same problem a lot of photo sharing sites do: the only people who visit are the subjects and other photographers.

For example: https://www.furtrack.com/index/species:fennec_fox

Tens, hundreds of photos for each suit, but almost no views.

I do wish they added some more interesting viewing modes. But their primary goal has been to link photographers with fursuiters, often people who don't know each other or have contact details. A huge improvement over having to dig through google drive folders and personal websites for your photos.

Sadly social media has very much taken over for casual viewing.

Finally, competition for Clickhole.

The Onion also owns Clickhole

Used to. Sold to Cards Against Humanity.

Oh shit, was not aware.

You're thinking of a feed trough, like for pigs. This use of feed comes from news services.
