Thanks for the article. I have much more respect for China now.

Houses becoming more affordable? Imagine the poor investors crying! Oh the sadness! I sure am happy living in a country where parasites don’t have to ever worry about such an unspeakable suffering!

But honestly, everyone who buy houses for profit can go get fucked with a pineapple.

Looking at his comment history, he manage to be hated even in technical posts, plus everything else.

Apparently some people are really just naturally like that, no financial incentive required. I can’t understand why.

Or he’s really just a troll and doesn’t even believe what he says. He just enjoy the many posts that follow his comments.

Yeah, that’s what I said. For sequence editors you’re in trouble. Specially if you have to share files with others.

That’s why fuck adobe. Fuck them 100 million times. I hope all their ceos and shareholders and whatnot die a slow, painful death.

Same to microsoft, 3dsmax and others, but adobe is a personal pain.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck adobe.

In other news, try Krita and node based video editors that run natively in Linux.

But sequence based editors… Yeah, it’s tough. There is Kdenlive and Blender, but for serious jobs it make it difficult.

I would say adobe is the biggest stone on Linux shoes. The brainwashed with their office braking compatibility would be easily fixed just ditching microsoft, gamers just don’t want to switch to something that works. But adobe, with all their patents are a big issue. The moment a real alternative comes up they will sue.

I literally changed jobs to not have to deal with adobe.

But Krita is pretty good.

If it’s completely offline and the banking thing can be completely disabled it’s awesome.

I would love to know the softwares (and their dependencies) I use more so then I can decide how to donate myself. The dependencies being a big thing. Like on android I use syncthing fork, which would be nothing without syncthing. And there may be other essential stuff running on boot that I don’t know and should help.

He mentions on the video that you need to convert to tangent. You can do that baking a tangent normal map from the original pose with the object space map you made. As for painting tangent, that will be very hard trying to simulate flat surfaces painting on a tangent map in a round object. A better solution is to sculpt on the high poly mesh (use a flatten brush for instance) and then baking from the sculpted to the original mesh. Like a standard high poly sculpt to low poly bake. You’ll find many tutorials on both options.

On the resulting tangent map, you could also distort the image with brushes or filters and get it more painted like.

By the way you don’t need substance for anything he showed. Not sure why people use it since it’s a lot less capable. You can do all that in Blender.

You mean to use online LLM?

No. That’s what I don’t want. If it was a company I trusted I would, but good luck with that. Mozilla is not that company anymore, even if they had the resources to host their own.

But locally or in a server I trust? That would be awesome. AI is awesome, but not the people who runs it.

To complement the above reply, although you paid a lot for the car, you’re paying even more daily, giving many away to very nasty companies that will turn your investment against you to increase their profit. Your data will be sold and you’re donating money to billionaires.

Is that what you want? Are you happy to have ads on a windows install you already paid, for example?

Because that’s what you’re doing. If you got a massive discount on account of the daily extra profit you’ll give them I would understand. But if not, why be so charitable to people who don’t deserve it?

That would be awesome. Like a greasemonkey/advanced unlock for those of us who don’t know how to code. So many times I wanted to customise a website but I don’t know how or it’s not worth the effort.

But only of it was local, and specially on mobile, where I need the most, it will be impossible for years…

I think it’s just internet impression.

Being gay is soooo much easier today. I would say we reached the utopia, because I don’t hide and yet my life doesn’t seem different than straight people.

The screaming ones one both sides, the “everyone must know I’m gay” and the “no one should be allowed to show they are gay” are the minority, but they sure are loud. And internet is their megaphone.

But that depends on the country of course. I’m sure gays in Saudi Arabia are not happy.

It always annoyed me so much that gay was a personality type like goth or nerd or jock, in US media.

Yeah. Same. The dream was to just be normal. That liking guys is the same as liking girls. You can be a femboy gay, or a macho yanktank straight, or the other way around. But it’s not anymore simply who you like that catches people attention.

You can simply be gay, and that is just one detail of your life. Not a whole fight anymore.

As an older gay guy, as you grow older, being gay stops being important. You just like guys, and the other guy like girls. That’s it.

And it’s actually kind of annoying how some people make that their entire personality. But when I left my mom’s house I even hanged porn pictures on my room, to tell everyone what I am and that I wouldn’t hide anymore. So I was the same.

But over time I realised that I should never have to hide, I didn’t have to keep showing either. I didn’t really want. I just did it because I was angry I had to hide.

My point is; we are here. Just not that visible.

Plus we didn’t have internet back then. Thank god. I wouldn’t want to see again the things I would have written.

Edit, I must also say that it’s because a lot of people fought for our rights. I couldn’t just be a guy who likes guys back then. It’s a luxury I love. I can say stuff like “my partner, he does this or that” and it never becomes “what, are you gay?” anymore. It’s just like a straight guy talking about his female partner most of the times, and that’s awesome. I can choose to make it my personality or not these days without having to hide.

It’s just odd. What’s your reason? Why only China? I see you sprinkle some Russia but it’s mostly China. Are you that afraid of them?

For instance, I hate israel, because it’s an invasion and genocidal and in the last 50 years they probably killed millions. I hate them a lot. And yet I post more varied stuff than you and some other people like you. So what’s the reason?

It almost look like this state sponsored bullshit your posts talk about, but it’s hard to believe Americans or who knows what would pay someone to post on Lemmy.

Checking your post history, you realy, really hate China right?

You made it your life purpose to only post this kind of stuff. A committed person for sure.

That’s in the docs right?

Good to know about the majority with GD script. That means it will be easier to find tutorials and scripts without needing .net.

Thanks, I’ll check it.

I’m not a programmer so I won’t go very far anyway with the scripts. Plus I’d rather not get involved with anything related to microsoft if I don’t have to, even if it’s open source.

And I’m amazed at how small Godot is. The .net extra seems to be much bigger than the engine itself.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

3D. I’m hoping it’s mature enough now. Seeing the release notes it seems that only recently they have some things unity always had, but I’m not expecting parity. It will be just a hobby. But maybe I can make something nice. Plus, it’s open source so that’s awesome.

That’s amazing!

I was thinking of doing something similar with a battery fan and that video will help.

I don’t care at all as long as it’s not below inflation.

I have my super with australian ethical and banking with great southern bank, but I’m sure both still invest in israeli companies and the like. If anyone have better suggestions I’d love to hear. From my researches I couldn’t find much.

I’m much more worried about helping criminals get richer than to make a profit.

It’s a vicious cycle when you’re depressed. Internet helps to ignore the horrible life you want to forget, but it also ensures your life stay horrible. I’ve been there. When you’re not on the internet draining your brain you feel much worse.

Some people use alcohol or drugs instead. I’m just coming out of 4 months like that and I don’t know what I could have done instead, when you just don’t have the will to do anything, not even to kill yourself. Internet doesn’t require any will.
