Tbh I go back to peertube any time I hit a performance issue. Which is more often then you would think, but I think it’s because I’m a Firefox user with adblock.

For real the upload date is super needed in tech data because stuff gets updating so much

No doubt. The gap between designers and non technical users is a collaborative space that doesn’t seem to me meet by foss but does seem meet by companies like Adobe using the massive amount of feedback sources and teams of designer does meet.
I, a “technical” user, find FOSS UX way better to me, but I can read and underatand issues on git, make merge requests, and even read some code to grasp how something should be working. That UX for shaping the actual program UX doesn’t work for the “non-technical” crowd.
Sorry if I’m just ranting now lol, it’s just something I keep trying to iterate when these issues pop up, hoping something comes up with a good solution.
So far it’s education (grow the technical user base and bam better UX for FOSS!), commercial support and have support feedback for users, and maybe adaptive UXs using some kind ml feedback mechanism.
Honestly though we are doing the former and money is the limit to success (why pay for free? Is a hard sell for a product that isn’t quite what someone wants yet).
The latter I just haven’t seen a clean enough setup to start hacking with myself, and honestly means getting the metric collection for a lot of FOSS apps squared up first.

There are frenemies in the some markets for sure. But no “the marketplace” is a collaborative thing, corporations are collaborative ventures, etc
Almost every human experience is marked by systems of collaboration, even if competition is also allowed within that system.
Also agreed, and again fuck Adobe.

Sorry I should have specified. That Photoshop is irreplaceable but Blender is pretty good for professional use.
Thanks for sharing, sorry your work flow and experience is messy with it. I’m just a part of the community, but it’s always interesting to hear where different work flows do and don’t work for others.
UX and front ends is such a fuzzy field for me to wrap my head around. So much is done by intuition before hand or after viewing analytics.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
Huh, I normally hear the opposite. What are some features of 3dsmax that blender is missing for you?
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
The whole UX of using a computer is a collaborative project between hardware, os, and apps (and maybe networks). Any friction in that process is born in part by both sides.
I know what you are saying, and fuck Adobe, but the friction of Adobe products not working well on Linux is because Linux isn’t made to work well with corporate driven drm software. Unlike Microsoft, the Linux foundation isn’t likely to make a backroom deal to ensure that Linux will be developed in a way to keep their drm private and help them strip the rights of their users.
That leads to friction it is Linuxs fault for not accepting Adobes bs here. As it is also Adobes fault for sacrificing technical excellence in lu of artificial scarcity.

I honestly cannot tell you the last time I ran windows to do anything. Like I’ll have to do some tinkering on the steam deck soon for the first time in a long time to get the sims playing for my SO, but that is still way easier then maintaining another whole OS, especially like windows where they hit my fam with UX updates that piss them off.

Also on niche side because it’s a realtime encrypted data server you can also use it for transferring ANY realtime data, such as games and VR (see thirdroom.io/landing).
It really sets it apart to other federated systems like ActivityPub, or email to me, which those systems are better for eventually consistent data federation.

- Comment on Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges 1 month ago:
My HP is good, but it’s one of the liquid ink ones instead of cartridges. Got for PPS support so I new it would just print things on my network.
Wish I had a open source option though. And or at least a manufacturer that was possibly using slave labor (made in China and all that).
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I lied about my age online a WHILE ago and I’m going to let you know old farts get bombarded too.
Its gotten better since my old persona died I think (you know over 120 is just out of most marketers age ranges).
I hate ads with a passion, if a friend shows me a video and an ad pops up I show them how to use fence and ad blockers on their phone right away.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I remember there was like a twilight where yelp was helpful, then it wasn’t and I learned all their shady shit and went “yeah that explains it”.
Reddit has a longer amount of content to burn through but if it becomes just husks of communities puppetted by corporate pr firms it’s going to just slowly cannibalize.

If can protest in a way that drives engagement makes are numbers better it’s allowed. Lmao what clowns.
Its like the king says you can send him extra grain as a protest for this years unfair taxes

Right it begs the question.
Is me not receiving care or having access to care REALLY better for me?
If the answer can’t clearly be yes, then they are just choosing to make me ill or kill me for their perceived interests.

- Comment on Some basic info about USB 2 months ago:
Maybe optional opt out? Like to say you are usb-4 you have to have this format and support all of these features. Other you are USB 4 W/O x,y,z,PD,Video,etc. I also think PD levels should be labeled on power sources and sinks.
- Comment on Some basic info about USB 2 months ago:
“Power-only” meaning no data BEYOND the PD devices themselves because its actually a data protocol to negotiate the power output to the device.

What is a good alt for cloudflare here tbh?
I’ve done wire guard, and tor service to obfuscate the network, and crowdsec for a good external firewall, and linkerd gateway to actual services (and keycloak for sso).
Besides adding gotelaport for more fine grained access, idk what else you could do, but even then idk if its still competitive as someone else’s network taking your ddos loads lol

I mean saying they learn is huge kudos to the people that made this tbh

LLM are just text predictions based on what people would say in available digital works (like comments). Its honestly a fascinating glimpse in online sociology.

Right! Like if we could honestly further enhance that feature its an incredible increase in compression tech!
- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 2 months ago:
This would be like playing DnD where you see a painting and describe what you would do next as if you were the painting and they an artists painted the next scene for you.
The artists isn’t rolling dice, following the rule book, or any actual game elements they ate just painting based on the last painting and your description of the next.
Its incredibly nove approchl if not obviously a toy problem.
- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 2 months ago:
Honestly I thinkyour self driving example is something this could be really cool for. If the generation can exceed real time (I.e. 20 secs of future image prediction can happen in under 20 secs) then you can preemptively react with the self driving model and cache the results.
If the compute costs can be managed maybe even run multiple models against each other to develop an array likely branch predictions (you know what I turned left)
Its even cooler that player input helps predict the next image.
