  • This is exactly why I just could not get into mastodon, and probably Twitter-likes in general

    There’s no way, atleast at the time, to sort by top of the day. No way to see what was trending across the larger fediverse, no real way to find new and interesting things every hour on the hour

    Lemmy is thankfully significantly better with this, and it’s honestly become my go-to social app now








  • IMO I’d call “AI Artists” a type of Art Director, since they themselves don’t make the art but instead direct and dictate what exactly they want, and if the result is different they tweak their wording to direct the art into a different direction

    Art Directing, whether for a human or a machine or otherwise, is still a skill itself and still has to be learned to get good results, but it’s distinctly different from making the art yourself so I wouldn’t call them “Artists” outright


  • Yeah, I had absolutely no idea what “ricing” was even supposed to mean, like it doesn’t look like it’s short for anything, doesn’t seem like an acronym for anything, it’s not analogous or synonymous with anything, I can’t see how “rice” is supposed to be metaphorical at all to cool looking linux desktops, and it’s not an entirely new word like “rizz” or “yeet”

    So by all accounts it’s an absolutely unfitting word for what it’s describing

    Knowing the racist history of the term now, yeah that makes sense and yeah I vote we move to an objectively better term

    Idk what tho, maybe “decore” cuz it actually describes that the focus is the look, that the DE is the Core of the setup, and sounds cooler than “rice”

    “Decore” and “Decorizing” is probably the terms I’m personally gonna use atleast

    Edit: unless I find a better term, I came up with this one on the stop
