Have a look at NextGen and Maya And The Three on Netflix. Both were produced with Blender as the central 3D tool by my old employer, Tangent Animation. We delivered Maya in 2021; Blender has been in production for years. Tangent produced

Ludicrous abstraction story. I was once managing a few large file servers, with bog standard users as well as devs using a pretty complex directory tree of "assets". There was a pretty high-up, specific directory level, which was

Mastodon is an actual social network at the moment, but the ongoing flood of Twitter emigres have triggered a culture war that is getting some really funky permutations.

I'm more indifferent than hostile, but you don't need to become an admin. You do, however, have to find the instance that's right for you, and that will take effort. The only thing I would have a problem with them doing with

I was led to believe you could; when I left the main instance, I downloaded my data and have been planning to try uploading it to my new one but have not yet done so. But that's whey they have an export and import page. But your case i

I replied to myself above, but it seems that there's a delay between a comment appearing and the ability to reply. My bad, OP, you are not censorious. edit: and you, speaking directly, did not advocate for Twitter. I was way off on tha

I'm not sure what's my favorite part of this question, but I think it's the fact that you undoubtedly have, like me, agreed to all sorts of outlandish terms on corporate EULAs. You saw the South Park episode, what they call

It's strange, but I think I figured it out - there's some sort of delay, seemingly, between a response appearing in the thread and the option to reply being there. So let me leave my wrong statement above intact and add that OP di

Oh, also... >How many of the 1.8 million monthly active Mastodon users are doing weekly backups of their Mastodon data? I obviously do not have that information, but I would say this: Anyone who makes a habit of actually exploring the Pr

Again though, you need to examine your expectations here. These are not Admins who have qualified for a job - some might happen to be that, but most are not. Most are just people who want this to happen, again, and are doing their best. Tha

That is not an unreasonable assumption, no, for a service . I would posit that your error is in thinking of Mastodon as a service, rather than a community of people trying to get away from using "services" to live our lives throu

This fellow wants the same experience from a completely different system, seems to me, which is also the reason that the Twitter people have had so much static from the Mastodon people - it's a different place, with different things go

This smells like corporate propaganda to me. Notice how there is no "about us" page that tells you who created the page, who funds them, absolutely no way to attach this site to any living human?

This being ycombinator, before I would attempt to get on the same page with you, I would need to know your income level and how much time you spend walking on sidewalks without bodyguards. We exist in very different realities; mine is infor

Funnily enough, we are once again faced with a choice between rational socialism of the kind that was implemented in the USA in the 1930s, or fascism of the kind that was implemented in various other places in the 1930s. At that time, Ameri

There have been no options besides that paradigm. Laptops in the 90s had swappable batteries, as did phones. It's perfectly doable. You have the scent of someone with Apple stock.

Far as I'm concerned, medical devices should be "nationalized" to the degree that all designs are 100% open from the most easily-sourceable parts available and must be 100% interoperable. DRM should be outlawed rather than en

At the moment, we are definitely changing - it will either be the introduction of socialism at a reasonable level, or completely unreasonable fascism.

Why was that? Couldn't source enough. Why was that? Supply chains stretched so taut that a single disruption shut the whole world down. Why was that? Profit. Capitalism is the problem.

Perhaps they should design the machines so that they are user-serviceable. This was the default at one point. Look at the manual for any home appliance from the 1950s. The difficulty in replacing an iphone screen is not that it's hard

The mainstream was extremely socialist in the 1930s. I wonder what sort of conditions prefaced that shift...
