personally? pc specific info

not hardware news so much, although i do think it's on-topic; but

  • pc port reports
  • modding news and info
  • technical support
  • pc exclusive releases
    • including mainly maybe indie games? although that's not super on-topic
  • other pc specific news (i.e. news about steam, epic, itch, etc.)

i don't really care about big name releases - if i wanted that there's always !games@lemmy.world and !games@sh.itjust.works, although i think they get enough publicity anyways

but i haven't actually posted anything here so my opinion's not that important

now whilst i know why people like webp, maybe we could stop using formats owned by google..

until jpegxl becomes viable (which it mainly isn't because it compete[s/d] with webp), lets stick to nice formats not owned by tech giants, like apng^?^

oh by the way - lemmy supports footnotes[^1] (in two different formats, too)^[note the differing positions of the caret]

i don't think that's necessarily falling for it, it's appreciating it for what it is. i personally don't see the nothing as equivalent to oneplus[^1], but if it was the modern equivalent to the op1 or op3 i think it'd be worth getting. i have no brand loyalty to 1+ (i doubt i'll ever buy another 1+ phone) but damn if the op1 wasn't the best value for money phone i ever bought.

[^1]: the only similarity is the "close-to-stock" rom as far as i can see, and oneplus didn't even do that until all the issues with cyanogen

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i bought my current phone because of its headphone jack


this is mostly about bluetooth, but some of it applies to usb-c + dongle:

i have a cheap pair of earphones in my pocket (which i'm prepared to lose). another by the door. a more expensive set of headphones upstairs. a speaker in the kitchen. and when i get in a friend's car or go to their house, i can just plug my phone in and it works without the aggravation of having to pair to their speaker

tell me, oh "you can just buy a dongle" people, what am i supposed to do? buy one and accept that i'll lose it all the time? buy 5 and keep one plugged into every 3.5mm i own and don't own?

plus, y'know - takes slightly more battery, hassle to pair, can't charge and use dongle, all the other obvious issues

fairphone would be so good if it had a headphone jack. but it seems really weird to me to launch a "sustainable phone" without a jack

#titlebar { display: none !important; }?

but more seriously you might be able to debug using the browser toolbox (ctrl+alt+shift+i); or you might try asking on !FirefoxCSS@fedia.io (or !Firefox@fedia.io)

It’s a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.

yeah, there is also a matrix space where i'm doing anything i can democratically as well

I apologize for making assumptions. It is most definitely a good idea to not have the whole of Lemmies Imaginary communities depend on a single persons whims

don't apologise! (i did steal their naming convention as well)

Though I’ve personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.

neither did i; but better safe than sorry and all that (also i just made !imaginarytrains@lemm.ee because nobody else would, and it's just sort of snowballed from there - i didn't know if people would have beef with me, so i don't want to dictate what happens everywhere)

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

i'm afraid i am going to (i mean removal is reversible on lemmy i think)

i can't quite put my finger on why, but i think it feels more like a concept than a piece of art? and i don't know what's the difference as art can be commercial and commissioned, but it doesn't sit right and i feel like if this was allowed there'd be no end of _"the latest mercedes concept car"_s on !imaginaryvehicles

i'm sorry again though

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

that's a good point actually, i'd never considered that...

although i'd guess not – the earth is very big – but it might influence water & tides a bit

thank you, but they're very much unofficial by design (i'm not associated with the reddit ine, and i get the impression they've no interest in lemmy):

i think most of the imaginary network on reddit was the same [group of] mod[s] - i'm deliberately not doing that, and letting each lemmysphere do their own thing (hence the "federated"). this is a descriptive not prescriptive group, and this is mostly for easy discovery for people who are interested

now, their linktree and deviantart descriptions proclaim that deviantart and ourartcorner are the only official places; but there is an artstation that looks official; but i cannot vouch for it

Cover artwork that I did for Imperial Fists - Bastion Strike Force

now i imagine most people have seen this before, but i used it for the lemmysphere banner because the composition fitted alright, so i thought i may as well post it

imperial fist with a grey helmet and a red imperialis on the chest, holding a greatshield with an embedded skeleton; wielding a sword primaris imperial fist with a sniper eye attachment turning away from camera; holding a bolter

 

A friend of mine has his own Chapter color scheme for his tabletop Space Marine figures, he calls them the Argent Knights.

I needed a paintjob for this model and ran out of ideas, so I decided to do a tribute to his little guys, following his metal-and-blue color setup. He had an idea for their logo, a laurel-wreathed sword, but no visual examples of it, so I had the honor of realizing that.

The shield and gun are leftovers from my Source engine days, upgraded with PBR and detail maps.

honestly i don't know the advantage of this chonky boi over a terminator, but i think he looks cool anyways (and the aquila helmet looks much better than a terminator helmet)

This time I wanted to make some classic cyberpunk and also add a little narrative.

Beriev Be-15 was designed to fly thru immediate residual radioactive material propelled into the atmosphere following a nuclear blast. Its primary goal was to assess damage and measure levels of radioactivity in the atmosphere. Collected data would later be used to determine whether a specific area is habitable or not.

The ability to immediately fly thru the fallout of radioactive dust and ash was provided by heavy lead shielding around the crew area.

Clean air was provided by two Vedeneyev Gama VG-201 air scrubbers located on each side of the fuselage.

It was designed as a low speed low altitude aircraft, propelled by four Shvetsov radial engines. That was necessary due to plane's weight. Only one aircraft was built.

  • Model: Beriev Be-15 (Академик Сергей Королев)
  • NATO reporting name: Moth-B
  • Year: 1958
  • Crew: Two
  • Length: 11.26 m (36 ft 11½ in)
  • Wingspan: 9.63 m (31 ft 7 in)
  • Height: 3.80 m (12 ft 5½ in)
  • Wing area: 22.6 m² (243.3 ft²)
  • Weight: 5,846 kg (12,880 lb)
  • Powerplant: 4 × Shvetso
