This thread from a couple of weeks ago (specifically for kbin users) attempted to answer the same question. 'Kbinauts' seems to be the favourite but personally I think 'Kbinners' ('KTrashcans' for the yanks) best.

With the endless ethical and legal issues around GenAI, I would very much hope that Valve continues being cautious (even if it's evidently just to cover their own arses). Once we have models and datasets for AI generated game assets that are trained from entirely ethical sources (artist permissions, licences, etc.) and not just the "scrape everything and train our models from that" approach that is currently used, then maybe it could be a good thing for games. Even still, the generated assets will likely have no copyright (as is the case now), so we'll surely end up at "AI generated content flip games" flooding Steam.

ooo lovely. 1, 4 and 6 are my favourites.
you should do a "kbinaut" style one but with the bird in a bin for the "kbinners" : D

Since Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project #3 came out on Saturday morning (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter) that's what I'm reading for the next week.

Fury Road is so close to a perfect movie

 

Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can't prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on

I do believe that Mastodon supports Elasticsearch/Opensearch OOTB, so you're not wrong on NoSQLs being fediverse compatible.
Personally I haven't looked into the kbin stack so I can't give an opinion as to why psql is used over X.

i'm currently in that "need to change fonts" phase again across all my editors and this is now my top choice

 

question about this magazine: would it be more sensible to redirect people to post sales links (e.g. the weekly EGS free game) into https://kbin.social/m/gamedeals instead of likely potential dupe posts here (that has at least already happened)?

It's very cute! But flocks of cockatoos are deafening and I'm sure someone could read into that somehow 😅

binners/kbinners are my favourites by far
