Oh no, people don’t like inhumane hellscape capitalism? So weird!

And rightly so, devs need to eat.

PoE2 came out in early access on Friday and with a bit of tinkering (had to switch to Proton 7, for others it runs with DX12 not Vulkan) I can play on Linux woth no problems. What a time to be alive! 🤭

Is this working for you via Optanium? For me Optanium can’t find a suitable release 😿

German here, did Erasmus exchange in Istanbul, Turkey while at art / design school. While the university there was to, uh … practical? advertisement focussed? capitalist? for my liking it still was one of the best things I’ve done in my life so far. Met so many cool people from different backgrounds, learned a lot about social skills / relationships, the music, the food, it is (was? It was like 15 years ago, before Erdogan) an amazing city. Can def recommend.

I hate Christmas markets with a passion (lots of people, awful music, cheap food, alcohol etc.) but I’ve been to a few local art and crafts markets in the last weeks and it was amazing, so many friendly and absurdly talented artists, can recommend.

Oh, I think I’ve seen their adaption of Brave New World in a library somewhere:

Not a huge fan of the style but could be good.

Lol, the hardcoded linebrakes, haven’t seen that for a while, what a glorious mess.

Tumblr is is such a goldmine sometimes, thanks for that.

Tbh it does not look much like a dinosaur / T-Rex to more like a chicken (flag?). BUt then again birds being the last dinosaurs etc …

I’m on a server with downvotes disabled but I would downvote any AI slob. It’s hurting artists (stealing their work to train models, getting less jobs) only benefitting already rich white techbros, very energy intensive so increasing climate crisis, etc. Especially in a community about the appreciation of real craft (writing and drawing comics) I think it’s super distasteful to use AI.
