That is actually an excellent point! I’m imagining a Lydia from Skyrim who would actually comment on your actual quest progression without just resorting to canned responses.

While I’m sure there will be a lot of false starts with this tech and it will take a while to iron out the kinks, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. This will probably be similar to the switch from small, limited world maps in games to expansive open-worlds. It’s going to be a massive boost to immersion and will probably lead to some hilarious bugs/unexpected behaviours. Can’t wait!

Surprised nobody’s said The Division yet. The first one is incredible fun IMO, and the second one is good, but not as much fun.

I seem to be missing a bottle of vodka

Maybe your 10 year old has it?

Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.

I did not know that, I’ll check out the other options, thanks!

Oops, yeah, I did!

I’ve been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don’t understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It’s really unfortunate that it’s mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥

Oh shit, I remember watching Gumbo Slice backyard street fights back in the day. Didn’t realize this was meant to be him!

I know about Mastodon instances run by the government, but are there any lemmy instances run by governments?

Oh, that makes it even more hilarious!

Yeah, but I thought he was drawing a parallel between Wizard of Oz and something else, i.e. Elsa is the wicked witch of the East. If it’s older than Frozen, then it’s probably not that!

Hilarious! Is he talking about the Frozen sisters?

Funnily enough, I block very liberally.

I find that having the option to block by keywords, instances, communities and users let’s me curate my feed exactly as I want. What I wouldn’t want is for the blocks to be too broad of a brush (like in the users of instances example), which would lead to missing out on valuable conversations.

Strongly disagree. I want to block certain instances from my feed to remove posts I’m not interested in (eg NSFW, repost bots), but I have nothing against the users.

If users are blocked too, please add that behind a setting toggle.

The examples are really good! While not perfect, in really happy that thale model is not completely ignoring large parts of the prompt like most image generation models do.

I don’t have any particular complaints about the speed of Lemmy development or which features the devs are prioritizing or shutting down. Since there are two primary devs who are working on a pretty complex Rust codebase, it is going to take time for new contributors to understand it inside out as well as they do. The philosophy of a codebase is also very important for maintainers to guard, as just adding code or features without an overarching vision can lead to chaos.

Having said that, I’m strongly in favour of multiple forks of the Lemmy backend bring developed. This allows new features, visions, optimizations, etc to be developed quickly and a lot of diverse opinions and philosophies to be entertained, exactly as we’re seeing with instances. Alternative UIs are another example of the benefits of this approach.

This also allows Lemmy maintainers to see which changes are beneficial, and merge them back into the main codebase much more easily. For example, if a fork has 10x the performance with half the resource usage, it’ll be an easy sell to merge back in.

Edit: typo
Edit 2: shutting down, not shitting down 🤦

lol, I searched for this post title 😛
