Veloxization

Addy.io gives you email aliases as not to expose your actual email address. Everything gets funnelled into a single inbox of your choosing still. And the great thing is that if you use a unique email alias for all services, you know instantly who leaked your email address if you start getting spam. :D

Reminds me of the grim (or beautiful, depending on how you look at it) practice of photographing the deceased, especially children, during the Victorian era. Dressed up and posed, sometimes with living family in the same photo. Part of the reason being the exact fact that they wouldn’t move during the shot.

So am I understanding you correctly? When I develop open-source software and put it on GitHub, the license, which GitHub offers you to set, is actually irrelevant because since the code is on a public website, it’s somehow automatically public domain?

I actually don’t know since I ran it before the API changes. It may be limited now that API usage is limited, depending on how it works.

I started drawing seriously when I was 14. Looking at my old artwork, I didn’t start improving fast until I was around 19 or 20. Not to say I didn’t improve at all during those five to six years but the pace did get faster once I had “learned to learn” so to say. That is to say it can take a lot of patience to get to a point where you actually start seeing improvement fast enough to stay motivated. But it is 100% worth it because at the end you have a lot of things you have created with your own two hands.

And regarding the point on physical limitations, I can’t blame anyone in a situation like that for using AI if they have no other chance for realising their imaginations. For others, it is completely possible and not reserved for people who have some mythical innate talent. Just grab a pen or a brush and enjoy the process of honing a fine skill regardless of the end result. ❤️

This whole AI craze has just shown me that people are losing faith in their own abilities and their ability to learn things. I’ve heard so many who use AI to generate “artwork” argue that they tried to do art “for years” without improving, and hence have come to conclusion that creativity is a talent that only some have, instead of a skill you can learn and hone. Just because they didn’t see results as fast as they’d have liked.

No worries here. Just showing that alternative formats exist to anyone who doesn’t want to post Steven Crowder.

There’s a sentence I did not expect to read today, but kinda did expect to read someday.

Which is why I am happy to have email aliases. Alias gets leaked? No problem. I’ll just delete that one and make a new one for that service. Scammers and spammers have a useless email address and I still have my clean inbox.

Oh… Um…

Formerly known as Calckey. Twitter replacement similarly to Mastodon. Also uses ActivityPub.

I’m glad to hear this. I absolutely loved the Pet Pal talent from Divinity OS2. :D

I’m here for it as well but sticking with FOSS. However, I’ll say use whatever app you want. The wonderful thing about the Fediverse is that they actually give you the option to do that!

So glad I’m no longer on any social media platforms where these people hunt. I left Facebook (for unrelated reasons) shortly after I got an invite to someone’s Oriflame page. :D
