@PraxisOfEvil You mean the actor who played Sleepy Joe. The real Joe Biden is probably dead. The guy who was acting as president is NOT the same person as the Vice President during the Obama administration. Just look at the earlobes.

Fedi is nothing like it was when I first signed up. I am sick of the constant dogpiling and drama. How about we ?

To say you have a claim to my property is to say you have a claim to the labor I performed to obtain it. To say you have a claim to my labor is to say that I am your slave.

A society that elevates the 'common good' above the rights of the individual makes individuals slaves to the collective.

"Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel." - Ayn Rand

"If you would not confront your neighbor and demand his money at the point of a gun to solve every new problem that may appear in your life, you should not allow the government to do it for you." ~ William E. Simon

“To lay with one hand the power of government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it on favored individuals .... is none the less robbery because it is .... called taxation.” - US Supreme Court in Loan Association v. Topeka (1874)

Here's a fun bug I found... Our engine likes to crash if you delete objects too quickly. NOOO idea how as the physics ticks can never exceed the game logic rate and the deletion queue is run exactly once before each tick. So few objects in the game I doubt I missed anything in the destruction that would lead to this... but here you go, somehow I managed to break it anyway :P

So it turns out that ChatGPT can't generate sheet music from audio. I assume it could given that it can generate LilyPond files. So I have to use some specialized tool to generate MIDI files for instrument conversion.

The AI tools are all proprietary and are subscription-based. My only other option is some online MP3 to MIDI converter.

It shouldn't be too hard because all I need is to record a short fanfare for my game. I already have a kazoo ordered which I will use to record it and then convert the thing to MIDI so it can be played with better instruments.

>The same Eurovision controversy happened again this year

I know next to nothing about EV, but why is a non-European country even allowed to participate in the first place?

Also, they apparently ban pride flags on stage and people are mad about that. Who gives a shit?

@beardalaxy Don't worry. I have a Plan B:

* Record a fanfare using a kazoo
* Use ChatGPT to translate it into sheet music
* Use said sheet music to synthesize it using better instruments

I already have a fanfare in my head. I was planning on using it for a much better game, but whatever.

Brainstorming ideas for fantasy creatures. Mostly throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

1) the first one looks generic
2) the turnip person looks cool, although I'm pretty sure it has been done before
3) the third thing is the most interesting, but I can't help but feel the design is too busy. Maybe if I remove some of the leafy things it'll work

There should be this thing called "negative tips". If a waiter, barber, or any type of service worker doesn't satisfy you enough, you can take a cut of their paycheck.

The Fediverse will (currently) never be as good as RSS because RSS feeds don't discriminate between readers.
The feed doesn't care who's reading the information (or what naughty opinions the reader has) but much of the Fediverse operates completely differently.
