  • [DISC] 【OSHI NO KO】 - Chapter 126

    Jump

  • I see Aka-sensei is done playing Apex.

    The doctor and Serena didn't get much screen time but I feel like Aqua and Ruby are distinct characters just with similar traits. So seeing Ruby be wilfully ignorant despite being shown to be very smart when she applies herself, I feel like it's almost... forced? I can't explain it exactly but it gives me a really bad vibe, like I'm underestimating the shitstorm that's about to happen.

    I don't think I'm overthinking this but I could be completely wrong.

  • Unity reveals plans to charge per game install, drawing criticism from development community

    Jump

  • Yeah my device struggled to run any major engines so Godot kinda saved my ass when I first got into gamedev many years ago. I was going to start learning the major engines now that I have slightly better hardware, but I guess I'm skipping Unity now.

  • Unity reveals plans to charge per game install, drawing criticism from development community

    Jump

  • I looked through the announcement post and all I can say is that this is beyond absurd. Can they even legally apply these changes retroactively? All these relatively large indie games used Unity. They can't exactly tear everything down and use another engine. They didn't even accept such terms at the time, so how can they suddenly be expected to pay for every download they get?

    And I was so excited to finally start learning Unity too... damn. I probably should have seen something like this coming way back when they announced their IPO. I was going to learn Unreal at some point as well but I guess I'll just uninstall Unity and skip right to UE5.

    There's definitely going to be huge action taken from every studio that used Unity in their games. I have a hard time believing that they'll get away with the retroactive part at least.

  • why isn't there an option for "soft adblock" for subscribed yt channels?

    Jump

  • No, I still keep ublock enabled and still use revanced on my phone (RYD, sponsorblock, qol improvements). None of these actually prevent youtube from tracking your view, since the view counter still goes up and the video appears in your watch history.

  • why isn't there an option for "soft adblock" for subscribed yt channels?

    Jump

  • Yes. This is 100% true for youtube and really any proprietary service with paid tiers. The greed is obvious and premium is only a little better than the alternative because creators are still being screwed over but slightly less. I only partially blame it on a large amount of people getting used to free content. But until there's something clearly better, I'd rather do this at least since it's still a net positive. In the meantime, I'll participate in FOSS communities and try to contribute to alternatives so that it doesn't stay this way.

  • why isn't there an option for "soft adblock" for subscribed yt channels?

    Jump

  • I don't know how popular this take is, but I pay for premium and feel like it's worth it. Granted, it's super cheap in my region and I get the student discount on top of that. I'm not a creator but last I checked, premium revenue is a little higher than ad revenue and isn't affected by demonetization.

    There are multiple factors that convinced me to get premium and ads weren't one of them, since I've been using ublock and Vanced/ReVanced for years.

    • Many creators I watch make excellent, high effort content but get demonetized for not being brand safe.
    • I use youtube a lot. I'll be the first to try fediverse alternatives of anything, but unfortunately, youtube isn't something replaced so easily simply because the creators still need money to make the content I enjoy. That's reality.
    • I can afford premium but not Patreon/merch/memberships/superchats frequently enough to matter if at all.

    Content on the internet hasn't been free for a long time. It's been funded by shady and user-unfriendly means like ads, harvesting data and affiliate links. It's just that the money from these sources has started to dry up recently and people are panicking. I think the web monetization api has great potential if made easily and widely accessible, since I'm sure that a significant portion of people are perfectly willing to pay a little bit monthly for a better experience and to support the content they consume. I'm looking at using it in a project of mine as well.

  • WOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

    I'm beyond thrilled right now! I've been hoping for an anime adaptation ever since I saw this panel in chapter 92.

    I wonder which studio is doing the adaptation.

  • Ok but what is an actually good solution to the whole AI art debacle?

    Jump

  • Agreed. Even if technically it's probably maybe fair use, it's not in spirit. Taking Copilot as an example, it doesn't matter if the training data was open source (and some of it most likely wasn't), the AGPL is copyleft and people choose it to propogate free software. Even if the AI may or may not be in violation of the licence legally, it's 100% not in the spirit of foss since the model is proprietary.
