  • not the same image, but op's image is an ai upscale of the one you linked. the tells are

    1. the background is red instead of white
    2. the pattern on the sleeves is similar, but different.
    3. the original is flipped horizontally, and the upscale doesn't know that, so it tries to "fix" the numbers of the pocketwatch, turning the flipped "IX" into... "N"

  • it took a while though... they managed to poison one or tvo communities already.

    really, this is a failure of government. they should have verified that the service provider lived up to their claims.

    • Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

    Jump

  • how do we know no money was involved? both the new owners apparently work at the same company, which was recently created and is a subsidiary of a vc firm.

    • Most insane laptops?

    Jump

  • yes. yes it is.

    • LibreOffice backs campaign to help users move from Windows 10 to Linux – and ditch Office, too

    Jump

  • well, not fine. it's still ms office. but it works.

  • the web version works.

  • i mean it may tie in, but it doesn't fit with the track after if it just continues the metaphor.

  • Dragonfly Futurefön

    the design is insane, the people behind it are insane, the story is double-insane.

    • Project Gemini FAQ

    Jump

  • i do, all the time. there was a time where everyone was putting up personal websites and doing basic html. the entire geocities wave is proof of that. it was already decentralised.

  • the main thing is that, while gopher was designed under a set of limitations, gemini is designed off of a set of opinions. actively breaking backward compatibility is one of them i do not agree with.

    of course it doesn't need to sell to anyone. people working on it presumably like it. the difference is that gopher predates the web, so its sales pitch matched that of the web.

    gemini's sales pitch is that it's a simplified version of the web, which i can respect, but their choice of not making it a subset of a standard means that it fails to be a viable alternative to the web, because that standard is so ubiquitous.

  • what the fuck?

    • Project Gemini FAQ

    Jump

  • still not sold on gemini. the project has sort of a holier-than-thou smell to it, striving for the sort of technological purity that makes it unattractive to use. i would still choose gopher.

  • they were first.

    • Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it

    Jump

  • yeah but i'm no longer interested. the mismatch between the world and the combat made me feel like the game was built as a trap, the cute visuals luring people in to punish them. it left a bad taste in my mouth.
