Paps needs to walk from his room to a car, wait for you, the player to sit with him into said car, and then drive you across a town to a completely different location. Seamlessly.
The challenge for Dani's Race is deliberately not to be a movie. As in the game should not have cuts, nor there ever should be a moment when the player loses control over the character. Yet through all those limitations I want to continue a story I started in an actual movie. Which is kind of compli...
We all love some mayhem when it comes to playing games. And nothing makes car games more satisfying than damage models. RockStar Games understood it early on, and all GTA games have breakable cars. Today some of the most popular car games like BeamNG.drive holding on a realism of damage models almos...
Funny, I chose UPBGE for 4 reasons, non of which effect depsgraph much:
- EEVEE
- I know how to use Blender
- The GPL License ( because I want my game to be GPL'd too )
- I know how to use Python
So I never felt like I'm missing out on Geonodes or whatever. And depsgraph was only an interesting challenge to tackle.
You see things like 'Physics', 'Logic' and even 'Rasterizer' and you immediately understand what you need to do to optimize you game. But 'Depsgraph'?... It looks like a mysterious thing that nobody knows nothing about. Yet is it one the most problematic things there is in your game. And you are goi...
There is a certain sense among cinephiles that the danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier is nothing but an edge lord, making his films simply as a sort of pornography designed to outrage people. It does not help his case that his films are some of the hardest films to watch. And it doesn't help that his m...
Until yesterday I thought that street lights was impossible to make, so I was trying to find some kind of other ways to brighten up the frame at night, so at least it would be visible, but yesterday I stumbled upon something that might work.
Not all those who handle data obey laws. Data leaks happen.
but wait a second. Privacy is good because it is a Freedom. And because it make Freedom as a whole more possible. But using software with which you have no freedom, kind of defeats the purpose. Like you gain +1 freedom points and lose -1 freedom points. It's net zero.
Transparency is good to see privacy, but if it is not Libre, you are not gaining any freedom.
I just woke up, I don't know if I am making any sense
But GreyJay isn't libre.
I use https://freetubeapp.io/
The film suffers from the same problem something like War Of The Worlds by Steven Spielberg suffers from. It is too good for its own good. You have so much dopamine from the good stuff that it overshadows any Norepinephrine from the scary stuff.
I'm trying to expose as much of my statistics to the public as possible
I'm making this thing called BDServer for my website blenderdumbass . org and I am coding some analytics tools for it right now, because apparently I found a new way to procrastinate.
I made some of the calls accessible to the public:
https://blenderdumbass.org/json/analytics/ua?days=10&skip_me=True&human_only=True
https://blenderdumbass.org/json/analytics/rss?days=10
https://blenderdumbass.org/json/analytics/totals
And also made a UI version: https://blenderdumbass.org/analytics
Am I going crazy?
The servers are a bit unstable. Usually a few minutes of waiting revives it.
There isn't anything particularly wrong with copying though. And copying isn't stealing.
The idea here, is that it is not a huge inconvenience for them to push just a little bit to become Free Software.
Richard Stallman very likes recursions. This is why GNU ( something he named ) is a recursive acronym. And GPL ( something he came up with ) is a recursive license.
I think copyleft was just something too clever not to try for Richard Stallman. But yeah, corporation are doing anything they can to get around it.
If they don't want to talk to me. Then it's fine. I wont talk to them either. I would work in a supermarket. They don't want me to sign nothing at all. And I can do my software on my own.
My view on this all is something like this:
- Users should have their freedoms to use, change, share the program. Even if they are doing it for profit. Even if those users are corporations.
- Copyleft is useful to make it so when those who share, share, their versions of the same program is also Libre. It is not about protecting the developer. It is to insure the user still has the freedom.
- One is not required to share. So if I make a version of the program that works for me, I am under no obligation to give anyone a copy of it. ( But under copyleft, if I do, I need this copy to be libre )
So I can withhold giving away my copy until I get paid. Basically I don't even release anything until I get what I want from the deal. And I can do that for every change I make. But as soon as I make what I wan and release it, everything is libre from the beginning.
I can use screenshots or videos to prove that I have a working piece of software. And tease what are the changes I made.
The question now is, can there be a platform to streamline this process?
legally binding non-disclosure agreements
I don't sign those.
to help open source projects like gnu or copy-left licenses
Copyleft was not designed to protect the developer from corporations. It was designed to protect users from developers.
a big part of me is sad that i will never become rich like my current colleagues
I know this feeling. I was finishing my film Moria's Race which is libre and will never make a single cent. And then I went to see Spielberg's Auto-Biographical film "The Fablemans" and it literally broke me. The amount of evil I have to agree to do just to have a chance at something like this. Oh my god. It didn't help to go see Avatar 2 right after that.
The worst is that a lot of people delude themselves that they are good. I don't think Spielberg is a bad person. The messages in his films seem to point that he is firmly on the side of freedom. Though he never thought about copyright, for example, as being anything evil yet. And probably if somebody will point it out to him, his age is such that there is probably very little neuro-plasticity left there, and if he somehow justified copyright all this time, it will be hard to convince him otherwise now. Not even talking about how his whole career is basically holding on the fact that copyright exists.
To do something about this whole apocalypse, we need to change values. GDP has to go away! Something like a freedom score should replace it. That will already force governments to divert from stupid ideas like "chat control". And perhaps will make them start supporting Free / Libre projects. And then of course, there should be ways to make money in Free / Libre to convince those who care only about how big their pockets are. Donations do not cut it. They are good, but they feel pathetic in comparison to what a proprietary alternative makes. There should be a way to make money without restricting freedom. Devices is a good start. Librem5 and PinePhone are amazing. Software is totally free. Maybe something like a reverse-crowd-funding could be implemented for simple software. Basically the changes aren't even released to begin with, until people come and fill up a can full of money. Each can send a cent or a million dollars. But the idea is, the developer chooses how much will unlock the release. And since it is unlocked it is totally free. And to avoid proprietary versions, until it is unlocked nobody has access apart from the devs.
how can I do the math? Do you have any links… I documented the math I did on this article: https://blenderdumbass.org/articles/Surveillance_Harms_1000_Times_More_Than_It_Helps.md
Are you the same Blender Dumbass 2.0 ?
I am the same blenderdumbass as in odysee.com/@blenderdumbass:f and as in blenderdumbass.org
I bought a phone for something like $20 which is very simple. It has no vibration. It has 65 KB of onboard storage. And it is not a smartphone. I don't even take it with me most of the time, because I know that nobody will call me anyway, so why bother. I use it very rarely. The most usage I have from it is calling, flashlight and maybe as a clock once every so often, since I have many actual clocks.
On the computer I use GNU / Linux. And I have no complaints.
So I don't understand why even bother with a smartphone in the first place?
PS: I would love to try Pinephone or Librem5 though.
