This seems… really poorly thought out, tbh. Tons of major studios are already using generative AI content as part of their creative pipelines. Photoshop has their new “generative fill” tool that is going to become more and more standard. The line between AI and not-AI is already blurry as hell, and going to get blurrier. Banning it outright is not remotely sustainable.

Hmm, that could be an option - will look into it, thanks :)

Are there any in particular you would recommend? I know a friend who has a 3d printer who I could probably ask for a favour, but I wouldn’t know where to start…

Slay the Spire is a fantastic roguelike deckbuilding game, and I think the mobile version is around that pricepoint

“Wow, look at these great metrics! With all these new user uploads, people must really love our site.”

Wait, what? First I’m hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?

I like to tell friends I’ve been busy recharging my brain cells lol

Doing a proper paint job is on the eternal to-do list graveyard, haha. Maybe one day, but nah for now they’re all still the basic single colour plastic they shipped as.

Yep - https://famichiki.jp/@Tsutsuku/110537730270070245

Could you share that tool? Seems useful

Advertisers are starting to take notice, it seems. Gotta keep the blackout running longer to hit em in their pocketbooks - 2 days they can weather out, indefinite dark they cannot. It’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning, a protest with a clearly defined end date has no teeth.

Welp. Wish I could say I was surprised. Time for the handful of power mods still licking admin boots to get even more subs under their belt, I guess. No way that could possibly end badly…

Talk is cheap, I’m reserving any kind of judgement til they release results.

I mean, realistically I’ll probably stay on both. There are tons of great reddit communities that just don’t exist here, at least not yet, and I’m genuinely sad to be losing them. Reddit has been a part of my daily routine for well over a decade now, and that’s not something I can just give up easily. I do really like the vibes here at Lemmy, but it’s got a lot more growing to do before it can fully replace all the wonderful different niches that reddit was able to fill so well.

It’s real uncomfortable, not gonna lie. I’ve been checking reddit daily for well over a decade now, and it’s incredibly disorienting to have that suddenly not be an option anymore. I really, really hope they change their minds about pushing through these asinine API changes so I can go back to using RIF like before, but if not, I’d way rather get used to Lemmy than get used to the official Reddit app and reward them for their scummy business practices.

If reddit actually reverses course on the API stuff, then hell yeah I’m going back. But if the sub just reopens after the blackout without any substantive change, nah I’m staying here.
