For those of you looking for adobe alternatives the affinity suite is quite good too, I don't think it is open source and it is not free but you can make a lifetime license purchase that is not really all that expensive, I think it is one of the best adobe alternatives at the moment because it is so similar both in tools and the ecosystem.

At the moment the rest are all ones that compete with specific adobe apps like darktable being better than lightroom as an example.

I like gimp but all of these software alternatives will just land in a similar spot where the only cohesiveness is that the files can be exported/imported between eachother.

Are you trying to say that the name of smoke signal all is cultural appropriation?

Nice didn't know this existed, plus its framasoft so its got more attached to it already than just a dev who started a thing recently

This cool new thing that was just created recently called smoke signal that is basically a fediverse alternative to website like meetup.com

Once I saw this I had realized what was missing from the fediverse experience and that this was it, local interaction!

Check out smoke signal!

no

i think that is a costume or mask or whatever

yep still not a non-human alien like what stupidcasey was suggesting

idk you posted the picture haha

just the eyes

this is a normal dude, just lots of facial skin humps and strong shadows, the things thst look like protruding eyes arr just eyebrows and eye bags which strong shadows from harsh lighting.

crazy thing i just realized, maybe im looking too much into it...in memory maze there is a reference to the bridge of doom which is another song from a different album...kinda like how kglw will reference future songs or albums, although those songs/albums came out the same year it seems idk about the same time but yeah haha

also the plot thickens. Doom Gong - DG-2 live at the 4:00 mark https://youtu.be/R9Fi7H7nCoA?si=LssDZKZGpN8UI6a4&t=240 sounds so much like KGLW - The River https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUZn1I6llJs

idk if im crazy but i tried like, all, of the commonly reccomended linux distros a few years back when it was my first time and really did not like any of them, and then i tried an arch derivative with plasma kde and then fell in love with arch based distros to the point that i absolutely do not want to use anything else. i tried endeavor os recently and have been loving it!

Ah yes thankyou! That solved it, I haven't messed with the settings at all on Lemmy.zip as far as I know so I think that must've been a default setting.

yeah it seems like most of their music skews towards the softer sounds but the songs i linked feel like direct influences at least in certain parts, that and the album covers seem very inspired by kglw specifically which is interesting because ive never really been able to put a finger on how kglw sounds but i can always tell their distinctiveness. Still hoverin just sounds like general prog, I think doom gong sorta is giving off a vibe of the lofi girl but if it were that sorta psych/prog rock music...I think doom gong can push themselves a lot more into the exploratory direction like how kglw does, they seem pretty talented but don't have the years of experience like kglw.

ahhh

maybe it would be helpful if someone leaves some comments on how to delete olyour 23andme account and revoke as much of your data from them before they flop

i for one have never heard of this guy, i had read this talk but didnt even know the name of the person until just now. i am rather new to super niche internet spaces beyond the bigger niches though so i may not be a good representation.

a lot of your issues are effeciency related which i think can realistically be solved given some time for development cycles to take hold on ai. if they were better all around to whatever standard you think is sufficiently useful, would you then think it would be useful? the other side related thing too is that if it can get that level of competence in coding then it most likely can get just as competant in a variety of other domains too.

great video! helped me understand the peertube structure a lot more when i get sround to setting up peertube things ill make sure to subscribe to your admin chronicles channel
