I believe Lula and his government appreciates anything that reduces the influence of the US.

I love Vital (Vitalium) and Zyn-Fusion. Surge and Odin are great too. all of them are open source and work great with bitwig.

Two corrections: On October 7, infants have been executed. While they weren’t beheaded, they were still murdered. And sexual assault by Hamas fighters has been widely documented and proven.

These things did happen. You’re not helping anyone by hiding things that are also true.

that “anti-semitism” dog-whistle is just pure racism ahh alright, calling out anti-semitism is racist now? You’re watering down the definition of both of these issues. Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is antisemitic. That’s not up to debate for me.

(which only a racist would think), hence Israel represents all of them, hence criticism of Israel is anti-semitism.

okay, typical Motte-and-bailey. you compared Israel to Nazi Germany. I called you out on that. Moreover, I called Netanyahu “full of shit” and said “IDF is committing reprehensible war crimes”. I’m criticizing Israel. Doesn’t make me an Anti-Semite. This kind of stuff always happens. “Israel is like Nazi Germany!!1” (Motte) and “Oh I’m just criticizing Israel” (Bailey)

but it even has already exceed the rate of killing of civilians of pretty much everybody but the Nazis

You’re making this up. Please have at least the decency and give me sources.

but in terms of the rate of civilian deaths it certainly has already exceeded everything else but the actual Holocaust

The hamas killed 1200 people in a single say. that would be 108000 in 90 day, exceeding the “rate of civilian deaths” of the IDF bombing. Is this a shitty argument? yes, it is awful, and so is yours. It is a fucking tragedy and it needs to end. But why do you use these numbers to desperately frame Israel as Nazis?

Important to note: between May and July 1944, the Nazis killed over 400 000 Hungarian Jews in Auschwitz.

Again: Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is detached from reality, and antisemitic. You are not helping anyone by doubling down on claiming it is.

Think a second about those who are actually affected by the conflict, who understand how complex and twisted it is and who genuinely look for ways to find peace. People who oppose the war, the occupation, Netanyahu’s government, Hamas. These people are drowned out by westeners entirely unaffected by the conflict, claiming to know better what is going on, and resort to simplistic, tribalistic and hateful language.

the Nazis mudered around 70000 french jews during the Shoa, many of them children. what’s your point?

I really don’t get why it is so difficult to shit on Netanyahu and his fellows without resorting to insensitive/antisemitic language. He’s full of shit, yes, and the IDF is commiting reprehensible war crimes. But no, there is no comparison to be made with Nazis. The Shoa stands for itself.

It is sickening to see how there are so many pro-palestinan voices for peace who avoid this sort of language, only to drowned by so many westeners who think relativizing Nazi crimes is somehow helping palestinians

edit: just to expand a little: around 400 000 French civilians have been killed between 1939 and 1945 It’s just ridiculous. I have no idea how people can upvote made up shit like that. sorry, but this is just fucking enfuriating

Not even the Nazis would kill children as reprisal.

the nazis absolutely killed children for all sorts of despicable reasons. Could you at least make your point without relaitivizing fucking Nazi crimes?

I don’t know. I tend to just try to live and hope I come up with an idea at some point.

thanks a lot for your words!

Happiness is 80% a choice and its easier to make with medical assistance

it feels like it is so much labor and I am exhausted. it never really sticks, it keeps slipping away. I wish it was easier

thanks. Sure, let me hear them! they might not work for me, but it certainly won’t hurt reading them

yeah, sadly. There is a lot of interest, and I guess the Blender Devs have a hard time managing it all of the contributions. they are actually hiring someone who can help out with all of that stuff

the post I quoted from is pretty much 10 years old - except for the license blender changed a lot since then. Both Corona and V-ray have some kind of ‘bridge’ implementation, but they are not nearly as well integrated into blender as cycles is, and therefore their userbase is quite small.

oh I use blender so much I have to put effort into associating the word with a literal blender

they give you stuff for free. Send them money if you want them to have more resources to manage all the contributions, or give money to someone who you think knows better than them. Calling them egomaniacs is absurd, wrong and rude, and will get you nothing but downvotes on Lemmy

yep! I laughed when I read that. GPL working precisely as intended.

I guess discourse in software development is very normal (and needed) and in the case of free software, it is generally held publicly. Well they still give away their code for free. Everyone is allowed to do the same thing the blender foundation does - aquire resources to fund blender’s development and sharing the product with everyone who wants to use it.

edit: reading the thread on blenderartists… that developer seems to be a bit of a drama queen… I can’t comment on the technical things as I know close to nothing about it, but him being rude like that is not good for any working environment.

I don’t really want to argue in detail as I don’t feel like your critizism is constructive or specific. You’re right though, the blender devs aren’t the good guys… they are the best!

as someone who works in that area, USD will be pretty awesome once it is well integrated in the respective 3D applications. Through MaterialX it’ll even be possible to export complex shaders through different applications. It’ll be much easier to use different programs on a single project.

Nvidia already pushes USD with their Omniverse thing. Whoever doesn’t join the new standards shoots themself in the foot. I believe Autodesk is seriously threatened by Blender (Adobe, Nvidia and Apple have invested in Blender already), and if they don’t implement the standards that studios demand they’ll just remain on the losing side.

right, since blender 2.8 it has been way more accessible for users to get into. I’ve always really liked blender’s unique approach to design though. The Blender Devs work in the same building as their in-house animation studio. This kind of synergy has always come up with unique workflows that are crazy powerful and useful once you get behind it. right-click-select is one of these things. The devs at the Blender Institute are always surronded by artsists who have tons of ideas on how to make things faster to use for the artists.

probably - I think most studios would be okay with paying more, the prices are pretty fair compared to what’s common in the industry. And on top of that they’d probably have to do without tech support from the devs which is quite important for studios

its true, but Autodesk’s walled garden approach is starting to crumble. FBX is on the way to be replaces by USD, Rendering is on it’s way to be streamlined by Hydra Delegates, and there are a bunch of projects by the ASWF that work on new open source standards for the industry.
