@huggingface, take down this dataset.

Cara is a community website that did everything in its power to protect the works of artists from scraping for GenAi.

A psycho decided their entitlement was more important than a community’s wishes. Hugging Face has been-

Dreams on a Pillow is a game that needs to exist but that needs our support. It’s a game made by Palestinians about Palestine.

Took me long enough to write this- I’ve known Steven Donziger for almost a decade — a freedom fighter, a comrade, a friend, and honestly, my hero. He’s been through hell and back fighting for Indigenous and farming communities in the Amazon while one of the most powerful corporations on earth tried to destroy him. He never stopped. My friend Steven, up close and personal. Read it on Indigenous Insider- Substack.

@rahul__gh0sh @scottpetrovic So why not just help out with mesh2motion then. I’m sure they’d appreciate any help/contributions?

‘Indonesia calls in military to help clear Papua forests at rapid pace.’

The conversion of vast tracts of pristine nature to monocultures by the Indonesian government is the world’s largest current nature destruction project.

Related to music eg punk, Indy means self published OR published though indy labels (meaning smaller DIY type operations). Maybe nice solution for games as well, eg devolver, raw fury, etc as indy publishers/labels

[🌲Roelof ☀️ @graphific]

@protopop Totally! I think it’s also helpful to think about it as a self-label, as in how you think about the game you’re making and people/team/collaborators you’re making it with.

[🌲Roelof ☀️ @graphific]

Personally I’d see it more as a continuum solodev > Indy > a > aa >>> aaa

[🌲Roelof ☀️ @graphific]

@protopop Kinda comes back to a discussion that’s been going on for a while now: does Indy mean self published as it used to mean, or “independent” as in not tied to larger corporations or teams free-er for experimentation? So more related to budget or team size?

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. https://t.co/f3M1Pznt4L

Since yarn spinner viewer explodes on big scripts, I'm making my own terminal yarn parser with snapshotting (save/resume, jumping to specific nodes), live variable editing, being able to revert and jump back from dialogue choices, hot reloading and more

[🌲Roelof ☀️ @graphific]

Having a lot of fun using and adapting the #yarnspinner visual code extension.

Gave the legacy graph view some love, code being maintained at https://t.co/SBbI9P4HjU

– auto layout options
– basic text formatting
– custom speaker colors
etc.
