If you add it, I wouldn’t complain.

And if you’d be interested to check, it’s a software for reviewing media, kinda like Rotten Tomatoes and the sort afaik, and quite a different purpose than microblogs or the threadiverse.

Would NeoDB be interesting to add?

Checking the two resources used, they both count about 1800 MAU, which doesn’t seem like an insignificant number if compared to the other softwares.

Also it wasn’t quite clear for me at first, but even though it has Mastodon and Bluesky login and crossposting functions, it still connects to ActivityPub with a plain email login, meaning it isn’t bridging anything.

There’s a saying in my language that goes like “perfect is enemy of done”.

As you fear not doing your ideas justice, maybe before trying them, you could participate on Ink52 from !inktober@sh.itjust.works? It’s a gamefied way of making people train drawing, and Ink52 is afaik the loosest of the 3 trends in that line, Drawtober, Inktober and Ink52, meaning pressure is also minimal.

Starting from the end, I’d say it’s better to fail while trying than to regret not doing it.

About perfection, it’s through the opposite, the imperfection and the failed attempts, that the person finds room to improve. Pretty much every artist whom you may be following started doing crude drawings. Hell, some still draw stickmen, some even going to insane lengths at that.

About creativity, inspiration is important. If you can’t find any in your daily routine, maybe try doing something different to see if inspiration comes?

And to wrap it up, personally, I think you should make art, yeah.

Hash, as anamethatisnt said, is just to confirm nothing’s corrupted.

Without knowing how to read code, best you can do is check the issues section, the number of “stars” in the repo (similar to likes), if the AppImage is provided by someone other than the original author (common when the original project doesn’t include an AppImage), and other indirect signs.

If you know a bit of troubleshooting, not to be confused with knowing how to code, you could also download the AppImage to a virtual machine, cut all direct communications of the virtual machine to the internet and to the host machine, and unpack the AppImage to see if any files are amiss.

Alternatively, but that also requiring some knowledge of troubleshooting, you could ask a LLM to make an “AppImage recipe” for the program you want and it should explain step by step how to make the needed AppImage. And troubleshooting comes into play because you better check at each step if it isn’t hallucinating or linking you to shady sites (latter extremely rare in my experience but better than to trust blindly).

A bit creepy/uncanny. If that’s what you were going for, it works nicely.

Asked some AI, and appears to be that, though please correct me if I’m wrong.

But going by that, starting from the fediverse, maybe people could try to make a trend like “My Web Directory” / #MyWebDirectory, where he/she posts a list of recommended small sites? On microblog platforms, usually they seem to allow users to have pinned posts, and on threaded platforms, maybe the link to a post could be included in their bio or something.

Going by wording, sounds like what Piefed and Bluesky do? A bundle of communities/profiles by common interest?

See a king and a soldier, fighting shoulder to shoulder

Not familiar with this library, but wouldn’t this be better mentioned on any of the fediverse communities (!fediverse@piefed.social, !fediverse@lemmy.world, !fediverse@lemmy.zip, !fediverso@diggita.com, etc.), or even “Press coverage of the Fediverse” (!fediverse_press@lemmy.world)?

Maybe suggest on Lemmy’s issue tracker? Other softwares such as Mastodon, Mbin and Misskey already got infinite scroll, so Lemmy expanding even to a fixed number doesn’t seem impossible technically.

Wasn’t there some legal case going on that could rule Youtube downloaders illegal as consequence? Feels like the two moves compliment each other, and with so many complimentary coincidences going on recently, it sounds ever more like the saying that goes like, when coincidences are too frequent, chances are they aren’t.

Moved Gumroad to Misc as it has more contents than just ebooks.

NewPipe and PipePipe to my knowledge bring together different services, not just Youtube. There’s also Grayjay in this vein.

And about supporting creators, I’d seek other means to support them, like bank transfers, Patreon, referrals, etc.

Alas, for the scope of this prose, such terminology shall suffice.

Games with the biggest budget, no?

Usually smaller games seem to be DRM-free from my experience, even when the platform facilitates and incentivizes DRM usage. And these smaller games are also the majority of games.

From what I read on discussions on the matter, apparently the resources needed for instances to talk to individual ones is proportionally much higher.

However, I’d argue most people using the fediverse seem to be fine using medium to large instances, so the impact seems to be a diminishing one.

And agreed it’s a form of independence. Besides and extrapolating from owning what you share, censorship, if/when it happens, at most is done at federation level, not on instance level, meaning it’s much harder for someone to sabotage the single-user for wrongthink or a potential (and if the user is honest, accidental) fuck up.

This Emmi fellow, using mass graves as strawman argument it seems. Also, wasn’t proof of the mass graves for indigenous people never provided?

If they are bots, they’ve been running for well over a decade, close to two perhaps. The other possibility is that Youtube simply historically doesn’t foster in-depth comments.
