In the beginning, autumn and spring duration were 13 weeks. Then six, then three weeks. The last autumn lasted for a week. In next year they will be four days, we could be seeing a summer and winter transition in eight hours, until they switch in four minutes.

People have been sketching at cafe or any public spaces so drawing digital on tablet out there should be no difference, but it feels very awkward for me. People do that are absolute mad lad.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•OK, not to be runde or anything, but why is your banner AI generated
10·6 months agoNot the OP but I’ll put my PoV.
AI allows to cut junior and entry level artists. Companies only need to retain top 1% talent orchestrating hordes of AI.
While it is still a craft, commercial art is not about being genuine; it is to deliver product and meeting deadline while passing QA. AI’s output rate outpaces human labor, and the top 1% can certainly identify what aspect makes AI output slop. Which means they can cherry pick “OK” part of AI, review, iterate, tweak to deliver product while keeping quality. The process previously involved comunication between senior and junior artits. Now companies don’t need the rest of the 99% anymore as workforce.
What will happen in the long run? Who knows. Companies are known for only keen on immediate profit.
This tendency is widespread and not limited to art field, nor related to the argument of intrinsic value of art. I can argue this is more of labor (and capitalism) issue, on top of people whose art stolen not getting enough compensation for their work. While I’m not against AI technology itself, its effect on peoples livelihood and climate impact makes current AI landscape hard to defend.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can I setup Linux on a VM and then swap to that setup permanently if it works well for me?
2·11 months agoThats fair. TBH mocap data cleanup is also a hassle and I haven’t decided to delve deeper into that. CMU has mocap data with permissive license you may find it interesting if you haven’t already.

1·11 months agooff topic, but I saw you mentioned vr on other post so wondering wether you considered setting up vr mocap? For casual hobbyist like me stuff like glycon3d in enticing though I don’t know what type of mocap you’re after.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people make and save kaomoji art?
7·1 year agoJapanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as “アスキーアートエディタ” (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to “trace” image.
Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editors were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike “AA artist” in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor?
6·1 year agoKiwi and pineapples have enzyme to break proteins down, causing it taste bitter if they have contact to diary products long enough. Canned pineapples don’t have this issue but I haven’t seen canned kiwi, maybe that explains no kiwi ice cream
Some mushrooms can be poisonous after 24h, just in case. angel wing mushroom shows no digestive symptoms but encephalopathy after 2 day to 1 month of latent period. The mushroom was known to be edible for a long time. Were it not for full screening for encephalopathy cases (enforced due to SARS spread back in 2004), it could’ve remain “edible” still now.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Alzwards Corner] I see no problem *sneeze* with this

Does anybody knows whose art of back painting? or is it AI stuff?
It photoshopped and swapped original image to match this situation but I couldn’t find it.
You are likely to only refer more than current era. If you’re writing govmet grant application, renewing licence or certificate, chances are you mention events hapenned in previous era. You look up table for when the previous era started and ended, which era said year falls into, then convert for each year, each era. Extra minutes wasted every time instead of simply writing in Gregorian year.


Don’t modern drawing tablets usualy have side buttons that ppl set frequently used functions? The gray bars at the side can be such but idk
