Good article on why NFT / cryptoart is an ecological nightmare:

Damn this is bad. About why there are absurdly more men than women in tech.
I hope we can together influence people to stop thinking about tech as a male thing. More diversity, in gender and other aspects, is a good thing for all of us.

New release of BeatStripper fixes a bug and adds experimental Linux support. Download v4.0 from https://stuvel.eu/software/beatstripper/
BeatStripper takes your #BeatSaber party mode scores, and strips away all scores except the highest score of each player. It can also add your Solo scores!
Open your most recent file, instantly! #Blender now has an option `--open-last`, which does just that. Add it to your shortcuts or type it by hand, it's there when you need it.
`blender --open-last`

@Gina I'm sure it has a nice home now ;-)
@8it8yte I'd think so, not sure though.
Very Akita-ish.

@TheRealPomax @ibannieto Are there any open alternatives?
@pbx with a "ü" in my last name, you can imagine how often I've triggered such errors.
@pbx Hah! Maybe combine that with a "Converting your code from MS-DOS to Windows 3.11" talk :P
Much this. It's a lot harder to recognise a deep fake when you want to believe it's the truth.

Also important to mention that just because you feel you can personally tell the difference between synthetic & authentic media, it doesn’t mean we’re good to go. It matters what the general public believes. Altered media has real world safety, political etc impact for everyone.

I don't think so, I've never used it for that. That's what I have my Yubikey for.
@Armageddon Oh I dropped Python 2 support a while ago. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Still, apparently plenty of people are using the older packages.
It is scary to see how many people/systems are still using #Python 2.x (the blue line in this graph). For context: it went end-of-life over a year ago.
This graph shows daily download stats of my Python RSA package. It shows 770k downloads for Python 3, and 250k are still for Python 2.
