That's right I guess, but at least in a beignet there's a bit of preparation involved, I was picturing just whole fried apples or maybe like french fries but made of apple, but you're right I guess beignet counts.

Fried apples? Maybe that's a Texas thing, or Scottish, but it wouldn't be a source of confusion in France because they'd take your passport away if you tried frying an apple.

But it doesn't affect me (yet).

I had such a great, if brief, time in sea of thieves. It fell out because the main reason I enjoyed it was the team aspect and our friends stopped playing it, but damn if it didn't give that immersive vibe for a little while, kind of like when I first played WoW.

For that you need a FWA3DP, a friend with a 3D printer. Mine prints me parts every few months when I randomly need something.

The differences are subtle but unmistakable.

When they're making a movie and someone suggests this, they get shut down because it's not believable.

I totally agree, and proudly own our vehicles outright! Don't care if they're a bit older.

But in the case of (new) cars isn't this applicable to literally everyone the moment they drive off the lot? Like it's gonna take a while untill the loan payments catch up to the depreciation of a new car.

Feels good to be completely debt free on the cars. Yes it meant when my work car started showing issues, I had to review my expectations when going electric and couldn't get the van/large car I thought I needed and we downsized to a hatch back instead, but truthfully I think that was a kick in the nuts I needed to realise I was getting pulled into a weird spiral of thinking I always need more, when really 99% of the time I'm fine in a small vehicle (and it's so much nicer to drive and get around in). For these few times stuff won't fit I'll use our older ICE which is a bit more spacious, and when that's not enough I'll rent a van and bill it to the client!

I mean that sounds great and all but what are the chances some other explorers find it and the same shit goes down basically the same way?

Carrot and stick. But mostly stick.

 

Hey there, I'm looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It's an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I'm getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I'm considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

Ideally it's something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

 

I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.

I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?

Dead feed? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hey there, so I registered to Sopuli recently and I'm still getting through the transition out of Reddit, I'll admit right now I'm enjoying the shit show too much to step away but once RiF stops working, I'm probably gonna be around here a lot more.

But right now my feed seems completely dead. I spent some time subscribing to some popular communities from different servers and I try browsing local, all and subscribed. Both hot and active serves me posts that are days, sometimes weeks old.

What can I do to get more content in my feed? I was just browsing the kbin front page (without an account) and was seeing fresher posts from Lemmy servers than I'm getting in Jerboa so it must be something wrong on my end and not just that's there's too little content.
