This probably isn't the right place t ask, but does anyone have good recommendation for tutorials/channels that explain how to use Blender, specifically 2d animations as well as rigging and scripting as I was wondering on how difficult of a process would it be to recreate the flash puppet style into it?

After re-reading your question though, you might be happier with synfig
https://www.synfig.org/
I have not yet had a chance to actually use it, but I did do a very stupid simple thing a long time ago and got a sphere to move around very easily and change size.
If you want, make a thread about synfig and I'll learn it with you.

ehh, after less then successful attempts at trying to learn animating in Krita and BoomToon I am kind of fed up with purely 2d based animating programs, also if the idea of doing the Blender recreation ends up successful there is a horde of useful addons and other crap that could bump up utility of it (just the fact that you can use python code for running simple scripts is an amazing advantage over anything else out there).

Whenever I do an image search, it seems like most of the results are webp these days. It's a pain in the ass because chan boards don't accept them as uploads, so I have to take an extra step to open them in GIMP and export them as png. Meanwhile normie sites seem to be trying to aggressively normalize it as a standard format.

Does this stupid image format serve any purpose other than to be useless and annoying? Is there some technical reason why the internet would need a new, proprietary image format, or is the object just more shekels for google?

Probably because Google has been shilling this file type hard, since Google developed webp.
>It's a pain in the ass because chan boards don't accept them as uploads, so I have to take an extra step to open them in GIMP and export them as png
Ikr. I have to do the same thing every time I want to post one here, usually because I got it from search or from discord (which accepts and embeds webps).
>Does this stupid image format serve any purpose other than to be useless and annoying?
Well, according to Google:
>WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.
So allegedly, it compresses well, like a jpeg, while still allowing for transparency, like a PNG, which could hypothetically make it a decent "universal format".
There's probably some macroeconomic logic behind Google wanting this to be widespread. I can't say what Google's actual motives are, but I suspect that it's more shekels in their pockets.

Yes, it is about the file size. Google wanted to reduce the bandwidth and WEBP gives reductions of around 30%.

You can use imagemagick to quickly convert files on the command line. There are many scripts on the net that make that process automatic
>Is there some technical reason why the internet would need a new, proprietary image format
No,however, it's an open format, and libwebp is released under a permissive BSD liscense. But so is libpng and libjpeg

It’s just a movie, made mostly with AI, which took care of writing the script, creating the concept art, generating all the voices, and participating in some creative decisions. The AI-generated voices used in this film do not reflect the opinions and thoughts of their original owners. This short film was created as a demonstration to showcase the potential of AI in filmmaking.

Dystopian hate thread
Anonymous

Anyone else hate when dystopian authoritarian shit is presented as "the nice good thing" in science fiction? This is a social credit system. For it to operate it would require constant surveilance on your personal private life, and it would disproportionately reward sociopaths who figure out how to game the system.

This is from Endless Space 2. In this game this is the power of putting Pacifists in power. The power of putting warmongers in power? Jingoist Joy: Your people love you for starting wars instead of hating you for it. Despite how hard the tooltip tries calling your people armed banner-waving loons, it is the nicer, freer option. Does anyone involved in this game see the irony?

At such a stage of interstellar exploration, most resources would be gained from asteroid mining.
Aliens would offer different kinds of capital, such as new technology and the experts and engineers to implement them, in which case you really would want alien friends.
Friendship is magic.

Positive authoritarianism is a shit idea. But for whatever reason, it seems to be perpetuated by either shitty writers whose only frame of reference is the TV show Person of Interest or their commie SJW social club.

But to be honest? What the fuck do you even call cyberpunk -without- Dystopic government? Sci-fi? Can a world built to be cyberpunk be (relatively) peaceful and friendly without need for an obligatory oppressive government? Hell, for some reason there are fiction authors that argue that some element of human-suffering is crucial to making a so-called-utopia, which the entire premise of is completely ridiculous, IMO.

Shit. the word "Utopia" itself basically means "non-existant city" or something like that. So, the entire idea is literally just a nothingburger that people treat as some sort of immutable law.

Honestly? I'm tired of Dystopia. I'm tired of it being used both positively and negatively. It's been too real for my tastes.

I can see where you're coming from. The tone in that description sounds positive, but think a little and it becomes depressingly cynical; making peace non-negotiable instead of genuinely fostering the sentiment.
Perhaps that's the point? I find it difficult to imagine some dude typing this out genuinely accepting the ideal, even moreso proofreading it. You'd think they'd tweak out the undertone of cynicism.

I find the issue of a utopia is they think too small. In the sheer scale they desire something of corruptible beginnings, middles and ends instead of higher beyond cosmic potentials.
At what point is too much too much?
I suppose instead of semi-realistic it's more of a paradise thought exercise. The point is there's usually a lack of something or an absence of an lack that should have been more heavily considered in detail.

Traffic is encrypted to and from https sites, all your ISP sees is that you're using the site. Cloudflare can only see your data if you give them your certificate, which I would hope that nobody who knows what they're doing would ever do. It's true that most VPNs are kiked, but mullvad doesn't even keep logs of anything that's done and even invites you to take a look at the source code: https://github.com/mullvad/. You can still browse mlpol on tor and could even post at one point, although it doesn't seem to be working at the moment, I may actually want to ask Pupper about that
