@virtualbri I think whether or not it's easier is not really the issue. obviously making mastodon.social the default is easier, but there are other ways to make it easier that don't bias towards centralization

the app could make a concise schema that breaks down what the different aspects of moderation are and use it to make a series of questions new users can answer to narrow down the list of available instances.

the app could rephrase the "choose my own" option to make it clearer that it's not for people building their own servers, but that there are alternatives that are as good or better for some and no more complex to start using

I'd like to run 3D fluid dynamics simulations and visualizations with open source software. On the order of 1k x 1k x 1k cells, preferably GPU accelerated and preferably not nvidia-proprietary.

What systems should I be reading about to learn how to do this (and to figure out what my next questions should be)?

Any finished examples out there?

:boost_ok:

@eqe maybe obvious, but are you talking for some engineering or scientific application or for art/visuals? I know Blender has pretty good fluid dynamics now, but IDK how physically accurate it is.

I would LOVE to see a video of hair cells in the cochlea responding sounds. Any sound: pure tones, classical music, nature sounds

@acb
implying that governments should set up servers in the fediverse? I would agree with that. the US gov, for instance, has already been through this with email and federal web sites. now there's a viable alternative to Twitter, it seems like a no-brainer

whether or not you "observe", I hope are having, will have, or have had some fun today

hm I'm thinking: a game like Euro or American Truck Simulator but the region you play in is fictional and with silly traffic rules for each country/state you have to learn

@mcc omg. I had never heard of Short Treks. So many. thanks for the rundown. I might have to subscribe then: that's too many for me to marathon on a free trial week 😄
(sucks to see that about s4 of Discovery. I really liked S1 but never watched the rest for *life reasons*)

Exciting news from #PyPI, just in time for @PyConUS:

"Starting today, PyPI package maintainers can adopt a new, more secure publishing method that does not require long-lived passwords or API tokens to be shared with external systems."

I've been part of the private beta and it works really well!

@mcc that's weird. like, S1 basically ret-con'd at least TNG history by "revealing" the Romulan cabal's deep dark secret: why go to the trouble if you're not going to build on it? Are subsequent seasons at least good on their own you think? I'm considering getting Paramount+ just to see the new Trek series.

As I’ve mentioned a couple of times now I’m writing a #ttrpg system. It has a spell crafting system, which I haven’t released yet, but I still need a list of reasonable default spells. What’s a spell you guys have always wanted to see in a ttrpg? Or one you think is a necessity/mainstay?

Boost for visibility

@mcc you didn't like "Picard"? I only saw S1 and liked it overall, but was unclear on what even made sense to do next in the story.

The birds are back in town!

Again, couldn't tell ya if they're the same birds, but this morning I saw a couple of barn swallows flying to and from the nest over my door. I'm glad I didn't destroy the nest last time: it's great to see them again 😄
