The 2024 animated movie Flow was done entirely in Blender. It is an incredible movie, highly recommend.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 58 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Blender was also used a bit in Everything Everywhere All At Once

And Into the Spiderverse for some stuff

It'a a start! Makes the switch much easier.

No. You either go full Stallman and inject Gentoo directly into your aorta, or you might as well be deep throating Satya Nutella while bouncing on Tim Apple's lap. Filthy casual.

Noob, I snort pure Colombian and run LFS directly in my brain using the power of cryptic dreams and messages handed down to me directly by Lord RMS

So you're saying your prefrontal cortex doesn't even have a Holy C✝ compiler? Terry looks down on you in shame.

Agreed, OSS purity is silly. I am running an open source client (Thunder) to this open source service on my Pixel 9 running GraphineOS, the low level firmware is still absolutely proprietary.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Actually, to be clear, I don't think FOSS purity is bad. I just mean that denigrating what others are doing because they're using something non-free while they're making steps in the right direction is dumb and counterproductive.

To my mind, FOSS is the only way forward for a healthy, functioning society, and the fact that so much of our digital landscape is being gradually replaced with it is to me evidence of that. I think the end goal should always be pure FOSS, but that doesn't (necessarily) mean immediately jumping to all FOSS; it just means taking steps to cut out proprietary software wherever you reasonably can.

Running Linux on closed source hardware. Classic.

I bet you aren't even using your own open RISC-V based SBC, with fully open-source peripherals. Is your computer monitor even running an open-source firmware or are you just a FOSS poser?

Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it's registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don't make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Some people prefer it.

I maintain a small piece of Windows software and originally just provided an installer, but I received enough requests for it that now when I publish releases I provide both an installer and a zipped portable build.

Having no package manager be like:

Assuming you are on Windows, the proper install method is to run

winget install -e --id BlenderFoundation.Blender

Kind of a moot point since most windows programs don't have a centralized hub for updates either, even when "properly installed" in program files.

I just got blender after having last looked at it ten years ago. It looks so much better! I had an easy time finding stuff. If you tried it in the past and are afraid of how ugly it was it is worth another shot. Also look up the doughnut tutorial.

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd like to make it like that for my projects, but I don't use windows so I can't do well with packaging them. And sometimes when I try it runs in the computer, but then doesn't run in other computers because of missing dlls or some other things.

Anyone have good idea how to make it easy. Using windows VM is such a hassle to install and such just for tiny programs I make.

[–] hangonasecond@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Make them in a portable language. Something like Java for example. Or you can write in rust and compile for each target.

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

It's in rust. Problem is the gtk part, it has to be installed in the system, which makes it run there. But how do I distribute the program without having everyone install gtk on their computer. In Linux it's just a dependency so it's not a problem, for windows I can't seem to make it work.

Edit: also, I need gtk because people around me who uses windows aren't going to use CLI program at all.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Oof GTK is probably one of the worst dependencies you can try and port to Windows.

What I've done in the past is use something like Onno Setup which can call a script during install.

Or, and this is new to me, use the Official tools to build a package for windows on whatever Linux distro you are on. From what I'm reading, it should package GTK with it.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Edit: also, I need gtk because people around me who uses windows aren’t going to use CLI program at all.

If that's the reason - maybe you can use TUI instead? In Windows, it'd open a CMD window which your users will be able to use. Not as pretty as actual GUI, but easier for Windows users to use than a CLI.

Another option is to use one of the numerous Rust-native GUI libraries (like iced or Druid, to name a few). None of them are as big as GTK/QT - but they are easier to get running on Windows.

Me running Godot on a new computer yesterday

Bravo. Truly an exceptional meme.
