honestly this is a part of why i basically stopped using lemmy a few months back

(i think it's partly what put martineski off too, although i don't want to speak for him)

not my own comments, but i noticed more and more comments being downvoted for daring to say something controversial. i remember back before we had to have the "this is not a disagree button" hover text on reddit, now we don't even have that

we've got monitor edge barriers! the feature i missed most from windows is here i'm so pleased!

i doubt it, i don't see why an icon pack would have a systemd service. probably something to do with moonlight [nvidia]

still, thank you for introducing me to a new* icon pack

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I have to say I like this one

imageDolphin

kde can still look like that too:

kde oxygen theme, plasma 5.27

i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been


i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[^1] better unless you're in bright sunlight: images and video aren't affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

(current theme setup)

[^1]: this is conjecture, i haven't done any studies

how disappointing

i might send something to their support email address - it's unlikely to affect anything, but it's possible

Hi Ɀeus, thank you for the heads up,

We are aware of the issue and our tech team is investigating. We hope to have this fixed very soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any other comments or questions and I'll be happy to help.

Kind regards,

Irene

more hopeful than i was expecting, but still not that hopeful

the atmosphere in o:1886 is great all round; but i've never actually played it because the gameplay looks so shit

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yeah you're right, but my point was specifically that on this piece it could just be a station building with decorative wheels

that is a chunky boi though i love him. is it concept art for anything? it reminds of something for some reason

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

i'm so impressed you can tell the difference

now you say it i can see a slightly different style at the front, but i did think it was just the same image with a different background

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

lemm.ee has temporarily disabled all image uploads actually, due to the csam spam (see the post on !meta@lemm.ee)

/0 has recently released his ai anti-csam filter though, so hopefully they should be back soon

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

i honestly don't know actually

it calls itself a building, but it has wheels and steam escaping from where it would on a steam loco, but also the wheels are far too small to haul something of that size, the axles would snap

so it could be either

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah, definitely

i have before not posted until i found the actual artist, but 1) if it's published as the studio, that's a canonical credit, and 2) it might (as in this case) be the work of multiple people, and a studio is just shorthand for multiple artists

also this is cool as hell

 

aaaand we're back to your regularly scheduled space marine content

An obvious play on a famous image, with a 40k twist.

i love everything ralph mcquarrie has done. for those who don't know, he did most of the star wars concept art, but he's also done his own pieces too. i have seen unreliable sources claim that this is an early bespin or coruscant concept, but take that with a pinch of salt

higher quality image, but cropped (and with the signature removed):

finally, it's time for something a little less space marine

okay i really need to branch out from space marines, i am posting nothing but space marines...

Showing some love for Imperial titan and space marine enthusiast. I really like the appeal of giant robots with churches on top of it. It is just wild. That is why I really like Warhammer.

it's cool to see two ships meeting at an oblique angle! normally in space they just conveniently happen to align with each other

I decided to try my hand at doing a planet. Turned out okay! Not 100% happy with how all of the surface detail looks but overall I'm pretty satisfied still.


"In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now."


Mars, fourth from Sol. Birthplace of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the secretive priesthood that regulates the distribution and use of technology in Imperial space.

The Red Planet was the first of forge worlds, established by the nascent machine cult to safeguard technology and knowledge through the long millenia of the Age of Strife. Ever since Mars has been the strategic and economical center of the tech-priests' operations, supplying innumerable weapons, vehicles and equipment to the ravenous war machine that is the Imperium of Man.

The planet is ringed by great shipyards that labour endlessly to maintain and reinforce the Imperium's fleets and, in towering hive-factories that rise up as iron mountains through the lethally polluted atmosphere, billions of menials, enginseers and technomancers do their holy work to research, assemble and repurpose ancient tech-lore for use in this new, darker age.

used for the cover of vernor vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky"

now to me this looks quite a bit older than 2000; but that's what isfdb says, and who am i to argue?
