Love this! This is why I get so frustrated with all the news around Deepseek being untrustworthy. They released it under MIT knowing full well it would mean others could de-censor it.

Cheers! They're coming along, but still relatively early: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tu...
External audio file loading is in early stages too: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tu...
Plan is to learn to make extensions for Godot throughout this year to make actual synthesis more possible too :)

Just smashed through your Burn Book audiobook over the weekend @karaswisher.bsky.social
Awesome stuff! Really helped the last 20 years (and likely the next 20) make a lot more sense.

Yeah interesting. I'm currently using Proton Drive, and had to figure out how to get Rclone working for syncing with Linux.
All good now.
Having said that, I'm currently keeping an ear open for true open-source alternatives.

I haven't tried them yet, but had my eye on them. What's been frustrating?

interesting! As long as they continue to release open-source models, they have my support.

From a fellow South Aussie, thank you for saying this. I have been utterly ashamed of the silence on this from our two major parties.
We cannot continue to act like the lapdog of the US. We need to actually stand up for the values our country and soldiers have died fighting for

Thank you, seriously.
I've been utterly ashamed of our government's response to everything happening. It makes Australia feel like the spineless lapdog of the US.
The Greens are the only party I've seen stand up to this bullshit. They are the only part I've seen on the correct side of history.

Disgusting, especially seeing as not everyone in Labor agrees either: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yeah from my understanding, Redot essentially came out of political disagreements with how the Godot community was being run. I'm not aware of any other changes made to the engine, so maybe tread carefully.

I've personally found Krita much more intuitive, and all good for my needs.
Gimp may still be more expansive for power-users though

Yeah Mint is the first Linux distro that made me stick.
Microsoft's behavior over the last couple years also helped.

Yeah, and he's essentially throwing his colleagues under the bus with this comment. One of the slimiest guys around.

He also admitted that "OpenAI has been on the wrong side of history" with all of this:

I gave you guys the benefit of the doubt with the accidental "official post" the other day, but this is a very bad faith argument.
You KNOW that you can download Deepseek and run it securely (unlike ChatGPT, etc), but you hardly mention that.
I don't believe I can trust Proton anymore.

I mean, let's not celebrate that the best recent thing in open-source is currently being cyberattacked.

I know it doesn't help anyone right now, but history will remember this, and all the governments who have funded it.
