the ! is the prefix to make an autolink on lemmy
think r/ on reddit, or # on mastodon (sort of)
Concept of Lord Drachenfells carrige from Warhammer Fantasy universe.
(not that i know that much about warhammer fantasy. but more carriages should have this many skulls on them)
another image that i'm not certain is a portal[^1] (it could just be a mirror or something), but it looks like a portal so i'm posting it
cover art to asimov's "the stars, like dust", as well as paul anderson's "guardians of time"
[^1]: i'm not very good at this, clearly - i'm just sharing art i think is cool
part of his "reich busters" series on his artstation (eventually that whole series is going to end up posted here, i imagine)
something a bit more conventional, i think
Practice between assignments
where.. where do the crew go? do they have to climb around all the viscera every time they need to do maintenance?
the actual flagship image is the greyscale version; but i like the colour version much better

(sort of feels like three titles to me..)
i don't really know much more about the artist though, as it's such a generic name
fairphone would be so good if it had a headphone jack. but it seems really weird to me to launch a "sustainable phone" without a jack
ahh, what an imaginative title…

some concept art for Blasphemous (the holy line area, i believe), which is a fantastic game[^1] and i thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes metroidvanias or souls-likes

Hello everyone, once again I come to share another personal piece that I made to continue improving my skills. In this case, I've tried to reimagine what the city of London would be like taking inspiration from the Frostpunk aesthetic.
I hope you like it!
nakoichi, i don't care. i'm not taking sides in an argument between you and randint: i'm saying that i like hexbear and i dont't want to defed them, and if randint doesn't like you i'm advising him in how not to get drawn into an argument
oh hi aktion. you know you're being talked about?
and yeah, that's mostly my experience on hexbear lemmyspheres, although i must admit i don't do a lot of shitposting
really? just people posting their thoughts on your instance? what's the point?
ah, but[^1] if you donate a kidney you go to the top of the queue
you're losing one when you don't need one, and receiving one when you do
insurance salesman here[^2], just in case that might have gibt unnoticed
[^1]: to the best of my knowledge
[^2]: obviously not
this seems like something best solved with a bookmarklet
let me see if i can knock one up quickly
okay, i got a bit distracted, sorry it took so long
javascript:(function() {window.location="https://duckduckgo.com/?"+window.location.toString().match(/q=.*?(\&|$)/g);})()
alternative code block
javascript:(function() {window.location="https://duckduckgo.com/?"+window.location.toString().match(/q=.*?(\&|$)/g);})()
just drag that into your bookmarks bar, then click it when you're on a google search page (please message me with any questions or bugs, i wrote this in five minutes with an online regex tester)
also, thank you for this post - i'd never thought of doing this, but it's a good idea
edit 2: okay, lemmy-ui currently has a bug with ampersands. please replace & in the script with just an "&"
personally, i chose lemm.ee for, amongst other reasons, the federation policy. at the time i joined, l.e had blocked the fewest instances that i could find, i think it was only burggit.moe. i would choose to continue in this vein. i'm a big boy, and i can curate my own online experience - i'd rather do that than have someone do it for me
i have never had any problems with hexbear users (in fact, the few i've seen seem to be perfectly nice). it's possible that i've just missed it, but it's also possible that a lot of people are caught up in the hype of "the hexbears are nazis, let's all block them". i think if you browse subscribed: just don't subscribe to hexbear communities; and if you browse all: you have to be prepared to block some users/communities.
this is assuming this is possible: i think it would be considerably preferable for lemm.ee to block individual users and communities, rather than defederating a whole instance
i think if people want an instance that blocks instances they don't like, they should make they're own rather than pestering you about it (this isn't a "if you don't like it, go make you're own" - it's more "everyone has their own list of things they want to block, and i think people would find it easier to block exactly what they want on their own instance"). i personally would rather lemm.ee blocked every mastodon instance so i wouldn't get the twitter experience in my link aggregator, but i'm not going to request it because that would be selfish
slight tangent:
Coming back to the events of the past few days: soon after my removal of the comment containing the symbol from the meta thread, two posts popped up on hexbear. One was focused on insulting and spreading lies about me personally. Another was focused on diminishing the horrors of the soviet occupation in my country. In the comments under both of these posts (and in a few other threads on hexbear), I noticed some seriously disturbing bigotry against my people. There were comments which reflected the anti-Estonian propaganda of the current Russian state, things like:
i can understand your problems with this. and though i would be disappointed; as you're a volunteer, i would understand if you defederated on personal grounds
i've no mobility issues, but i can't stand that back gesture. it interferes with the ability to open drawers; and i can't spam it quickly to get out of a "deep" page in an app
gestures do have pros (for instance, the ability to hold and scroll through recents) but the back gesture just seems straight up worse to me
pirating photoshop is a well-understood part of many peoples' workflows. that doesn't make it legal or condoned by adobe
libpng refused to accept it
mozilla made it because it suited their needs; and libpng (the organisation behind png, and who make the standard png decoder[^1]) refused to add compatibility, insisting on mng instead. mng was bad, so nobody used it; and apng was great, but require mozillas version of the decoder so systems couldn't use both the official version and the apng supporting version together
[^1]: and have a fantastic website
