@twistylittlepassages@weirder.earth do you have material costs eg. are they providing the figs or are you? is it totally custom in terms of what they can request or are you just asking for vibes and then doing what you want? will you accept revision requests? generally speaking, i’d figure out about how long i thought it would take and multiply that by a hourly price and then tweak up/downwards according to the above questions (down slightly for more artist freedom, up significantly for anything that might add to the time it takes to do)

@twistylittlepassages@weirder.earth yeah unfortunately i dont have minifig specific advice, but i’ve found that the considerations for setting commission rates are *remarkably* similar across industries so i figured it might at least be a helpful starting point :) also unfortunately basically every industry that does commissions has a subgroup of commissioners who are doing this as a hobby and dont value their skills/time that highly as a result bc they are just trying to recoup costs. cue infinite discourse as people debate whether this behavior is appropriate and if no how to get the hobbyists to stop (they will not stop)

@SportsGoblin@allpro.social yeah we also got jumpscared by it last game 😅 my best guess is that its a “hats off” motion — some fraction of people always use their hats for it and the percentage seems to go up when they’re more excited

@distel@weirder.earth life goals tbh

@miss_rodent no racists?

@brie@apobangpo.space happy birthday! i hope the cake was tasty

@ljwrites the exception to this of course being if the lost and found system is cops. in which case i act like theres no lost and found system bc fuck forcing people to talk to cops

@OctaviaConAmore@cutie.city as a fellow brain frog haver, i’ve found lots of fluids and electrolytes is a good start so putting it on a waterbottle is smart 😂

@darius@friend.camp if you’re looking for good sourdough recipes, Hamelman’s Bread is very well regarded as well. I think it’s on its 3rd or 4th addition now?

@b it seems like anthropic at least has been including scraped pages marked with the big bench canary string for over two years: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kSmHMoaLKGcGgyWzs/big-bench-canary-contamination-in-gpt-4 (apologies for the lesswrong link but canary strings seem to be in the weeds enough that pretty much the only people discussing this are AI boosters)

@pockets learning models maybe yes with sufficient restrictions (actual human supervision, ethically created datasets, a purpose which actually benefits society as opposed to just writing more emails we then ask the same model to read and summarize). Large? no never, the compute required is ruinous for the environment while the endless demand for data makes ethical curation virtually impossilbe

@weirdestate there *are* fully build houses on that same strip in the photo, so perhaps the ground is more amenable to building than they look …or perhaps said houses all have incredibly expensive to repair cracked foundations and just look okay from the outside. something to ask the neighbors about before you buy!

@weirdestate @PapyrusBrigade 1.75M seems reasonably pricey to me?

@weirdestate bizzarre and awful in myriad ways

@weirdestate i slept in a flat that had stairs like those once to get to the top floor bedroom and they weren’t actually too bad once you got over your initial wtf reaction (initial reaction in this case was worsened by having failed to sleep on an overnight flight and so being VERY discombobulated) not sure i’d want to have them on my main bedroom just bc hauling a laundry basket up and down them every week seems like a bit of a pain, but for a guest bedroom or a study or something i dont think its too terrible

@shonalika@deadinsi.de if they defederated you wont see any posts from .social at all, and .social wont see any of your posts. the two servers just don’t talk at all it sounds like perhaps what actually happened here is that your instance silenced .social, in which case .social wont show up on the public timelines, you’ll have to approve follow requests from users on that instance (even if your account isn’t locked) and you wont get notifications from that server unless you have an (approved) follow relationship with that account

@darius@friend.camp Rose Levie Baranbaum’s bread bible is fairly comprehensive and well tested. It was published in 2003 so no Tangzhong method milk breads, or the modern ultra high hydration sourdoughs but for any classic bread recipe it’s my preferred source

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org if you’ll accept fanfictions: Nominal by Unpretty is a classic https://archiveofourown.org/works/8613352/chapters/19749409
