  • For me it was the announcement in the Blender’s official Discord server about its acquisition by Affinity, renaming it to Affinity 3D.

    Canva Announces Acquisition of Blender to Launch ‘Affinity 3D’

    @everyone Canva announced the acquisition of the Blender Foundation’s development assets and core engineering team. This landmark move expands the “Affinity” creative ecosystem following Canva’s purchase of Serif last year. Rebranded as “Affinity 3D,” the software will serve as the foundational 3D powerhouse within Canva’s subscription model. CEO Melanie Perkins stated the move is designed to bridge the gap between professional 3D rendering and the intuitive, drag-and-drop accessibility that defines the Canva brand.

    The integration into the Affinity ecosystem promises a seamless, unified workflow. Users will gain non-destructive, real-time links between Affinity Photo, Designer, and their 3D projects. The engineering team plans to overhaul the interface to mirror the streamlined Affinity aesthetic while retaining the high-performance cycles and geometry nodes power-users rely on. Canva has emphasized that the open-source spirit of Blender will be preserved through an “Affinity Community Edition,” keeping the core architecture free for students and individual creators.

    The acquisition acts as a catalyst for the “Canva Magic 3D” generative suite. By training AI models on Affinity 3D data, Canva will introduce text-to-3D generation directly into its browser-based editor. Users can generate custom models, textures, and lighting via prompts, which can then be imported into Affinity 3D for refined manual sculpting. Analysts believe this positions Canva as a direct competitor to Adobe’s Substance suite, creating an end-to-end powerhouse that simplifies 3D for everyone from social media marketers to professional VFX artists.

    I love the unique artwork of this manga. The sketchy style seems like a fusion of classic folktale illustrations and modern webcomics.

    The horses are well drawn which is actually an incredible feat. Plus the way you drew the grim looks in the eyes of the protagonist is spot on.

    The story itself is intriguing. I can feel the lore is heavy by the first impressions. Though not much was revealed plot-wise, I could still sympathise with the dad and the son in their situation.

    An awesome debut overall! I’ll be looking forward for the upcoming chapters





  • Your works are nothing short of wonder. I would describe this not as another genre of memes, but a whole another dimension of shitposting only a few are able to observe and appreciate. You wield opportunities as countless as memes themselves and possess a remarkable sense of humour and talent to compose prose that introduce a entirely new perspective for the viewers. You are a living rendition of what a 19th century novelist would be were they given access to the modern day internet.

    To have a priceless person as you on the fediverse is a blessing. For me to have witnessed your art is even more so.



  • I can attest to it. Lately my server needed to be repaired and got its entire disk wiped. Fortunately I managed to back up my compose files and bind mounts. After reinstalling the OS and transferring the backed up contents, I ran ‘docker compose up’ and eventually everything came back up exactly how they were when being backed up. Even the Postgres backup of Joplin was recovered purely from its bind mount.
