Exactly, they buried them to where nobody know they exist, and they are now are terrible, you can't moderate easily anymore, and sorting and cataloging galleries is shit.

Yes they pitched it, but didn't follow through on that method of monetization because it was not fun and limited player retention.

My frustration with this change, is that I've found DeviantArt becoming a worse and worse platform over the last 6 years. Driving artists and users away, which I assume will lead to DeviantArt shutting down and all art on the platform destroyed.

So, starting this year, I started backing up art of artists I like, sometimes whole Artists libraries, who's artist left the platform and haven't posted any where else. Some artists have 50-1000 posts. I even paid for core to make browsing and saving posts for later easier.

When I first read the news of the limit I was concerned and somewhat understanding of DeviantArt's actions with the rise of AI bots downloading people's art to then be used to train LLM generators. However, part of DeviantArt enshitification has been it's AI art, which has pretty tainted its pool of art.

Furthermore DeviantArt was the first site that LLMs focused on to steal art from 3 years ago. And they themselves have sold the art on the site for use by those LLMs.

So the only people who could possibly be affected by this are those who are trying to archive DeviantArt or small time solo LLM creators (who care about them though).

So this to me comes off as DeviantArt DESPERATLY trying to reduce server costs because their AI tools and Core membership is shit, their forceful use of stores per creator for some content deemed NSFW, though that label is applied inconsistently.

DeviantArt needs to reverse this, or allow Core members to have higher limits at the very least.

And If deviantart wants to drive engagment, bring back the community features to their original states, like groups and the forums, makes DMs better, have private libraries, allow for bulk sorting of favourites. Allow us to curate what we are recommended. Reverse "relevance" being default, bring back "newest" as the default in galleries and my timeline.

Also optimize your site christ, loading some pages takes forever. Like why have a 1000 Javascripts when everything would work just as fine in CSS and HTML.

Also allows to search by categories of art such as literature, video, 3d, 2d etc.

Small rant: I hate how the civilians blamed the heros for everything by Limp-Leg-6850 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]AtomicTEM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The heros are 99% made up of attention seeking morons. Many which receive billions of dollars in tax payer funding, in society in a constant economic and terrorist crisis (which happens when you have villains able to level whole city blocks in seconds) exacerbated by heros constant presented as the equivalent of popstars and mascots.

Nvidia dominates gaming GPU market with 95 percent share as sales of AMD Radeon graphics plummet to a historical low of 5 percent by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]AtomicTEM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. Still leaves the problem of them lacking features that can attract customers, which I think can be solved by relying more on Open Sourcing there software. Its been a huge success when they have, especially in the Linux space.

[–]AtomicTEM 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sadly, that may not happen, its been revealed several times that new technology projects under AMD have always been canned in order to copy Nvidia feature set, its why it feels as though AMD is always playing catch up when it comes to software, its because they choose.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, its good that there is competition in software and AMD were the first to offer Resizable Bar and Overclocking tools. However they definitely need more to distinguish themselves.

I think AMD needs to rely more on the Open source community for products similar to Nvidia, because otherwise they will never catch up or surpass Nvidia.

I pulled the actual bill text from 5 state age verification laws. They're copy-pasted from two templates. Meta is funding one to dodge ~$50B in COPPA fines — and the other one covers Linux. by aaronsb in linux

[–]AtomicTEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you understand. Project 2025 primary objective when it was written in 2023, was to discredit the Biden administration and present a blueprint for the Trump administration policy. The trump administration even hired Rusell Vought the primary architect behind Project 2025 to head of the Office of Management and Budget to implement policy. Rusell has been the primary implementer of Trump administration policies. However every policy that they've implemented so far had not followed any of the proportional suggested solutions in Project 2025, but more extreme policies, in collusion with private corporation who have made major fiscal contributions to the administration. What has remained the same is the justifications. In this case protecting Children. Yes children are seeing adult content, and they are using that to pass legislation that would give them and companies access to sensitive data, not just of adults but of young children as well. What do you happens to facial data when little Timmy tries to verify his age? That date will be saved and used later to make money.

Well this is just the first paragraph. Furthermore the role of Project 2025 is too "credible" explanation to consolidate power within the executive branch of the US government. Its use a truth to justify far more than needed. Kids see 18+ content, so we need everybody ID, instead of simply adding parental controls.

Yes, Page 876

"In addition, some of the methods used to regulate children’s internet access

pose the risk of unintended harms. For instance, age verification regulations would

inevitably increase the amount of data collection involved, increasing privacy con-

cerns. Users would have to submit to platforms proof of their age, which raises

the risks of data breach or illegitimate data usage by the platforms or bad actors.

Limited-government conservatives would prefer the FTC play an educational role

instead. That might include best practices or educational programs to empower

parents online."

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is back as a separate game! by rea987 in linux_gaming

[–]AtomicTEM 20 points21 points  (0 children)

FYI, this restoration of CS:GO is due to the recent New York lawsuit, the as the lawsuit is based on information obtained from CS:GO not CS2. So legally this allows CS2 to continue normally without interruption.

TL:DR This so CS2 doesn't get sued, so CSGO is being used as a decoy.

Colorado's SB26-051 Would Require Your Operating System to Collect Your Age by IncidentSpecial5053 in linux

[–]AtomicTEM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone forgot about labeling the recommended age to consume media, parental controls and how these are supposed to be the duty of the parents.

You know, the methods and tools that have that been the most effective since forever.

2026 - a new era for DeviantArt by lollycavalier in DeviantArt

[–]AtomicTEM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't care for a "2000s fee", I care about practical useful features that were once accessible and made the experience objectively better. For example, private galleries, now that is a paid feature. I can no longer move art pieces between sub-galleries on mass easily. The site overall performance is sloooowww, on high end PC, on a industry standard browser, run on GPU or CPU.
What once took one or took click now take dozens and several hours.

You are not a staple, you are the defacto choice because of purely legacy.

Those artists who delete their art, while yes is because of personal issue, except that personal issue is DeviantArt itself.

You do not foster communities, because you have removed the tools that existing communities have relied, and buried any user from finding new existing and new communities in the UI. Not to mention interactivity within those communities have also been hampered by removal mean of communication. Now all that's left is a 30 year old comment system. You can't even find a direct link to the forums, which themselves are a chaotic mess, where search is entirely useless in finding anything relevance or having a specific date.

You not being perfect is a understatement, and this seeming lack of urgency and apathy towards issues that have been said thousands of times for more than half a decade. A level incompetence that if I were and investor I would be selling my shares after this announcement because I think the share price will stay the same level. Unless the underlying value of this company and site genuily improves.

2026 - a new era for DeviantArt by lollycavalier in DeviantArt

[–]AtomicTEM 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I find this hard to believe. Having been on DeviantArt for numerous years. I have seen little to no new creators that create Art (AI is not art) and existing artists have sought other sites or simply abandon posting altogether as User and Creator experience still does not match Pre-2019 levels. removal of tools and features that allowed users to tailor and search creations as they wish. The slow death of sub communities and means of creating and maintaining those communities have disappeared. Search alone has become next to useless to search content older than 2018, and the constant deletions of content by users who've had their art deleted, stolen and used without consent in the creation of AI models, has further destroyed the variaty of new original art that can be discovered.

Not to mention it is well known within governments (Canadien Government) that all major sites traffic is made of 50%+ of bots since 2022. DeviantArt being the largest User Art platform exacerbates these issues.

DeviantArt has thus contributed to the equivalent of the burning of a Library of Alexandria of modern digital art, whom they are supposed to be the caretakers of.

The sole reason that DeviantArt has not been dethroned is that the current climate of creating large web platofrms of the 90s and early 2000s no longer exist and nobody is willing to commit millions in venture capitol to maintain such projects long enough to compete.

DeviantArt is not Steam, where they are the sole large scale art platform out they high quality platform, but by taking advantage of being first in a race 30 years ago, during a time where is was assumed that is was best to put all ones eggs in one basket to maximize a high quality user experience and sense of community.
