Opengeklapt tijdschrift (EW Magazine) op een houten tafel met een interview over mij.; links staat een grote kop en citaat in groene letters, rechts een paginagrote foto van mij die in een lichte jas aanheeft en licht glimlacht tegen een groene, industriële achtergrond.

Interview @ewmagazine.nl over de noodzaak van meer digitale strategische autonomie, over de digitale afhankelijkheid van mijn eigen kinderen 🫣, over dat digitale zaken nog steeds verbinden in de Tweede Kamer en over de olifant in de kamer: Dit kabinet trek € 0,- uit voor digitale onafhankelijkheid!

I'm glad it's helpful! Thanks for letting me know :)

ok ok ok ok one more, I found one last issue that I wanted to fix, so yeah now it's 1.23 and reaaaaly the last one.

Actually, the approach is so finnicky that it breaks a lot. Which is why I'm rebuilding BAT from scratch to run from within Blender. That way there's just a simple Python API to call, instead of investigating the blend file itself (with all the variation in all the versions).

I just released Blender Asset Tracer v1.22, which is going to be the last release in the 1.x range.

It just has a single bugfix compared to 1.21, no new features.

okay are you telling me

the nvidis dlss5 faceapp slop guys put out video demonstrating and advertising this... on popular games that they did not get permission to use the footage of??????
They used their shit to modify, with AI, the property of studios without telling them? and then lied they did?

O_o this is ridiculously bad.

I just spend some time mapping buildings in Kenya. There was a big flood in that region, and having an up-to-date map will help responders to deliver aid.
