Goodbye avatars .io - hello unavatar!

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/07/goodbye-avatars-io-hello-unavatar/

Given a social media user's username, how do you get a picture of their avatar?

I always used avatars.io - but sadly that service has bitten the dust. So I've switched to unavatar.

It's dead easy to use. https://unavatar.now.sh/twitter/edent will return @edent's avatar. You can use GitHub, Facebook, Gravatar, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube, SoundCloud, and a couple of other providers.

Simple to use, and easy to embed in an <img> element.

It's also open source and looks pretty easy to deploy if you want to host it yourself.

Why is this needed?

In an ideal world, there would be a standard for where to find a user's avatar. Possibly a .well-known resource. Until then, we have to make do with 3rd party services playing intermediary.

Wow ein spannender Artikel über mein Lieblingsgenre #SciFi in der @ndaktuell :

"Sci-Fi-#Serien und -#Filme verkleiden sich als ... #Kriegsfilme, obwohl das Genre viel mehr zu bieten hat"

Danke @Stege für den Hinweis #ScienceFiction #Andor #StarWars #ElectricState #Dune #BladeRunner #PerryRhodan #Eternauta #Avatar #UrsulaLeGuin

Always wanted a #pixelart profile pic.
Inspired by @joel 's work, I decided to give it a first go at #pixelorama, a really easy to use and neat piece of software by @OramaInteractive.

I used their reference photo feature to help me get a photo of myself into pixel art. I'm pretty happy at my first go!

Should I change my profile pic to this one? The current one was also drawn by me with #TayasuiSketches on the iPad.

Using Libravatar/Gravatar for your profile in Planet GNOME

Now that the new planet.gnome.org website is live, we have added Libravatar and Gravatar support. Instead of having the Planet website host user images itself, we are giving members the choice to use profile images/avatars from these services.

If you are interested in updating your profile picture, check out the instructions at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Websites/planet.gnome.org#adding-an-avatar and file an issue. Extra points if you do a merge-request!

The old hackergotchis are an important part of our community’s history, so I set up a static website to host the old files. Feel free to file an issue if you want yours taken down from there.

→ 'I Loved That AI:' Judge Moved by AI-Generated Avatar of Man Killed in Road Rage Incident
https://www.404media.co/i-loved-that-ai-judge-moved-by-ai-generated-avatar-of-man-killed-in-road-rage-incident/

“In a first, the Arizona #court accepted an AI-generated video statement in which an #avatar made to look and sound like [the man who was killed] spoke.”

“[They] used #StableDiffusion fine-tuned with a Low-Rank Adaptation (#LoRA) to craft the #video. "And then we used a #generative #AI and deep learning processes to create a voice #clone from his original #voice"”

Yet another mouse & rat escaped containment!

They are free additions if you already own the 'YA Squirrel' avatar!

I was frankly scared to re-experience the original James Cameron picture Avatar after knowing for certain that it is much worse, technically speaking, in comparison to the second film in the franchise. Yet I was confident that the film at the very least should be good. So I took my worries aside and watched it again. Does it hold up? Well let's talk about it.

I made myself review both Avatar movies in one day, which was something I had to do to see the progress, or lack thereof of James Cameron. And there is progress. A lot of it!

Warning: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Will Be Longer Than Its Predecessors

James Cameron reveals that the third “Avatar” film will have a longer runtime than both the original and “The Way of Water.”

The second one was so boring I had to watch it in chunks to slog my way through it.
