I find ChatGPT useful in getting my server to work (since I’m pretty new with Linux)

Other than that, I check in on how local image models are doing around once every couple of months. I would say you can achieve some cool stuff with it, but not really any unusual stuff.

Oh, I had some of those last year on some lemmy thread somewhere.

honestly, its pretty good, and it still works if I use a lower resolution screenshot without metadata (I haven’t tried adding noise, or overlaying something else but those might break it). This is pixelwave, not midjourney though.

I thought it was funny how Trump was just nodding along while Harris was saying that people often leave his rallies due to boredom. Also, him basically outright saying that immigration has never happened in the history of the country, along with the other nonsensical things he’s said.

I should specify - I would need to cover the whole microphone to block the LED as the LED is inside (picture)

I have a microphone that when plugged into my computer, even if the computer is sleeping, shines a bright blue light that cannot be covered up without removing the sticker covering the screws holding the mesh in, so I just put a pair of socks on top of it as a ‘temporary’ solution

Some pride in your country is definitely good, but its equally important (if not more) to notice things that could be improved and examples of other places that do things differently.

I actually thought that subplot was one of the more interesting ones

I think they would be good books if he took the whole plot and compressed it into 3, maybe 5 books. It’s just too long, too many pointless tangents, too many random characters to remember who may or may not reappear at some point in the next 10 books… as soon as you get to an interesting part it switches perspectives to the most boring events imaginable.

Is there even a protagonist? Yeah, I agree though.

Wow, I’m glad I have auto-renew enabled.

The fact that I can go on eBay and get an actually usable laptop for $40

Like, I was playing around with freecad on it a couple days ago. It just works. The fact that I can get a fully functional personal computer for cheaper than 8 hamburgers is crazy.

Yea, without an archive the internet is probably the least permanent form of media we’ve invented so far

Language is always going to change over time. There’s not much anyone can do about it, whether they like it or not. And if you understand what is being said, does it really matter? There have been language mistakes that have slowly been formalized into written language in the past, and I’m sure that will continue into the future.

IMO writing is only really ‘wrong’ if it doesn’t convey the intended meaning or tone (which I’m sure happens a fair amount as well)

the idea is that god created semi-hairless primates intentionally to look similar to him. IDK how that is supposed to fit in with our knowledge of natural history, it’s weird to me that people who understand evolution can still think “well some of this is obviously wrong, but perhaps these completely unprovable parts (that seem to rely on the other parts) are right?”

I have heard a lot of people criticize specific aspects of the language that they deem to be bad design, especially the type system. Its probably mostly because its popular though.

If the internet isn’t fun for you, find a community on the internet that you actually enjoy being in. Easier said than done, I know, but the internet is a big place.

Are a wiki and a discord mutually exclusive? They seem to fill very different roles.

No, I was wondering about the side of the guardrail facing the canal. If you look closely, there is a metal strip on that side too, which is not something I’ve seen here in the US. Maybe it’s just there to add extra strength? I guess traditional guardrails rely a lot on the guardrail deforming and acting like a net, which might cause a problem when the edge of the canal is so near, IDK

I doubt its ai - I don’t think AI would get that guardrail that consistent. It has that little hole in the exact same place over every bar, even the distant ones. Although, why is the guardrail double sided when there’s no road on the other side?

Nevermind, I found it on google maps.
