- Comment on Is everyone so depressed now partially because modern science has probably proven there is no god / afterlife? 3 months ago:
Figuring it out on your own is science, but I have a feeling OP didn’t actually personally search the world for one-horned horses or pointy eared-people with long lifespans. I bet they didn’t even work out how biology changes with scale and how evolution works to show that there can’t be tiny winged people.
- Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees? 8 months ago:
If someone is executed for murder, then you definitely shouldn’t hire them. But if they served their punishment, letting them out of jail and then not letting them earn the money the need to survive is a recipe for disaster.
- Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees? 8 months ago:
I feel like having no way to legally get food or shelter would make it more likely they’d commit crime again, not less.
- Comment on When using AI and machine learning driven features, how much are they processing data locally vs. remotely? 9 months ago:
If you the download size is in the gigabytes and need a good graphics card to run it, you’re doing it locally. Otherwise, it’s remote.
- Comment on Are MRNA vaccines any riskier than other vaccines? 10 months ago:
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, was discovered in the early 1960s; research into how mRNA could be delivered into cells was developed in the 1970s. So, why did it take until the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 for the first mRNA vaccine to be brought to market?
It sounds like the research isn’t new, but there hasn’t been any widely available vaccine since COVID. And given that mRNA vaccines aren’t the only option, it seems safer to stick with a more traditional vaccine.
- Comment on I'm using gpt4 on bing.com they call it copilot, i can only get it to generate images in 1024x1024 is there a way to get a higher resolution? 10 months ago:
I’m not familiar with how they do it in particular, but I do have some experience with what AI art in general can do.
I know there’s techniques to generate larger images, but it takes more computing power so I doubt you’d find a place doing it for free. Your simplest method would be to use a simpler AI upscaler like waifu2x. It won’t be able to add meaningful details, but it can still make it look okay at a higher resolution. Beyond that, you could start with a smaller image and then outpaint to add more to it. Or maybe generate on image, then upscale parts of it and using upscaling and outpainting from the parts already generated to do the rest.
- Comment on Was Jesus Christ a lich? 10 months ago:
Although there is no explicit evidence in the Gospels, we have reason to suggest that he also may have worn phylacteries.
- Comment on What are some common everyday examples of this phenomenon? (see body) 11 months ago:
- Rain dance And we’re not clear on this one, but:
- Seeding clouds for rain
- Comment on How is it that we hate the taste of coffe and still drink it? 1 year ago:
If you just want the caffeine you could just take a pill.
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 1 year ago:
But you’d have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he intended not to uphold the oath of office when he made it.
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 1 year ago:
That’s not true.
Source? This says it also mentions piracy and counterfeiting, but it’s just listing it as one of the enumerated powers.
and we gave Congress the power to create laws, which all citizens are bound.
Exactly. Congress has to make things a crime. The fact that the Constitution says that the president has to faithfully carry out their duties doesn’t make not doing that a crime.
If you’re saying that Congress did pass such a law, can you tell me which one?
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 1 year ago:
Why isn’t it advertising friendly? Is there some reason getting someone to go to your website from a porn site or app is less helpful than getting them to go there from somewhere else?
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 1 year ago:
I can’t even figure out how to open an app on my computer. I can do it on my phone, but the keyboard and screen on there is tiny.
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 1 year ago:
If you make money through ads, you either use one of the few companies that accept porn
I don’t get this one. Why won’t people advertise on porn sites? A people who watch porn less likely to be customers? Or are they just as good, and there’s a huge market untapped outside of gambling and porn and everyone should advertise their services on porn sites? Or is it that the only companies that are good at figuring out what specific ads to show just refuse, and in an alternate reality where they didn’t you could just as easily advertise on NSFW websites?
- Comment on Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new window? 1 year ago:
I made this user style to help fix that problem by outlining images, and also make it so when you click an image it expands over the page at full size up to the width of the screen.
Though it’s not perfect. If the image is already black it’s hard to tell. You could change the outline color to something less common, but that looks ugly. Changing the boundary radius would probably be the best, but it’s already marked as !important so I don’t think I can change it. I’m open to suggestions on improving that part.

However there’s no easy way to force a browser to open a link in the current tab if the site wants to use a new tab.
Just hit ctrl+w after clicking the link. That will close the current tab.

The Constitution lists one crime: treason. He didn’t do that. Not faithfully carrying out the duties of the office is absolutely grounds for impeachment, but it’s not a crime.

What are you going to do, arrest every president?
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 1 year ago:
You mean there wasn’t yet? I don’t know if that’s true, but I know there most definitely is precedent now.
- Comment on Don't you agree that individuals that went back to reddit are the same type that don't want to stick to different stuff assuming that everyone else has done their research? 1 year ago:
I come here occasionally, but for the most part I use Reddit because it has the biggest user base, so you can find far more specific and active subreddits than Lemmy communities.

Or, and I admit I’m just spitballing here, maybe they consider fetuses to be people just like they say, and all the women who are pro-choice don’t just feel like they need to be oppressed?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
You have to remember that pro-life people consider fetuses to be people. How many of your constituents would need to favor murdering babies for you to vote in favor if it?
