“Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song”… even more after rewatching it, now even the intro song hits hard enough for tears.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 2 days ago:
I don’t understand why AI data centers would CONSUME water. Once they fill up their chiller loops, then… that’s it, right?
It’s hard for me to imagine them relying on the temperature of the incoming water, and dumping all the warm water as discharge.
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 2 days ago:
Less fluid intake? Then your body will take moisture from the poo.

Layman: “Does it have five gees or four like my old one?”
- Comment on Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU? 4 days ago:
I seem to recall owning a microsoft tablet that could not have secure boot disabled. Why do you suppose it would be hard when (much like phones) there are already products (like chromebooks) that have done this?

My mom once showed me an ad listing cars in the $300 range. It might have been the model-t era, but still…
- Comment on When you're stressing against an opponent, remember, they're stressing just as much about you too 2 weeks ago:
When you’re stressing about an opponent, remember that you’re hurting yourself and giving them an advantage. Don’t do that.

Create/build/make something.

My compliments to your vocabulary and effective word choice.
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 weeks ago:
I don’t see why… once you “buy a column” (which you must weigh the trade-off towards readability), subsequent uses of that column on other lines are free (save the line itself, of course).
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 weeks ago:
Ok… just for you, I will extend the saying to be “every line and column is a liability”.
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 weeks ago:
Even then, so the theory goes… every line of code is a liability, it is only emergent properties of the system as a whole that makes it an asset. It takes but one line to destroy it’s value, and in general a 2kloc codebase is more valuable than a 4kloc codebase, if they do the same thing. QED? :)

By using the software as intended. I guess I could file a bug report, but I think it’s hilarious that you think I spent a bunch of time compositing a gimp screenshot to that level of detail, but refuse to believe I would spend even a few seconds compositing the original (with obvious 3rd arm and poorly colored zig-zag join points).
- Comment on Anything for you, babe... 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know what you think I’m claiming. I just mashed some images together, I never said I took them with a camera. FYI: The screenshot is legit. Also, you might be interested to learn about “merge down”, it really helps with layer management. docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-layer-merge-down.html
- Comment on Anything for you, babe... 4 weeks ago:
Yes, the base images are AI generated, but it will actually refuse to generate such an image (child endangerment or abduction).
- Comment on Anything for you, babe... 4 weeks ago:
I have no idea what that actually proves, as I could just as easily mess with the gimp screenshot in, say… gimp… (or I suppose ask GPT to make a gimp screenshot?) but here you go. Image

I wonder if people are mistaking my rough gimp composition for AI giving the guy a third arm…
- Comment on Anything for you, babe... 4 weeks ago:
I guess it is allowed in the sense that moderates won’t remove it, without a guarantee against an angry mob razing it with down-votes. :)

I wonder why people downvote this… some kind of brand loyalty/emnity, or buyer’s remorse?

By extension, ufo and alien abduction stories may be likened to animals trying to get others to believe they saw a tree flash a brilliant light late at night.
