I’d argue it’s more like creating the menu, specifying the contents of the menu but having someone/thing else actually make the food.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 hours ago:
it’s just colors and noise.
But that’s exactly my point; logos, icons, stock images etc. are already nothing but noise meant to just catch the eye…might as well just get it auto-generated.

But you still choose the final result…for something like that, the how is really quite irrelevant, it is just the end result that matters and that still remains in the hands of humans as they’re the ones to settle on the final solution.

When fixing a 3D printer always go for the proper solution right away, because you will eventually get tired of the wonky half-assed solution you’ve spent hours or days getting to perform properly and just go for the proper solution anyway. Save yourself the frustration, time, and wasted filament in failed prints and do it right the first time.

It’s impressive technology, and I understand that it’s exciting, but it’s not art.
I would add that a lot (most?) graphical elements we encounter in daily lives do not require art or soul in the least. Stock images on web pages, logos, icons etc. are examples of graphical elements that are IMO perfectly fine to use AI image generation for. It’s the menial labour of the artist profession that is now being affected by modern automation much like so many other professions have. All of them resisted so of course artists resist too.

It sure isn’t legally public available either.

I’m not the person who posted the widget issue, but IME many FOSS solutions (not just weather-related) are more often than not aesthetically/UX crap.

You can either buy an app or pay with your data.
No this implies you get a choice, which you don’t. You can get it for free and sell your data, or you can pay for it…and still also sell your data. The real money is in the data, they won’t give that up…ever.
- Comment on Is my stepper motor failing? 1 week ago:
It definitely sounds like a fan scraping on something. it also seems to be triggered by the extruder changing direction, but only briefly as it jerks. Have you checked fan bearings in the hotend and part cooling? Or just something as simple as parts being tightened properly?

I have no trust that lifetime is in fact lifetime, and the price is also too high compared to the product value IMO.
- Comment on European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance 1 week ago:
There will be the exact same level of surveillance, it’s still just run by banks so there’s no difference there.
- Comment on European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance 1 week ago:
This just sounds like a regular bank transfer to another European bank…input recipient in your self-service online banking and press “transfer”…beep boop done.

The free tier limitation is that it doesn’t work with jellyfin
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Jeælyfin also has this, is just doesn’t work on appleTV
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Year that’s the one I’m using on our appleTV, it’s buggy as hell. “Continue” show often doesn’t work and picks an episode that I’ve watched long ago and not the next in line, often never updating it despite watching several episode over several weeks. Switching language on shows pretty much doesn’t work at all, it will either never change from default audio language, or use an entirely different language than the one picked from the list.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Is there something better than jellyfin? I’ve been using it for a little over a year, and it works for the most part, but clients are often pretty buggy (especially on apple apple devices)
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
Interesting I have had the exact opposite experience with my leaf 2. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now, never in a case, just drop it in my bag loose with everything else. Not a scratch on the screen at all and it just works. But yeah, since I’ve had literally zero issues I cannot speak to the quality of customer service, I haven’t needed them.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
The problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon
Well then those authors can go straight to corpo-sellout hell and die a painfully death, I’d rather never read a book again than buy from amazon.

Boox is even easier than kobo, all you need to do is…nothing at all. It just accepts all formats with no lockdown out of the box.
- Comment on FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU 1 week ago:
By open sourcing electrical specs, hardware specs, design specs, communication specs…so that anyone can make 1:1 drop-in compatible equipment for the system.
- Comment on FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU 1 week ago:
You have to. The only way it works is with a completely new heating system which requires a completely new nozzle design.
Yes a new design is required, we agree. But there is zero need for them to do everything they can to enforce vendor lock-in other than them insisting on that bullshit.
- Comment on FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU 1 week ago:
Looks like they’re using some bullshit proprietary nozzle design
- Comment on Why BambuLabs A1 pooping so frequently? (Sorry, not sorry.) 1 week ago:
Did you slice the model? It will only go to purge when it gets the command, so the command in the Gcode. If the original model contained filament swaps, but you just set it to use the same color without removing these filament swaps, then it will still go purge like you describe.

Title case is a thing. Major words in caps, minor lower
I know, but in this case it does impose a significant ambiguity that’s normally not the case.
Spam bots probably don’t read comments on their posts though
True, but we can still enjoy interaction around this post without caring about the bot.

The irony of using Polish (the nationality) and not polish (the verb) in a headline for an article regarding grammar checking to polishing your writing.

I sometimes get this if z-offset is slightly too low, try increasing distance to bed by something like 0.005mm or something

- Comment on Which Core XY printer? 2 weeks ago:
But also worse…the formbot kits are good quality and you get them with enclosure which the rook kit you linked at least doesn’t. I’d rather buy the formbot 0.2 than the LDO rook.
