It’s an interesting dichotomy.

On the one hand, you have the entirely valid response that there are actual artists, people that have put the time and effort in to learn how not only to draw, but to make something entertaining and worth looking at.

Those people make art and they publish them on social media for free for people to look at and enjoy, and billionaire tech bros have stolen all of their work without recompense to them and are telling them to go fuck themselves.

Those people have a legitimate right to be angry.

There are also people that understand their plight and have every right to be angry and lodge grievances on actual artists’ behalf. They are here for the social aspect of social media about interacting with other human beings, and so therefore when they are presented with slop, they are allowed to slap it off the table.

On the other hand, you have people who either do not have the artistic skill, or do not have the drive needed to build the artistic skill, but have something entertaining that they want to share with people, and AI gives them a tool to do that.

As a consequence of them not putting the effort in needed to develop the skill to have the art ability to make the thing they want to communicate, they are going to be flamed. And I for one am perfectly okay with that. If I make something that I think is good enough, if I use an AI to assist, I’ll tell people. And then they can hate me or they can like me, it’s entirely up to them.

But as a further consequence of that, the actual artists whose art was stolen by AI are going to be flamed by the people who are attempting to protect those self-same artists because of the similarities of the fake AI shit looking like the real deal.

And that’s some bullshit.

Russians and throwing free thinkers out of windows?

I also built one, and I attached charcoal filters to it, which has significantly reduce the amount of dust in my house, and the air generally smells not at all.

The previous owners of my house were dog owners, so if I don’t run it for a while, then there’s like a hint of dog odor that even replacing all of the carpet and flooring in the entire house and running an ozone machine on workdays for a week has not gotten rid of.

But as long as the fan is running, that odor is taken care of.

I have seen most of Konosuba, but apparently I did not see this prequel arc.

What anime is this? Asking for a friend.

What if that guy offended the gods by jerking it, and so the gods cursed him and said if you ever jerk it again, the entire city will be destroyed, and everyone will know it was you?

I was only mildly into anime when a friend of mine showed me this

I didn’t get a lot of the references, but in the, I don’t know, decades since then, I’ve watched a lot of anime, so I decided to re-watch it, and it holds up pretty well.

I’m only six episodes in, though. I wonder how I’m gonna fare with the Endless Eight.

It’s kind of funny in retrospect, but when the .ML groups started getting filtered out from federation, their users started actually going to other communities and instigating arguments.

It was like they’re not happy with just having their own little shithole to poop in. They had to go and shit in other people’s shitholes as well.

The reason I say it was funny is that there was actually a discussion and an argument over whether or not we should drfederate from .ml, and once we did, we found out exactly why it was right to defederate from them in the first place.

There were a lot of people who were like, “no, it’s censorship to defederate from an entire community because of a few bad actors”, and “we shouldn’t punish the many for the actions of the few”, but once the majority ruled and we defederated from them, it became incredibly apparent that we were right to do so, and that only the only people that are having accounts there are trolls, tankies, and people that like to start shit for the lolz like its 2007 on the internet again.

Only the world’s biggest combination of idiot and asshole into one single human being would ever do that to the most prosperous country on the planet, and, assuming there was an election, the people would have to be absolute bum-fuckingly astoundingly stupid to elect him in the first place.

And you know that’s definitely a second term action, so the fact that they would have elected such an absolute turd monster of a human being twice would mean that they would deserve anything that happened to them, and I feel sorry for the poor innocents in any such country that were against it the entire time but are stuck powerless at anything short of violent rebellion to do anything to stop it.

You would be an idiot not to wife her immediately.

I was joking.

Although it did make me wonder about the open sourcedness of paint and paint products for non-computer usage.

Well, I don’t know about latex, but you could probably make a halfway-decent oil-based paint with clay.

Not sure which oils you should use, but I’m willing to bet there’s quite a few that would be fairly compatible.

I hate it when they make me take my meds because Hatsune won’t talk to me while I’m on them.

Yeah, the more recent versions basically have a form of Docker as part of its setup.

I believe it’s now running on Debian instead of free BSD, which probably simplified the containers set up.

I’m running a TrueNAS server on bare metal with a handful of hard drives. I have virtualized it in the past, but meh, I’m also using TrueNAS’s internal features to host a jellyfin server and a couple of other easy to deploy containers.

Like, there was a big clown craze in, I believe, the 1940s or 50s or something.

My grandma’s house has clowns all the fuck over the place, and there is something uncanny, unsettling, slightly disturbing about them.

I don’t understand the fear of them, just like general revulsion.

I imagine if some of your earliest memories were at your grandmother’s house with all of the weird clowns and something about them stuck with you, that could be a damn good foundation for an irrational fear.

I honestly wonder how many times somebody spent a full hour trying to figure out a way to take a localized joke and relocalize it for another audience that they are familiar with.

Like, hopefully you’re not a misunderstanding and thinking I’m being down on the people that are doing the translation work. Because I’ve tried to do some translation work myself and I am obviously unequipped for the job, which makes me extremely aware of how difficult a task it is, but like, even so, how difficult is it to take a joke in one language and make it into a joke in a different language with the same vibe?
