Being so agressive over someone else’s cluelessness is not OK. Imagine if teachers in schools were that punitive over children solving problems wrongly, kids would never have learnt anything.
I didn’t claim that politeness makes one’s assumption correct all of a sudden, I was pointing out that it was an indicator that OP was not being trolled and could’ve presented their disagreement not in the form of drama, enlighten the other side of the discussion and have a nice day.
You are literally putting words in that person’s mouth. They were suggesting therapy as a good idea before medical transition and expressed their opinion in a polite, elaborative way. And here you go running around claiming that they push the message that therapy should be required, that they make someone unable to transition without going to therapy etc.
You don’t have to be so defensive when you’re arguing with someone who doesn’t threaten neither youin particular nor any group of people in general. You could’ve expressed your disagreement politely and go mind your day, but you chose to stir up all this drama.
That person doesn’t gatekeep anyone and their reply to you clearly shows that they engage in good faith.
It depends. In some cases it is better to keep your head cool to make more weighed decisions
There’s a lot of literature on the work of Soviet partisans. Some survival guides from three letter agencies of different countries were leaked. I’d “arm” myself with those (and actually arm myself with real guns if I will have access to them) and move to the forest. Forests and mountains are an excellent terrain type to go into hiding with both cover and natural resources to keep you going
It’s a code forge like Github or Gitlab. It uses open source technology on its backend and is often used by FOSS/privacy-minded projects.
Ah, I see :( Poor hamster…
I had to google what a sunroom is and I still don’t get what did it die from
Instead of drag and dropping you can open your HTML+CSS files and copypaste their contents.
This is exactly what you are looking for. You don’t even need to download anything.
Looking at the system journal using journalctl is always a good start. Move to the page, which shows events around the time the described incident happened and try to see if there’s anything worth of your attention, likely highlighted as a warning (yellow) or an error (red).
This post has #kdenlive tag. AFAIK it is a desktop-only application.
Your initial wording made me mistakingly think that your point was in showing that AI made creations worse but before, when humans made it themselves.
Now that I see your real point, I still cannot agree. Your arguing has a false premise of thinking that everyone wants genuine human expression everywhere and eye candy images are no longer enough. Yet proofs of that not being the case are right before your eyes - look at the amount of upvotes on this post. The ones posting comments like
I’d rather see a crayon picture than AI slop.
are a vocal minority. Most people see the good enough image generated by AI and pass on. They never bother to zoom in and look for the artifacts that it has. Most don’t have the time to look for the ChatGPT wording, they read the post diagonally for 10 seconds and move on with their life.
The argument has its roots in the problem of our different social surroundings. Maybe your life is full of people who have the time and energy to enjoy art that is not just looking decent but has a meaning, a message to it. Mine has a lot of people who are overworked and undereducated to play the game of being culturally superior, to look for humane expressions.
Sometimes, technologically decent is enough. For some people, a simple eye candy that your view for a short period of time is enough to improve their mood during a break. It does not erase the point of high art. It does not threaten it. Thus, I find people that come barking at every AI-generated piece of imagery or text or whatever, claiming that posting this is stealing from others, that such posts serve zero purpose, that it’s better to be shown something poorly drawn with crayon, ridiculous and pitiful.
This is selective memory at best. There’s a lot of so-called art by real humans and text wishes that are way way worse than what OpenAI’s algorithms produce.
Could they? What if they don’t have the skills to draw it themselves?
Not everyone lives in the so-called first world. Here the ISPs don’t care about pirating.
I rely on friends’ recommendations and local Telegram channels
Actually, it’s not OK to bother to breathe. Your body is supposed to rely on reflexes to do that, so you shouldn’t really notice.
They went as far here in Ukraine as making some services exclusive to those who have the app. The official government app for digital documents and services, Diia, also has stupid integrity check, which makes it unable to be installed from Aurora Store, which makes me cut out from such services, because I don’t have Google Services installed. By the way, there are Google trackers in the app.
They should stop trying to do everything at once. This whole game of trying to maintain a huge server is nonsense for such a small team. I believe they should drop it completely and focus on improving the protocol and technologies around it to make it smoother for people to host their own servers.
