Wait, he didn't just try to claim copyright over AI created material... he tried to claim the AI could copyright it?
Lol. Lmao, even.

Used to be "Squabbles". It, Lemmy, and Discuit were three of the major Reddit alternatives thrown around during the Reddit protests.

If the refrigerant on my fridge leaked and they refused to fix it, I'd sure swear off their ACs too, yeah.

ASUS annihilated the possibility I'd ever buy any ASUS product after the way they handled the 7800X3D/AM5 VoC issue. I had never really noticed, but a pretty big swathe of my tech came from them (laptop, monitor, and motherboard among others) but no more.

I remember idly wondering how DMs worked in Lemmy, and I was kinda shocked when I realized they aren't secure.

There's some serious false equivalency going on if you think a $10 "support the devs" pack (that was given out to free for everyone who bought early access) is worthy of ire like the usual AAA MTX hellscape.
Launcher is trash though.

Assuming you haven't already, Jocat's "Crap Guide to D&D" series is an entertaining little primer! IIRC the most relevant one would be the character sheet episode, followed by the individual class episodes.

101st Airborne has been issued new M4A1's since 2012, and the Army has been converting M4s to M4A1s since 2014.

Real issue is actually going to be a (lack of) full auto. Sincerely doubt anything in these pics is an MG. Even if Ukraine fabricates automatic components (drop-in-auto-sears do exist for ARs), the barrels aren't going to hold up to automatic fire well.
They might be useful in a police/border guard/militia capacity, though?

I've only found that true for days I am prompting without a specific image in mind. The second something specific gets in my head, and even hours of fiddling and tweaking prompts won't get the result that satisfies me (though I might get a bunch of cool tangential output along the way).

I mean, if it's some attempt at a passion project I guess it could be? But I'm usually just letting my GPU churn out cool wallpapers or character art in the background while I watch YouTube. There's no real soul going into it, but I'm not pretending to put in any, either.

I've always explained it like this:
Every time you press that button, you'll get an image. Maybe even a really good image. But it will never be the image you had in mind.

The only way I can see to do it is either stripping long-standing free functionality from other users, or making it completely pointless.

There have been a couple of these, though this one is new to me!
It always makes me sad that they never seem to gain much traction. It seems like disconnected from a larger platform (and potentially the exclusive time window?) they never draw many users.

Just like r/place 😎
I know this has crossed the minds of more than a few people here over the past several days. What would that event look like? A new platform that implements ActivityPub and attempts to federate somehow? A completely separate site (à la pxls.space) related only in spirit? Something in between? Further, how do you think it would play out, given the difference in our userbase and Reddit's?

r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.
It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.

Notably, the blobs all appear at seemingly the exact same time. Just... plonk, a random patch of noise on the art.

I might could live with repetitive if it wasn't for the anger. I've got a 2'x2' print of 2022's canvas sitting next to my desk, and I still get lost in it every now and then. Just another trip exploring a new canvas could be fun.
But then I open the page and 15% of it is just "fuck spez" and everyone is angry. Rightfully so, but... I just don't feel it anymore.

I think it felt fine in 2022, the five year gap was long enough. But this year... it just feels hollow to me. Can't tell if that's from repetition or just me being burnt out on Reddit, or both.
I came to the realization that while Durin's Bane likely hid shortly after the War of Wrath and missed the events of the Second Age entirely, Gandalf might not have been the first Ring-bearer it encountered. Would Durin VI have had his Ring when the Balrog was first unearthed? I see no reason for this to _not_ be the case, but I can't find any reference one way or another. Further, would his son Náin I also have, after Durin VI was killed?
I've been messing around with GPTQ models with ExLlama in ooba, and have gotten 33b models @ 3k running smoothly, but was looking to try something bigger than my VRAM can hold. However, I'm clearly doing something wrong, and the koboldcpp.exe documentation isn't clear to me. Does anyone have a good setup guide? My understanding is koboldcpp.exe is preferable for GGML, as ooba's llama.cpp doesn't support GGML at >4k context yet.
I've always loved the ideas VE brings to the game, but the balance can get questionable. More than once I've started a playthrough to find the new VFE mod that just released is more problematic than its worth. If you use the VE suite, are there any you avoid? I'm looking to start a new modded playthrough soon, but it's been a while and I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.
In the interest of kickstarting more discussion here, what cool new things coming down the pipe are you excited for? I'm personally had my eye on Team Abnormal's Caverns and Chasms for a long while now; it actually looks like a release might finally be in sight!
