It can, and has helped people when their art is stolen by smaller entities. But for sure when it is the big companies doing the stealing it does not do a lot. I never said copyright is good, and abolishing it is better, but how far are we from doing that? This is US centric, but it would require our government to not be so heavily influenced by corporate money.

All you have to do is already have money!

Weird, but I also tend to run in nerdy circles. I have heard lots of other people talk about it just in passing and been asked directly

Kinda the opposite experience from me. I have heard it brought at the local brewery several times, and have even been asked directly what I thought of it as a non-binary person. Granted, that last one was with some regulars and they were legitimately asking if they should get their HP tattoo covered, but still

How do you figure that?

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it's not the most egregious example, and I think the combo of bad Photoshop and generative AI is probably close to the mark. That being said, if an outlet uses AI, I am far less likely to trust them in general.

Shitty AI art hot dogs aside (seriously why do you need AI hotdog "photos"), this is kind if a nothing article. They even rightfully point out, "The study has limitations. For example, the research does not prove direct cause and effect." Correlation is not causation and all that. It boils down to have things in moderation, including processed meats. Something health experts have been saying for decades.

I use magic earth, and it is inaccurate with traffic most of the time. Still, it is accurate sometimes, and most of the time I just need the turn by turn because I already know where there will be traffic on most days.

I'm the one that reported that comment. You were being unnecessarily rude, and have been to other people on here

Welp, I regrettably checked this out. Much like other folks have said, this is just a platform for hate speech and conspiracy theorists. Do not recommend

So the likes of The Quartering, Babylon Bee, and JP Sears on the front page don't bother you?

Edit: Whoops, I somehow missed Stephan fucking Molyneux

ESL means "English as a Second Language," so no need to get snarky. LLM means "large language model". I was complaining generally, not at you, but with other comments you made I am now less sure

 

I am very excited for the 1.0 release! My friends and I are currently playing a multiplayer game in Update 8, and we are so close to finishing all the space elevator parts for the first time.

 

Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS...

 

We finished the last piece of the cat path I posted about earlier! This one goes from the laundry room, to the stairwell, and then into the guest bedroom on the upper floor (yes, I know the carpet needs replaced in that closet). They are already using them and seem to love the new path already.

My partner and I have been talking about making some cat paths in our house since long before we owned our house. We recently got 2 new dogs, so now it is a high priority project. The first step was putting up some shelves in the hallway and making a portal from the hallway to the bedroom closet (you can see it just above the tent). The surround for the portal is this 3D printed tunnel

The next project is going to be putting a portal from the spare bedroom into the stairwell so they can go up and down floors without the dogs being in the way

I am stripping and re-sealing a corner shower stall, and am having a hell of time removing all the old caulk. I also discovered the previous homeowners decided to just caulk over the previous caulk that was on there, so I am removing 2 or 3 layers depending on the location. It was leaking in the spots that had 3 layers so I think they just added more caulk to "fix" leaks. I have the chemical caulk remover, and that certainly helps, but it still is taking a metric fuck-ton of manual labor. Any tricks/suggestions for removal of very old caulk? I am about to throw a scotch brite on a palm sander and go to town.
