  • Where does the training data come from to create indecent images of children?

  • The Realme photo looks fake. You just don't get that much light at night from a 30 second shot without a lot of post processing. You'd probably get blurry stars too, depending on your location.

    It's great if you want to take photos of your friends at night, but if you're trying to get genuine photos of the stars, I wouldn't trust it.

  • If you're getting pain, especially a lot of pain, you should probably speak to a doctor. You shouldn't be feeling pain just from stopping the flow, it's just clenching a muscle.

  • Thanks for replying :)

    I'm trying to learn how to use Docker at the moment, but not getting very far. I may be able to use it for this in the future, but for now I need to stick with what I know :)

  • I'll give it a look, thanks :)

  • I hadn't considered it, I thought it was just for SBCs.

    I'll give it a try in a VM, thanks :)

  • At the moment, Docker is frying my brain >.<

    I'm trying it out with a handful of programs, and I'm struggling so far. Too many of the guides assume that you already have a certain level of Docker knowledge, and can be very confusing. It's something that I'm going to have to look at in the future :)

  • Thanks for the detailed reply :)

    I've tried setting up a separate profile on my laptop for the main site that I manage, but I'm finding the permissions to be difficult. I need to transfer files from my existing profile to the new website profile, but I keep getting all sorts of errors telling me that I'm not allowed, even if I put the users in the same group and give the group read and write access, or if I try changing ownership to the website user.

    I've probably set up something wrong with the new user, but it made me think about other ways of doing it, and how to back it up. I'm probably going with a VM so that as well as a regular backup, I can back up the whole VM and store a copy on other physical computers. If something goes wrong, like my laptop getting stolen, I can just fire up the VM on another computer and keep working.

    @mojo_raisin@lemmy.world had a good idea though, of using different themes and the logo to help differentiate them. I think I'll use that whichever way I go.

    XFCE is a good idea, thanks. I use Xubuntu on my media server at the moment, so I'm used to the way that it works. I like the look of KVM too. Apparently it's faster than VirtualBox, and that's usually fine for my needs, so it should be good :)

    Having different Firefox and Thunderbird profiles under the same login is something that I'm definitely avoiding. I've tried things like that in the past, and have trouble keeping them separated. I have some memory issues, probably related to ADHD, and find it too easy to open the wrong copy of a program when I'm focused on something else.

  • Ironically, JWM is the reason I don't use distros like Puupy os DSL. For some reason, I just can't get on with it. I don't know if it's muscle memory or something, but I just can't get to grips with it.

    Saying that though, it's always worth another shot. As you suggest, I should only need the two programs, and maybe something lime FileZilla, so starting them at boot should help too :)

  • Alpine does seem to be the popular distro in the thread :)

    I'm planning on trying it out tonight and seein g how I get on with the package manager, not that I should need it much after the initial installation.

  • Thanks for the suggestion :)

    Profiles are what I'm trying to avoid. I have memory issues, possibly linked to ADHD, so I need the isolation more than the RAM savings. If everything's inside a container, I've got less chance of launching the wrong instance and screwing something up.

  • I have, but I don't like the WM. I'll have another look at it though and see what it's like with VMs :)

    I tend to use Debian for VM clients because essentially all blogs assume apt-get and I hate Ubuntu.

    This is why I usually use Mint :D

  • Thanks for the suggestion, but NixOS is a bit too complicated for what I need right now :)

  • If someone lies to you, especially if it's to trick you into giving them something, it's ok to feel upset.

    The only person who is constantly saying anything about people being owed sex is you. Seek help.

  • Exactly. How many kids do they think are going to the shops alone to buy phones?

  • The island is tiny, and only has about half a dozen houses on it. The visitors are there because it's a nature reserve, so generally don't want to be on their phones anyway. It's not worth setting up a relay station over just telling everyone before they get there.

  • Was he angry, scared off, or just thought I was easy?

    OP asked for possible reasons for why the man acted the way he did. It's right there in the post that you apparently didn't read. I offered one possible explanation based on experience.

    I've repeatedly said that nobody owes anything to anyone else. You are the person who keeps suggesting that I said different. You seem like you're trying to paint me into a corner to try and get me to say something that I didn't. You're either arguing in bad faith, or are incapable of understanding someone else's point of view.

    To clarify, yet again, the girls who would pull this trick would act as if they were interested in the guy that they chose, and were interested in sleeping with them. They were not interested in sleeping with them, they just wanted free drinks. The guys would find out at the end of the night that these girls were pretending to be interested just to get drinks, and would be annoyed that they had been tricked. At no point did anyone owe anything to anyone else.

    A guy who had been tricked like this in the past might avoid anyone that he thinks might be trying it in the future.

    Again, OP was clearly not doing this. I only offered this as a possible reason for the way that the guy in OP's post had acted. It was based on my own experiences from running a nightclub for several years, and seeing people act the same way.

    I resent the fact that you're trying to twist my words to make it sound like I think that people owe other people sex, and I'm done with you. Go troll someone else.

  • OP asked for opinions on why the guy walked away. I offered an opinion based on my experience from my many years running a nightclub. Absolutely nobody has suggested that anyone should be obligated to sleep with anyone else. In fact, the last sentence of my last post said exactly the opposite.

    As I've repeatedly said, OP was clearly not doing this. I suggested that maybe the guy that OP was flirting with has been burned by someone else doing that to him in the past, and that's why he reacted in that way.

    @appledinosaurcat@beehaw.org I'm not always great at getting my point across, so if I have implied that you did anything wrong, please know that it was not my intention, and I apologise.
