  • Since it's been mentioned a lot this week because of these changes, here's David Revoy's guide to a fully FOSS professional digital painting setup, not perfect because many, MANY things aren't working as they should yet (both the move to Wayland and to Appimage/Flatpak have complicated things and lots is broken), but he guides you to a setup that works today.

    There's also the option of different commercial stuff (The Affinity suite, DaVinci products, etc.), but i'm a bit biased

  • The AI techbros wanna scare you with tales of AI becoming sentient and going rogue to destroy us all, when corporations, mindless machines made out of people to maximize profits at all cost, are already doing all that

  • So, it's possible to build but no one has made it yet? Because i have negative interest in messing with that kinda tech, and would rather just "apt-get install whatever-image-describing-gizmo" so i wouldn't be the one who does it

  • Now i want this standalone in a commandline binary, take an image and give me a single phrase description (gut feeling says this already exists but depending on Teh Cloudz and OpenAI, not fully local on-device for non-GPU-powered computers)

  • I have no desire to interact with the hallucinating plagiarism machines if i can help it, that's why i asked PEOPLE, who have actually used the software i ask about

  • Good old Scunthorpe problem

  • It's a commons, it's the same principle

  • Wait, it supports bangs? That's the #1 thing that keeps me specifically with DDG, once i have some time i'll have to explore this (probably not earlier than a couple weeks though)

  • Decades ago, i was there when they tried to crush Linux, never trust those fucks

  • At a glance it looks like Mumble is not dead at all, latest "preview" release is from last month

  • Promoting nazism IS inherently putting people in danger, that IS their thing

  • Oh no I'll stick with Beehaw, I'm in because of their principles, same reason why i believe .ml might likely end defederated

  • Beehaw seems to lack the option (can block users and communities, but not instances, is it a recent Lemmy setting that isn't on the version on Beehaw?), then again Beehaw is very strict on who it federates with so i expect the worsening of that instance will inevitably lead to their defederation

  • 45 minutes long video, is there a text/blogpost version of this?
