For comparison, an American store brand toast:

No, it’s not. This refers to pre-packaged bread, e. g. white bread, toast etc. - the stuff you find in a supermarket shelf, full of preservatives and other additives.

Hey, no kink shaming.

Silicone toilet brush. Major upgrade over whatever this abomination is (not talking about the replacement head, I get that). Get the triangular one with the short nubs.

Alright, that one is on me half-assing my reading. I’m with you on effectiveness.

I’m with you on more ethical solutions being available, but efficient? In turns of total energy usage required to go from (often unethically acquired) training data to a manifestation of a prompt as an image, maybe.

But regarding the effort and efficiency when purely generating an image? I think not.

There is a person on Lemmy running GenAI models locally (on their own machines) using solar power, and honestly, that’s totally fine by me. I’m also fine with a DM generating some art for their next hombrew game they run with a couple of friends.

Acquisition of training data and the environmental impact of data centers (not only for AI usage) are still problems to be solved, though.

They would still have to go to the club though, and generate the interest / intent by themselves.

I think the service provided should be more like a PA: they call you Friday at 5pm, ask what you’re doing, suggest a couple of activities, and once there, actually make an effort to introduce you to people, suggest common activities, take care of the first hour of awkward conversation so people can get to know each other etc.

$5 says this already exists in Japan.

It absolutely does, on Android at least. On iOS, given Apple’s restrictions, the whole situation is a bit more complicated:

I don’t know what your previous setup was, but given that running resolved fixes your DNS issues, run:

ln -sf ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

This will point programs that use /etc/resolved.conf during DNS resolution to the local DNS server provided by systemd-resolved.

Then, enable resolved so that it is started when you reboot:

systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

Finally, start the service so that it is available immediately:

systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

You will want it run those with the required permissions, e. g. via sudo.

I was not ready for how many stock photos they produced.

The parent comment is correct. CODE is the server, you need the “Collabora Online app” for document editing. I’m not aware if there are alternatives to the ownCloud / Nextcloud apps.

Yeah, you can be a good parent and still miss your old life. Also, your previous life wasn’t necessarily “selfish” - what kind of bleak, one-dimensional outlook is this?

You can love your kid, love to spend time with them, and still want to go to that one event, concert, knitting group, cookout, rave party, bike ride, marathon, whatever. Often, you can integrate your kid once they’re old enough, and at other times you’ll have to sacrifice your plans, maybe not getting together with an old friend you haven’t seen in a while. If that makes you feel a little sad and disappointed, that’s called being a human being with nuanced emotions, not being selfish.

Being a good parent is about loving your kid, trying to integrate them, spending quality time with them, all while staying healthy, emotionally balanced and hopefully teaching your kid how to achieve just that.

Honestly, the best picture is big guy morgunkorn hunched over airbrushing pastries, doing what he loves.

Cakes look amazing, I might need to pick up another hobby. Great job my dude.

That’s a pretty normal picture if you have regular, social interactions. What’s weird is posting that anywhere outside your circle of friends and the picture becoming the topic of public debate after one of the subjects allegedly shot someone.

That being said, and I say this as a married, retired old fuck - that guy definitely fucks.

Heihachi as DLC? Ok, now we’re done.

I don’t think that interpretation, i. e. the absent genitals, is canon.

And, of course: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pools_of_Darkness

Yes, that is absolutely correct.

The key to amazing banana bread is to make it with soft, brown sugar. The stuff that is clumpy, glistening with moisture, reminiscent of molasses. It adds so much to the flavor. And actual nuts, of course.
