You know what, fair, that’s my bad.

Investment is nice… but what are they actually investing in? Flatpak kinda works already. What are they planning on spending 500k on?

I paid a premium for a Prusa.

Their documentation and assembly instructions were phenomenal, the build quality has been solid, and from day one I’ve been having good prints and haven’t yet had a print fail.

Maybe the other printers do that too these days, but I wanted a tool and not a project, at least in this case.

Beyond that I also just wanted to support a company with values I support, and have put a lot out into the world that other companies are piggy-backing off of. So yes, maybe another company can also put motors on a frame, but I felt like I was supporting something important when picking Prusa.

I thought that heatsink and fan was a spindle of CDs! I thought that was an interesting place to store them I hadn’t seen before…

I do wonder if they plan to draw a line somewhere in “how AI” the image needs to be. Like, if it’s a raw photo, that’s fine. If it’s enhanced by filters or something, probably not AI fair to say.

But what about the, like, magic eraser and infilling? If I use a tool to erase a bunch of people from a bridge and draw new parts of bridge that weren’t in the original photo… is that AI?

If I use AI to pull a mask and cut someone out from the background, and then put them overtop of a stock background, that uses AI to do work I could have done by hand. Probably fine. But what if I use AI to paint a new background that didn’t exist before this photo. Is that AI?

If I take a picture of me in a real place, doing a real thing, and then use AI infill to paint a different face onto my face so it’s not me anymore, but the rest of the photo including my body is real, is it AI because that person doesn’t exist?

I just feel like if you’ve seen one comic about a dolphin tearing through someone’s asshole and falling in love with a woman only to be cuckolded by her dog, you’ve seen them all…

I remember when art was creative, unique, and surprising…

😉

I like what you were going for, but I’m pretty sure “that” is “ðat”, and “þat” would be like “thot”, but with an “a”. I think.

The difference between them is ð is voiced, as in your throat is making sound and vibrating, whereas þ is voiceless, meaning it’s just air and your throat is still, but the rest of your mouth is in the same shape.

This is similar to how, for my accent at least, “v” and “f” are the same mouth shape, and one is voiced and the other isn’t.

In the link you posted to the original question, it has a section on self hosting. That link takes you here where they say there are two servers.

Also, the documentation for Self Hosting basically starts by saying there are two servers.

I’m not sure how you self hosted it without hearing about it 😛

The really sad thing is that there’s almost something to this. There are practical everyday skills that would be useful in an emergency.

The problem is that these doinks have decided that being an asshole or misogynist has anything to do with felling a tree or making a fucking cottage. No one thinks fixing a car is Toxic Masculinity dipshits. You’re not Toxic because you can pour concrete, you’re Toxic because you put your hand up the waitress’s skirt, and that has nothing to do with God damn concrete.

You wanna be strong and supportive, how about being strong and supportive 365 days of the year when there isn’t a zombie apocalypse or natural disaster, rather than fantasizing about one day being able to wield your skills as leverage to coerce people into having to put up with your bullshit.

Get fucked, I don’t want to live in the compound you’ve decided you’re king of, I’d rather feed the local wolves.

Ah, the Relay Server is only half of the service! If I understand correctly from the documentation I skimmed, and my existing knowledge of streaming systems, the relay server is just there to handle relaying the video stream from one device to another one in the worst-case-scenario that they can’t reach each other to form a direct client-to-client connection.

So probably your relay server has never been used.

But that’s just for media, and just for bad network configurations. The actual part that coordinates who can see which devices, etc, and sets up the media connections, is the other server, which it sounds like you’re not running. So your services are currently still using the public server to find each other and initiate contact!

I don’t know, I haven’t hosted RustDesk myself, but it sounds like maybe you’re not actually using your self-hosted server for your clients? Because that message sounds like it’s entirely about “The Public Server” which is not your server. Right?

I’m not on the list, and I’ve spent all evening and all morning looking at myself in the mirror like “Am… am I a Nazi? I don’t feel like one… but maybe they don’t feel like one either…”

Let me say, as a person who worked at a company that used to silently disappear people, it sucked finding out in Thursday that so-and-so has been gone for a week and a half and wasn’t coming back.

So I, at least, appreciate the idea that they get to communicate at all.

News still sucks, but I wanted to throw that in

Nah, respectfully, I think you’re wrong. Or at least you and I don’t agree on what’s the funny part.

In the original the comic introduces the guy died, we learn about the tattoo, and then the joke is that Death is bashful or whatever. And the extra panel doesn’t really move that joke forward at all, or enhance it or build on it. It kinda undermines it by leaving us with a feeling of “none of that mattered though” rather than leaving us with the image of embarrassed Death. It’s still in there, but it’s no longer the final image that lingers.

But the thing I find interesting is that you’re not alone… I’ve seen jokes and comments before that I felt were just one panel, or one line, too long. We had the punch, and then there’s just something more after. And it’s happened enough I feel like it’s got to be like a “kind of person” or “sense of humour” rather than just “skilled vs unskilled”, you know?

Because your version does have a kind of subversion to it, a sort of second twist… but I think for me it’s a twist back to where we already were, so rather than feeling like it’s adding to the scenario, it instead feels like it’s unconfident in its punchline. Like the comic equivalent of asking someone out, but then hedging with “as a joke”, because you wouldn’t want to be seen taking a risk and failing. But by not sticking to your guns you’ve also weakened your initial pitch. In this case they made the joke that Death is excited and shy, that’s the bold premise, and the new panel instead says “but whatever though he’s still cool and unmoved and the same thing would have happened whether the guy had the tattoo or not, and the joke is actually that you’d think it would even matter nevermind”

Well, that’s my unsolicited critique! Sorry I just happened to read your comment while I had time and was feeling “typey” 😛

Yeah… that’s why it’s allowed to expire now. We don’t allow people to use useful or relevant things! 😛

Gen Alpha’s parents are… let me check my notes… Millenials. Aw Fuck.

I think the most accurate definition is “produced without a publisher”. That’s the thing they’re independent of.

Where it gets grey is things like “okay it has a publisher, but they’re tiny and cute and only publish indie-feeling game”

So the “feeling” of indie is “made by a small group of people with a shared cohesive vision and minimal outside influence”, where publishers tend to be large sources of outside influence, and teams larger than, like, 50 people tend to be unable to all have a truly shared cohesive vision. And a single person, by definition, always has a shared vision no matter what they make. But if a publisher is low-touch, or brings a game that’s basically done to market without asking for changes, and the game feels cohesive and personal, then that’s good enough.

Cancel subscription, the headline:

Millenials are killing subscription-based businesses!

Having the bios able to see the disk, but a live boot can’t, makes no real sense to me. If a partition was messed up I’d get that, but to not even see there is a disk to partition, doesn’t feel right. I know it’s probably a dumb question, but you didn’t happen to be messing around in BIOS settings or something right? Is it possible you changed some settings a while ago but haven’t rebooted in a while, and this issue was waiting for you this whole time?

If you don’t have any other slots on the mother board to try the disk in, you could buy an external adapter for whatever kind of disk you have, which would allow you to use this thing as a USB drive. That should at least allow the live boots to see it.

Also also, is it possible you have two disks, and grub is on one and your data is on the other? Again, kinda weird question, but it’s a kinda weird situation…
