Even though the limitation on TPM is completely arbitrary, and anyone sufficiently savvy can bypass it in a few ways.

But most people are not that, so I guess the Linux crowd will embrace all those computers with open arms.

I consider it occasionally, then remember I’m paying a ton more to save like, 15 minutes. Then I just go get it.

I’m not talking strictly about ideas, I’m talking about a human having a vision, and taking action to make that vision into something. Whether something is copyrightable requires a “human element,” which is the reasoning behind why machine or animal generated content cannot be copyrighted, because they lack that.

So the question is if someone tweaking an image, even if they’re merely selecting things, then is that a sufficient human element to say that a person had enough hand in creating it?

When it comes to selection, we already have a valid form of copyright which is explicitly that- compositions. If I take a bunch of royalty-free songs, and make a book of sheet music where I hand selected songs to be in that book, I can own a copyright on the composition without owning any of the featured material.

So, if someone selects a bunch of individual elements in an image using img2img, is that now a composition?

I accidentally submitted early, but also, I wrote out the lyrics. It’s the most bland version of those breakup-depression kind of songs imaginable. I guess people voted it as “feel-good” out of irony.

Sitting at my favorite cafe

Sipping my tea it’s saturday

Thinking about all he’s done, to everyone

This town is full of broken dreams

Shattered hopes, and silent screams

Somebody please help me

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

I’ve lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

We’ve lost it all

Alone in the streets, alone in my thoughts

Thinking of all our favorite spots

I thought someday things might turn around

But I was lost and never found

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

I’ve lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

We’ve lost it all

Faces painted with smiles

Lies are told

A facade of unity

A vitality sold

So I sit here in silence

Just wondering how

To rewrite the tales

This town won’t allow

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

I’ve lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

We’ve lost it all

I’ve lost it all

We’ve lost it all

I have a feeling they knew how this would be received considering it seems like they’re rage-baiting and acting pretentious to try and get attention.

Some AI generated images can require a lot of tweaking to get a final result. For example, someone might have a workflow that involves generating several images, then picking one as a base. They then take that base, and use img2img to rework certain parts to suit a vision before applying a set of post-processing effects in a traditional editor.

Or, they generate an image and use it as a base for some sort of more traditional art, or use AI generated elements in a work that is otherwise drawn traditionally.

There’s a lot of grey where I think just dismissing any creative vision is doing disrespect to the person that wanted to make something out of that vision, and put in a good amount of work outside just proompting and taking the first image that looked okay.

AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.

AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it’s become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.

Yes, I’m not sure if it’ll be ready by this year’s tax season or not, but it was happening. Last I heard they were doing some limited runs on it.

For those in the US: Learn how to file your own taxes. It’s really simple for the large majority of people, and usually just consists of copying numbers into boxes off a sheet your employer made for you. After you’ve done it once, subsequent times you’ll probably have it done yourself in less than half an hour.

You can do it for free on a ton of sites unless you make significant income, freetaxusa is typically the most highly recommended one.

Man, I already had a hard time justifying my YouTube Premium subscription. I literally only have it for putting on stuff to sleep to on my TV without some ad telling me Mr. Beast wants to give me $10,000 if i click.

But the worse this gets, the more I feel like an asshole for giving them a dime.

Execute just adds 1, so if you want the dir world viewable, it's 755.

Weird, it usually works fine without JS.

I can second this. I have SearxNG running in a docker container by itself and it requires no real maintenance of any kind. I do have a cron job that updates the docker container once per day, but it ran for ages on the same version without issues.

I have a Gmail for less important spammy stuff, but my email for important stuff is with mxroute. Got a $25 Black Friday deal with them last year and have my domain set up with it.

My coworkers look at me like I'm a monster for just grabbing a fork and eating the chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs straight out of the can.

There are far too many ways for an immortality wish to make your life hell in ways that a money wish uh, wishes it could.

I'm a Loss Prevention Manager.

I just wanted to know how computers worked when I was fairly young. Like, I'd open a web browser and look at the homepage, and think "But how does the computer know how to draw all this stuff?" As in, how do you take an image of something from real life, and over the internet put that image on somebody's screen for them to see? Or how does it know what to do when I click this icon and run a program?

I found out about a popular programming language called C++, asked my parents to buy me a book on it while we were at the book store. Learned a lot, moved on to other languages for other things I wanted to do. It's still a fun hobby, but I never opted to make a career out of it.

I just have a different partition for /home. For snapshots, you could set a partition up as btrfs and use btrfs snapshots
