No, vegantheoryclub.org actually

I’m guessing we saw the same one, and that’s literally the only instance I’ve completely blocked.

The biggest use of AI in my editing flow is masking. I can spend half an hour selecting all the edges of a person as well as I can, or I can click the button to select people. Either way I do the rest of my edits as normal.

Unironically, I do in fact do this all the time. I make large batches when I bake, so it’s easier to just tare and measure everything directly in the stand mixer bowl instead of scooping 16 cups. It’s also less clean up afterwards!

This is actually a major reason I’m glad to work in software. The culture in the industry usually tends not to care about specific working hours as much, as long as you’re around consistently and do good work.

It’s hard to decide any causation for me personally, but my fitness tends to at least correlate positively with my mental health.

A lot of people here have the right idea, but are just more pessimistic than me about the industrial capabilities of our civilization if we survive long enough to achieve them. Star lifting is an idea with what I understand to be reasonably sound scientific principles. It’s just a matter of scaling our industry over the next millions or billions of years.

I like this channel because he’s a fairly optimistic but very reality based futurist. He’ll tell you straight up if something is unlikely or impossible based on our current understanding of science, but he’s one of the few sources I’ve seen that acknowledges the immense scale that even an Earth or solar system bound civilization is capable of supporting with just modern technology.

Backblaze personal is $9 a month or $99 a year for unlimited backup. The first result on Amazon for a 4tb HDD is $85. Building a NAS costs the same as 2.5 years of this cloud backup for the drives alone, and doesn’t actually give you a backup at all. The costs scale even more poorly if you need to store more than your 8tb.

Oh yeah. I wasn’t sure how to get across that I wasn’t talking about that as a Texas exclusive thing. It’s everywhere in the US.

Edit: Texas is the only place I’ve seen someone go on an angry christofascist tirade in my suburban grocery store though.

I’ve seen Texans in the wild go on tirades when the attendant at the store checkout says “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”…

The vast majority are definitely good people, but just want to point out that the people you see in the media are real. They are here, and they are loud.

It’s also easy to forget that living in the cities doesn’t represent the people everywhere in the state either. As long as I’m in a city, anywhere in the US, I’ve never seen extremely blatant racism. But go to the wrong areas in small towns and you get jeered at for not being white.

3/5. Work is a bit of a drag these last couple weeks, and I messed up a bit in my hobbies and made myself a bunch more work to correct that.

It’s almost all on a couple instances. I don’t remember if lemmy supports instance blocking yet, but several apps do, so it’s a lot easier to block that way.

Honestly nothing has changed since the OG tpb days, you can even still use tpb. BitTorrent should be replaced with qBitTorrent or something I think, I haven’t exactly changed my client in years. You have more choices of VPNs now if you care about that I guess. Some of the other old good trackers are defunct, but I think Reddit still has an actively maintained wiki of good public trackers…

Good place to find what’s a good deal. I think my search string there is specifically 20+tb drives.

So, I can’t easily find the name of the ship in Chinese, but it could possibly be a translation error during naming? New New is xīng xīng in pingying (romanized phonetic Chinese), which is also the same spelling as star… If whoever did the translation was bad at it and did it solely off of the phonetics or romanized spelling.

I’m now sitting on a TV

Tbf, that’s kinda what people thought about leaded gasoline, or greenhouse gas emissions.

In this case, yes, everyone seems perfectly fine, but dilution isn’t the solution to everything when the body you’re diluting into is finite.
