I don’t even see that. My brain must be broken.

I have it working on Debian, it wasn’t THAT hard, but I never got it to work with the GPU so it was SUPER slow. I’ve since found XTTS2 which set up super easy, comes with a web GUI and just supports my GPU out of the box.

TIL, Trump is just autocomplete.

I know many of the people here already know this, but how do we get this message to journalists?!

Journalists have this information, but articles about it probably generate 10% of the clicks, shares and eyeballs->ad revenue that either the hype or the scaremongering does.

In other words, healthy designer babies for the rich, status quo for everyone else.

Jokes on them. SD3 is garbage.

Shrek! What’s happening? I just wanted to make sure you know that we’re putting the new cover sheets on the TPS reports now? Did you get that memo?

`import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

if not cap.isOpened(): print(“Error: Could not open webcam.”)

for _ in range(3): print(“Bloody Daisy”)

cap.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()`

You might be on to something. I gave Stable Diffusion 1.5 this same prompt and now I’m scared to touch my computer.

When you’re in a Jaeger, you can fight the hurricane.

Because her papers are PDFs and “Adobe does PDFs.” I was not part of this decision making process.

You want OpenWRT. They’re not too limited, but they’re not very powerful either. Fan controller? Probably. Pihole? You can probably hack that together, though I’ve never tried. Media server? Erm… not my first choice. Other stuff? Limited only by your imagination, time constraints and willingness to troubleshoot weird problems most people have never had before.

Across the board, we have let people who are primarily motivated by accumulating wealth and power accumulate wealth and power unchecked, and then make all the rules for how everything around them works.

These are the last people you want making the rules if you desire sane and sustainable social environments.

The best thing we could collectively do for ourselves is strip and block these kinds of people from positions of authority on the sheer basis that they seek it so eagerly, tell them to their faces WHY, tell them they can’t have it back and that they can ONLY have it back when they stop wanting it so badly, no matter HOW HARD they cry about it and then treat them with the same kind of disdain they’ve treated people who don’t want to play by THEIR rules for centuries.

If we put Elon Musk in a box along with a detector calibrated to detect the emission of a radio active particle, with a device that will cause Elon Musk to do science if it detects the particle and make up bullshit if it doesn’t, does Elon Musk remain an arrogant asshole no matter what the particle does?

10/10. Would watch.

Believe it or not, I had a girl read me that fanfic in 2003. It didn’t turn me on, so she lost interest in me. True story.

Nothing pisses me off in life more than when some Bronze Age PoS fortifies a Phalanx on a goddamn mountain, pillages my mine, throws the nearby city into civil disorder and I attack it with 3 Mechanized Infantry units and it fricken’ kills all three of them.

Maxolx / Kzin / Kilrathi - Always gonna start shit with humans, always gonna have a tech edge, always gonna be arrogant and convinced of their own superiority, always gonna lose.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

They’ll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you

Chew you up for brunch

And finish you off for dinner or lunch

They’re marching down the halls

They’re crawling up the walls

They’re gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy

Rotten to the core

They’re standing outside your door

Remember Herbert Farbage

While taking out his garbage

He turned around and he did see

Tomatoes hiding in his tree

Now he’s just a memory

I know I’m going to miss her

A tomato ate my sister

Sacramento fell today

They’re marching into San Jose

Tomatoes are on their way

The mayor is on vacation

The governor’s fled the nation

The police have gone on strike today

The National Guard has run away

Tomatoes will have their day

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

They’ll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you

Chew you up for brunch

And finish you off for dinner or lunch munch munch

Dinner or lunch munch munch

Dinner or lunch

I encountered an engineering firm that did this. I wanted to do it too.

The company I worked for at the time (said engineering firm was doing subcontracting for us) was full of older business people who could never in a million years have wrapped their heads around the idea.
