Ah true, when I think of a 95 ford I think of this

I’d recommend a 1995 Toyota, Nissan or Mitsubishi rather than a Ford 😅

this is the Easter Island flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Island#/media/File:Flag_of_Rapa_Nui,_Chile.svg

It’s been a long time since I last used it so I don’t remember specifics, but I found really basic stuff that would take a couple of seconds to do in photoshop were a lot more difficult in gimp. Krita is better…

why do you think it’s anything like being knighted?

I guess it has one similarity in that it’s a symbolic ritual, but I think that’s where the similarities end. Being knighted is a lot more impressive, and commands some respect, since it has a selection process that involves either being recommended by the public or a government committee…

There’s no minimum requirement to become Catholic… Have you heard of missionaries… People that travel far and wide to try to spread their faith because they want to baptise literally everyone in the world…

yeah but imagine how many indie games could’ve been funded with the B-2 bomber budget(~42B)…

that must mean outlook is for entertainment purposes only too, since it includes copilot now…

Yeah it’s a new way of working and seems like it would be a good thing if society were differently constituted

That’s what concept art is for.

Placeholder assets are generally better if they look out of place because then you don’t forget to replace them 😅

AI art generation is trained to be just good enough to fly under the rader if not looked at too closely…

Windows 10 was ok-ish until they announced

Windows 11 and ramped up it’s enshitification… They improved the tiles idea a lot over windows 8

Windows phone 7 was great too…

I use Linux now though too, I’ve found flatpak isn’t a silver bullet though: depending on what distro you’re using and what distro whoever made the flatpak was using sometimes strange issues happen such as not loading in dark mode or losing settings on close/shutdown…

Please drink verification can

Side note: I thought that meme was from idiocracy, but apparently it’s actually from a 4chan greentext and I had made a false memory of it being in the movie 😅

Maybe could say it’s a Pastafarian ritual for the same legal protection as confession in Christian religions?

Moderation kinda depends on identity, as the trolls who want every room to be toxic will enter every room and make sure it’s toxic if there’s no rudimentary identification.

The copyright concerns can be mitigated somewhat by prompting to follow existing patterns in the codebase(and double checking that it has done that when reviewing the generated code)

it enriches the pocketbooks of the techno-fascists that run those datacenters.

Depends, in a lot of cases it costs them more money to service the query than they charge 😅.

Although it’s all borrowed money so it doesn’t matter to them…

Still causing all that havoc on the environment and poisoning with potentially proprietary stolen code though…

They’re gonna be running those data centers regardless though, as most of the compute time is spent on training new models…

It can be good at generating boilerplate code or copying an existing solution, so maybe it might be useful for less critical parts such as adding a GUI for some feature that was previously limited to the command line…

You could have that, would just have to be experience writing code for AI, rather than vice versa…

I’d recommend using lasers for that 🤣

If I want to see the comment section I use official app, and just pause the ad.
