Oh there’s still far too much adulation. All those Tesla bros, for example. Given what an insufferable turd Musk is, and the crumby reputation Teslas have, I don’t understand it. And I don’t think I ever will.

Nope, he can’t manage that. Because he’s an attention-whoring malignant narcissist.
I can’t wait for the bubble of mystique to pop on this arsehole, if only so we don’t have to ever hear from or about him again. Sadly, there are still plenty of rubes in his cult of personality and greedy investors willing to ride his coattails. So I’m not holding my breath.
I only discovered Krita recently, but holy shit does it fill the Photoshop void very well. The UI isn’t the same as PS, obviously. But I find it much easier to navigate than Gimp’s UI. And Krita is surprisingly feature-rich.
I have no idea why anyone still goes to McDogsbreath (I’ll likely hear some reasons in responses to this comment, but I’ve heard them before and don’t buy them). Back in the day I rarely had positive experiences when I was dragged out there reluctantly. Plasticy food of subpar quality, and very uncomfortable, plastic furniture.
And in recent years, between the prices quadrupling, the limited menu for people who don’t like burgers, the shite Wi-Fi, and now them not even being willing to lose 10c on a relatively small % of customers who get a soda refill… Why go there at all! There are so many better fast food options than that disaster of a chain.
That’s some low-key trolling there.
I like it.
Nah, they are just saying that to live is to short the market.
Sounds fun. Someone should have that baby Trump blimp join the party.
I don’t have a direct answer to your question. But I advise caution in putting your creative works online in the way you are planning. Between people plagiarizing it (either word for word or just the broader concepts) and AIs doing similar things, you could find that your work gets stolen.
Self-publishing might at least give you a bit of inherent copyright protection. Then at least you will have an ISBN associated to it, and you can always host your stories somewhere (WordPress, Medium, etc.).
If you want to self-publish your stories a free service like Smash Words would work.
Hah, I was going to say, that means asking for programming advice from Chat GPT will now result either in a response of “Why are you even trying to do that? You are stupid!” or dismissively pointing to another (mostly unrelated) chat session that has already been closed without a suitable answer.
I don’t think the vast majority of American Christians are anywhere near ready to accept a Christian denomination founded by and led by women. Which is a shame. I think such a denomination would have some interesting and probably beneficial perspectives to share.
But given how Christianity has been male-led from the very beginning, how it stemmed from another male-led religion, and how engrained into American Christian society it is for women to be docile, obedient child production machines… Yeah, that ain’t happening for a looong time!
Yeah I was lumping them into that same category. But you’re right, they probably do deserve their own category.
So they are labeling a brand new (and obviously flawed) AI as a priest, but women (who are human beings) still can’t be priests?
Sorry ladies, you’ve now fallen further down the ladder.
If Arctic Blitz isn’t one of them, there will be a backlash that makes Vatican II look like a mild disagreement.
Every couple of years for the last 20 years I would download the most popular Linux distro of the day, install it, and play around with it. And it’s mind-blowing to me how far Linux has come with UIs, usability, troubleshooting and customizing stuff.
Back in the day I spent many hours compiling obscure and dependent code bases just to get my sound card working. Now it’s pretty rare for me to need to do even a fraction of that.
Also, if you want to play around with Linux you can just download a VM solution like VirtualBox on Windows and then spin up as many virtual machines as you like and install a different iso on each one. Not to mention tinkering with Docker containers via the Docker app.
In short, it’s a great time to play with and possibly adopt Linux.
I’m going to hold my excitement in check until January of next year. Because if a certain former president gets reelected then any hopes of net neutrality will end for another 4 years.
“As a very rich person I was just unlucky to hit some health problems in this experiment. But all those yucky poor people? Nah, that’s morning to do with bad luck. That’s just bootstraps and laziness.” -Douchebag clueless millionaire experimenter
Despite falling short of his financial goal, Black said his journey showcased the power of determination and the importance of health and family
So he learned absolutely nothing about the plight of countless millions of people. Got it.
A toxic workplace, almost no customer support, and plenty of micro-transactions?
Yeah me too. It was annoying.
Holy corporate oppression, Batman! That’s a shitty deal no matter which option you choose.
I’m glad they’ve got themselves into a sticky situation.
Also, this observation was funny (in a sad way):
