Hey, just a heads up that admitting you are a minor online isn't a good idea for lots of reasons, and that a number of lemmy instances will ban you for it (as they're officially 16 or 18+ by instance rules) rather than accepting having to deal with all the various complicated laws about handling the data of underage users.
Absolutely, as a slight counter to my ADHD and laziness. I find it harder to say "let me sleep fifteen more minutes" when the timer or alarm isn't a round number.
The issue with using torrents is longevity. You'd still want/need traditional storage backing it all. Don't want some mod to become lost media because nobody is actively seeding it.
Maybe a cop would consider it jaywalking, and it's definitely a dick move, but I wasn't taught that there were really exceptions.
They aren't supposed to walk out and if they're already in the road they're supposed to get out asap, but that doesn't make it ok to try and drive by like they aren't in the road with some sort of confidence that it's somehow their job to get out of your way.
At the end of the day they're a sack of cloth, skin, meat, blood, and bones. You're sitting in a carefully engineered multi-ton slab of plastic and metal more similar to an early tank than it is to a horse and buggy, and those already could trample people to death.
If you mean the type of schoolyard insults Trump lobs out, I dislike that but that's just optics. Mud-slinging is whatever.
When we're talking going low in regards to truly matching the lowest of what Trump's base is doing, they're literally abducting citizens. Making deals with clear persistent enemies of the state as if they're allies. Two politicians were just fucking assassinated.
I'm not personally prepared to accept full open warfare yet. Gun violence in the streets. Too much collateral.
If that's truly necessary already, then we're so far beyond discussions of what the Democrats should or shouldn't do that this entire thread (including the OP picture) is just wasting time.
If things are that bad, people would need to get off their asses and start throwing literal blood and lives to the cause of overthrowing Trump. I'm still not convinced we're there yet. If you disagree, either lead by example and get out there with your rifle, or say more to convince those of us not up to speed instead of attacking potential allies.
Start organizing a militia and get the fuck out of threads like this one that would give the intelligence agencies reasons to watch you and kill momentum before it starts, or work outreach and do more to convince people into the cause. To do anything else is irresponsible and self defeating.
The Democrats are many many years overdue for a spine. But I still (perhaps naievely) want to believe that it's possible to win without going low.
Maybe I'm just crazy and need my tinfoil hat adjusted, but a race to the bottom still fucks us all over.
Holding people accountable for their actions isn't "going low". Holding people accountable for the knock on effects of their actions isn't "going low". Holding people accountable for their own previous statements isn't "going low". Callong out blatant lies and misdirection isn't "going low". Actually enforcing laws equally against people privileged financially and/or politically isn't "going low". Calling out blatant corruption isn't "going low".
We don't need the Democrats to start pushing candidates that are only following their own interests while wheeling out whatever their base wants to hear. We don't need Democrats cutting backroom deals with businesses that screw over their constituents. We don't need more toxic waste and diarrehia, just with blue food coloring.
I refuse to believe people actually want "Trump but saying leftist shit to appease people".
The increased "detail" is entirely made up, based off whatever the AI model considers likely to be there based off similar images. AI isn't somehow magically finding pixels that don't exist, it's effectively just guessing them.
I swear, were none of you people around for the LSD dogslugs of early image generation/style matching? Or the slightly newer "this person is not real" portrait generators that would merge hair and glasses, and often give multiple sets of eyes when glasses were at odd angles? This is effectively that with considerably more training data thrown at it.
It's all made up. The AI isn't taking another picture of the object with a higher resolution camera. It's spreading out the existing pixels and doing a best guess to fill in the blanks. Maybe that's fine for a family portait or something (I don't agree, but you do you), but that's definitively not OK for any sort of actual reference material.
Thanks! That's damn good for "best effort"! A convincing lead on what company it may be.
Personally, I still don't think it's time for immediate red alert, but I'll have to keep an eye on things. Hopefully we'll see some competitors like GameBanana step up to the challenge.
If you have space for like a bedside table, or a coffee table, or even a table table, you have space for a small chest freezer. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the kitchen.
Looks like the average small ones are only about 3.5 cubic feet. I've rarely seen 1.2 cubic feet ones as well.
That said, if all you have is one of those small kitchenettes with barely enough space for a microwave, you're kind of kneecapped in terms of food prep in other ways as well.
Wait, was it confirmed sold? The news post on Nexus fron this morning indicated that the existing head admin and CEO (of 24 years) was just stepping back (and not even away entirely), and had already put the year+ in of identifying two successors from his existing team.
I didn't see anything regarding a sale, and the existing admin said quite a bit about taking this seriously from a standpoint of what's best for mod makers and users and not best for business profits.
Edit: I'm not seeing any company name given because as far as I can tell, it wasn't sold. It's the same company, same employees, the person at the tip top is just shifting.
And since when is "comicbook dot com" a source for game modding news? Unless someone can show me something from a more direct or reputable source, I think this is just someone running with the most click bait interpretation of the nexusmods post.
Edit x2: Dormedas's resetera link has some convincing investigation that the two people named as taking over the reigns may work for a company that provides esports training, and also consulting services for user generated content focused companies.
