People dismiss AI art because they (correctly) see that it requires zero skill to make compared to actual art, and it has all the novelty of a block of Velveeta.
If AI is no more a tool than Photoshop, go and make something in GIMP, or photoshop, or any of the dozens of drawing/art programs, from scratch. I'll wait.
LMFAO "uhm ackshually guys AI art takes skill just like human art"
yeah bud, spending 30 minutes typing sentences into the artist crushing machine is grueling work
IIRC Yiffit defederated with Hexbear, and... honestly, good riddance? The interactions I had with hexbear users were almost universally some of the most unpleasant I've ever had on Lemmy
I haven't accidentally deleted a bunch of data yet (which, considering 99% of my interaction with Linux is when I'm SSH'd into a user's server, I am very paranoid about not doing), but I have run fsck on a volume without mounting the read/write flashcache with dirty blocks on it first.
Oops.
He says himself that he was there to protect businesses, but he had no relation to the business beyond that of a standard employee, and his help was never requested--he didn't know the owners, his family didn't own the business, and he wasn't even a frequent customer IIRC.
The most charitable interpretation is that an untrained, underage civilian took a semiautomatic rifle across state lines, to a protest happening in a town he didn't live in, to guard a business that he had no special relation to, and that never asked for his help.
The more probable interpretation, given posts on his social media before the shooting (that weren't allowed to be shown in court), is that he wanted to play action hero and shoot some scumbags, and he got exactly what he hoped.
EDIT: Apparently he worked at the business he was guarding, but the point still stands--he never got permission to defend the business, nor was it ever offered.
And look at the ttrpg.network community for a counterexample, they still have a pinned post on the dndmemes subreddit advertising Lemmy and ttrpgmemes gets like .1% of the traffic dndmemes does. And this is still after a months-long rebellion complete with allowing NSFW and restricting submissions to a single user account, both things that would normally kill a subreddit dead.
At this rate we're going to start getting memes about Lemmy reading comprehension lmao
Lmao, from an NPR article on the same topic:
They filed an affidavit from an insurance broker saying it is "not possible" to find a bond that big. The broker was an expert witness for Trump during the trial.
The trial judge already noted in his decision that this broker was a "close personal friend" of Trump's and had a financial interest in the outcome. A decision could come from the appeals court later this week.
I'm sure the judge will give the broker's opinion all the deference it's due. /s
My dude, they're trying to combat the peer pressure effect of someone's buddies razzing them over drinking a "frou-frou sissy drink" instead of grabbing a cold beer. I know it's Lemmy, but come the fuck on.
This bird definitely listens exclusively to metal bands from Nordic regions featuring an opera singer dressed like an ice queen backed by instruments that sound like they just got dragged through a tar pit
