Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I’m tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative...

lud,

Nah I think it can be cool and sometimes funny.

lud,

unpersonalized ads are much better for privacy and are less effective at selling stuff which is better for the user.

lud,

I have a feeling the vote thing will be abused.

I like duckdns for DDNS

It’s completely free.

lud,

That isn’t something the creator adds. It’s done by the community.

lud,

Nah, they are cool.

lud,

Agreed. They are also only activated when the radar has actually detected something.

lud,

Speed cameras do work though. Here they are often used in specific places where people are driving too fast, especially if near schools and other places where it’s extra dangerous.

For example close to where I live there is a steep hill with a road that goes straight down and after there is a completely straight road and then a really small bridge with a bump.

Some people like to speed down the hill and basically “jump” the bridge bump. Fortunately a speed camera was installed at the bridge and they warn about it well in advance.

While you could technically redesign the road, it would be very costly compared to a camera and that road is a very small road with low traffic and private farmland (or grazing land, I don’t remember) on both sides.

Here the cameras aren’t even activated all the time just enough to achieve their goal of reducing traffic.

lud,

It makes sense that they do that since the media and randoms on the internet think everything chatGPT and Bing chat say is as valid as info from OpenAI and MS official spokespersons.

lud,

Yeah, just took at his more recent thumbnails and titles. It feels like just ragebait. He is just angry at everything.

I stopped watching his videos when he started to put some effort into making clickbait thumbnails, because I felt the videos became much worse.

I also find those constant Linux comments annoying but one should really avoid using Windows 7. Win 7 has been out of support for a long time, either update to Win 10 (if possible), air gap it, install some other OS like Linux, or consider replacing the computer.

lud,

Yes

lud,

Agreed.

Before the change it was educational, now it’s just clickbait and hate

lud,

Taste?

lud,

Churches?

I guess I am used to churches being hundreds of years old.

lud,

What’s the fun in that though?

Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

Proton Mail, the leading privacy-focused email service, is making its first foray into blockchain technology with Key Transparency, which will allow users to verify email addresses. From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

lud,

Unfortunately pretty much no one uses openPGP.

lud,

It’s just a bad joke.

lud,

No, at least some apartments exist in pretty much every slightly large town.

They aren’t Skyscrapers or anything, often just 3-6 floors but apartments nonetheless.

I don’t get the point of IPTV anymore.

Sure you get it for free or cheap, but you couldn’t pay me to watch regular TV in a world with streaming (and Piracy).

I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org (jeena.net)

I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old....

lud,

Yes, I know. I was just referring to anyone from any federated instance reading it. I used the word Lemmy because it’s easier.

It’s basically the same thing in the end anyways. How the backend works is not really relevant.

lud,

It will stop a lot of attacks but if someone figures it out, you’re screwed. So I don’t recommend it.

But years ago I used the same password everywhere except with a few differences due to different requirements (like special characters) and the weakest passwords I used got leaked on pastebin (or similar). And sure enough many accounts got compromised, not a huge deal and I didn’t lose anything I cared about.

The interesting part is that no-one seemed to try the leaked password + 1234 or a capital letter in the beginning.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

lud,

The quality and experience is horrible though.

Torrenting always wins. But maybe you have poor internet and don’t want to wait for a download (although you can watch a movie while downloading it.)

A Plex server with automatic downloading is way more convenient.

lud,

Good for you buddy.

Let people enjoy whatever they damn please.

Btw, you don’t have to specify that you browse the internet. Everyone here does that and pretty much everyone with internet access in the world.
