Water and an X-Box controller. What could possibly go wrong?

There’s no end in sight.

You just know that John Oliver is sitting at home right now laughing his ass off at the memes, and then screaming into a pillow because he can’t talk about it anywhere due to the writer’s strike.

Sorting by new is working well for me. There may come a day when Lemmy communities have so much content that it’s too much for me to browse, but we’re not there yet. I’m sure when that day comes, though, Hot and Active will be better methods.

Obviously I can’t be sure without knowing exactly which restaurant it is, but it is probably a message in response to how the delivery apps were capturing customer tips and delivery fees for themselves and sharing nothing with the restaurant. There was a period of time where restaurants were getting added to delivery apps without the restaurant’s consent. They’re probably trying to make you feel like you’re supporting them by paying the tips and fees directly to them.

Over at Lemmy.ninja we maintain a community for finding communities called Community Search Tips. We started this because it was surprisingly hard to figure out what to subscribe to when you’re brand new. Probably the best resource for finding communities is the feddit.de Community browser. I like it because the results are sorted by post count, which is helpful for finding active communities.

Here’s my subscribed list as of right now. (Keep in mind my cake day is June 13.)

Actually, “autotune of art” is about the best description of AI Art I’ve heard in a long time.

I discovered it after installing a lot of my LXC containers, too. What I did was test the script and see if it made a better container than I did. If so, I just deleted the other LXC container. I also used it as a way to quickly change the LXC and VM IDs so that they would match the last octet of my internal IP address.

And don’t forget that you can run the Proxmox settings and cleanup scripts at any time.

Well, you can just feed AI a prompt and take the image that comes out, but that’s not how people do things anymore. AI art generation is now a complex set of image generation, in-/outpainting, tweaking, etc. I spent a couple of hours last night updating myself on how it is done, and I was shocked at all the changes that have taken place in the last six months. Now people are even passing their art through AI model subsets that they have trained themselves in order to get specific results, like specific backgrounds, vehicles, buildings… it’s incredible.

Same here. For me it was the realization that what I thought was appropriate tipping – 15% – was actually an insult to servers. Thanks to the internet, I saw how servers retaliate against what they think is a bad tipper. I realized that proper tipping is subjective, and there was no way to be sure I wouldn’t be punished for something I did wrong unknowingly. So rather than risk it, I just decided to learn how to live without eating out.

I hate AI art and think it’s just soulless, derivative pixels

I look at it like the modern equivalent of newspaper political cartoons, or maybe as an evolution to the photoshopped placards on Late Night comedy news monologues.

So this is a good idea in principle, but there are a lot of sites that don’t follow the “lemmy.tld” format. I checked the list of instances connected to our site, lemmy.ninja. We’ve been up for a few days, so we’ve accumulated a lot of instances by now. Following the Lemmy.* format gave me 285 out of 585 of our current instances. So just under 50%.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them!

Hey, that’s six words!

Got it!

The problem isn’t that there are a lot of communities serving the same interest. The problem is that it’s hard to see all the communities so that you can pick one or more to join. Reddit had its default front page – and later r/popular – which aided in subreddit discovery. You can’t get this across all Lemmy instances yet. The best you can do is view all the Lemmy communities in a big instance. This works somewhat well, because Lemmy lets you see how many users of an instance have subscribed to a remote community as well as a local one.

At Lemmy.ninja we have a community dedicated to community discovery to help assist in this process. Our thinking is that once you know a community exists and can see how active it is, you can join it (along with the other related communities) and test it out until you get a nice comfortable community list to function in.

I used OpenWRT for ages on all kinds of different hardware. The next logical step up for me was into the Ubiquiti product line. That gave me a lot of the power and configurability of the OpenWRT world in something that was a lot easier to use. (Plus, their access points are quite nice.) I chose the Dream Machine Pro. It was rack-mountable, so I bought a cheap rack and put it on a shelf. I also decided to buy Ubiquiti access points and switches to take advantage of all the network management features of their OS. I have one place where I monitor, update, and configure everything, and it’s about twenty times easier than keeping things updated in OpenWRT.

The last-minute scramble to find a veteran trial lawyer was a familiar process for Trump, who has had difficulty hiring and keeping lawyers to defend him in the numerous federal and state criminal cases that have dogged him through his presidency and after he left the White House.

A man who is known for not paying the people who work for him, throwing his supporters under the bus at any opportunity, and brazenly breaking the law? What lawyer would even want him in the same room with him?
