This is why I stick with open source. Sadly, I don't know what to do about hardware. For a GPU, go with AMD I guess?

The worst is that this isn't even the lack of ownership I want! I'd love to not own a car and have reliable public transit, but can't have that. Instead, I'm not allowed to own the computers and software I buy, or the music I like, or pretty much anything else that brings me joy. Heck, you don't even own the posts you make in the large social media sites!

Loooolll! I love them raising a stink about forking I'm another language. Go for it! Nobody cares and I'm sure it'll reach feature parity by the time paru is updated. 🙄 And then mentioning Lunduke saying something negative about Rust. Isn't he some wacko conspiracy/Linux YouTuber? That all made for a good laugh.

Anyway, I really like Paru, but I've switched back to yay until they get a fix. Really not a big deal.

Doom Emacs on Arch with Plasma.

Another example that Steam doesn't maintain dominance via market abuse, but rather by being decent in a market where the competition is downright awful.

That's OK. I've already removed Netflix

Don't be biased except for these biases.

Lol, after both steal every image on the internet.

No wonder the images look similar.

Also wife bad

It doesn't really bother me, but like you I am bored of it and I generally ignore it, or block communities if I'm seeing too much of it.

It is really cool that the models can generate fairly detailed images, but they're all so similar and... boring. I once saw someone describe it like corporate art. It just tries to imitate something popular in a very mediocre way. You can keep re-training it, but it can still only imitate.

Still, if people are into it then that's ok too. I have used it at work on occasion to create stupid little icons for internal tools I've built, so I guess there's some little bit of utility.

My guess is that it'll be used for a while for cheap and low effort branding, but soon companies will want to hire real artists again to differentiate themselves from the ML spam.

Beatings will continue until morale improves

Came here to say exactly this.

I'd trust the piracy sites more actually. We don't voluntarily give them our credit card and address.

It's a total guess, but my theory is that people on the right are tolerant of enshittification and may even find it appealing, while the rest of us just leave. This seems to be the case with Twitter, so maybe Reddit is following?
