well, better streaming was one of the things that I was knowingly and intentionally paying for nitro for.

that’s fair

lots of customization options for both the interface and your profile, but more important to most people is being able to use emojis/stickers from your subscribed servers everywhere on the platform. This might seem petty, but there’s no other software that I regularly use that requires me to pay in order to for example, change the theme of the interface.

edit: that does not include the stuff that I knew I was paying for and was on purpose paying for, like better stream quality and larger upload size and extra shit for my server.

when my nitro expired, I was astonished how much basic functionality was locked behind that paywall. The vanilla experience is so unpleasant.

Meanwhile on stoat, there is no subscription and most of discord’s paid features are just… features. Sure, stoat is janky as balls, but so was discord when it was new.

stoat has a lot of new platform jank, but remember discord was just as bad when it was new but we loved it anyway because it was better than everything else at the time. Personally I’m willing to sacrifice some convenience for the sake of privacy and security.

A few days ago I tried to find the best frame of the video to turn into a meme. This is what I came up with.

there was that one storyline in which he banged aunt may.

Historically, Jjj has been an upstanding guy. Sure he’s got a bone to pick with spiderman, but he could have sold out his photographer but he didn’t. He’s misguided in a lot of ways, but he’s got a strong moral compass that we all should strive for.

If you made all the training data yourself, or ethically acquired the training data, then go nuts do whatever you want with it. See Corridor Digital’s ai chroma key thingy.

If the training data isn’t ethically sourced, then it gets iffy.

I use ai primarily for my own entertainment. None of it are things I’d want to share with the world. Is “dicking around” justifiable? Eh. I eat meat and shop at amazon, both of which are things that some people would find “not justifiable”, so someone is going to be upset with me no matter what.

In the case of artistically, I don’t take offense to ai tools being part of a process, what’s important to me is that the ai isn’t the entire process. You wouldn’t go to a cinema, record the movie with your phone camera, then post it online saying “look at what I made”. That’s nonsense. But if you took clips of that same movie, rearranged and dubbed over them thus creating a new unique work, you could post that online and say “look what I made”. Whatever the ai output, no matter how detailed your prompt, should be treated as being made by someone else. You don’t get to say “look what I made” unless you actually do something with it.

Another use case is summarizing conversations and compiling notes. This is another one that I do often. I could go on for hours about a subject (usually while drunk) and at the end I tell it “compile a detailed report on everything discussed, be verbose and leave out no details” or something similar, and that output goes into my notes documents. It’s fine to copy pasta that, because it’s not going to be anything that anyone ever actually sees.

I don’t know if they’re still any good, but my go to suite back when I used to do this kind of thing regularly included C Cleaner, Revo Uninstaller, Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, and a couple others that I’ve forgotten the names of. Each tool had a specific function or two that I needed for fixing various issues.

Of course, a wipe and reinstall is the more effective option, and since windows itself is bloatware these days I’d recommend some flavor of linux. Personally, I’m having a good time with Mint.

I’ve changed my mind. Pennywise working at mcd’s because ronald is the vastly more successful killer clown is hilarious

I’d like to let people know that Sceptre still makes dumb tvs and they’re pretty good.

there’s legitimate complaints against valve, but I don’t think this is one of them.

blaming your own problems on women

I blame my problems on nazis and billionaires and white supremacists, but I described the same group thrice.

how do I stop doing something that I’ve never done?

At worst, I’m guilty of exaggeration. I’ve described my experience. You’ve described yours. We’re done here.

So how do I move into the universe you live in? Sounds better than the reality I’m in.

I block those posts when I see them, so no I don’t have links

sounds like today is a good day. To be fair, I only pay them a visit when they hit the all feed so my observation may be heavily skewed.
