Yeah, it’s not that it’s hard to learn, but it’s simply a completely different concept. The tutorial videos were a great help!

I really like Niagara tho, it’s real smooth to use and can look great. But it’s something you have to adapt to, it’s a completely different workflow.
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 14 hours ago:
I play literally anything, but with an increased rate of Single Player FPS, Twin-Stick Roguelite, Bullet Heavens,ARPGS and Roguelikes. Currently my main fixation is The King is Watching, I haven’t the issue that i only play specific games, but i can’t finish any of them -.- It’s like i have a fear of coming into a situation where i fail, damn anxiety.

Depends on the type of snail, there are male, female, hermaphroditic and parthenogenetic types. Since they wrote “his reproductive organs”, Jeremy is probably a hermaphroditic snail.

Not even a real hard drive, but an eMMC with a horrendous I/O speed, plus that low performance CPU paired with 4 GB Ram and the windows 11.. I’m sure that thing needs 30 minutes get to the desktop - if you keep your autostart cleanl

Like i said in another answer, maybe that loss of confidence in the authenticity of what we see online has a positive effect in the future where people start rejecting what they see on the web as the truth and start believing in what authoritative people say again; i hope they start listening to their doctors, teachers and scientists again instead of grifters and con-men. In that case anonymous social media will find itself dead in the water, with media using verified and authenticated profiles winning out.
It might cause the combined stupidity - that made things like qanon possible - to fall apart into the small splinter cells of town idiots they were before.

That’s an age-old problem, just scaled up. There has always been misinformation in social media (and before that in every bar). In the US it’s especially bad, mostly because the GOP profits directly from misinfo and has done as much damage as possible to the education system to ensure it stays that way. That’s also the reason there wont be any legislation regarding labeling of AI content (which is preferrable, but not enforceable even today) coming from your continent in the next few decades, sorry :-(
That might still be a “good” thing. More people than before become aware that what they see in social media is not reality, but entertainment that might or might not be real. It could lead to a general rejection of the notion that SM shows the truth.
But all in all it is still of no importance if it’s imagery to give cozy feelings because of cute animals like in the meme. An entertaining story does not have to be true to be entertaining, and in the same vein a cute pet image doesn’t have to depict a real pet to be cute.

If someone tells me a entertaining story that connects with me emotionally, it’s not so much important if the story is true per se, it’s important that it’s told well. The storyteller might have invented the whole thing or based it on something similar and modified/exaggerated it, but that doesn’t take away from the story. If i tell myself a story it wouldn’t be satisfying either (if i’m not worldbuilding or an author, where the satisfaction has other sources).
It’s an interesting thought and would explain why people react so intensely. I for my part was very quickly picking up on the fakeness of facebook - when i was riled up during the arabian spring in Libya, i realized that i get easily emotionally manipulated by the served content, which made me quit.
Nowadays i know much better how to verify information that’s important to me; a dogs picture licking a cat which makes her purr will always emotionally positive for me, because a) it doesn’t matter outside of my satisfaction, just like the well told story, and b) i can’t check it for authenticity either way, so i do not care about authenticity.

I’d say its less removed - the person reenacting is acting on his own interpretation of what happened, while the generated images are the distilled versions of real people winning the lottery.
Also, like I said, life is much easier accepting that not everything that i can emotionally connect to has to be authentic. I can very much connect to the notion that there are happy pets out there even if i see a drawing of a happy pet.
- Comment on Cant Decide 🤖 2 weeks ago:
The information that there are happy dogs out there doing happy dog things isn’t wrong tho, regardless of how many images of happy dogs are real or fake.
- Comment on Cant Decide 🤖 2 weeks ago:
It’s pretty simple: if it’s not important, who tf cares if it’s AI or not. If it’s important, there normally is a way to verify if the portrayed information is authentic because it will be important for others too (the info is the important part, not even if the medium where you got the info from is real or not). Life is easier this way, and important info should have been verified before AI too.

I’m living in Vienna, having grown up in this city. I can assure you that while the city has grown, it actually put a lot of effort into primarily increasing population density instead of growing into the countryside (well, they have expanded too, but not by much in comparison to the population growth). The extra heat does not come from more concrete here - Vienna is one of the greenest large cities in Europe, and with lots of forest surrounding the west and the river going through it is a pretty privileged situation overall. Also, this year for example i can count the amount of days below 0°C on one hand - i haven’t seen ice in any meaningful amount. All together i’d say our temperature window has shifted by around 10°C upwards since the late 80.

i’m mid 40s in central europe and can clearly remember that summers were around 32°C max in my childhood, last 2 years we had 40°C. I can remember winter being a lot colder, regulary freezing the Danube river for extended periods, allowing skating - these times it’s a bad idea stepping on the thin ice that never freezes over completely. And i can clearly remember huge amounts of insects, making a mess of the windshield when driving - nowadays the windshield nearly stays clean. The boomers are lying to themselves, because the truth is too hard to acknowledge.

Human external skin temp is around 32°C on the hands, so i’d say 34,6°C for the cats butthole sounds about right

A bit of selfresponsibility would help both sides tho - if you browse /all, you get /all, so instead of downvoting stuff you are not subscribed to and where you might be missing the context of the community, it would be best for you and the others to just filter the community instead of downvoting every single time.

Well Heroic Launcher works fine for my GOG Library, so that’s not so much of an issue for me. What i miss much more is Playnite, which integrated pretty much everything from steam to GOG, Epic, Amazon and Emulators for pretty much everything.

I think Gog is more popular then ever, because people start recognizing that buying from GOG is like buying organic produce and has it’s worth - they are in a pretty good market position with this image, and i fully believe them when they write that “[they] have seen more enthusiasm from gamers towards [their] mission than ever before”.

- Comment on Does playing audio at a high volume bluetooth wirelessly use more phone battery power than lower volume or are equidraining? 5 weeks ago:
Yup, in this case the phone sends out an analog signal, and must increase the amplitude of the signal to increase the volume, which needs more energy.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 5 weeks ago:
And the overwhelming majority of athletes do not earn well. It’s only the top 1% that gets rich, and only those in sports with a lot of public appeal.

I was gonna say that! The pirated version has no Launchers, no Eulas and no accounts at all. Add it as non-steam game, if you want the entry to look nice go to https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop and follow instructions.
