- Comment on Reddit Undeleted all my posts and comments 2 months ago:
Every time this gets brought up, I go back to a thread where my most popular comment was (since I no longer have an account to check back on and it’s the only one I know for sure I can find). To this day, it luckily still remains deleted. If it does get restored, I wonder if it becomes the original comment or the generic [deleted in protest of the Reddit API change] or whatever I set them to be edited to before deletion.

Thanks for confirming! I haven’t used the actual YT app in such a long time, so I haven’t been able to confirm whether my DNS solution works.

NewPipe app is a good one, or Tubular if you want sponsor block too (though you can’t comment or like videos etc. on either). But if you want to use the actual YT app, the solutions in the other comments are good. I assume that setting up a Pihole or some other ad-blocking DNS could also work.

While it still works, you can use old.reddit.com to get around those walls.

“Hands look fine so probably not AI, nothing weird in the reflection behind her… Why is there a picture of Hitler on the wall?”
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
I started drawing seriously when I was 14. Looking at my old artwork, I didn’t start improving fast until I was around 19 or 20. Not to say I didn’t improve at all during those five to six years but the pace did get faster once I had “learned to learn” so to say. That is to say it can take a lot of patience to get to a point where you actually start seeing improvement fast enough to stay motivated. But it is 100% worth it because at the end you have a lot of things you have created with your own two hands.
And regarding the point on physical limitations, I can’t blame anyone in a situation like that for using AI if they have no other chance for realising their imaginations. For others, it is completely possible and not reserved for people who have some mythical innate talent. Just grab a pen or a brush and enjoy the process of honing a fine skill regardless of the end result. ❤️

This whole AI craze has just shown me that people are losing faith in their own abilities and their ability to learn things. I’ve heard so many who use AI to generate “artwork” argue that they tried to do art “for years” without improving, and hence have come to conclusion that creativity is a talent that only some have, instead of a skill you can learn and hone. Just because they didn’t see results as fast as they’d have liked.
- Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers. 10 months ago:
Finland here. Tipping is in no way expected and it’s actually rather atypical to tip at all. Though no one will say no if you do decide to tip!

- Comment on Finding a rogue screw on your desk and not knowing what it fell out of 1 year ago:
Well, I’ve thrown some of those screws out and THEN discovered where they fell out of. And I bet if I hadn’t thrown them out then I would have never discovered their origin.

There’s a tool that can almost directly convert your scenes and resources to Godot.

- Comment on Am I allowed to use a VPN with Steam? 1 year ago:
No problems here and I’ve used a VPN with Steam for years! Just make sure the location of your account is set to your country so you pay the correct price for your area. c:
If you already have an account, that should already be all good.
- Comment on PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm? 1 year ago:
Dang. Would have recommended One Finger Death Punch as it can be played with only one finger but the whole game is essentially QTEs. xD

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, and experiencing extreme levels of nostalgia. My goal is to play through every HD Remix and reexperience the joys of my childhood before finally seeing what Kingdom Hearts 3 is about.
