I admit I didn’t know that Mistral or Photoshop claim to use no copyrighted material, but I am loathe to support Adobe as you seem to correctly imply.

On the topic of power usage, we can assume 1Gw. But 300 million people using the same model as was trained via that inital 1Gw input seems like a stretch for as much as OpenAI / releases models / tweaks. And the root of my problem with the power draw is that it’s not coming from clean or renewal sources so it’s not just the 1Gw of usage, but all the pollution that comes with it. Not to mention the datacenters using water for evap cooling and taking water from towns.

I think your best bet is either AO3 or tumblr.

The problem I see with that is even though it’s local (which is a huge step towards FOSS ownership instead of private hidden control), it still takes tons of energy to train the model itself. Not to mention the IP theft which is a whole 'nother issue.

Ideally, I was thinking nuclear or renewables. But the way things are now, I don’t want it all. Just wishful thinking on my part.

This is awesome. I was just thinking of how to spin up a VM or something with like, KDE 1.0, or blackbox with Compiz Fusion.

Good. hopefully it will keep AI out of here. The only way I would be cool with AI is if it took 1000% less resources, and wasn’t powered by companies building datacenters that produce power in teh most polluting way.

The only issue i have with this is the distance in the bottom left. Tell me you don’t live in a suburb or rural community without telling me.

Probably either Shakira or Brittney Spears.

Skyrim belongs to the Aldi Nords!

Euro beat. GAS GAS GAS, I GOTTA STEP ON THE GAS TONIGHT

I really liked Floorp, but it kept breaking on work sites, so I had to switch back to FF. Super glad they are bringing this back.

You’re welcome. It’s not a bug, but just the library they use to upload files doesn’t do chucking. There is a git hub request for it, but it’s not done yet.

My only warning for a new user to Immich is that it does not support chunk uploading. So if you’re like me and took a 1 hour 40GB 4k video, it will never upload. It will start, fail, and start over again forever.

My first linux distribution was Linux From Scratch (LFS). I printed like 300 pages at the school library so I could run it at home. My first real distribution was Gentoo or Damn Small Linux.

How many assholes do we have on this ship administration?

Agreed. While not the ideal pope, he was much better than Benedict the 16th.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am slowly setting aside money to try to travel there someday and planning at least helps it feel closer.

I’ve got some German heritage, and I’ve always wanted to see the Black Forest. Plus there’s the Brandenburg gate and castle Neuschwanstein.
