Well no, in my example the shirt is the image and the signature on it is the NFT bit. Physically, it’s just a bit of ink, but the shirt itself is no different than one you can go pickup at the store.

Whenever I see these Musk posts, I always marvel at how people seem to think one man builds spaceships, programs self-driving cars, pushes all the buttons on Twitter, and does all the research himself on monkeys.

Try telling that to sports memorabilia collectors though.

“Look at my hockey jersey!” “Yeah, so? I have the same one.” “Yeah but you’re wasn’t signed by Wayne Gretsky.”

Or even trading cards, or comics. Or hell, even plain w-shirts with a brand logo on it for $250. People assign arbitrary values to stuff all the time. I don’t understand it at all, but there’s a whole ton of people that just eat that shit up like it’s candy.

I had never heard of it either. I had PIA when I was on Windows, still haven’t gotten it setup on Linux though.

The vegans of the software world.

PS, I run Arch.

I’m using qutebrowser as my daily driver, and which it doesn’t have extentions it does have a basic adblocker. The really useful thing I found though was a greasemonkey script that just sets the playing speed of youtube adds to “Ludicris Speed”, so the creators still get paid.

I have one as well. Did the firmware update a few months ago when it would periodically just start skipping or stop responding (I have my music collection on it). Haven’t had an issue since.

Why would they mention Google at all? Google can’t sue anyone for Copyright Infringement when someone downloads a video off their site, because Google doesn’t own the copyrights of the videos.

The article doesn’t mention that YouTube/Google were involved at all. It was the record labels that filed the suit.

… has been blocked due to copyright infringement claims by major music labels Sony, Warner, and Universal …

All they did was take down the website that links to the GitHub repository. They already tried to have GitHub pull it, and they did but then restored it and setup a legal defense fund for projects in similar situations which seems like a pretty big “fuck you”.

This story is a nothing-burger, the equivalent of the blue bucket meme.

These were deities for a homebrew campaign, and the DM had already provided their domain, element, and symbol (i.e. war, fire, stallion). I usually just generate 4 images at a time (only takes a few seconds on a 3090) and pick the one I like the best. Sometimes I’ll generate 2-3 sets of 4, but not often if I don’t have a clear idea of exactly what I’m looking for.

If it’s something really specific I need, I could spend hours using in painting and various noise/models to get what I want.

Edit: oops, I was thinking of a different montage I did recently: https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/595611323719481231

The previous linked image was much the same process, though the prompts were more detailed as the other players had provided more information on their character’s appearance.

There’s a ton of models and LoRa’s for it that can create a pretty wide variety of things. I use it for creating on-the-fly watercolor scenes during D&D sessions for my session journal.

While I appreciate the sentiment, isn’t that effectively the same as “if the restaurant won’t give you the complete recipe for their pizza sauce, how do you know they’re not trying to poison you?”

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Literally a key logger with extra steps.

Nagware was huge 20 years ago, hell Evernote still does it. They move the nag around each time as well.

How fucking bad does your math need to be to not realize that 250k in refunds for a 6 month period where the app is unusable equals 250k in revenue for the first 6 months of the year? All y’all are like “dev needs to eat, he deserves our support!” and the guy’s pulling down over 500k/year.

To be fair, a lot of those people are Reddit refugees that fled to lemmy.world and were fairly removed to begin with. I’m honestly not even sure why they left Reddit to begin with.
