I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)

  • I'm not Autistic (I have adhd but no autism diagnosis) but - I saw a meme the other day positing that autistic people are more resistant to ads

    Jump

  • That makes way more sense.

    Advertising bird seed and dog leashes to someone who keeps a python as a pet isn’t going to get them to buy anything. Make an ad about an auto-adjusting heat lamp and high quality frozen mice and they’ll probably perk up. Toss in an offer of a free snake plushie and a 10% first time discount for good measure.

    Nobody is immune to propaganda, but yeah it’s easier to ignore and not relate to something when it’s not targeted at you.

    Seriously though it’s glaringly straightforward and all the benefits of arch without the slog. I’ve been happy with it for years now.

  • I’ve done this countless times. My case was weird since I had a monitor that managed to regularly destroy my system but the gist is the same.

    Got to a point where I put a text file on my live stick to copy-paste the commands to untangle the clusterfuck. Could probably format it to a bash script but I’m lazy ¯(ツ)/¯

  • Why?

    Jump

  • Originally? To play with image AI models when they first came out.

    Then I got that taste of freedom and Windows felt icky. Haven’t touched that side of my dual boot for non-work purposes in years. Even for work it’s a last resort.

  • Holy hell your coach is an asshat I’m so sorry. It takes a lot to keep your cool on top of accomplishing all you did, especially when you weren’t feeling good!

    Since he won’t say it, you did great and should be proud of yourself. Might not mean as much coming from an internet stranger but you’ve got this.

    Hope you can get some better rest and enjoy the remainder of your trip best you can. Sending calm and positive vibes your way 🌸

  • If using AI generated art is theft, then why are we okay with memes using random people's digital art and photos with zero attribution?

    Jump

  • “We” is a very strong word here.

    You’ll find a lot of folks online pointing out that missing attribution is not okay and artist intent should be respected. Cropped artist watermarks/added reposter watermarks are shitty, and acknowledged as such.

    My own personal feelings are that expression should be free (with attribution), but I also acknowledge we live under a system where taking an individual’s art can take food off their table, which is not ethically conscionable. Unfortunately AI takes food off artists’ tables en masse then turns around and sells it for profit.

    Sharing AI output, even for free, and claiming it as your own work or not putting a disclaimer that it’s AI can be argued as a form of fraud for those reasons. People will look for a source and not providing one (if you know of it) creates an environment of distrust, which often is systemically exploited by bad actors at the upper echelons of society, AI or not.

  • Nervous about Pressure and Pampering?

    Jump

  • I do also feel kind of weird about being pampered, but admittedly it doesn’t stress me out to the same level you have to deal with.

    For me it’s less about the people themselves and their intent and more about being reminded that I’m helpless for a little while. My family also tends to respect when I can get things myself, though.

    I do break to pressure when I’m not feeling well too. Having to be in any sort of high sensory/social situation when I’m sick or recovering from something leaves me in tears the second I’m out of public view. Sometimes even the thought of an obligation makes me break down.

    Fortunately my loved ones tend to be understanding even if they don’t always remember my exact temperaments on these things and I try to keep that in mind when I’m frustrated.

    I think most of it comes down to feeling like I’m not in control of the few things I usually get to be when I’m vulnerable and it builds up.

    TL;DR: You’re not alone on this one. Well meaning but obtuse family happens lol, maybe making your position extra clear about it beforehand could help if you haven’t already.

  • How nice of Dash to share their tummy 🖤

    I’ve gotten about all of 20-30 mins sleep but that’s okay. I’ve been playing Slime Rancher 2 on and off since it (finally!) came out of early access and officially launched on the 23rd. Has this week’s sense of time felt weird to anyone else?

    Hope your tummy feels better soon.
