Yes, which is why a delicate mixture of both is best because they spend their efforts fighting each other rather than fighting your freedom.

How are you able to generate images so quickly? When I tried to run Stable Diffusion on my nominally comparable GPU (RX6800M, similar to 6700XT, 12GB VRAM), it took over a minute to get halfway to generating a medium sized image before my entire computer crashed.

Does this mean that the global warming potential of gaseous polyethylene (plastic) is something stupidly high? Even Methane (4 springy balls radiating from 1 bigger ball) has a way higher (28:1) global warming potential than Carbon Dioxide.

I don't like that first article, it gives contradicting information about the energy usage per image, saying 0.29kWh/image then saying 0.29kWh/1000 images.

The other problem with Photoshop is that it now scans your projects.

Just price it right and people will rent. For a single person this is all they really need.

I think that YT should open up APIs to make a better frontend for third party apps, like what Reddit had, at least to premium users.

If you aren't signed into an Apple ID it'll give you nag pop-ups.

If you don't accept the iCloud T&C, even if you never use it, it'll give you nag pop-ups.

If you haven't set up Apple pay, it'll give you nag pop-ups.

It'll also give you a double nag pop-up for every new minor iOS version until you update it.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch here.

I use Calc84 on the Google Play store, free with minimal ads and a one-time fee to remove ads.

But it seems like others have found FOSS versions here.

Most Android skins. Even stock Android can get naggy at times.

And don't even get me started on iOS if you haven't done what Apple wants you to do. It'll give you a pop-up at least once every day.

Oh, and Smart TVs? Don't even think about having any control; you are a slave to the OS.

So you're saying I can get away with anything as long as I somehow legally declare myself a corporation?

Don't forget the few artists that do exist are forced to make state propaganda

 

This is the #1 reason why I don't buy Apple anymore. But if there was an easy private way, I'd be open to getting Apple products again.

I simply want to transfer files from my PC to my iPad without any companies collecting info about the files, such as legally acquired mp3 files that dumb corporations will think are pirated.

What are the ways to do this?

 

I've seen many instances of some software having DRM that significantly degrades the performance of the software, or worse, the performance of the entire OS due to heavy background tasks. Prime examples include Denuvo and all those Adobe background processes. Why can't they just simply use the TPM or the other 5 security chips embedded into the CPU so that they don't bloat the system?

 

YouTube link

This might be a bit different than what usually gets posted here but I found this on Nebula and its perhaps my favorite video I've seen on the platform yet. You can also watch it on YouTube (strangely YT didn't suggest it to me despite it being right up my alley).

I absolutely love this idea of trying to do long distance riding with little e-bikes and e-scooters, or basically anything on 2 (or just 1???) wheels.

 

I think of myself as technically inclined. I have installed Linux multiple times and have basic command line knowledge, and I've programmed in many languages, with the most experience making a static website game using HTML/CSS/JS.

Additionally, I own the superspruce.org domain (my registrar is Dynadot), but I don't really know how to wield the power of owning a domain. I also have some spare computers to be used for hosting, a 2009 laptop running Lubuntu and a 3900X+32GB RAM desktop other running KDE Neon, but I'm also open to experimenting with cloud hosting too (I know, sacrilege here).

However, I don't know much about the TCP/IP protocol or other networking protocols. I'm happy to learn, but the curve would need to start gently.

I would want to try hosting my websites, and also a personal non-federated Lemmy instance to serve as a archivable forum for my games. Even if it's not very useful, it's great experience.

 

Not sure if this is the right community for this, but I see plenty of electric motorcycle stuff here, so I'll bite. Message me if this is the wrong place for this content.

Anyways, really? AI? On a motorcycle? Isn't the entire point of motorcycles feeling the freedom of manipulating your machine to do what you ask of it? Without any AI and data selling nonsense? Please don't let this be the direction of motorcycling.

AI is powerful has a place in many areas. Just keep it out of motorcycles, a hobby defined by skill, freedom, and most importantly, fun.

Give us electric motorcycles whose tech adds to the experience, not tries to turn it into a IoT data harvesting device, please.

 

If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?

I'll go first:

  1. Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
  2. Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
  3. Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)
 

I'm not sure if this is the best community to post in, but I just bought a used computer and slotted in an RX480 as the GPU. I installed KDE Neon 5.27 on it, and it worked flawlessly for 2 days.

Then, even though it was working earlier today, it slept and then would not wake up. So I turned off the power and turned it back on again, and was greeted with this error screen:

The only prior error message I'd gotten from the system was when I tried to install wine for one application, it told me some packages weren't up to date, without a way to fix it. I can enter the BIOS just fine.

What is going on? How do I fix this?
