Oh no, I get you. I think we are a similar age.

I was at the Reading Festival in '96 and I think offspring were playing.

There was a slightly older guy stood in the middle of the crowd shouting, you call this punk… This ain’t punk. This ain’t shit.

The kids were laughing at him.

This week in Glasgow Green Day played a gig and all I saw was middle aged men and their daughters wearing matching merch t-shirts.

I’m assuming at some point I travel back in time to '96 to try to stop this.

She may be a Puncke: for many of them, are neither Maid, Widow, nor Wife.

Damn, you really old.

Adore the darktable gang.

That hair though.

C’mon man, it’s time to get a coverage appropriate cut or just shave it altogether.

He looks like a boiled sweet that’s been dropped on the carpet.

All my heart still belongs to the canon HV20 forum. It taught me how to film, it taught me how to chat to people in an online community.

It was never about a camcorder. It was about connection.

Plus, you could search for stuff on google and the forum results would pop up. Good look with discord doing that.

I mean, I did mean run but also, yes, windows 10 is hot AF.

My set up comfortably plays cyberpunk at dead fancy settings, but doesn’t meet the system requirements for windows 11.

Yeah, I’m going to rub out windows 10 as long as I can (although I dual boot Debian anyway).

That’s why it is stubbonky popular.

(However, I like your idea, that seems like a cool way to make pictures)

I mean this in the most positive way… I don’t believe you until you can show us how you did it

The image is lovely, but easily faked. I’ve been taking photographs with weird things for years and I still can’t get my head around this.

Show and tell and you have my adoration.

I’ll wait

Edit:

"> For sure.

It’s a canon Lide 30 scanner at its core. You have to remove the light source (a tiny RGB LED) and a pinhole array from the front of the sensor. Then I used a dremel to widen the slit the sensor looks through, to deal with some pretty severe vignetting. The optical assembly is made from foam board, gaffers tape and an acrylic lens liberated from a regular magnifying glass. I use a software called VueScan to perform the actual scan."

Yeah. That’s pretty cool. Have the adoration you crafty fox.

Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.

My experience with certain chemicals suggests this is true.

Absolutely. I wrote about this a while back in an essay:

Prime and Mash / Kuru

Basically likening it to a prion disease like Kuru, which humans get from eating the infected brains of other humans.

Can we swap out the word “hallucinations” for the word “bullshit”?

I think all AI/LLM stuf should be prefaced as “someone down the pub said…”

So, “someone down the pub said you can eat rocks” or, “someone down the pub said you should put glue on your pizza”.

Hallucinations are cool, shit like this is worthless.

How you choose to fight hell spawn is OK with me.

Right?! When they could be playing Doom on it.

Well, once again a tech company gives a service I don’t care for an overhaul I don’t want and tries to charge a fee I won’t pay.

I suspect when this doesn’t do the numbers they want they’ll try adding a user fee to oxygen as a retaliation.

If only she was ever in a situation where her voice was professionally recorded.

Absolutely loving the replies to this.

This is how the extended Linux community wins for me.

Sure we talk shit for fun. The Arch BTW stuff, the Gentoo shade and Slackware side-eye. But its all in jest, ultimately.

Well done.

So there are ways.
