it’s like bread. if you only ever saw white bread on sandwiches you might be confused to hear about someone loving a good sourdough or rye from the bakery.

i mean, it’s the right that’s currently trying to make laws banning trans care. the left just wants them to be left alone. as soon as the right stops trying to ban them the left will stop having anything to complain about

damn… does this count? like generally we want to avoid plastic cups in the ocean, but would it be bad to take something like this from say, a hermit crab? if we take the cup where will it go? chances are it will just end up somewhere else it shouldn’t, but this time without being made use of by crabs. my knee jerk reaction was to say animals using plastics don’t count, but that’s clearly not true when we reuse garbage intentionally to create animal habitat like artificial reefs. can we really say that only humans have the capacity to reuse their own garbage effectively?

i still don’t see how pointing out the circumstances of their birth is so relevant to discussions about their later political achievements.

maybe bottom middle then somewhere between those two

i still remembe needing to wait literal hours at the gate every damn time. we were never even close to late. they were always panicking. i don’t understand it…

it’s not just parents either. some people are just like that when they travel. I’ve tried going places with friends that made it absolutely miserable as an adult because they were fucking panicking the whole time until we sat on the plane. i swear some people have never dealt with a deadline before or something. don’t know how to deal with a clock ticking down i guess.

no, they just replaced the normal tools with ai-enhanced versions and are labeling everything like that now.

ai noise reduction should not get this tag.

there’s a lot more than generative fill.

ai denoise, ai masking, ai image recognition and sorting.

hell, every phone is using some kind of “ai enhanced” noise reduction by default these days. these are just better versions of existing tools than have been used for decades.

yeah, the idea didn’t take off until the previous generation of doctors died. it’s a fact that often both encourages and discourages me.

even doctors were too stubborn to accept they may have been wrong about something so important, no matter the evidence. however, even those that are so stubborn that they’ll take it to the grave will eventually be passed up by a new generation who has known of this idea since before they were born. at worst, this kind of stubbornnes is only likely to stall progress for 2 generations.

still, millions of people died because humans are stubborn.

i mean, i don’t think anyone has actually considered including the leaked data in the leak announcement. it seems so obvious to just say which fields are leaked that i hadn’t even considered that someone might think to include the data itself.

i mean, they already mobilized and attacked once. January 6 was not a spur of the moment thing. if you watched the hearings for it you’d know that the fbi knew about j6 for months and warned everyone they could.

presumably there’s much the same kind of planning happening right now.

that’s why i said they were like military pants but short lol

it’s still the same style of pants and that’s still how they’re described, theses ones are just cut into shorts. military is just the term for the style of pants worn in dress uniforms. it doesn’t mean every pair of pants in that cut are used by the military.

i mean, i think it’s pretty obvious they meant like dress uniforms. these are just short and tight compared to dress blues, but generally in a similar style.

eh, as a videographer who measures and labels the output of lights professionally sometimes, we count bounced lights as lights.

it’s also damn slow and destructive if you’re trying to fit it into a true professional workflow with deadlines. i work with programs like it professionally and I only use gimp when i find myself on a random computer that doesn’t have anything else. it’ll get the job done, pretty much any job, but it might be very slow and painful. as someone who DEFINITELY knows how to use gimp, i understand the op they’re clowning more than i understand the 1 peer i know that’s actually managing to make money with a fully foss workflow. I also happen to know he largely doesn’t sleep to accomplish it.

gimp and darktable and similar projects are great, but workflow efficiency is what they do after they finish adding features. that just never happens. it’s not the exciting work.

brother that was over a decade ago. that change happened almost a quarter of the internet’s lifespan ago.

they did that in 2009. YouTube only existed in that state for 2 years. so like 90% of YouTube’s existence has not included the star rating.

yes, all of them. if what the tech was made for.

wizard probably had to transmute his clothes smaller to fit. not many medieval folk would likely be able to easily acquire frog sized clothing.

oh but that’s basically only humans. our mouths are one of our fairly unique features.

Nestle can probably monetize in the future, so I’m sure they’re working on it.
