Got it, thanks for clarifying. I got the wrong impression.

Is there another case with over +200 plus killed?

I'm all for hypotheticals, but the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion lead to millions of people having this exact conversation about media bias, so when you associate the death toll in this context, I am reminded of all those people who fell for blatant misinformation and critize good journalism.

The OC's comment reflects the context around the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion exactly. I would think it is naive to have not made the connection, but I also followed the war moderately close.

Why do you think I only know of singular hospital attacks? You made it up and judged me for it, because I corrected misinformation.

And isn't the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion the only alleged hospital attack with 200+ killed in a single strike? Any reasonable person would connect the above hypothetical with that important awful event.

Misinformation must be corrected. That shouldn't only apply to your enemies.

do you hate AI generated art? why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

AI generation is a gradient from clean up to controlling every pixel.

If an artist draws the line art, does basic coloring, but has a network do the sharing, that's art. How far does that carry?

Surely, anything that had heart and soul poured into it is art, right? Text prompt, or otherwise. You don't have to resonate with it. You can be scared of it.

But you said imagination, feeling, skill make up art. It is bold, or naive, to think those who create AI works doesn't have these traits, like to say the hobbies, programmers, and the curious, aren't artists.

If you like open ended grinding based games, get it, but I'm burned out. I did not enjoy this game.

12 has more divisibles than 10.

12, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1

10, 5, 2, 1

Some suspect 12 was picked because you can more easily divide up into more useful time chunks.

Edit: you wrote this in your comment and I missed it somehow.

How can we stop bots from dominating lemmy? (lemm.ee)
 

Best ideas I got are random captchas, make lemmy invite only, and/or set up some sort of verification system.

Maybe the captcha failure rates visible on a user profile. These tactics can scare off new users but letting lemmy get taken over could be worse than doing nothing.

I watched twitter slowly get flooded with bots. I don't want the same to happen here.

What are the most festive spots in North America to celebrate Halloween? (lemm.ee)
 

My partner and I love Halloween but our community has few activities besides a couple of haunted houses. We're considering spending Halloween week somewhere more festive and are looking for some recommendations. We both grew up in the Midwest with corn mazes and night markets, but we are open to spending time in Mexico for Day of the Dead. What are your suggestions?

Any good Telegram alternative? (lemm.ee)
 

I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.

I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.

Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

I was considering getting a LG G5. Some models support an older version of LineageOS and I love the replaceable battery.

What do you recommend?

Handyman suggested cutting hole in 1330 sq. ft. attic for second attic ventilator. Does this make sense? (lemm.ee)
 

General info: Looking to get current attic ventilator fan replaced. The attic is about 1400 sq. ft. Current attic ventilation fan is a foot from the ridge of the roof. Live in USA.

Handyman wants: To install two 1500 CFM fans. Two 120 volt 20amp dedicated circuits, one for each fan. He wants to install the second fan 4 feet away from the current fan. He stated that the attic ventilator fan would need to be replaced within 6 years.

My questions: Would two fans be better than one fan? Would I need two 120 volt circuits to run two fans? Is there an attic ventilator that has a user replaceable fan?

Thank you in advance for any help.
