There's a fine line between "artisanal" and "insanity". Post the end result when you're done so we can judge for ourselves ππ

This is a high quality meme π
I meant it as: You can be a man baby and still be correct. The two are not mutually exclusive.
...but don't let me stop you from overreacting to random, silly comments said in jest like a man baby π
Yeah it's probably just a client side issue but the OP mentioned Element, specifically π€·
I just wanted to point out that Element is no fun! No fun at all!
It works and it works great for what it does. Even voice and streaming are great with Element. It's just got a terrible, no-fun interface and pointless limitations on things like looping videos. You can't even configure it to make them play properly (as in, automatic and endlessly, the way they were meant to be played! π€).
Looping videos and animated emojis are super fun ways to chat with people. Even in professional settings! It really breaks up the humdrum and can motivate people to chat and share more.
Element is all serious all the time and going into a chat channel there feels like a chore.
The person making claims is the one that needs to provide the evidence. Anyone spreading unverified rumors should be viewed like The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
In order for a rumor or something like naked pictures to be effective in its purpose of bringing you down or blackmailing you it must cause emotional distress. If you don't take it seriously--or even better, don't give a shit about what random strangers say--it can't have power over you.
We don't live in tiny, closely-tied villages anymore. A rumor about you may be on the Internet forever but it'll be about as believable as a "hot singles in your area" ad and the likelihood of someone even finding it goes down over time as it gets drowned out by all the other bullshit that exists.
Even celebrities that are famous for doing stupid shit are finding that nobody remembers their past failings anymore. And they'll have hundreds to thousands of real news articles about their idiocy out there, ready for anyone to read.
They're not illegally harvesting anything. Copyright law is all about distribution. As much as everyone loves to think that when you copy something without permission you're breaking the law the truth is that you're not. It's only when you distribute said copy that you're breaking the law (aka violating copyright).
All those old school notices (e.g. "FBI Warning") are 100% bullshit. Same for the warning the NFL spits out before games. You absolutely can record it! You just can't share it (or show it to more than a handful of people but that's a different set of laws regarding broadcasting).
I download AI (image generation) models all the time. They range in size from 2GB to 12GB. You cannot fit the petabytes of data they used to train the model into that space. No compression algorithm is that good.
The same is true for LLM, RVC (audio models) and similar models/checkpoints. I mean, think about it: If AI is illegally distributing millions of copyrighted works to end users they'd have to be including it all in those files somehow.
Instead of thinking of an AI model like a collection of copyrighted works think of it more like a rough sketch of a mashup of copyrighted works. Like if you asked a person to make a Godzilla-themed My Little Pony and what you got was that person's interpretation of what Godzilla combined with MLP would look like. Every artist would draw it differently. Every author would describe it differently. Every voice actor would voice it differently.
Those differences are the equivalent of the random seed provided to AI models. If you throw something at a random number generator enough times you could--in theory--get the works of Shakespeare. Especially if you ask it to write something just like Shakespeare. However, that doesn't meant the AI model literally copied his works. It's just doing it's best guess (it's literally guessing! That's how work!).
To be fair, both you and your friend can be correct π€·
Element needs to be better. Discord is awesome with the way it auto-plays looping videos/gifs and has animated emojis.
Seriously: That's all they'd need to do. The element devs need to focus on fun.
Europe's response should be:
"OK, sure π"
That's like saying, "if you don't give in to the bully's demands he'll bully you!"
Russia has proven over and over again that they will be a pain in the ass to the entire world no matter what. They don't negotiate in good faith so there's no reason to give a damn what they think.
If Russia could be trusted they would never have invaded Ukraine, based on their previous treaty regarding nuclear disarmament.
We can fix this problem! Just make Tesla destruction as common as school shootings π
Yeah! They are now stuck reading comments like ours! π€
Every trip in a truck with an empty bed is a waste. Tooling around with stuff in the bed without the intent to deliver/use it at your destination is even worse.
Yet that describes 99.99999% of all pickup truck use in America. Just a huge ass waste of gas and space in parking lots.
Trucks are expensive too! If I were a scam artist I would definitely be targeting people driving shiny pickup trucks with empty beds. Because they definitely aren't practical or realistic people.
Wait: Maybe that's how MAGA started? π€
