One of my tests is checking for pores. AI tends to make skin look too smooth/uniform where real people have an uneven distribution of pores, making the AI image look unnatural.

I was once rejected for being too tall. I'm 1.96m (~6'5") and she was ~ 1.65m (~5'5"), said that she didn't like the thought of having to crane her neck to see my face.

There's always been very vocal criticisms of her from people who don't agree with her (for whatever reason they may have). But since she first started her activism, over a decade ago, no one I personally know has had a negative view of her. The people who don't like her are very vocal about it, but on the whole I've always assumed she's well liked.

I've personally been a fan of hers since I found out about her, and every time I hear about her doing something I basically always go "hell yeah"

I did some digging and think I found the answer (more details in my comment here). The pricing in the screenshot is for business customers, not residential users.

I think I found the answer. When I checked Starlink's site, those prices plans match up with the personal plans, but it appears that the user in the screenshot has a business plan.

Starlink Local Priority Pricing Starlink Global Priority Pricing

Screenshots should be the Business Local Priority & Global Priority pricing respectively. My prices might be different than the original screenshot (I'm in Canada and I'm not sure how they localize pricing), but the data amounts seems to line up with the selections in the screenshot.

I do not like that graph turning back on itself at the end. It implies some cursed time travel shit that I am not prepared to comprehend the consequences of.

Still mad that they killed the Guardian.

PEI resident here. As of last year, we've got ~180k people living here.

My partner is American (we're working on that), so I need to cross to visit them. I'm the most "works and office job and doesn't do much else" looking person you can imagine. I've been asked when the last time I was arrested was, how much drugs do I really have in the car when I said none the first time they asked, had them check my trunk and back seats because I handed them my passport funny, and almost been denied entry because I had a dress suit in my back seat.

I would never risk crossing if I wasn't a white male at this point.

Fun fact! Sharks have gills for breathing and nostrils for smelling, unlike us who have a mouth for breathing and nostrils for both!

I literally got the Acrtic Nova 7 a month ago, and I daily drive OpenSUSE. There were no issues getting it set up for normal use, but Sonar doesn't have a Linux version and as far as I could find there are no instructions to get it working so all of those creature comforts will not work.

One thing to note is that if you connect to Windows via Bluetooth and not the dongle, make sure to unpair the headset before wiping Windows. I ran into this because I had it connected to my old phone and had to unpair it to connect it to my new one (the headset will not pair to a new device unless intentionally unpaired from the old one)

I used sheets because it was portable and flexible, but now I'd almost always just use a db instead.

My main use for excel now is "I need to send data to someone who isn't a programmer" and doing json > CSV conversions to see if my 3000 rows of data from a 3rd party have all the necessary bits.

 

TL;DR: Lost internet mid update, decided to be an idiot and restart my laptop. Turns out it was in the middle of a kernel update, took some puttering to make things work again.

Story time. I have a Mint laptop that I use rarely because of my openSUSE desktop. Because I use it so rarely, every time I turn it on, there will be a kernel update. So today, I turned it on and ran my update script only to have it lose internet halfway through (it was a VPN issue).

Because I can be impatient, I said, "Surely nothing will go wrong," and hard powered off the laptop. Reboot it, and my desktop background is gone. Also, Ctrl+Alt+T isn't working. Actually, nothing except for my desktop icons are accessible. Turns out when I powered off my laptop, it was in the middle of specifically the kernel update (or at least some portion of it).

Through trial and error, I figured out that I got to open exactly one program and have it work as intended. Once I opened a second one, I could no longer go back to the first, and once I opened a third, my keyboard would no longer work.

But I got lucky because I had a folder available on my desktop. I was able to open the file manager, navigate to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal to get that open, and re-run the update script. After rebooting the computer, everything worked as normal, but it was a terrifying moment. Cautionary tale, I guess?
