I second this, they need a webring, it’s what I went looking for.

Liberal economic theories beleive the free market is the best solution generally, but allow the free market to be intervened in or even entirely supplanted in cases of market failure or where significant social problems arise from private ownership. There is a lot of debate inside liberalism as to when a market has failed, or when a social issue requires intervention, which is why sometimes you will see centrist liberals and left liberals arguing. Just look at Canada with our Liberal Party, its a big tent party with a small social democrat rump(since most social Dems are NDP), a larger social liberal / left liberal group, as well as some centrist and “blue liberals” (these would be right liberals, who are harder to convince about market failures).

Liberalism can be progressive, especially when the main thrust of a liberal party is left liberal or social liberal. Some Liberal parties are progressive sometimes, then more centrist at others as members and the membership changes over the years (or often on the strength and leanings of their leader). All still liberalism.

I think you’re mistaking VanZants’ self-awareness of his southern pride and conflicting knowledge of the south’s troubled history with an intentional caricaturization .

The song was certainly written in response to Young , as Van Zant thought Neil had been too broad. However, he obviously was aware that Neil had a point, so walking the line between pointing out Neil’s generalization (as Van Zant saw it) while expressing pride was difficult and I think, ultimately too difficult a challenge.

Sweet Home Alabama really grinds my gears. Neil Young sings about systemic racism in the south and Skynard retorts ‘yea some people here are racist ♪ but not all of us are ♪ frig off Neil Young♪ whoa now look at the sky’. Horse shit lyrics, sick composition.

More in line with your work , GPT4 prompt , DALL-E image.

" I chose this scene because I wanted to create an image that blends elements of nature, the cosmos, and a personal touch with the ebike, which I gathered from your profile might be of interest to you. The goal was to create a serene setting that might resonate with someone who appreciates astronomy and the tranquility of nighttime landscapes.

As for the prompt, it was: “Illustration of a serene nighttime landscape. A large, glowing moon illuminates a tranquil lake surrounded by tall pine trees. In the foreground, an ebike rests against a tree, its lights slightly glowing. Above, a vast expanse of stars twinkles, with a few constellations clearly visible. The scene exudes a sense of peace and wonder, inviting observers to contemplate the vastness of the universe.”

I hope this provides some insight into the thought process behind the image!"

I love that you are doing this in a home setting. I have generated art and chat in my local system but the charm wore off a bit /my time is thin and I’ve just started using my gPT subscription.

So I’ll share, and not that I consider this impressive or anything, but I’ve been getting GPT4 to reccomend prompts for me, then pasting them back into DAL-E and looking at results.

Mostly I use it to create prompts where the art style or inspiration would be copyright protected. So for example, if I say “make something in the art style of adventure time” it will say no. But then I ask, describe the art style of adventure time without reference to the show itself and I end up with results that are in that style.

Example of a DAL-E image from a GPT4 generated prompt, unfortunately I don’t have the prompt saved 😕 I was just making these for fun with my young daughter.

Wuppo… Let’s see. Metroidvania… Steam Deck verified… On sale for $1.49

Yup, thanks for this! Looks like I’m playing Wuppo!

In the book I don’t believe they were nukes, just described as a pre-war missle silo. They fire 4 into the gardens, it’s pretty clear in the games that the gardens and surrounding area are the home of the dark ones, they live really right on top of humanity. I haven’t played last light tho so I’m not sure about anything else.

Hahaha yup.

Me: Yes I went to the store yesterday, yes I paid by credit card, No I don’t have a receipt.

Google: great, here’s 47 cents.

You can read about their pricing structure (both sub and one time purchase) and decisions regarding that here : https://help.niagaralauncher.app/article/104-price-of-niagara-pro

I locked in the lifetime price years ago, I have been with them through the beta. I know the lifetime price is higher now but I think they still offer it. I think it’s worth the price, subscription or lifetime.

I bought the lifetime pro for $12.99 CAD way back in Jan 2020. Worth every penny. I’d pay double to be honest, now that I’ve had a chance to use it for years and years. The dev really works at it too.

That’s really nice.

I use the Niagara Launcher, it serves favorite apps up in a vertical list, and other apps in an alphabetical list. It’s very quick and easy to navigate and quite customizable with some widget support. It works with music apps, has a dark mode, makes changing icon packs easy. You can swipe up to search, or add a search button. I just love how minimal, clean and functional it is.

Here is my home screen. Note there is no left or right screen to swipe to .

Here is the app list, under N.
