No clue. While I don’t drink coffee, I did drink caffeinated sodas for a large part of my life. One day I just decided to stop drinking soda. I felt no sort of addiction or withdrawal symptom.

There are a few communities on there which I still check, but I spend a significantly less amount of time on Reddit than I used to. I also refuse to post anything or interact on that site anymore.

I use these sites to see what races are on my local ballot and to get an idea about who is running. If you need more info, you might search on some of your local news stations or newspaper websites.

For the major races, like President or Congress, hopefully you have already decided by now.

Oh my God, I HATE it when they use the dub script for the subtitles on anime. It’s fine if they want to offer it as a separate subtitle stream as closed captions for the hearing impaired, but when I’m watching something in the original language I expect the subtitles to be faithful to what they are actually saying, and I want the timing to actually match. It’s incredibly frustrating when the lines don’t actually match up with the sound of the dialogue, and then you realize it’s a “dubtitle” script.

Swarmui is really awesome, I’ve switched to it as my main ui recently.

You mean other than from the Native Americans?

You’re never going to get all Democrats to be satisfied with any candidate, ever. People are going to complain because they love complaining. That said, I think most people are probably fine with her.

Well, hopefully this will at least force stability’s hand in some way and get them to at least make an official statement instead of just remaining silent.

It’s been a wait, but glad to see it finally out. Looking forward to playing with it later.

Why would I tell them about “the fediverse”? Tell them that you use Lemmy or Mastodon or whatever. If they are interested then give them a link to a good instance. That’s it.

That’s the Internet as a whole.

Looks interesting, but also somewhat complicated. Now generation has to run through 3 models? I thought it was bad enough having a separate refiner model for sdxl.

Wow, this looks amazing!

I simply don’t understand what this fediverser thing is supposed to accomplish.

So apparently it is “eventually” supposed to let Reddit and Lemmy users interact with each other. And this will somehow cause people to join Lemmy? If someone is a reddit user, posting in Reddit where 99% of the community is, and they happen to see a comment from Lemmy, why would they even care? Why would they leave their community with 99% of the people to move to a smaller inactive community that only has any action at all due to copying content from the site that they are already on? It doesn’t make any sense!

And if that sad state of affairs is the eventual goal for the project, what is it accomplishing right now, other than annoying people with bot spam? If you want to read Reddit threads, go read Reddit. There is no reason to spam your personal reddit rss feed to the world. And what is even the purpose for it creating user accounts, which is basically impersonating people?

I think it basically boils down to 1 question. Is it currently accomplishing its goal of bringing actual new users to Lemmy, in any measurable way. If that answer is anything other than “yes”, then why is it enabled in the first place? If that answer is “yes”, then there are still a whole host of reasons why that might not be a good thing.

So is this just a new stable diffusion gui? Any notable features, or does it just work the same as all the other ones?

Saw a clip of someone working with it on an rtx 3090. Image was updating multiple times per second, and looked pretty good quality.

Well shit, they finally released the thing he was talking about a year ago.

Always have to take what he says with a grain of salt. I remember last year when he said they were a few weeks away from releasing a model that was like 30x faster.

Been trying this with my local comfy installation. It’s a lot of fun! For some reason it tells me I don’t have control net installed, even though I installed the stuff listed on the GitHub page.

Now I need to try to learn to paint in krita a little better

I know Vivaldi (the web browser company) hosts a Mastadon server. That’s what got me to start looking into Mastadon initially.
