Get back to me when it federates with Friendica, but I'm 0% interested in this side of social media, personally.

Yeah I have aphantasia :(

I have the concept of an apple in my head, followed by the concept of rotating it, but I'm otherwise mind blind.

To be clear, I'm perfectly ok with ethically trained (open-source weights and data set) generative AI being used locally on a small scale, I think generative AI is a double-edged technology like anything else.

It should never be the end product, but simply a tool.

In this picture here, you can see the skeleton is weird and other images and text is a bit wonky, these elements should have been touched up by a human. This is what I consider slop, raw AI output has this look and feel to it that makes it immediately identifiable, it is up to the artist to touch it up and adjust colours. Again, it should never be the final product. Something as simple as text should probably have been created normally.

I'm against Meta, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, MidJourney, etc.'s use of generative AI for the reasons stated above, but small scale genAI on your local device? Go for it.

I find genAI imagery extremely uncanny and creepy, and I can't condone the usage of a system whose creators yearn for a day where companies won't have to pay human creators anymore and can simply funnel their funds directly into the pockets of giant corporations instead.

Additionally, commercial-scale generative AI is already destroying the environment in communities across the world due to its power use.

Also plagiarism: https://spectrum.ieee.org/amp/midjourney-copyright-2666872100

Commercial image generation models are trained on real people's copyrighted works with no regard for paying them for using said work, putting more money in large corporations' pockets.

It's not something I can accept nor condone, and I will continue to shame people for facilitating the transfer of wealth and destruction of our environment.

I thought we could do better on Lemmy than to lean on large, polluting technology companies for content, those same companies who have military deals to create civilian-killing robots.

 

Just figured out how to address my RGB RAM on Linux, and the 5 LEDs were perfect for a trans flag

 
 

Today's culprit is... Jello's Chocolate Pudding! Oh wait, no, "pudding snacks", whatever in the label-regulation-dodging fuck that means.

Posting here because this has quickly become a very common shrinkflation tactic where the manufacturer substitutes fructose/sucrose in their main product with the cheaper aspartame and stevia and calls it "healthy". There is no sucrose-only version of this product anymore.

However, these shrinkflated products taste bitter, unsweetened and are completely unappetizing to me. So I end up having to look at labels very carefully (usually some thin text at the bottom of the label) to make sure they didn't sneak in some artificial sweetener.

The strangest part is I haven't seen or heard of anyone complaining about it, are we in the minority of people for who artificial sweeteners are bitter, like Cilantro that tastes like soap? Both me and my partner find it bitter and unappetizing in any product, but only I have the "cilantro gene".

I did find these articles on the topic:

Hello!

As per the title, one feature I miss from Gmail and similar is the ability to automatically upload files greater than 25mb to a cloud destination. I wonder if it's already possible and I've simply missed it, or if it's in the works.

This would have the added benefit of giving purpose to my Proton Drive, which sits useless and empty as a Linux user as I can't really sync it to anything besides my phone.

Hello! Fedora 39, I've been stumped by this issue for a long time.

I have 4 DDR4 sets of 8 GB G.SKILL Trident Z RGB.

I tried the latest Flatpak, RPM as well as building the master branch for source, but every version can't find Trident Z in the "Supported Devices" section, and it doesn't show up under Devices.

I validated that the i2c modules were loaded, and the udev rules were put in place, both using the RPM and by running the script provided over at https://openrgb.org/udev.html

When running OpenRGB, in the terminal, I get:

[i2c_smbus_linux] Failed to read i2c device PCI device ID

even when running as sudo.

My motherboard is an AORUS X470 ULTRA GAMING (cringe name, I know), if it makes any difference for i2c support. As a side note, this motherboard has RGB, but it's not detected in OpenRGB. I think it should be supported, and I see it when running openrgb --list-devices -vv, but maybe the revision is wrong.

[Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2 SMBus] Success - Found 'X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING-CF' in the JSON list
[Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2 SMBus] Bus 02 is not a motherboard or the subvendor does not match the one for Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., skipping detection
[Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2 SMBus] Bus 06 is not a motherboard or the subvendor does not match the one for Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., skipping detection
[Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2 SMBus] no devices found
[Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2 SMBus] detection end

Please let me know if further details are required.

TIA!
