Honestly I loved Season 19, it absolutely raked modern culture, like the SoDoSoPa episodes, the town desperately trying to get a whole foods while ignoring everything wrong with it. Highly recommend it.

Keep on going, it's a good dream to have! (Get a good insurance policy too...)

Agree there, Tesla is pretty dang obvious, and it's a huge purchase. It's not buying a non-organic tomato or a chicken sandwich, it's very clear where the money goes, and you had to make a very clear conscious decision about it that you will be living with for years to come.

First of all, you're demanding me answer something that is completely separate from the original argument. OP asked about judging other people for their purchases. You are asking about an action that presents direct violent harm, something completely different. Purchasing something from a company may support violence in some way, but purchasing an item may support the company's practices, but it does not necessarily mean that every purchase directly funds those harmful actions. Your comparison is quite literally the "Appeal to Emotion" fallacy, it is not a good-faith argument, you are trying to present an emotional picture that isn't relevant, and I won't buy into it.

All the time on the internet this happens. Someone here put it very well. Someone can ask "What is 2+2" and a commenter will reply "4". Someone else then will inevitably reply "Well what about 2+3?! You didn't even consider it!"

The question was asked and answered, you're asking something completely separate.

I hoard media for many reasons, including this one.

Those are completely separate examples and you know it.

Dude you're saying we shouldn't value his opinion because he's rich, but then go onto say that your opinion should be more valued because...

He has how many kids and still longs this badly for attention

And then everybody clapped

I took a film class years and years ago and we watched films from the 1930s to modern, and one theme we kept returning to was how the villains changed with the times. 40s obviously it was Germans, then in the 50s it became the Russians. 70s it became big nameless corporations, 80s went to the USSR. Popular media follows the current trends, whether those in charge like it or not. It mirrors modern life. It's no surprise to me that modern film and media are showing the bad guys as ultra wealthy and corporations again.

I've learned that the vast vast vast majority of people don't care. I can spend all my time hating everyone for being lazy and ordering daily items from Amazon, or eating Chick Fil A, or whatever, but I'll end up hating 99% of the population. I don't have time for that.

All I can do is focus on myself and what I spend my money on. Sure I educate where I can, but you don't want to be the preachy person either, because they'll just start ignoring you. Do what you can, but if you're going to judge people for buying things - you're going to judge everyone - and then that's more on you.

Wasn't it because she got a new role on Becker? I don't believe she was fired at all, and honestly she knew the series was winding down and got a new role at a new show that went on for 7 years, it obviously was the right move for her

 

I think it was awful of @nytimes to publish. Triggering for me to read— not because the writer mentioned my nearly ending my life— but seeing a public person’s sexuality being discussed is upsetting.

I think the Gaylors should be ashamed of themselves. They are doing exactly what LGTBQ+ have fought against for decades now - people making assumptions about their own lives and sexuality - but they're masking it because it's Taylor.

I'm in the camp of anything that's not public is just that - not public. Even if it were true (and all signs point to it not being true), then it'd be disrespectful of us to talk about it unless she made it public. Think about it, you're going out of your way to talk about something that she explicitly has hidden from the rest of the world. That doesn't make you a better fan, it makes you a gossip and not an ally.

Hey all, brand new to this community, excited to be here!

I've stumbled my way through SD and I currently also have text-generation-webui up and running, and now SillyTavern. Having lots of fun with all of this stuff, learning how it works together, and how it all works!

I've made a few models elsewhere, but TTS models for some reason I'm having issues wrapping my head around. I have a voice I want to make a model for, and I have some videos currently. I'm very familiar with editing audio and video, but stripping out their voice second by second sounds exhausting tbh.

I was wondering if anyone had any good guides on their process of making a TTS model? Are there steps that can be automated while still producing decent results? How much time do I need of a person speaking? Should I run any specific tools to clean up audio? I'm completely new so any and all advice would be great.

I want to run it locally and "plug it in" to my cluster already, so also I'll need the model to work with a tool that will work with the above programs (and I'll take advice there too if you have it!)

Thanks!

 

Simple as that, I have a few GPUs hanging around and I want to build a GPU node for my kubernetes cluster. I already have one, GPUs are attached and it can do cool things like transcoding plex easy enough, but I'm starting to look to the horizon for my next big projects.

So, dream machine, how could I accomplish building a big ol' server with the GPUs I have hanging around and maybe a new one?

What CPU/Mobo, and maybe most important, power supply, would you recommend for running maybe even 4x GPUs? Or maybe just 3 and I'm being crazy.

Won't be building tomorrow like I said, but I just thought of this and was like "man, I bet not a lot of consumer hardware would support this..."

 

Cross posting this because I'm interested in the discussion over here.

One thing I don't understand from rural folks who don't like urban living is the absolute need to tear down urban living. I'm urban, I have a lot of friends who are urban, nobody I know who is urban just goes out and says "Woof rural living, that's a stupid way to live. Everyone who lives that way is stupid and dumb" like how rural "small town" folks speak about us city dwellers.

I mean, I personally hated rural living. I found it limiting, there was nothing to do, it was hard to get around, and I felt like gossip was just abundant. BUT I don't tear down people for choosing that life, urban living isn't for everyone.

I guess I just don't understand why it can't go both ways. Why small town people are always demonizing city folks.

The song here just highlights all of that. They have to treat cities as crime ridden hell holes, rather than just admit they are two different ways to live.

Please, before posting, we've seen a lot of these post saying X instance is down right now, or "is X instance down?". The answer is probably, but it's probably because Lemmy v0.19 dropped and it includes some downtime, upwards of an hour for all the migrations to finish.

Please, hold off on asking/posting for an hour or so. Your sysadmins are waiting for it to come back online.

Proper HDD clear process? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Usually my process is very... hammer and drill related - but I have a family member who is interested in taking my latest batch of hard drives after I upgraded.

What are the best (linux) tools for the process? I'd like to run some tests to make sure they're good first and also do a full zero out of any data. (Used to be a raid if that matters)

Edit: Thanks all, process is officially started, will probably run for quite a while. Appreciate the advice!

 

Been working on what we'll call the final Hub in this game. Main rail nexus and sorting floor, plus a warehouse being built. This is a shot of the mainline cooridor. Still a LOT to do

 

My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven't looked back)

 

No update yesterday, didn't have much to show. But after way too many hours yesterday and some polish this morning I present the World Hole Bridge

 

Another update to the factory, Tiers 5 and 6 are unlocked, and now comes my specialty - the rail network.

Yesterday I paved over the Swamp, the new location of our next Hub. The second half of the day was spent building the East Coast Mainline, shown here. Right now going from Dune Desert to Swamp, and soon to be extended to Grassy Fields

 

Day 2 was shorter for me, had a holiday party, but still managed to build a Tier 3 Reinforced Plate/Modular Frame factory as shown. 20/min of each for now.

Today while my cohort is working on Plastic in the canyon I'll be moving out to Swamp to start building out our new Hub/train depot. Wish me efficiency.
