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.

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.

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!

The last time Maxime Bernier won his seat was 2015, the last time he ran as a Conservative.

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.

I really enjoyed spreadsheets before becoming a programmer (I still enjoy them, I just spend less time on them) and basically self taught over the years using Google Sheets.

There are several really useful functions on sheets that simply do not exist in Excel, and there are others that work almost the same but not quite. Having to use Excel drives me insane sometimes because of how clunky it feels.

By contrast, using LibreCalc feels kinda how you’d expect an open source Google Sheets to feel? It’s slightly clunkier, but it gets the job done and generally feels better to use than Excel

Perfect. Thank you for taking the time to respond

I’ve tried reading through the article, but unfortunately, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. I use openSUSE, how does this affect me, and what do I need to do/what can I do about this?

My partner was eligible for ~$750 per month repayments under a Biden era plan that Trump scrapped. They now have to pay ~$4300 per month. The headline isn’t far off.

Great, now I’m Swedish

Apparently that’s because I misremembered the band name this morning lol.

Youtube link to the song that introduced me. They do electronic stuff based on DnD classes or 40k lore.

This is why I specified “nearly” the worst. It can absolutely get the job done and has basically every tool you’d need to do the job, but it’s pretty much the worst amongst the “this will do everything you need” options.

My thought process was abacus < pen & paper < text file < spreadsheet < database solutions

I’ve been listening to The Barenaked Ladies & Great Big Sea a lot the last week, with a little Endless Taverns mixed in.
