It works!

And was surprisingly easy.

Thanks so much for your help. I will.pay it forward!

Now I’ve used it a bit, it seems to me that it doesn’t allow you to insert an image of your choice in that black space; it will just generate what you prompt it to, where directed by your uploaded mask. It therefore doesn’t offer much more functionality than the normal inpainting tool. Is that right? It’s just a more precise method of selection?

Apologies if this was obvious to everyone but me.

For a complete noob, can you explain the difference between the versions? Does V3 interact with the V2 OK?

Is this not an insane tripping hazard?

Class war has been on since 1979.

Good points. I was referring to Thatcher and the start of the neoliberal policies which led to 2008 crash and then the austerity which led from it.

As for the neolithic revolution thing. Have you read The Dawn of Everything? That book disputes quite forcefully the idea that agriculture led to class structures etc. They state that this idea is outdated and has since been disproven by archeological findings. Some ancient agrarian societies were tyrannical, others were not. In the same way some forager groups were heirachical and even had slaves and some were far more egalitarian. It’s an excellent book.

I found it powerful as it presents the idea that we choose how we live to a large extent. It’s not determined by our mode of food production/technology alone (and therefore may not be doomed).

Yes, reading Superimperialism at the moment. It’s good. DoE was co-written so feels different to bullshit jobs (only other thing if his I’ve read). I think it’s an important book.

In light of the power autage and height temps in Houston, I’m interested in building a low power cooling room. Anyone here have experience with such a thing?

Pretty good idea. I’d never thought about reducing the space like that before. We should get a heat prep Lemmy community on the go.

Has it improved health or reduced obesity, though? That’s kind of the interesting thing, here. What has happened to overall calorie consumption?
