I don’t mind people making and sharing AI pictures for fun, but if you sell those pictures, that’s kinda cringe tbh.

I actually do have glasses, I just never bothered learning about any of the technical details behind my lenses. Optometrist measured my eyes, I chose the cheapest frame the store offered, came back a week later to pick up the glasses and that’s about it.

yes, it’s that.

Does anyone have this picture without the text? Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty funny with the toot, but I feel like it would also be funny without.

This post reminds me of those “attack helicopter” jokes from 2016, except this time it’s actually funny and not hurtful

It’s true what you say about volatility. It’s not just the internet, it’s everything digital, even offline storage.

A few months ago I was about to sell/give away a bunch of old childrens books that I had, my reasoning being that I will never want to read them again, and even if did want to for whatever reason, I could always find ebook versions of them.

Ultimately I decided to keep the books – what if, sometime in the future, I wanted to share these books with my (potential) children? Would all of these books have been preserved in digital form? Would I rather be giving my children a physical copy that I owned and read personally, or emailing a PDF? Physical media holds real value.

I’ve seen some niche bands release (free) official torrents of their music on a certain piracy website. It’s kind of surreal. Just goes to show that piracy is and always has been about sharing culture

The trick is to give up and just shuttle files from computer to printer via usb stick

You can lock your password database with a key file (this is a standard feature in keepassxc) and transfer the key file once between devices via sneakernet (microsd or usb drive). That way even if someone intercepts your database file, AND knows your password, it is still virtually impossible to crack. Should be a good enough solution, unless you are quantum-tier paranoid

Marginally better than using discord itself as your password manager (also a true story!)
