Used to be “Squabbles”. It, Lemmy, and Discuit were three of the major Reddit alternatives thrown around during the Reddit protests.

If the refrigerant on my fridge leaked and they refused to fix it, I’d sure swear off their ACs too, yeah.

ASUS annihilated the possibility I’d ever buy any ASUS product after the way they handled the 7800X3D/AM5 VoC issue. I had never really noticed, but a pretty big swathe of my tech came from them (laptop, monitor, and motherboard among others) but no more.

I remember idly wondering how DMs worked in Lemmy, and I was kinda shocked when I realized they aren’t secure.

101st Airborne has been issued new M4A1’s since 2012, and the Army has been converting M4s to M4A1s since 2014.

It might could work in a pinch, especially if they used the ARs as squad marksman rifles? I just doubt its the kind of compromise Ukraine wants to make for its front-line equipment.

Real issue is actually going to be a (lack of) full auto. Sincerely doubt anything in these pics is an MG. Even if Ukraine fabricates automatic components (drop-in-auto-sears do exist for ARs), the barrels aren’t going to hold up to automatic fire well.

They might be useful in a police/border guard/militia capacity, though?

I’ve only found that true for days I am prompting without a specific image in mind. The second something specific gets in my head, and even hours of fiddling and tweaking prompts won’t get the result that satisfies me (though I might get a bunch of cool tangential output along the way).

I mean, if it’s some attempt at a passion project I guess it could be? But I’m usually just letting my GPU churn out cool wallpapers or character art in the background while I watch YouTube. There’s no real soul going into it, but I’m not pretending to put in any, either.

I’ve always explained it like this:

Every time you press that button, you’ll get an image. Maybe even a really good image. But it will never be the image you had in mind.

The only way I can see to do it is either stripping long-standing free functionality from other users, or making it completely pointless.

r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.

It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.

This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.

This has been a thing for every major modern version. Its faster for a single enterprising dev to backport things than for the entire mod scene to update to a new version. I distinctly remember playing Blackgear’s Caves and Cliffs Backport on 1.16.

There are, however, Forge/Fabric mods that completely remove the reporting system.
