Sorry, didn’t check back here for a few days. There absolutely can be German Shepherds!

These are the initial generations before upscaling/processing. Generated with Bifrost Project (SDXL model).

Here are a few more I made with Bifröst Project. It can handle generating in 1280x1024 which is pretty nice. I don’t really like the square format that much.

Glad you liked it. Here’s one more for the road!

No one expects the laser from the back.

They say war changes a man. I guess that goes for poodobots as well.

The messed up powerlines were annoying me, so here’s one more attempt.

Sure… It’s a bit hard to get pitbull, lab and robot to all come through clearly but I tried! (I also took it easy on you and didn’t make him too pitiful looking.) First image is the completed version, second one is the initial 1024x1024 generation.

Not bad, but he looks a bit too upbeat for this thread. Let me fix that for you.

edit: I did the other one for fun also.

He seems very helpful and willing to give you a hand.

Any requests? I can make various dog breeds, wolves, foxes, whatever it takes to completely extinguish the joy in your heart.

Bonus white Dobermann and Siberian Husky pup.

Feet are like hands we walk on. Right? Complete with a thumb and all!

It’s actually not that hard to start having them pretty frequently. I always had that same problem though: I’d realize I was dreaming, say “Wow, I’m actually dreaming and aware of it. This is amaz-” and wake up. There are supposedly tricks you can use to prevent yourself from waking up like spinning around, but it didn’t seem to help even when I remembered to try in the dream.

You can make them more frequent by just thinking to yourself “Am I dreaming?” and checking if you are a bunch of times a day. 5-6 is probably enough. Keep that up for a few weeks and you’ll probably start having frequent lucid dreams. I read that lucid dreams aren’t really that restful compared to normal sleep though, so don’t try to induce them unless you can spare the sleep time.

Ahh, I hate Snap so much. It actually what drove me to switch to Arch (btw). It was just so annoying going to install something and having it try to pull in snap and all its dependencies… And of course, if you don’t want Snap you have to deal with the inconvenience of finding another way to install the app.

There are reasons to dislike Snap on principle and also very practical reasons. It liked randomly preventing the system from shutting down. Installing a new OS on a slow or unreliable internet connection and want a browser? How about we install Snap and then tell to download that thing and maybe a bunch of random internal dependencies with no visible progress and unreliable error handling? Get it away from me.

One of these is true:

1. Your account was hacked…
2. You have a serious memory issue.
3. Saying hateful, rude stuff is something you do so commonly you can’t even keep track of the instances.

Pretty much all of those are problems that you should deal with.

As sad as it is to say, “in general” no product is. Some stuff is worse than average like cocoa and child slave labor or meat/eggs/dairy and cruelty death for animals but overall unless there’s really visible evidence showing a product was produced ethically (or more ethically), then it probably wasn’t. After all, if the business selling the item could brag about it, they would.

Letting them know what mankind is all about seems like a terrible idea. We’re jerks.

This is great. Although…

when you see something that sucks, you know exactly how to fix it.

I wish! “Fix” is wayyyy too optimistic.But maybe, just maybe, I could make it suck a tiny bit less. Still left with utter garbage, of course. Okay, well didn’t you just say you could make it suck a tiny bit less? So do it again. And again, and…

And it jumped on the man and scratched him all to pieces!

I do like a happy ending. The jerk had it coming. Hopefully the dogs were okay though.

Could a feeling or emotion be more fascinating than fascination?

I have a 16 gallon shopvac I bought… about 15 years ago, maybe more. Honestly, I think that’s the way to go. They can handle wet, dry stuff, huge capacity, really powerful, simple system. Not even expensive compared to normal vacuums.

If you have a husky/husky mix, good luck with bags. You will need about 1 billion per year.

Get people to fund their own smear campaign? Creative!
