Maybe it’s both…

that brownie has a 1000% chance of being the strongest concentration of edible THC you’ve ever felt in your goddamn life

Im not OP, but I’m 95% sure those commands are specific to the midjourney discord bot. I don’t know if Bing passes command args like the discord bot does or if it just ignores them. Worth doing some experimentation though

–ar = aspect ratio
16:9 defines said aspect ratio of width:height (16:9 is standard computer monitor widescreen)

–s is “stylize” which controls the realism passes.
A lower value gives realistic images while higher values generates more cartoons, outlandish, “trippy” kinda images (75 is a very low value)

Timd to update your criteria, friend. Seagate hasn’t been top of the failure stack for like 8 years now. The 3TB scandal era is long since passed. Now it’s WD who has been shitting on quality control, sending out faulty SSD’s that wipe user data, bait-and-switching HDD customers with a cheaper, much worse performing technology (SMR) WITHOUT TELLING THEM, them basically blowing corporate raspberries at everyone when people complain.

While i agree they were the best, HGST also hasn’t even existed as a non-WD product for years…

the lead will be perfectly safe until someone crushes them up into a bunch of powder with a front loader, and then dumps in the nearest unsealed landfill

also lead mining/production is not waste free in of itself

Recommends Installing Linux

*through Windows

You’re helping the planet too. The most environmentally friendly appliance in the world is the one that’s already built!

I pirate damn near every piece of media I consume.

I also have my automatic 401k contributions at work cranked up to like 15%. I never see the money in my bank account so I don’t even think about it and force myself to fit into a smaller budget- which is the best way to save.

Oh great here they come again to defend themselves, good job

To answer your question, NO, they are not. Stupid and completely lacking in historical, economic, or political nuance? Yes, but that’s a separate problem and not “conservative” in the slightest.

With the preface of “cheap”, do not ever buy a laptop under $500. They are simply underspecced by the time they get that low, and will give a bad experience.

I would also recommend something like a Lenovo ThinkPad, they are pretty damn tough. Maybe a ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 Intel. Spec it out to 16gb of memory and even the i3 processor will get your job done fine in Linux, while landing in under $650. Plus they have removable M.2 SSD’s that can be changed out for a higher capacity very easily, and much much cheaper than the $300 they charge to kit it with a 1tb drive…

He hates bots*

*that don’t agree with his fascism, or don’t make him money

but if your home is uninhabitable, insurance should pay for any accomodations while you are waiting for your home to be fixed.

Bold of you to assume that any insurance company will keep operating in wildfire interface areas within the next 5 years. They’ve already been cancelling tens of thousands of policies in California over it and it’s coming to your area next.

Reminder that insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying out coverage. They will fuck you over at a moment’s notice no matter how long you’ve paid into their system.

I always hate the auto greeting and avoid the one McDonalds near me that uses it. 90% of the time it finishes with “we are ready to take your order!” But everyone on the other end is busy because theyre understaffed, and won’t actually take your order if you just blurt it out and then you gotta restart anyway.

!privacyguides@lemmy.one is also a good resource, it’s the technical successor to privacy guides on Reddit.

Yayyyyyy American puritanism!

so if they’re not stupid enough to drive a huge part of their userbase away from their shithole to sites like lemmy and turn into digg 2.0

HAHAHAHAHHA oh man that’s funny

That’s the point.

Advertisers hate porn. Anything that’s not safe and broad-appeal is bad for their image.

I was already entertaining the idea of a Lemmy switch after they announced the imminent death of my beloved RiF. Lemmy was mentioned many many times in the 3rd party app threads discussing the api changes.

They went ahead and hastened my transition by permabanning me (and two of my alts) for “report abuse” since I dared to regularly report all the obvious spam bots that filled so many subs. Meh. I could have made more alts but really just didn’t give a fuck at that point. Sure hope Spez’s pedo ass enjoys his already failing IPO.

Complete in only a year? I’ve never heard of doctorate programs running less than 2 to 3 years in the engineering world.

Still, it sounds like you’ve done the necessary planning and have a career path lined out for it. If that’s the case, fuck it. Go for it.
