People post #fanart made with #ai to #twitter and get thousands of followers then thousands of supporters on #Patreon. When I post my #AiArt all I get is either hate or crickets. I dropped using Ai Art Generator experiments because of all the hate I'm getting and my Ai generated artworks were all based on my own 3D renderings and using my own database.
@keremgo time to grow thicker skin then. ;) Better yet, get off mainstream social media because it's full of clueless idiots, and sometimes directed by clueless idiots too. AI pic generators are just a tool and not using them because some doorstop told you so seems wrong.
@keremgo It's a matter of time when ai generators get sufficiently good and efficient. 3D graphics software used to be the same - slow, inefficient, requiring extreme (for the times) hardware power. As for flexibility, I found it (Stable Diffusion) good as a part of toolchain, not complete tool, but yeah, if you're used to 3D modelling then it's not going to cut it anyway, even if you use ControlNet.
Even #VivaldiBrowser didn't escape the UI enshittification trend with huge UI elements and large empty spaces between them. At least they gave option to bring the old UI back.
By now it's probably mostly forgotten fact, but if you're in for some 16-color 32x32 .ICO nostalgia, the Moricons.dll is still available even in Windows 10 (not sure about 11). Look for it at %SystemRoot%\System32\moricons.dll. #retrocomputing#msdos#windows3x#windows
EDIT: @SkySorcerer confirmed it's present also on Win11
You know what would be cool? Having private notes on #Mastodon profiles. That way when I block someone, a year from now on I could quickly recall why I blocked someone.
What computer will still be able to run in 100 years? I mean, if the chip factories stopped churnin out chips and we had to get by with the current stock, is there any limiting factor?
This is your friendly reminder that I make and sell delightful miniature retrocomputers like TRS-80s, Osborne Ones, and the occasional big friends like Connection Machines and Crays.
I'm a retired nerd who's living the dream. Well, if your dream is working in your garage on tiny art machines. 😺 ⚙️ #retrocomputing#miniatures#trs80#cray#shamelessSelfPromotion https://store.transmutable.com/
