Well, to be fair, their original Harry Kim is dead, making the current one the newest member of the crew until 7 of 9 shows up.

And for all we know, the ship records may still show him as dead, therefore unpromotable...

I'd have loved something like that.

I'd personally have liked them to have not let that go, and have a whole character arc with Harry struggling with the knowledge that none of them are the same people he knew, though they act identically, differentiating between things he did and the original and so on...

Resetting back to status quo after events that should have had a lasting impact is one of these things that bothers me in Voyager.

How Many Star Trek Episodes Pass the Bechdel Test? (TOS to ENT) | The Mary Sue (www.themarysue.com)

I found this after reading and responding to this post here about early Trek fans’ prejudicial negative reaction to TNG. One of my responses (see here) was to point out that any fans of the progressiveness of Trek ought to have been mindful of the room for improvement over TOS, with female representation being an obvious...

Well, you know, thinking about it, an awful lot of Kes's life revolves around Neelix and the Doctor, with occasional training by Tuvok. I suspect a lot of her dialogue was about one of the three...

Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt (decrypt.co)

Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski’s style...

Generally speaking, the way training works is this:
You put together a folder of pictures, all the same size. It would've been 1024x1024 in this case. Other models have used 768z768 or 512x512. For every picture, you also have a text file with a description.

The training software takes a picture, slices it into squares, generates a square the same size of random noise, then trains on how to change that noise into that square. It associates that training with tokens from the description that went with that picture. And it keeps doing this.

Then later, when someone types a prompt into the software, it tokenizes it, generates more random noise, and uses the denoising methods associated with the tokens you typed in. The pictures in the folder aren't actually kept by it anywhere.

From the side of the person doing the training, it's just put together the pictures and descriptions, set some settings, and let the training software do its work, though.

(No money involved in this one. One person trained it and plopped it on a website where people can download loras for free...)

Yeah, and I love the original as well, which has a great music video.

I've also pretty fond of the music video for George Harrison's "This Song"...

There have definitely been some issues with posts on other instances that are marked as nfsw on their instance not showing up as nsfw here, too. Though it's been a bit, so I don't know for sure if that's still an issue.

@SweetAIBelle quick question, how come the kbin social MLP mag cannot be interacted with from lemmy instances?

It seems other lemmy mags can, but when I try to find the MLP mag from within my home lemmy instance (pawb social) it just doesn't seem to be visible.

SweetAIBelle,
SweetAIBelle avatar

@vinesnfluff Honestly, probably some sort of hiccup between the instances. I see about 19 magazines on pawb.social from kbin.social, and that seems like maybe half of them when I actually go over there. Doesn't include the mlp one, either.

They are theoretically compatible, but early days on both, and all the instances have far more people then they were ready for. I wouldn't be totally surprised if they were both just backed up...

The Owl House. Though, given that it was cancelled and season 3 compressed to three double length episodes, I'd make the extra season a replacement season 3, and rework those episodes into part of the new season. There were definitely montages in those episodes where you could feel them practically saying "and here's several episodes we could have written, if we had time".

(Not to mention the infamous dialog about "maybe if we had time for 20 more adventures" near the end of season 2...)

SweetAIBelle,

Definitely!

Usually I wait until the details have faded enough that I don't remember all the twists and turns. Rereading a book does mean you won't be particularly surprised, unless you really don't remember the book well, but you can also pay attention to things you might not have focused on before, and sit back and enjoy the author's writing style.

If you're installing Arch, one trick the installation wiki article doesn't tell you:
If you type "archinstall", it has a command line installer there that'll do the install for you, and lets you pick from several desktop environments as well. I've had it crash before more than once, so it's not perfect, but it's less of a pain then doing it all by hand...

But at what cost?

In some cases, literally mastodon content. If you are on mastadon and you put @magazine in your post, it shows up on that magazines microblog, on kbin, at least.

I could easily listen to a lot of their songs on repeat, so I'm with you there!

I do find the video pretty enjoyable, though the song would still be stuck in my head either way. :P

The official one would be:

Even if you are going to use a different emulator, buying it there gives you legal copies of the Kickstarter roms and such for them...

Amiga International gave them the rights to sell it, basically. It's on wikipedia and other places, so I'm pretty sure it's legit, though there's something with another company also owning some of the rights... (And an alternative, mostly compatible OS called AROS.)

They are giving you WinUAE behind a frontend. Most, but not all amiga emulators are in some way descended from UAE, and a lot of people use WinUAE or FS-UAE, which is apparently easier to use. (Or running on a Raspberry PI, you might want something more specialized for that.)

Don't necessarily know the most about it, though. I watched a few videos, got a copy, had a fun time emulating an Amiga for a bit, then got sidetracked, and didn't quite get back to it...

The section that says "Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income,
employment, education, political party, and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online." kinda sticks out to me, too.

Yeah. While a lot of people only associate him with "She Blinded Me With Science", while I do like that song, there are multiple songs of his I like more.

And people have heard more that he's worked on then they realize, too. He worked on several movies soundtracks, including "Howard the Duck", and "Ferngully: The Last Rainforest". The song "Howard the Duck" had three names credited as writers, but his was one of them. And in Ferngully, he's credited as writing "Life Is a Magic Thing", "Batty Rap", and "Toxic Love". And I've listened to the last two of those a million times...

Hi there!

Yep, joined kbin and noticed it didn't have a local my little pony magazine, so I made one...

I noticed those posts have in them, so I'm thinking it might be grabbing anything with a hashtag with the name of the server. Not absolutely sure, but we can always experiment and see!
