An applause-worthy Mac-user diss thrown at me from Linux diehard @pfcoperez that so good, my mind kept revisiting it the whole day.

A friend is visiting from out of town this month. I’m looking forward to showing all of the TikToks I’ve sent to him that he hasn’t watched. 😆

AI-based upscaling is interesting...it's not so much the upscaling you'd expect as more like..."based on this, reimagine it as something at this resolution".

Misc. details can change, but the overall "feel" mostly remains the same.

e.g. based on a prompt from https://stable-diffusion-art.com/sdxl-prompts/, I upscaled the first image I got, and in the upscaled version, the subject has a completely different blouse, eye colour, different necklace, etc. Still, you can't deny the images are related.

In the year+ since Dobbs, nearly everything that Team "You're Overreacting" said would never happen has happened. It's almost like they were never arguing in good faith. Weird.

As retired military it ticks me off that the GOP won’t promote people that earned it.
And most importantly it’s detrimental to our national security.

I wish Gran Turismo had proper offline, single-player racing. With a much cleverer AI, a real qualifying session, simulating the whole race weekend.

As it is, you always start last on the grid and it's basically a catch-the-leader type of game: you have to show up with a massively over-powered car, just so you can eventually catch the race leader in time for the race to end 🙄

The little tug. Yes, I have a thing with old vehicles and means of transportation. Modern ships looks boring to me. There is something lovable on the wooden cabins and riveted plates. And I super love tugboats. The little heavy workers of the marine world. This one was made a couple of years ago in #Procreate #drawing #illustration #digitalart #digitalpaint #mastoart #mastodoart #mastoartist #ship #tugboat #sea #digitaldrawing #steam

Attachments:

• Drawing of a small tugboat where you can see both over and underwater parts. It is an old style boat, with riveted metal plates, dark red underwater and dark gray over water. The gunwale is white. It has a wooden light red cabin with a white painted iron frame and a white wood bridge cabin above it, that you can access thanks to an iron stair. A black and yellow chimney behind the bridge. A small mast over the bridge cabin supports a radio rig. A small crane with a little boat is behind the cabin. The submerged part cast a soft shadow on the turquoise water. (remote)
• The boat described in the first image, but part of the hull has been cut-out so you can see the inners of the ship. From top to bottom: The bridge, with the wheel and the command semaphore, walls panels are mustard yellow. The cabin, with a table, a red padded wall seat, overhead storage, a coal kitchen with a shelve for spices and condiments and some cooking tools. A petrol lamp enlights the scene. Same mustard wood panels. The hold area, right to left, contains storage, with packages, spare parts and crates. A workshop with a wooden table, a vice, buckets and tools and boxes. A metal stair to access the level, and the engine controls. The boiler, with exhaust pipes that goes up to the chimney. Finally, a triple expansion steam engine that powers the propeller, thanks to a gear box. At the bottom of the hull you can find the coal storage. And this is my largest ALT text since I opened my mastodon account. Oh my… (remote)

@NfNitLoop took a look at anyhow and at thiserror & they seem nicely done. I'm trying to be disciplined & finish working my way through the official "Rust Book" (only 11 more chapters to go, yay) before I get too deep into other materials, *and* this looks really useful for "real use" code. tnx
