  • Do you send Valentines day gifts to anyone other than your significant other/partner/spouse?

    Jump

  • Not even to my SO. Quite some time ago we discussed it and agreed that we won't be giving gifts for "celebratory dates" (i.e. Valentine's, Christmas, birthdays). We instead give each other gifts at any point in time, just because we felt like it. No pressure for buying gifts in advance and instead we get very usual "Hey I saw this and thought of you" all year long.

  • Do you use LinkedIn? Is it worth it?

    Jump

  • I do, but just because of my job. Everytime I've needed/wanted to start searching, LinkedIn's where all of my jobs (previous and current) have come from. It's the only account I've got left with my real name on it, so I'd get rid of it if I could but I don't know how long I have before I need to start searching for a new job, so I just leave it there unused. The platform itself sucks and is full of circle-jerking and "self-made" people bragging, so I don't engage with it at all other than for job seeking purposes. Also, I'm in IT so my experience with the platform is very particular to my field. Not everyone has good results with LinkedIn.

  • Agree to disagree. Thanks for being civil. Best of luck with your newborn.

  • Yeah, I agree. The post isn't about GenAI but we can't engage with the content because we're still having a moral discussion on how the content was created.

  • When the ad hominem attacks start, it's time to drop it. Than you for the civil discussion while it lasted.

  • You moved the goal post. I thought the problem was using other things as references for the creation process.

  • But if I write a novel, am I not also taking into account every novel I've ever read? Can you draw something without first looking at other drawings?

  • A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you

    Jump

  • Ok, that makes sense. So what constitutes art? Is any kind of graphical depiction art? Are we banning computers from making drawings? Or just AI? How different is it from using the drawing tools in MS Paint to help me achieve a nice rectangle or a perfect circle? Something I would be unable to do by free hand drawing.

  • Before going into the art part of your comment, in curious, why is being lazy an undesirable thing? What constitutes lazy? At which point does one stop "being lazy" and become "just using the available tools"? Is writing in a computer and then printing it just laziness as opposed to writing it by hand? What if instead of using a pencil I use a raw graphite piece? Is using a pencil lazy? Or is it something else we're criticising here? Are we mad at the lack of creative effort? How effortless can something be before it becomes worthless?

  • But then we have a problem with AI's process, not the underlying technology. What I mean to say is, if I were to train and run my own model in an isolated local computer, using ethically sourced* training material, then would it still be bad? Like, are we mad at the means needed to make the technology work or simply at the technology? Because if it's the former, then we can do something about it. Agriculture is a hell of a technology, but there are very detrimental ways to apply it.

    *Let's gloss over what ethically sourced really means for the sake of discussion.

  • That seems a very narrow and binary perspective. There's no room for nuance, it's simply "AI is bad and we won't talk further about it".

  • So if I'm understanding correctly, the vox populi is that any AI-generated image is automatically bad/slop/misuse? Are we satanizing AI now?

  • Yunohost, the *arr stack and VPN

    Jump

  • I've actually had to deal with this very recently. My setup is via docker-compose and the way to solve it was to have an OpenVPN container with its own network defined. Then, in the same compose file I'd put qbittorrent in the same network as the VPN. That way all of the services go through my normal network but qbittorrent can only go through the VPN's network.

  • If you're really interested in a constructive discussion you should start by stating what did you not like of the post and why.

  • I see a lot of comments dismissing the information because of it use of AI for the graphics. Would it have been received better if the post was simply a list of bullet points? I couldn't do graphics if my life depended on it, but I still feel this presentation is easier to digest and process than it'd be if it was plain text, so I'd probably go the same route of using AI to better convey what I'm trying to.
