I agree with those that say Inkscape, it’s where I’ve designed all my logos. However, I’ve been tempted to try using FreeCAD to do it lately. I’m not sure if it can export as SVG, but the thought of have a proper parametric tool for designing logos sounds up my ally. I tend to try to treat Inkscape like one, by liberal use of construction lines, but at the end of the day, it really doesn’t like being that precise.

Yeah, the genie is out of the bottle on this one. I can do voice cloning with consumer hardware and available models. That can’t be undone, but good legal protections would be nice.

That said, the Johanson case is a bad example because it really didn’t sound much like her at all. It was a chipper yound white lady sound, but to my ear sounded nothing like Johanson. It did sound kinda like a character she voiced, but I would not gave confused the two. They cloned the voice of someone they paid to give a similar inflection as the voice from Her. That’s far removed from cloning Johanson herself. It is closer to people making music “in the style of”.

I’ve experience it a few times in VR. For a few fleeting seconds, my world is the world being projected onto my eyes. It rarely lasts long, but it is mind bending.

I’ve been using and reasonably satisfied with A.R.M. https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

It uses MakeMKV and Handbrake, but streamlines the whole process.

Reminds me of StumbleUpon. An old way of sharing and finding content.

I also think people discount the power of advertising when they think Facebook or Amazon is listening to them. They don’t think that maybe why they were talking about xyz was because they saw an ad for it. Then they saw another ad for it after they talked about it and got confused on cause and effect.

I don’t see it as a status symbol, although I’m certain that is a huge part of it for a lot of people, but fashion part is right. Cars have design styles, motifs, and trends. I don’t know the names for most of them, but I can normally place a car in a 3 year range on sight. Make and model are also often very obvious through those same features, even across a larger number of years, slowly transitioning from one "age’ of car design to another. I’m not a car person, but I am, in weird ways, a design nerd.

I really should be able to use fan speed as an input. “Block intake to pickup”.

I don’t know, but I’m a big fan of cowboy and mafia planets.

Well, in the case of Ender’s Game, that was the point. Trick kids into thinking they were playing a game and they wouldn’t think twice about being as brutal as necessary to win. So if your goal is to have cars murder people, having people control them with their dreams is a pretty good idea.

I’m not diagreeing with that. Although it could be useful, I often forget where I saved things, and something that let’s my search my worn history would be rad, but there’s zero chance this won’t be abused by a large list of people, including but not limited to Microsoft, spouses, bosses, malware, governments, every random application, Facebook, and Microsoft.

Shadow copy is a completely different thing. Shadow copy creates snapshots(used for version history, among other uses) of files. Recall is a screen recording software, that includes OCR and maybe some AI stuff. At this time, at least, it too is all local. It just isn’t secure in the least.

This wouldn’t be a tool for wireshark. It could be a tool for the browser dev tools though. With it you can see every time a website tries to make a connection out, what data is submitted, and what the response is. Unfortunately, if you don’t understand how http works, it might be all Greek.

Generate images with self hosted models, or integrate it with art programs? Because yes to both.

Hopefully this time NC’s gridscale battery factory wont go bankrupt when the Russian oligarchs founders take the money and run. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article167970747.html

In this case the person you were responding to was right. It is where they put their news and weather widget. Which only exists to push people onto Bing. It is annoying, and by default pops up on rollover, not click, so it is trivially easy to accidentally pull up, pumping those Bing engagement numbers.

It took me a second to understand your picture, because for some reason, which I have just now realized, I always pictured the left on the right side of the drawn graph, and the right on the left. I have no idea why my mind drew the spectrum that way, but I had literally never questioned it until I saw your picture and thought it was backwards and realized I am the one who was backwards.

Congress. Impeachment isn’t a judgicial function.

I got an ad like the a month ago, made me start looking at alternatives. I haven’t found one besides Apple TV that supports all the streaming services, is made for a TV, and doesn’t have worse ads. I could handle content ads for streaming services I didn’t have, but just straight TV commercials on my hopepage? Get fucked Google.

As a LightBurn user and license holder, this is annoying, but I could see this being a good thing in the long run. Right now, there is very little opensource alternative to LightBurn. As of today, there is a much stronger incentive to make it happen. I’m hopeful this spurs on a modern tool in the open source community that works as an alternative. What LightBurn might have done is save them selves some support overhead and created competition. We’ll see how that works out for them.
