I'm currently using the binary from their GitHub repository (v1.64.2). The Proton Drive backend was added in 1.64.0.

 

It seems like when uploading pictures to Proton Drive via rclone instead of the web ui, the pictures' thumbnails never get generated. Has anybody found a way of triggering the thumbnail generation, without re-uploading everything?

You probably have missed stuff! When I started my second playthrough I couldn't believe how much more content there was. And I haven't even finished act 3 in either playthrough...

Cool, I hope this gets mass adopted, so that I can replace my RSS reader with my Mastodon account.

but I also think it empowers people like me who have the visual ideas but can use the help making them fully fleshed out

I totally get that. In fact, I feel similar because I often have ideas or concepts for visual art, but then I lack the drawing/painting skill to actually realize them (I try to improve, but I rarely find the time to practice). In that way, AI assistance could be seen as a tool to make expression via art more accessible to the masses (especially since not everybody can afford or has the resources to visit an art school).

I think my conflict comes mainly from the immense respect and admiration I have for people who are able to create powerful, realistic images from scratch (e.g. people like Martina Fačková). Maybe I just need to get used to it, I mean calculators exist and that's not a bad thing, because they make our lives easier.

A lot of our AI woes are reflections of questionable human behavior (racist chat models, AI for war, deepfakes and dishonesty).

I find it very interesting, because it poses the question of how much of this behavior is unintentionally woven into AI assisted images. When you look at artists like Martina Fačková, every little detail in her art is intentional and thereby it is also an expression of herself and her views on the world. But with AI art, while the broader composition and concept is intentional, a lot of the details are generated based on how the model is trained (of course you can decide whether you want to go with it or do another pass, in that sense it's maybe a little bit of self-expression still).

Interestingly, looking at your picture I can see bits and pieces of a war/apocalypse sceneries, e.g. the bird in the sky almost looks like a plane, the ruined buildings in the background (please note that this is not meant as criticism, just an observation). Now that I think of it, I'm also reminded of this captain america movie poster. Maybe the AI had some marvel movie posters in its training data ;-).

I'm a little bit conflicted honestly, because I'm not a fan of the idea of A.I. art, in general. But I also have to admit this result looks really good. Very cool character and perspective! I also like your take with him being a defender/carrying no weapon.

I think maybe it needs some more work in the surroundings, because some of the buildings don't make sense (missing walls e.g. around his shield).

I've been using Gnome for multiple years now and I don't plan on switching. Also love GOA in general for the simplicity and ease of use.

However

I wish there was a generic WebDAV/caldav account type. I know you can integrate those using evolution, but why the extra steps? It seems like such a no-brainer considering there is already Nextcloud integration in place.

Stimmt, hast Recht. War mir beim drüberscrollen nicht aufgefallen, weil das wegen Datenschutz Gedöns ausgeblendet war.

Du interpretierst da am falschen Ende was rein. Das ist nur ein Memetemplate, kein politisches Statement.

Ich würde auch nicht behaupten, dass OP hier bewusst ein politisches Statement machen will. Ich denke nur, dass manche Leute einfach nicht auf den Gedanken kommen, wie sowas aus einer anderen Perspektive heraus rüberkommt. Daher mein Kommentar.

Das Problem mit solchen "es ist nur ein Witz Bro" Aussagen ist halt auch, dass ich das quasi nicht widerlegen kann, außer indem ich den kompletten Witz auseinander nehme und interpretiere. Worauf dann wiederum oft als Antwort kommt "Du interpretierst zuviel rein". Ich kann also eigentlich nur verlieren.

Aber ich probiere es trotzdem mal:

Humor braucht halt erstmal eine Basis in der Realität, etwas von dem man ausgeht, dass der Leser/Anschauer(?) es kennt und als gegeben annimmt, so dass eine Erwartung entsteht. Der Humor entsteht dann dadurch, dass mit dieser Erwartung überraschend gebrochen wird.

Hier ist es also so, dass eine bestimmte Realität als gegeben angenommen wird (Frauen beschweren sich Männer hätten keine Gefühle) und der Witz ist dann diese angenommene Realität zu untergraben (doch wir haben Gefühle, aber nicht wegen eurem belanglosen Kram, sondern wegen unseren quirky Hobbies, wir sind einfach so deep, ihr versteht uns nur nicht). Das Problem hier ist nicht der Witz sondern wie die Realität (die dann untergraben wird) hier dargestellt wird. Der Witz funktioniert aber nur wenn man diese Realität als gegeben annimmt, damit die Punchline funktioniert muss man davon ausgehen, dass dieses Frauenbild der Realität entspricht oder zumindest einen realen Kern hat. Sonst würde es überhaupt keinen Sinn ergeben. Es sei denn es ist nochmal eine Layer Ironie darüber und in Wirklichkeit macht sich OP über genau dieses Frauenbild lustig, aber das fände ich schon arg weit hergeholt.

Memes wie ‘distracted boyfriend’ kommunizieren ja auch nicht, dass Männer alle geschlechtsgetriebene Fremdgeher sind.

Es geht nicht unbedingt darum was visuell dargestellt wird, sondern darum, welche Realität als gegeben wahrgenommen wird. Meiner Meinung nach ist das auch kein guter Vergleich, weil dieses Meme etwas anders funktioniert. Es nimmt die dargestellte Situation und verwendet sie als Metapher für etwas anderes. Damit der Humor funktioniert, muss man diese dargestellte Situation nicht unbedingt als tatsächliche Realität ansehen. Was bei dem obigen Beispiel anders ist.

Nicht, dass ich die Nostalgie für Kassetten nicht nachvollziehen könnte (auch ich habe seinerzeit mit dem Schraubenzieher raus gelaufene Bänder gefixt), aber als weibliche Person finde ich es etwas schwer solche Memes "relatable" zu finden. Das kommt für mich so rüber als wären Frauen seelenlose NPCs, die keine eigenen Interessen, Persönlichkeit oder irgendeinen Intellekt hätten und als würden Sie den ganzen Tag nur über Männer nachdenken.

You can deactivate this text in the settings. I did the same because the German translation has the same issue.

 

Is anybody aware of lemmy communities similar to r/dragonage on reddit?

What makes this subreddit stand out for me is the extensive discussion of the Dragon Age lore. It's is one of the few reasons I go back to reddit from time to time and I would love to find something similar on lemmy.

(I thought about creating a community myself, but I first wanted to make sure, that I haven't missed something that already exists.)

Not the most spectacular screenshot, but we have to start somewhere ;-).

This screenshot shows a captcha I got when trying to google something from the university network (around 2009).

Other apps shown in the taskbar:

  • Pidgin buddy list + conversation
  • XMMS (music player, similar to Winamp)
  • Azureus (a BitTorrent-Client)
  • Gnome terminal
 

I have had this issue with my jade plants for several years. All leaves develop a scaly texture after a while. New leaves regrow green and healthy. Some smaller leaves quickly turn silver and just fall off. All of my jade plants have this, but none of my other succulents seem affected. It also doesn't kill the plants, they are all several years old.

At first, I thought it might be sunburn since I have them under a grow light. But then the pattern on the larger leaves almost looks like something is eating through them. In addition, most images of sun burned jade plants I found online look a little bit different (the patches seem to be rounder and have a different texture).

Could this be some sort of fungal infection?

I found this old reddit thread which seems to be about the exact same issue. However, the OP never found the underlying cause.

 

I havn't had the time to test it out myself (yet), but so far this looks promising. There are still some issues, but I assume they will be sorted out eventually.

How far did you proceed and what language did you use?

I think the challenges a great way to learn a new programming language. Though I have to admit I never finished the set myself.

 

In this demonstration a client connects to a server, negotiates a TLS 1.3 session, sends "ping", receives "pong", and then terminates the session.
