so if he trained the model himself, would that make the work copyrightable?

I think if he “trained” the model on art he himself created you might have an argument.

My hobby > The children

The reddit community will up vote them, and even down vote people who try correcting them.

Yeap… Especially with any topic where there’s a big hobbyist community.

I work in orthotics and prosthetics for a university hospital as both an educator and a healthcare provider. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been down voted by 3d printer enthusiasts for critiquing untrained and uneducated people fitting children with medical devices that can severely injure or debilitate them.

It’s actually a wetlands/swamp that stretches from Norfolk into north Carolina. Most people don’t really realize that most of the area south of the Mid-Atlantic coast was at one point all swamp/marsh. The Great dismal swamp was nearly 3 times as large only a couple hundred years ago.

suggest looking into cooking with cast iron skillets. There are tons of great and simple foods you can make with couple of inexpensive cast iron pans.

I have several cast iron pans, and I cook with them regularly. That being said, cast iron is more expensive, more time consuming, and requires more skill to cook with than a set of cheap non-stick.

Just like with most higher quality tools, there’s just a steeper learning curve to cast iron than what I think op is really looking for.

The same is kinda true for cooking with a wok, unless you have a pretty high output gas range, a wok isn’t really going to function as intended. Woks need to be heated enough to where you are basically flash frying your ingredients. If not the oil just soaks into your food, making everything soggy with oil.

I think you may be underestimating your abilities in the kitchen, and maybe overestimating op’s. Though i think that’s fairly common nowadays. I find that most people under 40 are either very proficient or very lost in the kitchen, not a lot in-between.

Yeap, most people are gonna be fine with regular chlorinated tap water as long as they let us sit for a while. People having problems with their starters because of tap water is due to their municipality using chloramine instead of chlorine. It’s not as volatile as chlorine, so it can stick around in unaerated water for days.

My mom always made a rice porridge with a ground up Korean pear in it for the sugar in her starter. Makes the paste really thick and sticky so it coats really well. I think it also gives the kimchi a bit of a kick, but I think my family likes stronger fermentation than most people.

I’ve made kimchi before, but under the supervision of my mom. So I’m not exactly an expert.

To me it looks like your kimchi is too watery. After looking at the recipe I think I may know why. This is a vegan recipe, traditional kimchi not only has fish sauce, but it also has quite a bit of fermented shrimp brine.

It doesn’t look like the recipe you linked has enough salt in the actual spice mix, traditional kimchi gets this from the shrimp. If you don’t have enough salt, the marinade won’t fully saturate the cabbage.

If you are trying to do a traditional vegan recipe I would suggest just doing This but substituting salt for the shrimp, and something like tamari or something with umami for the fish sauce.

I actually don’t know if I would use that recipe, it seems low on both sugar and salt for preservation.

Man, odd stuff always happens when the programming team hangs out with the boys in marketing.

And art should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. There’s a reason that piracy almost died out completely and then came back with a vengeance. People don’t mind paying a reasonable price for art, the prices and accessibility of art has just become unfeasible.

Your views are completely ignorant to what the entire point of the fediverse even is.

I think you are missing his point, that the fediverse in large parts is failing to live up to its own aspirations. Yes, of course the people who gravitated to the fediverse expect more independence and self organization, but I think people also expected some semblance of cooperation and community.

It feels like instead of having one large empire ruled by an emperor, we’re instead in a divided land ruled by hundreds of kings. The abuses are the same, but more localized.

Yes you can move on to the next realm once you make an enemy of some minor tyrant, but this also forces people to be more transient. Which isn’t amicable to creating a long lasting community with lots of engagement.

Reddit has it’s problems, everyone here already knows that. But, that shouldn’t prevent us from engaging in self criticism about the fediverse. A system that can’t be criticized is a system doomed to stagnation.
