It is hard to imagine how poor the world was with such feudal landlocked islands.

Invisibly; by trying to post in it and encourage others to do so. There is not much management to do with such a small community. The majority of regular users watch the All feed, so subscriptions are really just a way to bookmark the community to post in it or find it more easily. For smaller or new communities, expect it to be more like your personal blog as it is unlikely to be something others will post in regularly. The majority of communities that are hourly-active were made prior to the rexodus of June 2023, or within a few weeks thereafter.

Unless you’re in a very controversial space, actively micromanaging a community is likely an issue with the mod not the community IMO. The admins take care of the majority of wack-a-mole nonsense here.

I don’t trust AliEx any more after I took the loss of 3 orders for ~$60 in 2020. When I called, they hung up on me at random every time. After the 3rd try I washed my hands and walked away. Stealing from me once is on them, twice would be my own fault. Prior to that experience I spent a few thousand dollars on the platform for odds and ends.

I expect something like this to be an emulator and nowhere near the quality of a real Nintendo product, but I could be wrong. I would buy used or a homebrew project that is well documented and might cost a little more.

It has a lot of potential if the T5 can be made conversational. After diving into a custom DPM adaptive sampler, there is a lot more specificity required. I believe the vast majority of people are not using the model with the correct workflow. Applying the old model workflows to SD3 makes garbage results. The 2 CLIPS models and the T5 need separate prompts, and the negative prompt needs an inverted channel with a slight delay before reintegration. I also think the smaller quantized version of the T5 is likely the primary problem overall. Any Transformer text model that small, that is them quantized to extremely small size is problematic.

The license is garbage. The company is toxic. But the tool is more complex than most of the community seems to understand. I can generate a woman lying on grass in many intentional and iterative ways.

It follows the first to market principal in many of the most active communities, and it is the most federated instance. Many instances that are not federated with each other are federated with .ml. You still won’t see those comments between instances. Like from my main account here on .world, I can’t see hexibear or beehaw stuff, but from my .ml account I can see them. I have accounts on many instances in order to help federate new communities and to check biases/instance behaviors.

I came over a few days before the rexodus and subscribed to the active communities before the influx. That sub list is still centered around the most active communities, and the majority of those are from .ml and before I joined Lemmy.

Instances all have different flavors. I don’t like using my .ml account as a main. I’ve tried it. But I find they are the center of the most interesting and productive conversations for a more broad audience, while Beehaw has the most positive and friendly conversations overall. The main benefit to .world is the speed of connectivity, general audience scope, but with a strong anti asshat policy.

The .ml instance is run by the developers. If it isn’t well configured we would have no reason to be here.

Not sure. There was some controversy with some of the devs making alt front ends and admins complaining about the slowness. I’ve seen mention of one of the two devs learning Rust just to participate. So it is not entirely a walled garden. The front end devs wanted to make an alt from scratch but in something like JavaScript although I don’t recall the details exactly. There were a lot of red flags related to privacy and understanding the community at large in the posts I saw from them. When asked why they weren’t adding pull requests with Rust in order to address their complaints I got no reply.

All that said, I’m no dev. I can read in to around half the code I come across if I really try, and can successfully modify maybe half of that if I spend a few days on it, but I suck at clever code and the DRY cult types. I haven’t tried to look into Lemmy in any depth beyond figuring out the basics.

The Lemmy algorithm:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

The instances communicate between each other using special bots in the background that transport info between instances. Dot world is too big and makes too many requests to other instances. Most instances are reducing the number of transport bots back to dot world right now. There is supposed to be a fix in the next Lemmy version, but the code base is somewhat slow moving due to only two devs and it is written in Rust. Rust is a hard language like C, and not too many here are able to contribute to it, even though it is like the new gold standard of code.

So you might see a delay between posting and replies or the interaction may come in bursts that correspond with the transport bots carrying content between instances as the host admin have configured their instance.

Have you ever wondered how life might be different if we kept 2 times, a local solar time for the things that do not matter and an official or coordinated time?

I’m disabled, and have little reason to keep coordinated time, so I’m biased. I’ve thought about trying true solar time as solar noon is not well coordinated with my time zone.

I find the periodicity of noon has a psychological impact on my circadian rhythm that I do not care to bend myself to fit like a slave to a train schedule, but I might appreciate a compromise of bending time to fit my rhythm against the natural Solar cycle.

ComfyUI is an extremely popular graphical user interface for Stable Diffusion that’s shared freely on Github, making it easier for users to generate images and modify their image generation models. ComfyUI_LLMVISION, the extension that was compromised to hack users, is a ComfyUI extension that allowed users to integrate large language models GPT-4 and Claude 3 into the same interface.

That is likely a small group of people. I have never used proprietary AI and never plan to do so. A feature to run these is already a stalkerware corporate hack IMO.

Comparing hardware is for fools. It assumes a static codebase. Steam is actively developed. The only hardware worth purchasing is that which is supported by the developers directly.

Fried rice at its simplest is basically eggs, rice, and some soy sauce.

Good fried rice is:

• garlic
• ginger
• onion
• green onion
• carrot
• (^ sautéed )
• left over veggies (broccoli stalks etc.)
• bag of frozen peas
• (^added then all off loaded into a bowl)
• eggs scrambled in wok
• rice
• sugar
• soy sauce
• oyster sauce
• fish sauce
• optional left over chicken or shrimp
• add everything else from the bowl into the rice

Finally after making all of that, top it with a 40:40:10:10 mix of Mayo, Teriyaki sauce, Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce after it is plated.

That mix is good enough for me to eat almost every day.

It is a simple problem to solve. Quit watching their ads, tuning into their media, and playing their games no matter what they put out. Get online and say so. The internet is scraped and making such comments will be found. A bad game review is a win for those making these decisions. It shows that they made crap but you still bought it. It is a message that hype and ads/media are all that matter. Start saying you are indifferent, used to be a customer, and will not purchase as long as XYZ is in charge or they are doing ABC, and that information will make a difference, even here.

For instance, this account has been dox’d on Lemmy. I know it, but do not care. I see content suggestions tailored to stuff I have talked about on here even though I minimize my online fingerprint for the most part. Everything public is scaped and the data is filtering down to relevant sources. This is the modern world. So get the asshats fired.

I hate the YT thumb algo as much as the next person, but in context, it’s his channel and the guy doing the talking is entirely different. The gist he’s communicating is how complicated all this can seem, or that there are a lot more cuts present on those 3 sheets than is typically seen elsewhere.

Nothing is relevant outside of the steam deck. Steam is actively developed software that requires updating the kernel and dependencies on the device. All the hardware manufacturers like Asus are not using a dev team to maintain hardware compatibility and they will never fully mainline their source code.

It means all of the other manufacturer’s hardware will depreciate quickly as software evolves in the real world. Hardware specs are a fallacy and completely irrelevant when the software they run is not static. When the software can change, the only relevant device is the one directly supported by those that maintain the software.

What about when the wine has some extra bubbly? I thought that was due to post bottling activity. Would that also mean some live activity potential?

Yes. I’m currently on my 7th and 8th experiments with wild ferments.

I even did something of a fond with my first attempt using a mason jar of fermented blueberries in a 3% salt brine combined with the stock leftover from a 5 pound roast that spent 4 hours on the smoker first and 6 more in a dutch oven. That yielded around 1000ml of hardwood smoky flavored beef stock that originally started with chicken stock and a beer with garlic/onion/pepper etc. The blueberries yielded around 600ml of a savory juice that was like a slightly fruity soy sauce. I reduced that entire mix down to ~600ml and have my first real sauce. It is something like a smokey fruity Worcestershire (garum like fish sauce) sauce.

I’m also working with cherries, and a bunch of variations on a spicy lemon garlic/ginger to explore this area.

Interesting. I thought bread yeast was limited to ~10% abv. Am I missing something or misinformed?
