There is a setting under compatibility in Steam’s preferences that allows all Windows games to install with Proton. Without it, Valve won’t give you the download option unless they’re 100% certain it will run perfectly. This excluded many games that run fairly well, and a bunch of games that run perfectly but haven’t been properly assessed yet.

If you use Bazzite, there is absolutely zero massaging necessary to use an Nvidia GPU. I know because I made the transition fulltime to it last June with my GTX 1080. To be fair, it includes the proprietary drivers, which I think almost every other distro is too principled to do OOTB.

On your first point, I’ve been treated like I’m engaging in male-coded hobbies because I’m still very into cars and motorbikes, and I honestly just find it horribly sexist? As if cis women aren’t allowed to have these hobbies. But if you wear skirts, grow your hair long and put makeup on, you’ll be told you’re the one being sexist because womanhood is more than that. I think it all just really proves how ridiculous cis people’s perceptions about gender are, OP’s therapist definitely included.

Wait, are you getting hormones from Planned Parenthood? That wouldn’t be DIY, just Informed Consent. That’s the most common model for getting hormones officially in Australia, rather than requiring a therapist’s recommendation.

Edit: Ah, my apologies, I hadn’t read your other comment before posting this and see now this conversation has already been had <3

Kind of? It’s referencing a well known set of mass extinctions that are talked about together, the ‘Big Five’, but it also is worded poorly. Instead something like “Sharks have survived the most recent four of the ‘Big Five’ mass extinction events.” might be better?

You do need to maintain it. I have chronic health issues that cause nausea, and Domperidone (the med I take for lactation) is a good anti-emetic as well. Then, milking with a pump is required to maintain a high amount of production, but there’s always a little bit for me.

Considering how much of jerk you’re being, I’m going to reply to this with the same tone.

Do you have any evidence that the first post was made by the person who posted it?

I never said that person did make it, I infact don’t believe that they did.

Any evidence of anyone making it at all?

Jesus fucking christ, if all art is now guilty (AI) until proven otherwise, all that’s going to do is harm artists even more than they already have been.

There isn’t a watermark or signature anywhere in any panel.

Are you daft? It could have easily been cropped out, something that’s been happening on the internet since forever.

In fact the comic doesn’t even comform [sic] to any of the panel dimensions and sloppily overflow into the whitespace for no reason…

Were you literally born yesterday? Artists have been overflowing the bounds of comic panels since the comic strip was bloody invented. A character holding an object, and that object extending past the panel so it’s not cropped, is a pretty classic trope. So much so, that it doesn’t tell you if this is AI or not, because an AI would have learnt the trope from its training data.

…the ear lines of the black haired girl doesnt [sic] match in either panel for no reason, the painting doesn’t match for no reason…

So? Having some variations in art is pretty normal.

I could go on nit-picking this shit for you but it’s not my job to tell you what’s real or fake nor hold your hand through this transition period where you are no longer able to easily spot AI generated fake stuff. That’s on you to train yourself to look out for this kinda shit.

Could you maybe train yourself to be less of a dick? Cool, thanks.

I’m, not so sure about that? To me, that comic is critical of AI, not necessarily supportive of it. I feel like we’re not supposed to take the side of the bearded person, but the three others and their “Why the fuck should I care?” demeanour. Through that lens, I see the hand holding the painting as an intentional riff by the artist, hinting at why the technology might be dismissed by the majority.

I’m perfectly happy to be disproven, but I think one of the worst aspects of AI is the false accusations against legitimate artists. With the subject here being AI, I don’t want to be so quick to rule out that the “obvious sign of AI” isn’t itself satire.

Uhm, yeah? I think it’s just exposure to it, I know other creatures (/pos) that speak in a similar way.

This is quite silly, but I also like that, occasionally, I end up with a wet spot on my shirt from it leaking a bit 🤭

I mean, obviously don’t if you’re uncomfortable, but in general they are used by breastfeeding mothers in order to store milk for later. That’s done so that others can feed the child, either while the mother works or while others are caring for the child more generally.

You’re valid, their music isn’t for everyone, nor would your favourites necessarily interest me.

I don’t agree with the length of ban personally, but I’d say YDI because that article is trash. No, I don’t want to explain why it’s trash. More than just being Pro-Russia, it’s also supportive of the Trump regime in the USA in a way that feels like bootlicking.

I’m not going to lie, I’d only heard my top 3 before this vote. Amyl and the Sniffers is one of my favourite bands, have seen them live several times, and think they’d do a great job representing Australia.

It also used to be faster, as most people used self-checkouts as an analog for express lanes. But now with folks with full trolleys using it, the lack if specialisation and theft prevention systems constantly breaking requiring the one or two employees to fix, it’s now significantly longer than a regular checkout in most cases.

I’d be happy with four and eight year terms. Personally, I think the UK has shown why five years is pushing too far the other direction.

Indigenous recognition is an interesting one. The LNP undermined the ALPs referendum on recognition. If the LNP floated their own then ALP would be under a lot of pressure to support it, but of course the LNPs “recognition” would be tepid and I’m almost certain would limit equality in the future rather than promote it.

I genuinely think the proposal, to recognise indigenous history in the constitution’s preamble, is that lukewarm that ALP could easily not support it. The vast majority of indigenous rights groups aren’t going to consider it good enough.

It read to me like the OP didn’t trust their writing because of the kind of person they were and opinions they’d have, not necessarily that they had used an LLM to write their content.

I think you’re misunderstanding the post, did you actually read it?
