Like most people, it changes. For me it is like someone took the volume knob on the world and maxed it out for half a second. Just a blip of every sound in the room suddenly being set to 11. Sometimes it is like someone yelling in my ear, but just a grunt or a scream like they fell over.

An FYI for Windows users, check out Everything for searching your harddrive. It is insanely fast. Like, search your entire harddrive in real time as you press the letters fast. Compared to the crap Windows has built in, it feels like magic, until you realize that searching a database at fast speeds has been a solved problem for decades and yet Microsoft still continues to struggle because they want to throw in every possible piece of metadata and contents every time you search when most people just want to type a name in.

Sounds like the problem is lack of regulations, not people repairing their own stuff. We are letting companies create unmanageable products then blaming owners for trying to take ownership. Encryption is a solved problem, and doesn't require a black box to be secure, in fact is more secure when it isn't. And this isn't the first time that Cara breaking on the road a risk. If someone put after market breaks on their car and they failed, people would die too, yet somehow we allowed that. Car manufacturers are being allowed to make anti-consumer decisions and are blaming us for them.

I'm sure that is what the car manufacturers claim.

Cars have been home repaired since cars existed. It has never been a notable safety concern. Somehow it suddenly is?

That's probably ComfyUI, one of the more popular open source tools. You are right, it is visual programming. Mixing text, reference images, and a lot of other items into models to output images. I can easily see someone spending hours to get a single image out of it, but then it becomes a bit of a reusable pipeline. It's a cool tool, and, if as someone else in this comment chain said that art is a study of choice, then the output is arguably art. I'm not sure I'd go that far with it, but I have a hard time calling my programming art as well, although it meets most of the definitions of it, and is certainly a creative act.

I daily drive it on 2 machines. Overall, it is super simple, if you know how to ready json or yml, you will understand the config file instantly. However, it is a unique OS, and works different than most other distros. As a result, any guide made for other Linux distros needs to be thrown out the window. It also doesn't natively support most self executing packages like app image. All that said, it is fun and easy, just make sure when you look for support, you are looking for NixOS support.

M365 is doing away with all legacy authentication, do not be surprised if IMAP is completely unusable in the next 12 months. If you simply want to keep a copy of everything, a store and forward SMTP proxy would probably be the solution, so all email going to your domain would hit that first, then send off to M365.

At that size they are certainly targeting enterprise and cloud servers. Cool that they are getting that big, but they probably cost as much as a house.

I don't mind auto saving in places that keep versioning. But by default for LibreOffice does sound as dangerous as not having it.

Highway signage was critical. If you were traveling, you could tell which states sucked by them not having any signs pointing you back to the highway.

Plausable sounding trash, specifically. More plausable than what extremely low paid humans can put out.
