A random girl told me I had beautiful eyes in line for an amusement park ride about 5-7 years ago and I still think about it 🤣
This whole “spend a ton of money to get your foothold, take over a market, then enshittify to bilk the users” shtik is getting very very old.
I GET IT!
What a shame, I really like my synology but it’s getting old. Guess it’s a home built nas next :/
Thank you so much!! That’s a good point, I actually have a bunch of photos of the street - maybe I’ll print a couple and write the location on them :)
Appreciate the response! ❤️
Thank you! Mostly I just have to move it soon (moving across the country) and want to know how to keep the loose sand & pebbles in the grout from rubbing off
Archaeologists, I need your help! Seeking advice on preserving an old cobblestone I have
Bit of a stretch for the community, but I figured if anyone can help me it’s probably the people of the archaeology community. Mods strike me down if I hath sinned.
Ok - story first, then I get to what I want to ask for help with.
So as you can see, I have an old cobblestone from a street I used to live above a while back. It was an old part of town with an asphalt road and apparently they had just paved over the original street, which apparently had a set of trolley tracks at one point.
They tore the asphalt up for some construction reason and found the original cobblestone street. The historical society apparently made them halt work and debated, but eventually decided they didn’t have storage space or something because after a couple of weeks of the old street sitting uncovered with a fence around it like an exhibit stuck out of time, the cobbles were in a heap in a dumpster, the ancient rusty tracks were tossed aside and a hole had been dug where they were.
I was upset, to s
Glad you’re (mostly) ok! Bummer about the car but what a lovely silver lining - thanks so much for sharing it with us! 💜
Fuckstick!

Wait, what? I’m legit not familiar with immutable distros, is it like you’re only allowed to modify certain directories?

Search “switch hacking is easy” - there’s an ancient site that got dcma’d (or something) that is defunct but someone rehosted it under “switch hacking is still easy” on github.
That’ll help you tell whether you’re able to use the joycon jumper method or not. If not, it’s a very fiddly modchip install that I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re experienced in soldering.
Be sure you understand the difference between launching directly and installing a parallel OS (sysmmc vs emummc, I think?)
Someone might need to check me but if you do sysmmc then boot into it without the hacks and Nintendo domain blocking, it’ll connect up to Nintendos servers and report the hack and ban your console
Ok, so which one of you did I just see in traffic?
Weird BIFL request - Fabric de-piller / shaver?
The things with a grid of holes and a little spinning blade that removes pills from furniture and fabric. I keep buying $10 shitty Walmart ones and they die after a few months.
Any brands etc that aren’t enshittified yet?
If an artist trains an image generation AI on their own digital art catalog, should they be able to get a copyright on what it produces? When does a tool change from a tool to a non-human creator?
Under US copyright law, only works created by humans can be copyrighted. Courts have (imho rightly) denied copyrights to AI-generated images.
My question is when do you think AI image tools cross from the realm of a “tool” (that, for example generates and fills in a background so an item can be removed from a photo) into the realm of “a human didn’t make this”?
What if an artist trains an AI so specialized it only makes their style of art? At what point do you think the images they create with it begin to count as their “work product”?
Surprised my partner with her first shork
No fluffy shork photo I’m afraid but I wanted to share a nice story.
I’ve been dating an mtf girl for about 6 months now. She’s been on hrt for about 3yr but is still very socially anxious. We’ve been going out grocery shopping and whatnot to get her a bit more exposure to being in public presenting as fem - with me there to anchor and help in case she gets overwhelmed.
Recently, we went to Ikea together to look at kitchen shelves cuz my kitchen is a disaster. She was forgetting her anxiety a bit and we were having a nice light conversation winding our way to the exit and I jokingly asked “do you want a shark?” as we walked by the crate of them.
She asked me if I knew, I said I did. She turned the cutest freaking shade of red I’ve seen and said she didn’t think she could ever buy one without an anxiety attack and stumbled over her words a bit. Cute as fuck. 🫠
I knew what had to be done.
Next day I went back and went straight to the bin and bought literally just a shark. I’m su
