There's a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify

Now after seeing more and more, my brain's detection algorithms are updating.

I'm quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect

I thought i had a pretty good radar for AI slop these days, but this one slipped past my heuristics.

What tipped you off?

On closer inspection, the meteors are a clue. AI doesnt seem to know that the foreground characters should occlude them.

Any other obvious ones?

Same here. I always have a terminal open if i need it. I probably split my time 50/50 between GUI and CLI.

not sure why people think it's one or the other when using linux

I use debian, btw

"The Rant" guy is back. And this time, promoting Canada instead of sub-par beer.

Way better than the original rant.

Literally crying while watching this.

Fun fact: it's Jeff Douglas from CBC Radio

Another made in Canada brand goes down... Dont let them fool you with "Concu au Canada/Designed in Canada". No problem if you want to keep buying the brand, but if they dont drop the prices then dont pay "made in canada" prices for chinese made stuff.

Brands still made in canada (specifically QC): Quartz (only the winter coats) and Audvik

Risk assessment for f-droid vs. google play store (self.android)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by 9488fcea02a9 to c/[email protected]

With the whole XZ compromise, i am now rethinking the pros and cons of using f-droid

Google play: trust the developer, trust google's vetting process and distribution

F-droid: trust the developer, trust f-droid build tools and distribution

So in both cases, the developer could be either knowingly or unknowingly including malicious code in their code or apk... We cant really do anything about that. Have to trust the developer, or build from source yourself.

Once the apk is produced and sent to google, it is unlikely to be altered before being downloaded on to your phone. (Assuming your threat model does NOT include google being coerced by state level actors to send you a bad .apk)

F-droid's entire build chain and distribution seems like a relatively easy target for building and distributing bad .apks. We're talking about the difference between attacking google, vs. attacking a small community supported website.

Dont get me wrong, i'm a long time f-droid user and donor. I'm just thinking out loud and seeing if anyone else has similar concerns.

Private chat app using wifi only. No SIM available (self.privacy)

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

Is having a coach right for me? (self.running)
 

I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?
