Doesn’t it actually require you to sign up to an account on some app hosting platform, rather than self host it?

No.

Reddit explicitly allow bots; Spotify does not - that’s the difference.

That would be a completely different piece of software. It didn’t check their pitch or their tonality or their beat. It was barely an AI.

All it did was listened to the music.

So yes if he had written a completely different piece of software that did something completely different he could have pitched it completely differently and the outcome could have been completely different.

Why is this lengthy process preferable to using ublock on Firefox?

Imgur started redirecting direct media calls to their website based on the referral header.

Basically if you didn’t visit the imgur site recently they will redirect you back to it when trying to directly view an image or video.

Fix it with this Firefox Plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/imgur-redirect-blocker/

Yayyy unsecured connections for logins.

Ratatouille famously did this, with actual scene elements rather than digital watermarking.

There’s a scene with a poster in the background. Every copy of the movie had different digits on the poster, I think with a unique ID for each cinema they were sent to. When a leak came out they could check the ID and know exactly which avenue it was leaked from.

How are they different to monkrus? Am curious

Avoid detracting from the hosts bandwidth quota.

Because AI art is shit at this kind of thing. Not incapable of, just absurdly fiddly to get obedience from. It’ll get you 75% of the way there, and then you actually need to know how to edit an image, which is where it lets you down.

Go ahead and try generating images of a family during benediction wearing ear bandages and you’ll find it really struggles with getting that last part right because it’s not typical subject matter.

It’s got Taika Waititi’s fingerprints all over it. The same way that the Whedon era has his particular style of dialogue and joke setup, Taika has a similar style that’s very recognisable and overdone.

Sure! There’s zero likelihood of this ever happening, but in the weird universe where it does you can probably sue them for coming around and shaving your dog too.

Their docs are decent and will guide you through setup. For advanced stuff search for Trash’s arr guides

Still waiting on rpmfusion to update. I wonder how long I’ll have to wait

Lacking a centralised server that even self-hosted instances must use to validate admins and will render your instance inaccessible if Plex’s server goes down again?

I’m fine with that.

I would honestly love to see a series based on moonfall, like Stargate, where we fully explore who made the “moon” and what the implications of its true nature are.

This is a perfect time for the Christmas cracker approach - you’re unlikely to be able to pick a movie that everyone agrees is good, so pick a movie that everyone agrees is bad, and bond over shared mockery.

Space Truckers (1996) - Dennis Hopper, Charles Dance. Terrible movie with some wacky bullshit, cube pigs, neon space twinks, and a cyborg love prosthetic.

Moonfall (2022) - another classic from Roland Emerick where most of the movie is nonsense but there is a seed of a brilliant idea buried in there.

Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark (2014) - it starts with a giant shark catapulting a fishing boat from Manhattan to Giza, and gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Featuring Christopher Judge in one of his less believable roles.

Same. If it weren’t for substance painter and a few other DCC apps I’d have already moved over.
