The Onion, I think?

Yeah, this makes sense. The health of the instance we're on is our concern too. Since a Fediverse instance is not a faceless entity and doesn't pull the same capitalist shenanigans on its users, the users will probably be more willing to support it with donations if they see something like this. Many other donation-funded sites have something similar.

Initially, it's probably fine to have it included in the server rules blurb on the side, but it should probably just be part of the API for mobile clients, and possibly communicated to other servers too? So if some valuable content is on an instance that's not doing well, you can deal with that. If it regularly gets valuable content but can't sustain itself, people might donate even if it's not their home instance. Otherwise, it can be copied somewhere safe, if it's basically abandoned.

Okay, this is a good article. I was on the fence about Meta, wondering how they'd cause any damage, and this article cleared that up for me.

That long borzoi snout has been a meme for quite a while now, often accompanied by a "let me do it for you... kermie", a snippet from a Muppets show where Miss Piggy sings to Kermit, at a high pitch.

My last two phones both got slow as their batteries got bad, and were basically like new after replacing them. My current phone doesn't allow swapping the batteries.

For someone thrifty, being able to replace the battery can extend a phone's life 2x or more. Even if you don't want to keep using it, you could still resell it or give it to someone who doesn't need the newest phones. Non-swappable batteries are a form of planned obsolescence, in addition to just being more compact and probably a little cheaper.

Here in the Netherlands, we only tip for fancy restaurants, if the service was good.

Sweet, good to know!

You'd probably want to use a Canny or SoftEdge ControlNet to get it to match your face contours, and possibly use img2img at low denoising strength with loopback (repeats img2img on the output of the previous run, for however many loops you specify). The latter is always a good way to change the visual style of an image without changing the content too much.

You could also use a reference-only ControlNet to get it to stay more consistent, but you'll usually have to set it to "my prompt is more important" or it'll seriously mess with the brightness of your output image (near-black or near-white)

Hey, let's not be insulting. Sometimes it's a hot glue gun and a soldering iron, used purely for melting through plastic.

Beautiful.

Sure, that's not what I meant. Anarchism is, as far as I know, largely a "live and let live" kinda thing. I wouldn't expect an anarchist to go and block a bunch of instances for no real reason, you know?

I was wondering about that! It seemed weird for an anarchist pirate instance to have a long block list.
