Ender of Games

I have qBit bound to my VPN (Nord), but it basically stops every few minutes. So I had to stop and use killswitch.

This, I think, is actually an issue with qBit. But maybe it only ever happens to me.

If you are soaked, then you are way too hot. Take off a layer or three.

Sweat isn’t heat, it’s the body’s method to remove heat. If you are working out but cold enough, you won’t sweat, especially not more than in summer.

“extremely expensive” is a bit of an overstatement.

Youtube proper, not the rest of Google, is tens of billions in the black, annually.

They reached this level of control over the market by running without video ads for a long time, forcing competitors to close out or not even open into the market without similar money backing. Turning around now and forcing tracking and ads should open them up to antitrust suits.

It’s all arbitrage. If you can afford YouTube Premium’s price, and don’t mind the tracking, go for it. But all this ad blocking and alternative front ends MIGHT come to half a billion annually. uBlock has around 15 million installs, each installed user- assuming all separate and unique and blocking YouTube- would have to deny YouTube $1000 annually for it to be affecting their revenue.

They can see the percentage of people who watched that part of the video, as part of the video analytics. This doesn’t track the user, though, at least not if you have history turned off, or are using another front end.

Honestly reminds me of the South African man at Mandela’s funeral doing the sign language interpretation… but didn’t know sign language.

Do you use a proxy server through the settings, or just turn on your VPN and run it while torrenting?

I use Nord, and with the former method I was having issues. I reported it in an issue on the GitHub, and even contacted Nord for support. Now, there does seem to be a lot of down time with the regular method, but with the proxy (“better” method normally) there was times where it was exactly as you described- tons of seeds or leeches, but no connections, uploads, or downloads across the board.

In the execution log, there was an error that’d pop up repeatedly. I can’t remember or see at the moment what that error is, something about SOCKS5, the proxy connection. But after popping 5-10 times, that’s when everything would hit zeroes. I would have to close and reopen qBittorrent to get it to start again. When I used uTorrent before, I never had these issues, so I was thinking about moving on to some other torrent application. Wanting to stay with Open Source programs kept me for now.

You’re just not willing to be rational or reasonable at all because you care more about your petty and stupid political agenda than you do about the truth.

Tell us more about all the mass bear sprayings that kill so many Americans every year. Rational and reasonable my ass. God, you are so fucking stupid AND not self aware.

If they were really hippies, would they willingly have firearms? That seems very unusual for them.

That guy doesn’t have lots of dogs. He sold one dog, and all of them left.

I thought the FMHY lists showed sites that hosted themselves, not just peer posted files. If this was happening regularly with such a site, I’d eject it, too.

Also, the information provided sates plainly that this is far from the first time, but their lack of response or efforts to stop malware is what triggered the removal from the list. FileCR should plainly not be on the trusted list.

I really thought it was going to be filled with "human"s and "fighter"s.

I, too, am kobold warlock.

I haven’t tried Invoke, no. My SD journey is at a standstill because I haven’t learned how to convert safetensors into working model files, and I haven’t tried in a few months.

…yes

Here are the sets of 4 they came in:

It seems to be inspired by the Ender’s Game movie for prompts with spaces. I might use one of these for an avatar. But I’m not entirely happy with the fact that none of them seem to know how to use technology correctly.

Of course, here is “a user named Ender of Games, stealing iPads from a walmart, security footage”

Went to use Bing for DALL-E 3 for the first time for these. Here are the first returns:

This is a great thread, it was over 1k comments in a few hours, and I’ve spent all day scrolling through these. Hope the servers can handle it.

I, too, am from the great nation of CA DAADA

That image of a woman appears so many times in this thread D:

Bing (?) seems to have a lot of the image generation mixed up

It knows KSP very well. Very good image, very inspiring.

Stable Diffusion does require some setup and knowledge, for occasional hobbyist use it’s probably too much to ask for.

Midjourney sadly stopped free trials. But DALL-E and ChatGPT (OpenAI) have research/free use available. And DALL-E 3 costs money through OpenAI, but if you just search for “Bing image generator” it uses DALL-E 3. There are other free generation tools, and some examples on using SD and branches of SD online if you get interested in seeing who can do what. Sadly most free tools have censorship rules, but hopefully “hung” won’t trip any of them.
