I'm currently using the binary from their GitHub repository (v1.64.2). The Proton Drive backend was added in 1.64.0.

 

It seems like when uploading pictures to Proton Drive via rclone instead of the web ui, the pictures' thumbnails never get generated. Has anybody found a way of triggering the thumbnail generation, without re-uploading everything?

You probably have missed stuff! When I started my second playthrough I couldn't believe how much more content there was. And I haven't even finished act 3 in either playthrough...

Cool, I hope this gets mass adopted, so that I can replace my RSS reader with my Mastodon account.

but I also think it empowers people like me who have the visual ideas but can use the help making them fully fleshed out

I totally get that. In fact, I feel similar because I often have ideas or concepts for visual art, but then I lack the drawing/painting skill to actually realize them (I try to improve, but I rarely find the time to practice). In that way, AI assistance could be seen as a tool to make expression via art more accessible to the masses (especially since not everybody can afford or has the resources to visit an art school).

I think my conflict comes mainly from the immense respect and admiration I have for people who are able to create powerful, realistic images from scratch (e.g. people like Martina Fačková). Maybe I just need to get used to it, I mean calculators exist and that's not a bad thing, because they make our lives easier.

A lot of our AI woes are reflections of questionable human behavior (racist chat models, AI for war, deepfakes and dishonesty).

I find it very interesting, because it poses the question of how much of this behavior is unintentionally woven into AI assisted images. When you look at artists like Martina Fačková, every little detail in her art is intentional and thereby it is also an expression of herself and her views on the world. But with AI art, while the broader composition and concept is intentional, a lot of the details are generated based on how the model is trained (of course you can decide whether you want to go with it or do another pass, in that sense it's maybe a little bit of self-expression still).

Interestingly, looking at your picture I can see bits and pieces of a war/apocalypse sceneries, e.g. the bird in the sky almost looks like a plane, the ruined buildings in the background (please note that this is not meant as criticism, just an observation). Now that I think of it, I'm also reminded of this captain america movie poster. Maybe the AI had some marvel movie posters in its training data ;-).

I'm a little bit conflicted honestly, because I'm not a fan of the idea of A.I. art, in general. But I also have to admit this result looks really good. Very cool character and perspective! I also like your take with him being a defender/carrying no weapon.

I think maybe it needs some more work in the surroundings, because some of the buildings don't make sense (missing walls e.g. around his shield).

This is your life now.

 

I am becoming more and more pessimistic about DAD. What do you think?

Fair point, although [email protected] seems to go fairly well, but the fact that it's a recent game is probably helping.

For some reason I did not find this community before. I will try to contribute there. Thank you!

 

Is anybody aware of lemmy communities similar to r/dragonage on reddit?

What makes this subreddit stand out for me is the extensive discussion of the Dragon Age lore. It's is one of the few reasons I go back to reddit from time to time and I would love to find something similar on lemmy.

(I thought about creating a community myself, but I first wanted to make sure, that I haven't missed something that already exists.)

Not the most spectacular screenshot, but we have to start somewhere ;-).

This screenshot shows a captcha I got when trying to google something from the university network (around 2009).

Other apps shown in the taskbar:

  • Pidgin buddy list + conversation
  • XMMS (music player, similar to Winamp)
  • Azureus (a BitTorrent-Client)
  • Gnome terminal

Amongst others I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate 3 in coop mode.

I absolutely love it (I'm also a huge fan of Dragon Age Origins, so no surprise here).

I just wish cut scenes wouldn't just start playing as soon as one of the players walks into them. Especially since the game is so dense with content (we are still relatively at the beginning though, maybe that changes later on).

I know with most dialogs everybody has the option to listen, but often you're still going to miss the beginning of the conversation. A "wait for other players" button or something like that would be great.

How do other people handle this?

Thanks for all your suggestions! I isolated the plants for now (and moved them away from the plant light) and I will try to get rid of the affected leaves gradually.

I noticed small white dots on the leaves, which makes me think that it might actually be lice. Although I never saw one move, so not sure about that.

Hopefully my poor jade plants will recover.

 

I have had this issue with my jade plants for several years. All leaves develop a scaly texture after a while. New leaves regrow green and healthy. Some smaller leaves quickly turn silver and just fall off. All of my jade plants have this, but none of my other succulents seem affected. It also doesn't kill the plants, they are all several years old.

At first, I thought it might be sunburn since I have them under a grow light. But then the pattern on the larger leaves almost looks like something is eating through them. In addition, most images of sun burned jade plants I found online look a little bit different (the patches seem to be rounder and have a different texture).

Could this be some sort of fungal infection?

I found this old reddit thread which seems to be about the exact same issue. However, the OP never found the underlying cause.

 

I havn't had the time to test it out myself (yet), but so far this looks promising. There are still some issues, but I assume they will be sorted out eventually.

How far did you proceed and what language did you use?

I think the challenges a great way to learn a new programming language. Though I have to admit I never finished the set myself.

 

In this demonstration a client connects to a server, negotiates a TLS 1.3 session, sends "ping", receives "pong", and then terminates the session.
