Sounds like someone's butthurt that other people don't want politics here. Lashing out like this post instead of being able to read the fucking room is pretty childish if you ask me.

Look, if you want some place to post politics, there are countless spaces on lemmy for it.

If you want some place to post nearly anything, 4chan's /b/ could use some more content than endless "share images from social media you wank to" threads. They'd also be far more receptive to your shitty attitude too. But considering you couldn't figure out how to post this without downloading an app, you might just be too stupid to figure it out.

A big part of the shift from lemmy to piefed seems to be that piefed has a faster development cadence, and that the developers of lemmy are openly tankies.

The flagship Lemmy instance, as in ran by the devs, is lemmy.ml. The ml stands for marxist-leninist. The lead dev regularly bans people from the entire instance for so much as questioning Chinese and Russian ~~propaganda~~ news sources, and they have many many other very controversial takes. There are some comms across the fediverse that document a lot of this, like !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

From a sticky there, the lead dev Dessalines denies the Tiananmen Square massacre and praises the Uyghur genocide.

So far as I'm aware, the piefed devs haven't been involved in any drama, and aren't posting hardline shit about their political beliefs either.

I do sys admin/engineering work in a Windows environment. PowerShell is what got me this job, and together with my programming experience allows me to keep up with my seniors who have been in their positions for a decade or more.

It also helps us all make a good team. They have the knowledge and experience advantage (though I'm catching up), I have the skills to figure out how to implement/automate the plans in a way that doesn't involve days of mind numbing manual actions.

Unfortunately, yes.

You're looking at AI upscaling as a shortcut to the end result you want: your book. But from experience, jumping to the end of something robs you of the joy and accomplishment of doing the hard work to get there.

Instead ask if the book really needs illustrations. If it does, wouldn't taking the time to do them right be better? It would also give you more time to revise the other aspects of it.

If this is something you're passionate about, don't douse water on that fire by cheating to the end. If it's not something you're passionate about, why do it in your free time to begin with? If you think you'll somehow make money off it, you'll have plenty more hurdles to go through that can't be AI'd away. If it's just a passion project, use that fucking passion.

I understand the intense desire to just be great at something without putting all the effort in. But there really are no shortcuts to this shit. The main advantage that other people have over you on this is that they started earlier, so they have more time put into it already.

If your friend group doesn't let you use proxy cards, they aren't your friends.

I was checking if you were one of the accounts that gets made and spams 10 news/political posts in it's first day of existence (I block those).

You aren't, but for fucks sake you commented on one of the anti-news shitposts last week. You know that plenty of people don't want this sort of shit in the shitposting comm.

Think you may have hit the wrong comm for this.

The design is very human

Stuart Semple also developed a comparably "black" black to Vantablack, that is arguably darker and better suited for art use.

No, you see, this is about how some people are just born with special powers that intrinsically make them better at work related to the one and only future of the coming AGI god.

DEI is about trying to ensure people have an equal chance. This is about establishing a new class of elites based on unchangable genetic traits. A class of "super" or "uber" men, if you will.
