Appa! Yip yip!

PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

I read that ghost was federating, I think.

That’s fair - I had just thought it must be the new normal, if it had trickled down to our city (city, but not big city).

The whole business of blaring ads at a captive audience is bs, either way!

I don’t live in a big city, by any stretch - but I guess it’s not the sticks, because we have that shit around here. And not just the busiest gas stations, by the highway. I hate it.

Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅

Hell, I could be wrong too :-P I’ve never gone in that direction - only adding a Linux dual boot from USB stick. That sounds kinda scary, and would definitely make it easy.

Well, damn. Thanks for warning me about that possibility - looked like more steps that included BIOS last I checked, but as I said, I’ve never needed the process.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I should note that I have installed Windows from a USB stick recently, I’ve just never already had another OS installed and then going to Windows. Most of my experience is installing a Linux flavor for dual boot.

I use this app called MoeMemos which is for memos I guess? But the reason I mention it like this is because I’m the user who needs to have the easy access on our server :-P

I don’t know if it’s an active community or not just checked and it looks like it’s active on GitHub at least.

I guess I don’t know - I think you’d still have to go into BIOS and switch it to boot from USB? I don’t know about the rest of it, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t just start installation. Unless it’s a thumb drive specifically tailored to take over someone’s system?

So yes, you could reinstall Windows, but it would still require a reboot to BIOS to allow for it. Am I missing something? What’s the big “gotcha” that I missed? I genuinely don’t know, and since I am not an expert on installation of OSes, if you could enlighten me, that could be useful for me.

I don’t feel like that’s exclusive to Lenovo, fwiw. I have an Asus laptop, and it went like that for me installing Linux from a USB stick. It was a hassle and you’re right that it seems harder than it needs to be.

I don’t have any idea why it’s like that, but it feels like it’s a better option than someone being able to walk up to my PC/laptop/whatever and change my os just by using a thumb drive without any other hoops to go through. That’s just where I stand on the issue, but you’re right that it sucks for the owner/user.

I would definitely order too many.

And I would love it 😁

Hahaha - love it!

Kevin Conroy and Adam West are both awesome Batmans, but Lego Batman isn’t bad either.

Kevin Conroy was a pretty kick-ass live action Batman, too.

Hahaha - it’s not cheating, it’s using all the tools at your disposal! I simply haven’t learned how to do that yet :-P At any rate, there’s a talent there. Kudos

We do have an LLM that is fed a prompt (built randomly), which it A) uses to build a better and more descriptive prompt and B) to create a “headline” or title for the image. It is entirely silly 😂

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow, beautiful! That is a lot of detail, enriching. You make some good art, man.

(I definitely need to work on my prompt building - compared to you and my husband, I sound like a caveman 😅 ) Loras are fun - it’s basically what I use to make up for my stunted prompts. But it is a whole different rabbit hole to get into :-P

Very nice!

What are you using for the glowy? Is it just prompt based, or a lora? I recently got a bioluminescence one that it reminds me of, but I’m not the best prompt-smith so my art looks very little like yours 😂
