  • I love it for asset creation and texture for games. As a programmer with 0 artistic skill it has been a god send to be able to do far higher quality UI while not bogging down my prototyping time.

    But for like truely unique art… It’s kind of a mess. Like try to get an AI to make a dwarf warrior with a Lance riding on the shoulders of an anthropomorphic cat person, who is dressed in monk robes.

    AI struggles so hard with unique scenes like that… For now…









  • Alright let me make a devils advocate position in good faith.

    Government surveillance is bad. A digital ID system is government surveillance.

    If the system is OP-in for non social media sites. But mandatory for major social media sites, pornography, liquor/weed purchase sites and for commenting on news sites… It’s not that different then the current web?

    I mean we all use Firefox, TOR and VPNs if we want privacy on the web at this point. The government having a centralized point to deanonymize you on standard web isn’t really a big deal.

    Now if they crack down on VPN/alternate methods then yeah… It’s gonna be a bad time. But I can actually see this as an attack vector to prevent misinformation.






  • $10 for amazing tomato sauce. Makes 700ml or roughly 7 plates of pasta.

    Req: Pot, Can Opener, Tupperware, Bulk Bin Store, cup measurements, tablespoon, teaspoon.

    Basics: Open can, measure ingredients, put most ingredients into pot, set temperature, stir, lower temperature, add final ingredient, stir every 15 min for 30min-2hrs.

    Buy Garlic Powder 2 cups, Italian Seasoning 1 cup, Oregano 1 cup, Basil 1 cup, Rosemary 1cup and powdered Thyme 1 cup. At bulk bin store usually comes to $6.

    Buy two cans of crap tomato sauce (Hunt’s,.Heimz, Store Brand) 351ml or two cans of tomato paste. $1-$3.

    If tomato paste, you add water until thick sauce consistency and then salt with 4 table spoons of sauce.

    Else pour cans of sauce into pot.

    Add 3 Table Spoons Italian Seasoning, 2 Tablespoons Oregano, 1 Tablespoon Rosemary, 2 teaspoons basil, 2 teaspoons Powdered Thyme.

    Bring pot to burner and set for medium-high. Stir until bubbling. Turn to low.

    Add 1/2 cup garlic powder.

    Let simmer no lid for 1-2 hours. Or 30 minutes if you want a less flavour sauce. Stir every 15min.

    Done.

    You’ll have enough spices for 4 more basically 700ml of sauce. Which is roughly 28 more plates of pasta.
