I tried to give this video a real chance, but it’s just… really bad.

Their first main point, as best as I can tell through the fluff, is that choice is actually bad because choices have pros and cons - their example being desktop environments. I don’t think I need to explain why this is a bizarre take; that’s the whole point of choice. It’s like saying the whole concept of choosing an ice cream flavor is a joke because you don’t like chocolate ice cream.

Then they start talking about using outdated packages in Linux. Which, of course, isn’t an inherently bad thing in all situations, despite their anecdote about having to use an outdated version of software with a memory leak. Amusingly they say you should keep everything 100% updated all the time because breakage basically never happens (and that updates breaking things is a myth perpetuated by Microsoft) then say Arch Linux is prone to breakage. The real kicker is that this whole point of theirs not only has nothing to do with ‘choice on Linux being a joke’, choice is actually the solution to this problem - being able to choose stability vs cutting edge is a core part of Linux. What’s hilarious is that they actually say if you want stability you should choose a distro focused on stability.

Then they talk about how proprietary software often doesn’t support Linux. Which sucks to be sure, but has little to do with the central thesis of the video (as much as it has one) and is just a pointless snipe at low-hanging fruit.

The video is generic pop clickbait composed from a mix of criticisms everyone has heard and complete nonsense. It’s a meaningless collection of ideas and gripes that neither contribute to the larger conversation nor serve to educate people.

Incredible, nice work!

Oh you’re right, no wonder this looked kinda weird but kinda normal.

ngl I actually really like that. the start button popping out over the taskbar is a nice touch. what’s the setup?

Yep.

I’ve found yandex to work even better. But yeah bing is way better than Google.

You might find this useful, allows for regional prompting: https://github.com/pkuliyi2015/multidiffusion-upscaler-for-automatic1111

Main thing I do is just lots of inpainting passes. Sketch things out in another program first if I’m adding or subtracting something big.

Automatic1111’s Stable Diffusion WebUI is hard to give up, with how many features it has that are missing in other frontends. I use anapnoe’s fork for a slightly better UI. I would use vladmandic’s fork, but some of the changes have caused issues for my particular setup.

I’ve recently started using Rats Search, basically a p2p torrent indexer. I don’t want to bother with private trackers so this is pretty much perfect.
