My wife cut waves for me out of vinyl foil, and I was then allowed to apply them. It looks cool and can also be removed without residue if necessary.

For the first time, already pretty good and almost without bubbles (Blasen in German). 😜🤪 /BadDadJokes

And this is a PNG created from the project file before the cutting. The colours match almost perfect, as she did not use a colour pipette of a photograph.

Mmmh how should I bring a longer blogpost onto this platform? Should I create something like a Thread? Or should I paste the translation onto some other markdown service, hedgedoc hosted site and link it?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci That is correct. There is something I am writing about Edge and what the default settings are. But holy cow is it bad sind they introduced this new creator thing wing

I was listening to an O’Reilly hosted event where they had the CEO of GitHub, Thomas Dohmke, talking about CoPilot. I asked about biased systems and copyright problems. He, Thomas Dohmke, said, that in the next iteration they will show name, repo and licence information next to the code snippets you see in CoPilot. This should give a bit more transparency. The developer still has to decide to adhere to the licence. On the other hand, I have to say he is right about the fact, that probably every one of us has used a code snippet from stack overflow (where 99% no licence or copyright is mentioned) or GitHub repos or some tutorial website without mentioning where the code came from. Of course, CoPilot has trained with a lot of code from public repos. It is a more or less a much faster and better search engine that the existing tools have been because how much code has been used from public GitHub repos without adding the source to code you pasted it into?

I would be happy if there would be a delta button beside every entry just like you have the reply and fork. maybe it can be put on the right side next to bookmark and mute?

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh and I am not using CoPilot. That’s too much data collection for me. I try to avoid using MS Products wherever I can.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes in my feed.

At home. Doing Things.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You can consume the image as you can consume any other image. If I print it and put it up next to Van Gogh, Goethe poems, Beethoven notes, it is something you can look at and enjoy, or not.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh nice. Did not check Gitea for quite some time. So no need to have Drone installed aside it?

@prologic@twtxt.net I will try. Thanks.

@prologic@twtxt.net The prompt for this batch of 4 was:

concept sketch of flying cyberpunk cars, future Cologne at night, view from behind a taxi, 2d, line drawing, thick outlines, neon light, (pencil sketch:0.3), (caricature:0.2),

@prologic@twtxt.net Not quite. Here is the prompt I used including the model and seed

a concept sketch of a cyberpunk cars flying through a cyberpunk city, view from behind a taxi, 2d, line drawing, (pencil sketch:0.3), (caricature:0.2), style by kim jung gi, zabrocki, karlkka, jayison devadas, trending on artstation, 8k, ultra wide angle, pincushion lens effect

Negative prompt: bad_prompt_version2, bad-artist, bad-artist-anime, EasyNegative, ng_deepnegative_v1_75t

Despite telling it to have flying cars, they don’t fly. Properly nothing embedded inside the model.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, aehm, no, I should update the pod then, right? Will do so in a minute…

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no this is is the small nice community of nerds and geeks I would say :-). How many people are we? 20?

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I still have my account there. I don’t want some other idiot to steal it. Even though I am a nobody on Twitter, I still want my nick to be saved.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Yeah, yeah, sometimes I read stuff on Twitter. But 99% of the time, I am on https://nrw.social/@cblte. It is my new home. Being from the area, it was a no-brainer for me to be a part of https://nrw.social instance. Almost ALL the people I have followed on Twitter, I have also found on Mastodon.

During the process of generating my wallpaper, I had got some of these result

Generated myself a new desktop wallpaper

@prologic@twtxt.net I was not quick enough this morning, but we had about 30 (maybe more) seagulls flying around in our neighbourhood making a lot of noise. Seagulls are so freakin’ loud. Unbelievable. In comparison, your bird is super quiet.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I think the others are not yet awake. And I just came back here after some off-time. I actually was close to shutting this down and leaving for Mastodon.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci There is no pressure. I just find it very helpful in my daily conversation. I have to write so many emails to so many idiots who have no idea what they are doing. But WE need their input for our work, and we kind of rely on their willingness to give us their data (by contract) in a certain time frame. Often they do not send anything and we run after them a lot. I asked if I could write something called a “brand letter” in German. But my boss refused. So, I have to write nice texts so as not to annoy them. #IfYouSeeThisBossDontFireMe :-)

@prologic: Holy cow, that sounds amazing and scary at the same time.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hi there. Makes sense and sounds of logic to me. I will think about it. But then, where should I host my code with nice automatic builds? Can I set up something on my own? Or should I go to gitlab?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I would not call it fake. It is not drawn by hand, that’s sure. But fake?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci naja. It is a good helper tool. German Based Company. And yes, you can also get a paid account. But which text correct should I use then?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes yes, Thunderstorm is gone. The clouds move fast here in The Hague.

DEEPL now has a Writer https://www.deepl.com/write - very nice, fast and available in multiple languages. Write better texts, instantly.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Kuchen gab es leider nicht.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Here we now have thunder and lightning…

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @adi@twtxt.net Stable Diffusion was the AI that I used to generate this with the MIMIC v1.0 model. https://civitai.com/models/35174/mimic

I wish I could draw like that. But I never learned to draw. I can only do some doodles.

So crazy. Good sunny weather all day long and now big thunderstorm with lightning and thunder direclty above us. No rain yet

Das Licht geht aus, ich bin zu Hause. Rabimmel, Rabommel, Rabumm, Good night

You can all see it in the Health App

@prologic@twtxt.net The EU as well as the UN are all non-tech not smart people who think, the internet is a bad place because of all the algorithms.

@prologic@twtxt.net OMG. Get well soon and good luck and best wishes.

@prologic@twtxt.net Both. Full code is complicated and does not work. I can write small functions. For example, it took me about one hour to write a full PDF management console app in PowerShell to mimic the App PDF-Archiver https://github.com/PDF-Archiver/PDF-Archiver

But for writing full code? No, that does not work. You still have to connect all the bits and pieces. But I ask it to correct things or explain certain things during code documentation. If you give ChatGPT a complete function, regardless of the Language I tried, it can write you correct e.g. Javadoc with all params, and also document your code with inline comments. Sometimes it also shows you hints and lets you know about certain optimization features. For example, instead of using string concatenation, that you should better use a String Builder.

@prologic@twtxt.net Works for me. And I am running multiple AdGuard instances to be covered.

@prologic@twtxt.net naja, I want it to stay. I am using it for code documentation. And it is good.

Here we go! Germany, after Italy, is going bonkers:

chatgpt: Germany’s data protectors open proceedings against OpenAI.“We need to know where the data comes from” used to train ChatGPT. OpenAI is to answer to the data protection authorities.

In the current episode of Logbuch Netzpolitik LNP457 “Nicht Normgerecht”, Khaleesi talks about her visit to the UN in New York. Just the things she tells make your hair stand on end. And when you read headlines like this: “Hate speech online: New EU agency to decrypt social media algorithms”, your hair stands even higher.

A passage in the article by Deutsche Welle particularly caught my attention, namely the one under the picture of Josephine Ballon, the head of the Abmahnverein HateAid, entitled “Tapping in the Dark”.

And above all, there is still the issue of chat control. This needs to be prevented. Please sign the petition. Thank you!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci But that’s long time know that Teals uploads images to the companies’ server. And we in Germany discuss if Chinese Cars are dangerous.
