@bardi Hey you resurrected Birdhouse! I loved that app and this concept in general.

Edit: No, I'm wrong, I was just looking for something specific that I missed. This is a different emphasis and something I haven't seen before. Anyway—small apps for narrow purposes are one of the best things about the phone app medium so great work creating a new one!

@bardi That looks like a nice idea for an app!

Are you planning on adding support for setting the language of the post in the near future? What about multiple accounts?

@bardi
We prefer fredilab

@samhenrigold Yeah 3D Touch's replacement is very pee and poop.

@samhenrigold @Gargron Courage

@samhenrigold what does it mean?

@samhenrigold mahahahah!

@samhenrigold That was so funny! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@girlonthenet
I pretty much started with "I want to punt this owl" because it kept changing dialects on me.

@girlonthenet so far 600+ days of fair streak. Nothing is ideal but at least this app gives a lot of examples to memorize the words and sentences. Others usually just give some grammar + a couple of samples.
If anyone knows a better free option please suggest.

My main complaint about Duolingo is the repetition. It's fine at first, but when you're more than a hundred lessons into Arabic and every other question is still "what sound does this make", you start questioning your own sanity.

@CountBinface 5 is a lofty goal, but we need ambitious leaders

@CountBinface

Ban all 4WD vehicles from the city, unless covered in mud.

Go on, you can do it.

I have hardly ever read a more sensible manifesto.

@Gargron Have you ever played around with Band-In-A-Box? It can solo on any instrument in any style. You can click in some chords and tell it to do a trumpet solo in the style of Miles Davis, and it will produce something that sounds like Miles Davis, at least for a while. I haven't fooled around with it for many years, but I have heard tracks it produced that fooled musicians. It tends to fill all the available space and gets boring after a while because it is not saying anything.

@Gargron This was a good video.

I certainly hope to see more creativity and ingenuity from our collective output. But I'm not sure if the "whatever" approach to all that isn't enticing enough to overshadow our best work. Spotify is a great example for that:

I love music. I used to compose and perform it religiously, but today (now that my priorities have shifted), I find myself hitting the "DJ" button more and more.

I find it hard to stay optimistic on this topic, unfortunately.

@Gargron I suspect people are just responding to social cues when they judge whether music (or anything else for that matter) is good or bad.

You know a company is full of shit when they start sentences in a freakin press statement with lowercase letters.

@samhenrigold
> The company explains that the LLM it uses runs on the cloud, which is something we never questioned.

Well that's a relief. I was worried the $200 gadget actually had a chipset that was worth the price.

@samhenrigold has this thing been rooted yet?

@film_girl fun fact, the ai pin also runs on android lol 🤡

@Gargron @bibabobubi

I still know how the developer liquid smells from my arts school years. It was something going to buy the Ilford paper and spending all that time to see what was captured.

@Gargron @bibabobubi
Yearning for my old Mamiya RB67.
Can't believe I sold it for 35mm setup.

Nice thing with those metal bodied cameras is that you could play with stuff like IR film.
Had a load of pictures of trees taken with IR. They have a surprising range of different shades.

IR portraits can be quite spooky.

You are very fortunate to have a cooperative model available to you, congratulations and best wishes for a long union.

@Gargron Die Beinwinkel sehen auf den ersten Blick aus wie "Da hat die KI Bilderzeugung aber wieder voll versagt"

@matthewcassinelli It really cuts down on the exposure to clickbait and grift posts too.

@matthewcassinelli yep, I just don’t understand why more mainstream folks won’t enable it, like @mkbhd @ijustine etc.. sorta wish it’d just be turned on by default and then give them a popup allowing them to disable it should they want to but you’d think any creator would want to expand their following base any chance they get..

@matthewcassinelli The downside is this.

@Alice I would like to pay you back, but all of my money is tied up in Star Wars collectibles.

@baldur
Generated images. They don't deserve to be called art.

@baldur "that aren’t generated themselves": what do you want to say? Art is always generated by one or some artists. This means that a human (or even an animal) has painted, photographed, drawn, glued it etc.
And it sounds perhaps crazy but human artists exist who work with generative AI.

@baldur It seems that hosting sites (substack) are now adding genAI link preview images automatically, without the knowledge of the post author or them even appearing in the actual post. This is because on certain social sites (facebook) posts without a preview image get fewer clicks…. and clicks are everything. 😉

@karienbez @renchap Welcome onboard!

@Gargron might be better if she was smoking a heater.

@Gargron do you develop the film on your own or via lab?

@Gargron looks like a equipment period correct portrait, not something made in the 21st century.

@samhenrigold I like how his fingers end up matching his garb at the end.

Someone's going to say this was pro-Hamas propaganda.
