But this is SOO tedious. The annoying bit is it could just be one person who set it up over a weekend, has a script that they plug into when wanting to be a troll, and now all admins/mods have to do more work.

You’re fighting the good fight! So annoying that folks are doing it on freaking lemmy.

Some days, or weeks, it’s enough!

Maybe shake it up from time to time with something else from the book, but I understand where some months eating enough to keep the stomach pains away is just all that can be done.

Yeah I like mixing it personally!

Like I have fresh sour dough bread I made this morning. I then like to use said bread to spoon in store bought curries, pasta sauces, peanut butter, and jelly. Or sometimes I’ll use it as bread for a frozen fish patty to make a sandwich. I also have a big things of rice and beans I made that I will sometimes just plop into a tortilla and call a meal.

I would steal this if I wasn’t allergic to soy XD

Well maybe you can sometimes stretch your wings into “Open can of black beans, drain it, and mix in ranch” territory sometimes!

Ahh this is not a “go buy” something recipe.

This is a “If you are thinking of not eating because you feel like you have nothing to eat, eat this instead”

100%, some of these recipes are “scavenge for food with things in the back of your fridge/pantry”

Some days, you need a reminder that eating anything is better than eating nothing.

Yeah I tried making a sour dough starter twice from scratch and it didn’t have any oomph to it.

So I just bought one and suddenly boom, perfect XD

Oh happy to hear that it’s valid advice! I got it from a speaker at a video game making thing I went to years ago that stuck with me.

Talking about it I suddenly have the urge to do it again xD It was very satisfying to compare last weeks drawing to this weeks, and the first drawing in the book to the last one. I can only imagine how satisfying it would be if I stuck with it for a year XD

I mean I’m not great in any way, but the way I did that I found very satisfying was find a tutorial where the end product is something you like and will take under an hour, or heck 10 minutes, idc.

Then follow it. The first time it’ll probably come out garbage. That’s okay! Think about which parts you did wrong.

Then the next day, follow the tutorial again. Then the next day, again. Each day try things differently to get closer to what the tutorial wants you to do.

After about a month I was super happy with what I drew and realized that if you just draw, you’ll get better.

Same! Some of the recipes make it sound like you need 6 special tools and a climate controlled area. Freaking internet blogs trying to justify their existence by over complicating things.

Oh yeah some even let you play in browser now. Crazy how it takes seconds, and most peoples phones can even play most everything game cube and earlier.

Assuming you mean LLM’s and image generation, yeah open source is much better! Cause that way it’ll be used for dumb silly things.

An LLM in a video game? Sure, could be cool. A game like spore where it generates species, and it uses image generation? Could be cool. Also if an artist wants inspiration from AI images, I don’t hate on anyone’s process. All those things I feel like are better if the people using them are in control of them.

Haha yeah we have seen some wonderful singers come out of nowhere with fully produced songs.

Yes there are a lot of people who are having fun, but people producing songs for fun doesn’t make songs you enjoy worst. It’s amazing that someone can from the comfort of their home and stuff off amazon they can produce a song in about 6 months with equipment/software that would require a studio 20ish years ago. Also probably never been more satisfying to produce a song. Even if it’s not “Great” it still adds to the joy of music.

The level the “hobbyist” music producer can reach now days is mind boggling with the free software they can get on their phones and pcs.

I actually bought an escooter about 10 years ago.

Thing couldn’t get me anywhere.

And how did they get so freaking cheap?

Ooh watched an AutoPulse one!

AutoPulse looks almost Star Trek. Very sleek and usable. It looks so unassuming when they pull it out, then it makes that chest COMPRESS. I’m aware that you have to press hard enough to get the ribcage moving, but I was not prepared for such an unassuming device to have that much force. I can see them slipping a vest onto someone in star trek that pumps their heart and helps carry them to sick bay.

Lucas is more star wars. It looks like a rib cracker.

So I think I’d prefer an auto pulse XD
