By using the software as intended. I guess I could file a bug report, but I think it’s hilarious that you think I spent a bunch of time compositing a gimp screenshot to that level of detail, but refuse to believe I would spend even a few seconds compositing the original (with obvious 3rd arm and poorly colored zig-zag join points).

I don’t know what you think I’m claiming. I just mashed some images together, I never said I took them with a camera. FYI: The screenshot is legit. Also, you might be interested to learn about “merge down”, it really helps with layer management. https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-layer-merge-down.html

Yes, the base images are AI generated, but it will actually refuse to generate such an image (child endangerment or abduction).

I have no idea what that actually proves, as I could just as easily mess with the gimp screenshot in, say… gimp… (or I suppose ask GPT to make a gimp screenshot?) but here you go.

I wonder if people are mistaking my rough gimp composition for AI giving the guy a third arm…

I guess it is allowed in the sense that moderators won’t remove it, without a guarantee against an angry mob razing it with down-votes. :)

Having a safe passing-lane does not sound that bad to me.

I wonder why people downvote this… some kind of brand loyalty/emnity, or buyer’s remorse?

The beast and rider vaguely make up the “A” shape of the Arch Linux logo.

I suspect this is unpopular in the tech community, but if this were truly an unpopular opinion, then phones without a headphone jack wouldn’t sell, and they would be replaced in the next generation. Instead, it seems like I get fewer and fewer options each time I look for a phone at the intersection of qualities that matter to me (unlocked bootloader, sd card, headphone jack).

Maybe we need an anti-memes sublemmy…

An emotional-support gun?

How much red could a red-hat hat…

I actually had a use-case for a smart switch (I wanted it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time). In the end, I went back to a dumb-switch after a frustrating diagnosis, maybe I’m biased/lucky to never have had a light-switch fail, but I didn’t even consider it as the potential fault until I electrically proved it…

Wondering about those “making citizens” instructions on the wall.

lol… if they had a job that was ONLY writing unit tests, I would take it!

Kind of the reverse… more lamenting the loss of QA and SRE roles in favor of mechanical (AI) code reviewers and non-technical persons rubber-stamping an increasingly deep pipeline that change requests must traverse.

I know, right? Thermostats have worked since (and were invented some time in) the 1600’s, but now… no, no no… we’ve got to loop in “the whole internet” as a dependency (not to mention one’s smartphone, and probably a payment system for an ongoing monthly subscription). Even with the incentive of being continuously paid, they can’t keep it working, because it has gotten too complex and greed has gummed up the gears.

For a minute, I thought this was satire.

With that typo, it sounds like a personal insult. :)
