@⚪ the lynne creacher not that it is important for you, but I tried to setup bot with Friendica, but Friendica lags the needed API endpoint. Now considering to setup a mastodon or maybe Pleroma instance for the bot.

hmm, that's a shame. the bot is really only designed to work with mastodon, and it only works with pleroma because they've cloned the API

current project: a GTK GUI for remotely accessing qbittorrent

basically, if you have qbittorrent running on a remote machine, but don't like that you have to use the web-based UI and would prefer a native desktop app, this project is for you!

it's also handy if you have multiple qbittorrent instances, because you can switch between them with a dropdown in the top left

@Sheril. I love books. I still have an English Grammer book and a pocket Oxford Dictionary when I was in School in 1950s and another Grammer book which my father & uncle had studied, published & printed in UK, during their School days in 1910s!🙂

Wow! I've been a long time subscriber to Astronomy Picture of the Day and they are all amazing.

I must have become a little jaded though, because today's really made me stop, drop everything and take some time to appreciate it.

Follow the link to the NASA description - it tells a short but fascinating story of how and where the shot was taken.

I immediately had to get on Google Earth to find the locations so that I could see it all for myself!
Thanks to Valerio Monato for the dedication required to get the shot.

ChatGPT makes a perfect reply guy.
ChatGPT screenshot with the prompt, "Write an argumentative but persuasive reply under 240 characters long to this tweet, "Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Candles $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying" with the generated text,"It seems like your candles are taking up a significant portion of your budget. Have you considered cutting back on luxury items like candles and redirecting that money towards necessities like food and rent? It's important to prioritize your spending to ensure the well-being of your family." #budgeting #finance
Prompt: "Write an argumentative but persuasive reply under 240 characters long to this tweet, "I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (Oooooo)/ I am four eels/ Never meant to < 2/2 make your daughter cry/ I am several fish and not a guy" Generated text: "While the lyrics may seem humorous, they contribute to the obiectification and disrespect of women. Using a woman's name as a punchline and making reference to her daughter's tears is not acceptable behavior. We should all strive to be more respectful and considerate in our language and actions towards others. #feminism #respectwomen"
Prompt: "Write an argumentative but persuasive reply under 240 characters long to this tweet, "if your grave doesnt say "rest in peace' on it you are automatically drafted into the skeleton war"" Generated text: "That's not fair! Just because my grave doesn't say "rest in peace" doesn't mean I should be drafted into the skeleton war. Everyone deserves to rest in peace, no matter what their graves say. Plus, how can a skeleton even fight a war? It's ridiculous to think that just because of a phrase on a grave, someone would be forced into a conflict they never agreed to participate in."
Prompt: Write an argumentative but persuasive reply under 240 characters long to this tweet, "yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com" Generated text: "I'm sorry, but using derogatory language like 'small dick energy' is not acceptable or persuasive. Instead of resorting to insults, try presenting logical arguments and facts to support your beliefs. Let's have a respectful and productive conversation."

great article. the thing is, if they used a little restraint, and dialed in the settings to preserve artifacts like film grain properly, they could probably do a decent enough job -- in cases where no 4K transfer is available, and the best we've got is a TV transfer tape or, god forbid, an anamorphic DVD.

but instead they've dialled it up to Mondo Smooth Mode and created these garish oil painting monstrosities.

i particularly the result in this comparison here:

The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) is a large ground-dwelling squirrel, from the genus of marmots. It is found in high numbers in mountainous areas of central and southern Europe, at heights between 800 and 3,200 m (2,600–10,500 ft) in the Alps, Carpathians, Tatras and Northern Apennines. In 1948 they were reintroduced with success in the Pyrenees, where the alpine marmot had disappeared at end of the Pleistocene epoch. (Text Source: Wikipedia)
