Just to give some slight optimism in opposition to your friends, I am soon to turn 41. Its harder, but it’s not impossible. Whatever you pursue, form is everything. Poor form cannot exist post 40. Technically, I am stronger than I have ever been, and yet I’m still falling apart. Don’t consider the number, just do the work, and do it well. Good luck to you!

You say you’ll disable the ad blocker for sites that don’t push malicious ads? I’ve reported half a dozen deepfake “investment” ads on YouTube in the last couple of months, and they have done nothing about it. The ads YouTube pushes are horrible!

Ah well, this might explain things. See, I was 21 in 2004, still young with a head full of dreams, and a belief that I could change the world… If I found Linux now, at 40, then yes, I doubt I would have had a single year of advocacy in me!

I find that mighty impressive! I’d blame the folly of youth for myself, but I assume you were also quite young all the way back then. It’s entirely possible that I was/am simply an idiot 🤔

Not to alarm you, but you may have a period of 5-10 years where you really can’t shut up about it… it’ll pass, though, honest :)

Oh, hush now, of course I care! I’m just agreeing with OP that there is probably a little too much of it or, more precisely, not enough “other” topics of conversation yet. It’ll come.

Believe me, I get it. 20+ years of advocacy, though, have earned me exactly 1 convert, and that’s my old man. Who is arguably already a bigger geek than I am, and spending his retirement teaching himself x86-64 assembly “for fun” whilst doing a much better job of de-googling himself than I ever have.

All I’m saying here is that I can see where the OP is coming from. There is an awful lot of Linux talk (and Star Trek talk!) here on Lemmy. I can see how it might feel a little alienating to those who are from outside of that world.

That said, I agree with a lot of other commentors here that have pointed out that any new platform typically attracts the geeks firstly (reddit was no different). In time, I hope to see a much greater variety of peoples on Lemmy!

Hahaha, that’s very kind of you to say! I might have even pulled it off 20 years ago… Never say never, eh! ;)

Are you referring to those stripey sock wearers? Because I’m far too old to actually understand any of that. Plus, I wouldn’t even look very good in stripey socks anyway

Touche

I’ve exclusively used Linux on my computers since about 2001. At this point, I don’t care to see this much talk about it either.

It’s an operating system, it’s free (in both senses), it’s very powerful and ,frankly, it’s all I know how to use these days. However, I just don’t see the appeal of harping on about all the time. I use it exclusively, and I spend zero minutes per day actually thinking about it, the way a good operating system should be IMHO.

Some things being conserved is absolutely good. However, the “Conservative” government isn’t really all that conservative, is it? Unless you refer to conserving their own self interests, I’ll grant you they’re really good at that…

Oh and I am 40 years old and educated to masters level, not that that really should matter in the slightest. I do admit that I am pretty short sighted though, damn eyes just ain’t what they used to be. Thankfully I can fix that with glasses through our wonderful national health service… at least for now until the “conservatives” get rid of that too…

Bloody helfire. If I had $1,000,000 I would never have to work or worry about money again. I can’t even comprehend 20 million.

So I guess I’d take 1 million, and then stuff the rest in some charity trust thing that could help my local community.

All things AI. I’ve been hyper focused on LLMs, and stable diffusion, to the detriment of my work… I cannot focus on anything else right now, I go to sleep thinking about it, and I wake up thinking about it. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t like this, but tbh, in the moment, I really don’t care.

Absolutely love this! Amazing job!

You say “simply train,” but really, the training of these models is The most intensive part. Once they are trained, they require less power (relatively) to actually run for inference.

I hear your concern. However, the term “Daddy,” as used in relationships with men, has nothing to do with peadophilia (or incest for that matter). It’s a submissive term and is descriptive of the dominant partner in a sexual relationship.

I hope it’s clear from the picture that these are not underage women. Relax, enjoy life a little, you’ll live longer 😉

As per my previous post comments, I tried extra hard to get semi realistic vaginal positioning (that may be a new sentence 🤔).

I’m new to all this, so please consider this a work in progress :)

That time I came inside her while drunk. 19 years later, I don’t regret the daughter I have, but the child support payments haven’t exactly been easy…

You ain’t wrong, and I suspect it’s likely due to the prompting. You asks for a pussy shot and the lass is sitting… The ai does what’s requested of it…

Tbf it’s only marginally up, imagine her hips are tilted or something, I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I’d say the first of the extra posts is probably the closest to anatomically correct. It’s the most believable (as an obviously anime style generation can be…)
