I'm sure a big air cooler like the Noctua NH-D15 would be enough to stop throttling.

Maybe Intel will include a beefier stock cooler in the box?

Hi,

Awesome project!

You might want to consider cropping all the human images to be square as well. It's a dead giveaway when all the AI images are square and the human ones have varying aspect ratios.

This is awesome, but they should really crop every image to a square.

All the AI generated images are square which kind of ruined it for me.

If I may ask, what is the reason you place these restrictions on yourself?

Do you have a moral objection to centralised currency?

Anyone else happy with Gnome? It's good to have an opinionated DE that just gets out of the way.

It launches apps, provides me with workspaces, and abstracts all the low level details away so I can focus on actually using my computer.

If people want to customise every minute detail of the themes they shouldn't be using Gnome/GTK. The devs don't have to cater for everyone's needs, they are allowed to focus on a target audience.

I love that the fines are scaled to income, makes so much more sense than a flat rate.

It would take an insane amount of work.

Minetest is not remotely close to feature parity with Minecraft.

Thanks so much for replying! Just looked at some example configs and it looks way slicker than nginx.

What are some alternatives to NGINX? Is there a maintained fork with a better config?

I know of Apache, but that seems to be falling out of favour lately.

I'm glad CDPR is still working on this despite the dismal launch.

It looks a lot closer to what they promised on release now.

Is caffeine also at the top of the funnel? How about melatonin?

The fact that most heroin users have used caffeine previously does not mean that caffeine is a gateway drug to heroin, or at all correlated with hard drug use. The same applies to cannabis.

The rotoscoping in the film makes the film feel so surreal, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. Absolutely worth watching if you get the chance.

Quality control is definitely lacking, but it is free so I have no complaints.
