- AI agreesset
- Let's ask it how to be less stupidererset
- You are likely not stupid. The simple fact that you are reflecting on your own behaviour and asking this question proves you possess conscious incompetence...set
- I'd let it go other than I'm both fascinated and terrified by it simultaneously too, and frankly it ain't being handled with our kids' futures at heartprophetone

I don't think I'm telling tales out of school when I say most of this community leans left. I'm a commie myself, though to my chagrin, I also have a techno-libertarian streak.
To borrow from Bookchin: I'd like to see affinity groups spread out from this community, self-organized and loosely confederated under the QBN banner. We already have a small one on Discord to that end. Let a hundred flowers bloom, and build your own.
That goes especially for those of you on the right, our own marginalized minority. Whatever your intentions, you've chosen to share your ideas with this community. I'd love to see how they live in a self-organized space among like-minded peers. I'd rather see more rooms than fewer voices.

I was so irritated by my first French Dip sandwich experience that I tried again, with changes. Quite a few of them.
First of all, the beef wasn't roast beef, it was medium rare rump/sirloin steak, sliced gossamer-thin after chilling. Way, way, way less time and fucking around compared to a whole roast beef.
Secondly, that baguette experience the last time really put me off. So, I baked my own rolls: high-hydration things engineered to not shred the roof of my mouth while still being able to survive having gravy-sodden beef thrown in them, then dipped.
Thirdly, I didn't bother with the caramelised onions from the last time. They added nothing interesting.
Fourth, I tweaked the gravy itself. It was much more of a red wine reduction sauce, made with reduced oxtail beef stock I had made a while back and froze in portions, and the deglazing liquid from the steaks, along with their resting juices. Sticky, gelatinous, hyper-beefy goodness.
Lastly, Dijon mustard on both halves of the bread.
Much, much better. This was fucking delicious, and I'll make it again.

FUCK ADOBE!
Woah. So these guys seem to have reverse engineered the whole Adobe CS and released it as open source. Probably heavy use of AI for decompiling and putting it back together in rust. They might even get away with it legally because the super secret source code was never patented so it could stay super secret...

- It's a bit glitch, but not bad. Sadly the print dialogue doesn't interfce with the drivers directly, so I can test output, but at least it can edit fairly well.Nairn
- Oh, this is regarding VectorCraft.Nairn

"Probably"???? lolGuyFawkes - Pretty crazy to see how AI is wiping out the software market. I've been dreaming of not giving Adobe another penny for years. Soon.set
- Haven't tried this yet but have been using compositor (free PS alt). It's alright but not there yet. Affinity is great though.set
