I think you need Steam for X4. At least, that's the only link they have on their website under "Buy".

"There will essentially be nothing left of America, which is trying to drag us into escalation. There will be no Biden or Trump. America is being inflicted with 95 percent total damage," said Andrei Gurulev, a State Duma deputy, speaking on Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, broadcast by state-owned station Russia-1.

95% sounds like a lot. Not sure how he's measuring, though.

"Today, we are quite ready to destroy the entire nuclear potential of England and France with a single strike. This will be one of the options for deterring the United States from striking Russia," the former tank commander added.

Firstly, I'm skeptical that Russia has the ability to reliably locate both the British and French subs at sea.

Secondly, I'd say that as plans to get the US to not escalate with Russia go, a preemptive nuclear strike against the UK and France probably is going to be pretty counterproductive.

I assume that early access games are in the running when they exit EA. Presumably, that's when they're at their strongest. Doesn't seem to me like it'd be fair to treat them as being entered when they enter EA, as they aren't fully developed yet.

What do you think the point is?

Robert E. Lee’s “excellent abilities” as general of the Confederate Army

Lee did do very well. Civil War history isn't specifically my area of interest, but I don't think that there's another high-ranking commander who one could reasonably say used his forces more effectively in the war. He had a heavily-winning record while fighting larger forces that were better-equipped.

He was also highly-regarded in his time; he was offered command of the Union Army, and commanded the most-important Confederate military formation for much of the war.

I assume that the 999 is just off-scale.

Do Hedgehogs Dig Dens to Live In?

When hedgehogs burrow, they aim to create a shelter where they can nest and sleep easily. As our spikey friends sleep for long periods, sometimes as much as 18 hours a day, they need somewhere safe to sleep without fear of predators.

However, while it will serve as their home, it will be a temporary home. Most hedgehogs only stay in their burrows for a short time before leaving. Usually, they’ll only stay in that specific burrow for a few nights before moving to find another one.

If they're removable, could just put actual floppy drives in.

EDIT: Oh, they're flip-down drawer covers rather than fixed panels. Well, still might be removable.

any tips

If I wanted to whiten teeth at home -- I don't, but if I did -- I'd probably use those whitening strips, which it looks like use hydrogen peroxide.

Coconut oil is what movie theaters use on popcorn and IMHO is the best use for it if you've got some. I used to keep a jar of it along with some Flavacol to get the movie-theater experience.

EDIT: I later switched to a mix of chili oil and olive oil for popcorn, which is not as authentic but can be misted with a mister without congealing in the mister and is also pretty good.

It looks like the $75/mo rate is for their "premium" package. Their standard one is $39/mo.

It looks like that's on the high side, but not radically so compared to typical American newspapers.

https://www.thepricer.org/newspaper-subscriptions-cost/

Digital Pass Subscriptions

  • Local/regional papers – $10 to $30 per month

    Example: Seattle Times Digital – $7.99 per month

  • National publications – $15 to $50 per month

    Example: The Washington Post Digital – $39.99 per month

Also, note that FT is British, not American.

Oh, I haven't played them for a long time, but if you have a gamepad and like twin-stick abstract minimalist shooters, I remember having fun with Kenta Cho's games, and all are packaged in current Debian-family Linux distros. They use 3d textureless graphics, will run on any system out there that can do 3d.

  • gunroar

  • rrootage

  • tumiki-fighters

  • torus-trooper

  • titanion

  • mu-cade

  • noiz2sa

https://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/

I don't see people often mentioning those, so maybe give them a bit more visibility.

Just wanted to stick something a bit more action-oriented in.

Tyrion is an old DOS shmup that was open-sourced ages back and is also in Debian-family distros as opentyrian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_(video_game)

I'd still play that.

Another old DOS game that was open-sourced is Star Control 2, in Debian-family Linux distros as uqm for Ur-Quan Masters.

That's old, but I think still fun.

Ozymandias (lemmy.today)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Inspired by this post trying to illustrate a poem, I wanted to see if Flux could understand poetic language in Ozymandias. I plugged the whole poem in. I think it did an okay job!

Ozymandias, by Percy Bysshe Shelley:

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Israel has requested that the US send a second THAAD battery to protect the country in case of an Iranian reaction to an expected Israeli reprisal attack, Channel 12 reports.

 

Thelsim did a couple of Tarot-style cards a while back. I also just finally got Flux set up in ComfyUI -- had started a long time back, and dropped it.

Flux is a ComfyUI model that's pretty popular over on Reddit, both for the quality and because it uses English-style prompts rather than just a list of comma-separated prompt terms. I remembered Thelsim's project, wanted to see if I could turn out a full set of photographic-style Major Arcana in the first day using it. Turns out...yes! Usually when running Stable Diffusion, I'll generate maybe 20 images and pick the best, but this typically had something reasonable on the first try. It's certainly not flawless -- there are quirks in the image, but for anyone else thinking about playing with Flux, I wanted to put this out there, because I was unexpectedly happy with it, especially given that I've no experience at all with it. I would totally try and get it set up if you have a local generation setup!

Text was added with a script and ImageMagick, not in ComfyUI.

To get some kind of consistent appearance, I appended to each prompt "The theme is magical fantasy horror. The colors are blue, white, red, orange, and black. The photograph was taken with a Nikon D850." I also used "Photograph...at night" on each.

Photograph of the Grim Reaper at night in a dark, gloomy field. The Grim Reaper is riding a white horse. The Grim Reaper is holding a simple black scythe. The Grim Reaper's hood only contains blackness. The sky is full of stars. The Grim Reaper is
wearing black gloves. The Grim Reaper is facing the camera.

An photograph of a huge angel in the clouds playing a medieval trumpet at night. The angel is blowing into the trumpet. The angel is in profile. The zombies are climbing out of their graves in a graveyard. The dead are rising. There are snowy
mountains in the background.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/b99ac2e5-a285-45f9-abc8-4267ae10398a.png

Photograph of a stern-looking young woman wearing a white blindfold and a toga sitting on a throne at night. The woman's right hand is holding a set of scales aloft. There is a longsword lying by the woman's feet. The woman is facing the scales.

Should really have a sword in one hand, scales in the other, but I wasn't able to quickly get that working; probably need more experience with Flux.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/3ed8cbe7-e97b-4f67-849e-19bd798caaae.png

Photograph of an angel at night. The angel is pouring glowing liquid from one large goblet in their left hand into a goblet in their right hand. The angel has a halo.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/18a9c09b-dcc1-46da-87d8-a0c09c851170.png

Photograph of a man wearing armor riding a Roman war chariot at night. The chariot is pulled by two galloping horses wearing barding. The horse on the left is white, and the horse on the right is black. The chariot is charging the camera. The
photograph is an action shot. The man is holding reins.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/4558e24b-0b45-433f-8548-6bb1873bb2d1.png

Photograph of the Devil at night. The Devil is crouching on a pedestal. There are two nude demons sitting at the base of the pedestal. The demon in the lower-right quadrant of the photograph is male. The demon in the lower-left quadrant of the
photograph is female. The Devil is holding a flaming torch in his hand.

It did look like Flux understands directives relative to the portion of the image here ("quadrant"). I wasn't able to get the same technique going with Justice, though.

Photograph of an emperor at night. The emperor is holding a scepter.

Photograph of a jester at night.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/28d2ab72-b90e-469a-a599-e1cad5992bdc.png

Photograph of a man hung upside-down from a rope tied around his left ankle at night. The man's hands are hanging limply. The man is wearing Renaissance clothing. The man is wearing boots.

The feet are a bit off; I didn't spent too much time futzing with it. Flux wasn't super-into having things upside-down, though it did ultimately do it.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/f052e1d7-c7cf-4ba2-8f9a-50b762e25186.png

Photograph of an old man wearing a robe walking on a mountain trail at night. The man is holding a lantern aloft and a staff.

Photograph of a high priestess at night.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/160c4575-c02a-4ccb-b513-6c60043d5b2f.png

Photograph of two lovers at night. The lovers are wearing Renaissance clothing. There are many fireflies.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/a0e754ca-525e-4674-8b0a-bec48748e7f0.png

Photograph of a magician at night.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/553fd519-ea29-4dba-9ed3-d0bf634c25fa.png

An photograph of two standing stones by a river at night. The moon is in the sky. In the lower-right quadrant of the photograph, there is a white wolf howling at the moon. In the lower-left quadrant of the photograph, there is a black dog howling at the moon.

I omitted the traditional crawfish. I didn't really like the look of it, and on top of that, Flux kept wanting to make it look glowy, which I didn't want.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/687826be-81ba-452b-8378-b81f58e9bfce.png

An photograph of a naked woman at night crouching by a lake. The woman is facing away from the camera. The woman is holding a jug and pouring water into the lake. There is a bright star in the sky. There is an eight-point lens flare coming from the
bright star. The sky is black. The photograph is NSFW.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/a2d42d98-2920-4eed-b5ab-5b807736d3f5.png

An photograph of a full solar eclipse with a visible solar corona. The Sun is black. The photograph is at night. A naked nude infant rides a white horse at night, with sunflowers in the background at night. The photograph is NSFW.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/43709bad-1a8a-4680-8de9-5cf58005bb5e.png

Photograph of a tower on a hill at night.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/9d308020-a83f-4b61-ad58-f47654e41ddf.png

A photograph of a glowing figure eight in the sky at night. The background is sky and clouds. A flying, nude woman in the clouds holding a wood baton in each hand is in front of the figure eight. The photograph is NSFW. The woman is nude.

I didn't really like the traditional The World tarot card style, and it didn't mesh well with a photographic style with all the disembodied heads, so I mashed up the oroborous and flying woman with batons from two different The World styles. Also, Flux was okay with up to three heads of various species sticking in at each corner, but for some reason was resistant to doing all four. I didn't want to bang on it more. Flux was determined to put some clothing on the woman.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/39b791c9-4493-43dc-bf86-4acc8daa1785.png

Photograph of a circle floating in the clouds at night. The circle is labeled with alchemical symbols. There are esoteric symbols covering the photograph. The circle is centered in the photograph.

There are normally some nude figures in a Tarot deck and I included this here; I didn't flag the post NSFW as I don't think that it's all that explicit.
