Est-ce que quelqu'un saurait me dire s'il s'agit de musique faite par #IA :

youtube.com/watch?v=ccHKQ1X-HX

Je ne trouve rien sur l'artiste et tout me laisse penser qu'il s'agit d'un "faux artiste" généré par une corpo de l'industrie musicale pour générer de l'engagement.

Est-ce qu'à l'écoute ça s'entend ? Est-ce que quelque chose dans la composition trahi l'#IA comme ça le fait souvent avec des image ainsi généré ?

Am I the only one who finds streamers who use the "royal we" (i.e. all of them) incredibly condescending? They're doing it to increase engagement, trick you into feeling like you're part of their stream, right? Last time anyone tried to engage me with the "royal we", I was in kindergarten!

My daughter (13) wants to take notes on her tablet in school, but so far, every app i see is a data-security nightmare and needs constant internet connection.

They all seem to exclusively safe the files on the companies server accessed by the app. Some even use AI.
Not really what i want my child to use for stuff she writes in school, let alone a diary😨.

Isn't there any android compatible app (handwriting possible) that can safe the files on the device?

Hello #Inkscape friends! ^__^

Is it possible to change the edge / point that is scaled from and to when using the inputs in the top bar or the Transform tab?

It seems to always use the upper left corner, but e.g. Scribus / Illustrator have a function where you can change that, does this exist for Inkscape?

I am looking for the name of a book that was used at school while I am growing up, but I only recall part of the plot. The plot involved a few African American children who went to live with a relative in mid 20th century America. The relative had some connections to the Black Panthers, and the children were ostracized in public at times, one time for picking out a large chicken from a store. I don't have any other details to go off of here. Does anyone recognize what book this is?

Another thing i am unable to find while using #Pixelfed via Browser on my Smartphone :

I can not see anywhere:
-My comments
-what i liked or boosted
-marked/safed posts.

There are no buttons, pages, sides on my profile or anywhere.
Is that different on desktop?

If i cannot access the list of marked posts/boosts on my phone... That'd be strange, since i think that Pixelfed is optimized for Smartphone?! (is it not?).

I'm reading The Lost Princess by #GeorgeMacDonald and in one paragraph he starts off by saying that there is a fire made of fir-wood and by the end of the paragraph refers to it as a peat fire.

#ChatGPT informs me that fir-wood is fast burning and was often used in #Scotland to get a fire started while peat was long-burning and thus would be added to the fire thereafter.

It seems logical, but ChatGPT has also struggled to provide me with clear references to this information.

Curious if anyone is familiar with whether this was/is so? I'd like something to depend upon beyond the words of generative AI. 😂

Serious q. for all queer folk, esp fellow trans girlies: what risks do I run posting face-blurred selfies/photos of myself?

My only thought is association at protests etc, but I don't go to any, so...

I just wanna share cute outfits and photos without feeling like I need an alt. Not authentic...

Would love any feedback RE: AI and related Deepfake etc stuff, or cybersec/opsec folks info perhaps?

My many thanks! :neofox:
