Literally, in a “let’s not ask genai to illustrate that” way. Feeling much better now, but I lost nine pounds in a day and a half, and I would not recommend this weight-loss plan.

KPop Demon Hunters to Ring in Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve

No, I will not be watching. Not because I bounced hard on the obnoxious trailer for KDH, which I did, but because I’d rather scrub the toilets than “ring in the new year” with a live TV broadcast. My traditional New Years festivities include ordering delivery pizza, tipping heavily, and avoiding all human contact. Admittedly, it’s the same as my plan for most holidays.

Dear Amazon,

What’s the customer-support code for “driver too lazy or stupid to walk 20 feet to the front porch”? Trick question, I know, because there’s no button for reporting on the quality of a delivery. If I navigate through “customer support” I eventually get redirected to a 20-minute-wait “chat” screen, but the odds that an English-speaking human being will respond are… “less than promising”.

How to reduce memory use in Discord

I never knew that Discord was such a memory hog, to the point that it now auto-restarts when it gets above 4GB. I just got in the habit of exiting it after every session because writing a desktop application in Javascript produces a terrible user experience and is guaranteed to come with giant gaping security holes.

And you don’t want giant gaping holes exposed on the Internet.

Z-Image Turbo is so popular that even the amputee fetishists are rushing to make LoRAs catering to their specific sub-kinks. Kinda wish they weren’t, actually.

(people are raving about how easy it is to make LoRAs for ZIT, but most of the SFW styles seem to just be adding keywords to styles the model can already produce. I didn’t use any LoRAs for the above images, just long style descriptions followed by relatively short prompts (see mouseover comments))
