No tool in Inkscape will get this 100% right without the need to spruce it up afterwards. I would play around with the trace tool until I get a preview result that gets everything right, i.e. the edges - don't worry about the colors because they are easier to fix later - except the gradient in the ear and on the chest. And then you go in afterwards and manually fix/draw over those sections until they look like the bitmap.

I'm not anywhere near my computer so I can't give you more specific instructions.

Which tool did you use to have this post written?

You have just landed on the only angle that could get me to watch a movie about bitcoin: macabre schadenfreude.

I read through that last link and then the first comment is asking why this AI wall of text. There is also very little evidence meat on that bone. A user did this, a user got that. That's not receipts, that's just more claims.

The claims of censorship are non sensical to me. You can still post most of that stuff, just not on that instance. An instance isn't a democracy and no one has the right to be heard there no matter what. Your right is to go elsewhere. It's a living room sofa problem. If you came to my house and took a dump on my sofa, I'd kick you out too. As it is my house, I get to decide what constitutes a dump. You thought it was just a fart, I smelled a shart - you're out anyway. You are free to go sit on somebody else's sofa. Go somewhere else, vote with your feet. Sure, tell others about my tight ass sofa rules. You still haven't convinced me of your OG conclusion.

I'm still not excluding the possibility that there is something rotten in the state of Lemmy dot world. Maybe that admin is indeed on a power trip. What a decade on reddit and now a few years on Lemmy have shown me is that most bans are not shot from the hip. "I just said maybe Israel isn't so nice and got banned IMMEDIATELY," professed the user innocently. And then the admin comes back with three documented community violations including threatening the moderators with violence. Exceptions are rare. If you had a "no violence" rule, then "death to Zionists" would be functionally the same as "death to all little old ladies," a no-go. You don't get to decide what constitutes a dump and since the fediverse is larger than Lemmy dot world you're also not being censored.

It's the new protection racket! Lovely database you have there. Would be a pity of my model deleted it.

The people who fact check news for a living are journalists. They exist on a spectrum from dubious to trustworthy. You'll have you find some that you like.

While it is possible today to check a lot of stuff yourself online, you can't do it all. And if you are, you already are doing a journalist's job.

I was looking for something similar late last year. I dare say there is no good and FOSS solution right now on Android.

Is lemmy.world anti-humanity for banning anti-Zionists?

The quick answer is: probably no. You claim this is the case, provide no receipts, and most importantly don't place these terms into enough context. And context matters.

I don't know if you're right. You might be. I'm not excluding that possibility.

No instance is under any obligation to tolerate all opinions. Other admins may defederate, users may move away and block. All moderation decisions are shit. It's much easier to have principles than to apply them equally everywhere and without fail.

If they have indeed chosen to err on the side of what I'm going to call something like antisemitic caution and remove stuff more broadly than you are comfortable with, it's not just a question of values. It's could also be a reflection of their experience with this topic, the resulting workload, and lack of moderation manpower. It's much easier to ban all boobs than having to differentiate with each post if they're breastfeeding or not, to put this in the context of past moderation problems. Facebook isn't opposed to breastfeeding as a function to suckle our offspring but as the proprietors of their platform they can ban all boob related posts. And while this is of course within the realm of apples to oranges comparisons, I don't think it's justified to leap to the conclusion you did based on moderation decisions alone.

This is how so-called AI can also create jobs...

This sort of story isn't the norm. But it is a risk. Why would anybody in their right mind chose to implement these half-cooked tools in a production environment? You don't run a beta test during open heart surgery either.

From the way you phrased that, I suspect you already have a opinion and you're not looking for a reasonable debate. New account also just for this one. Thank you for rage baiting with us today.

Many reasons. The older one gets, the more stuff if not wealth one has acquired, the more one stands to lose. That has most people make a turn for conservative viewpoints if they weren't there already.

Also, as the Peter Principle in the workplace (I paraphrase: everybody gets eventually promoted to a position they are not qualified to do well) old people get to an age where they overestimate their worldly knowledge.

Getting old is shit. Your joints hurt, hair grows out of weird spots, people around you move to farms upstate. Things you loved from when you were crisp and shiny get swept by the wayside by progress. You have a lot more to complain about now because you also have more time for it. And you wait an awful lot at doctor's clinics.

Not all people do all of these things all the time but there average person will tick at least two of these broad boxes. There is nothing you can do really. Listen but don't take to heart the crap. I draw a line at right-wing politics and hurtful -isms. If my parents didn't cross into that territory I turned my head into an extractor fan.

When you were little, they wiped shit out of your ass crack and worried about you when you were sick. As a bonus they now get you annoy you. The circle of life.

The fact that this hunting tourism exists is more than infuriating. When people die it cannot be mildly infuriating; even when a-holes kick the bucket. So why is this story here? Which bit is only mildly infuriating?

I hope the elephants are alright.

Und wir fragen, wo der Hass dieser Tage herkommt.

About three weeks ago they have embarked on major changes to the mobile app that have made different parts of it useless. Their forum is full of frustrated users and all they get is "we will fix this soon." As I said, it's been 3 weeks. Currently, the mixer is broken so nothing can be finished ...

I am making music as a hobby to put in family videos and stuff like that. It's instrumental. I don't want to use bullshAIt. What are good alternatives to this no longer good app from Image Line?

Idea for a flag (startrek.website)

I don't have the foggiest idea where I could've gotten the idea from.
