One of my favorite AI image apps is promoting Elon Musk today. Have uninstalled and left a 1 star review explaining why. Is there a site or someplace where people are keeping track of all these companies that are supporting the new Nazis?

    Consider not having an AI app. They’re awful for the environment and are mostly going to be run by Musk simps anyhow.

      As for an alternative, set up stable diffusion with a web based frontend on a PC and access remotely. It’ll draw the same power as a videogame for 5-60 seconds per image. At least this way you’re not paying someone to use electricity on your behalf.

          I don’t have a complete walkthrough for you, but I’m considering doing this with comfyui and tailscale. searching for details on those should at give you a place to start!

        I do like this idea to address AI specifically and it’s in my plans once I build myself a better solar setup. I don’t quite produce enough energy to run much beyond a tablet and a cell phone.

        My first goals are to get enough power to be able to run HomeAssistant and dedicated media server so I can step further away from streaming platforms. I’m hoping that AI is a bit more refined by the time I’m ready to implement it.

      I don’t use AI really. Hell I barely use electricity in my day to day life. (Spent the previous 3 years living off-grid and haven’t fully adjusted to living in a wired home yet.)

      I’m more interested in making sure the people who don’t deserve my support don’t get it. I already stopped supporting the meat industry (99% vegetarian for 25+ years). I dropped Nestle back in the 90s as well. I already know which major corporations and brands to avoid.

      I just am looking for something that focuses on our current issues.

          I bet it’s bacon. The siren song of sizzling bacon always drags me away from vegetarianism in the end.

            gag

            Nah bacon doesn’t even smell good anymore. The closest I get to pork is jackfruit lol. Cooked up with BBQ sauce it makes a reasonable pulled pork sandwich replacement. Even my meat eating friends enjoy it.

          The other 1% is meat I hunt, fish or raise myself. It’s rather rare exception and happens only a few times a year.

          When I was younger on a rare occasion I might try something that a friend or family member raised or hunted, but I’ve found people will lie about that so I usually just pass.

          In the last decade (not counting fish & hunting) I’ve known the name of every animal I’ve eaten and I or my partner slaughtered it. Nothing goes to waste. Pelts and skins are kept, organs are fed to the house pets and what we can’t eat or preserve goes to the garden.

            I misread that at first and thought it included wild animals.

            Which made me think of a moose eating your turnips and you glaring at him and saying “uuuu, Ricky, when I catch you Ricky…”

            You’re chill, that’s a good way to be. I wish I could raise my own livestock, mostly for milk/eggs.

          No. All the major search engines removed most of their boolean features years ago. Without that it’s a lot harder to find what you’re looking for, especially when when you’re trying to learn more about a niche subject (which is the majority of my searches). So sick of trying to search for something specific but can’t because search functions like “intitle” and “+” and “OR” no longer work.
