www.bfxr.net BFXR major update. I need to spend a *lot* more time with the presets of the instruments, but I was so immediately sold by the Mixfxr tool (that just overlaps two existing synths) that I had to put it live RIGHT AWAY. Try it out!

i think a big AI hang-up i don't see people talk about is simply that i don't want to talk to a computer ever even if there was somehow a completely ethical and environmentally friendly version of it: i don't want to talk to a computer

This makes me so mad because everything in the Framework Laptop 13 Pro is a huge game changer. They made a Linux laptop with MacBook Pro quality and insane battery life and then got kicked in the nads by RAM companies. Look what they took from us.

Remember how I said Live2D proprietary source code is used for AI training? Now we have proof. Hugging Face say they exclude non-permissive licensed code from their data sets. That is a lie. They have proprietary, highly restricted code in there. This is why Ayagami bans LLMs.
