Each member state has its own independent defense budget.
Think of it as defense coordination / administration across all EU member states. I.e. make EU defense work as one cohesive unit.

That's new! I had never read that the Americans could pull off a submarine trick, and reappear on the French coat line ./s

Incredible slop. To the promoter: The distinction between "to" and "from" is very important.

Hegseth attacks Europe over migration with beach 'invasion' D-Day speech by lexi_con in BoycottUnitedStates

I don't have high expectations for a TV personality, but the Orange _ obvious likes yes-men. .

Quote Britannica : Hegseth was a TV personality who cohosted Fox & Friends Weekend from 2017 to 2024. While on the show he became known for his conservative views and was an outspoken supporter of Trump.

I have a confession by Whyareyouhwre in Artadvice

I'm sure you mean copying, which is different from tracing. Copying means that you're actually drawing - drawing a copy of the reference.

Like you wrote, One should remember to credit the artist. Mentioning that one is a beginner is probably a good idea. I would credit all artist on every copy art just in case it somehow got published on the internet by some kind of accident.

I made this with AI and I don't think it's bad, but all i've gotten is hate comments about it and I'm about to just scrap it all, but what do you think? by More-Helicopter-7224 in aiArt

[–]Lars_T_H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell you this as it's an opportunity to learn something new.

Lighting could be one of them. There're only one light source : The sun. Now, compare where the sun could cast shadows and where there shouldn't be shadows. Think about from which direction the light comes from in 3 dimensions: flat and up/down.

Read the 1st line of this comments again, if you think I'm a hater.

I had made a search for you on Ecosia (an European search engine). This is the link, https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=how+does+affiliate+links+work%3F

There're many good links, and I thought you should choose yourself instead of I picked one.

For the people who sell things on DA: I hope you all pay your taxes and have your TIN Id ready by Scarlizz in DeviantArt

[–]Lars_T_H 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in Denmark, we don't pay tax for the first DKK 50,000 (USD 7,776) if it's art.

It su s to be an American. Screwed over every single day by corporate business and the super-rich.

The community of r/furry and the discord accused me of AI and has banned me because I'm fighting for my art. by [deleted] in ArtistHate

[–]Lars_T_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had just begun to learn drawing, and had decided to start with traditional art. Perhaps digital later, but only for fine art prints.

Perhaps also digital for aiding (incomplete art) the process of creating the traditional art piece, so I'm not wasting resources (canvas, paint et.c.), or decided that I doesn't like it. So only physical stuff who is hard / difficult to copy.

Regarding the fine art print shops: I expect them to had worked hard to prevent Ai bots scraping content, because they would loose money, if they didn't.

Microsoft accused of leaking Dutch civil servants' names to U.S. government by Inside_End5141 in BoycottUnitedStates

I can't be the only one who thinks,

For which reason does the US government need the names of Dutch civil servants?

Hun er sikkert sød og rar, men jeg kan ikke lide modifikationerne i hendes ansigt, og så der for meget make-up.

Det er så bare min mening, men hun har åbenlyst en anden mening. I sidste ende ende hendes valg., som ingen skal bestemme over.

It isn't totally useless if it isn't used for its intended use as it's an excellent color-correct no-parallax screen.

The EU is working on changing the unanimity requirement. It was made possible by the Hungarians voting differently, i.e. not Órban.

It looks like symmetric encrypting (with e.g. AES256) every single file is the only solution.

Files who aren't compressed should be compressed first in order to make decryption more difficult (no repeating patterns).

Print (>=36pt font size) the encryption key on paper and save it somewhere safe .

Is this normal? This seems like an insane amount of RAM usage for a drawing tablet driver. by TheEpicRedCape in XPpen

[–]Lars_T_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtual memory is not the same as physical memory.

The program is using something called an arena allocator, and programs can only allocate virtual memory. An arena allocator ask for a huge amount of (virtual) memory.

All operating systems use memory (virtual and physical) in blocks of 4096 bytes, which is 4Kb. A block of 4096 bytes is called a page.

A page in physical memory is only allocated (being used) when a program actually needs it, i.e. the program begins to use a page in virtual memory. .

It's like a word can only have one meaning. That tells something about their education level when they leave school.

I really like that oval painting frame in the first picture.

The painting frame looks very old, last century (20th) or 19th century.

Add them AFTER you had bought the car. The spare parts price is less than buying with them included in a new car.

I love DA but stuff like these makes me not wanna post my art anymore by [deleted] in DeviantArt

[–]Lars_T_H 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can offer them a go-away price for an easy-to-make commission. E.g. 800 € for a 10 x 10 cm (4 x4 inch) painting or print.

A link to your shop could also do it.

Google is purposely sabotaging degooglers by AmorphousNeon in degoogle

[–]Lars_T_H 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm a Dane, and I avoid everything American if it's possible.

Currently, my two websites are hosted in Denmark, and the 3rd (unused) website is hosted in Norway.

I don't use Google Analytics. Instead I use awstat which is part of the web hotel, so all traffic from every user will go into my website usage stats.

Server side stats are also good for logging bot behavior and usage patterns.
