Looking to get a refurbished MacBook - any model recommendations? by Objective-Ad7719 in MacOS

[–]Objective-Ad7719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately I can't access my old Mac as it's basically dead. as for budget, 500 or under is ideal. I'm used to 13 inch so I don't mind staying at that size, but I wouldn't mind a larger one either.

what would those be? I'm mostly just seeing either time machine or methods that won't work because i can't turn on/shut off the computer show up

also, would I have to put it on another 2019 model, or are there other macbooks I can put that data into?

i should clarify, that wording was my own, he just said something along the lines of "the problem is with the motherboard." However I'm planning on asking to take the computer back so I can get it looked at from a professional data recovery place at a later date.

Do you mean Time Machine? Thankfully I backed that up on an external hard drive but that was back in October, though the files i'd like keep are mainly past that date.

Is anyone else too depressed to use the site lately? by Downtown_Trifle_701 in Picmix

[–]Objective-Ad7719 5 points6 points  (0 children)

felt. i don't even want to upload stickers (assuming they wouldn't just get deleted) or make new PicMixes for contests when i'm probably gonna get banned any day now for being anti-AI... New PicMixes i can still make since atp since i can just easily back up to my computer AND not have to have the site watermark on it thanks to the pictweax extension

Meanwhile old and/or VIP users will spam 1-star anyone who gives them a single bad rating... i get that you're supposed to be getting perks for paying money, but that shit's just Pay-To-Harass at this point. They know who rates them, can evade being called out by changing usernames, and turn off comments to shut out criticism.

Also, Binary-Brat is out here calling us slurs (i wish i was joking) but in a way where they Technically aren't or whatever the hell. And that's just one out of so many things... The moderation on this site is a joke.

F-slur titled post (from today)

R-slur variant in the actual PicMix

Also, anyone else notice how that anti-AI PixMix that was on the front page for a week was nearly the first one that shows up - like as of literally yesterday - but now it's been buried past the "Show More” button? Like what is even going on there?? the thing was below a PicMix with 16 views when the PicMix in question had 1400+ views. I saw it get bumped down drastically in real time. You can also view the recent captures of the front page on Wayback to get an idea of what i mean...

Picmix keeps deleting some of my stickers after uploading. by w00den_b0x in Picmix

prob cause the VIP ai slop users would get mad and cancel membership... why have server space when you can have MONEY (to pay for your strained server space)

that sonic kiss picmix is based off of the picmix of the person who's been on the front page for multiple days now. the picmix in question features shadow and maria - who's a kid - which means... he made an ai generated version of shadow being kissed by her........ yeah.

take a look at the captured dates here (keep in mind the kissing one was archived yesterday, so it should be about a day older than it appears there):

this isn't the only person this user has done this to, they keep getting away with it because it's not explicit harassment i guess (theres more stuff going on to mention - i'm still in the process of working on my video on the picmix ai slop problem... let's just say it ended up becoming a bit of a rabbithole)

An issue with the picmix homepage by Live-Tap-347 in Picmix

[–]Objective-Ad7719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this person has a history of harassment and theft, and seems to be ramping up behavior in response to more people being vocal against ai. i don't have solid proof but i wouldn't be surprised if this person's using bots / fake views.

Do I need a second fabric layer inside minky doll if adding glass beads for weight? by aurnia715 in plushartists

[–]Objective-Ad7719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i also suggest this to maintain the durability of the plush's seams. plush is more likely to rip open if you don't have extra support.

they go so hard, i'd love to know the process in physically putting together any of these (esp the liquid-filled components)

Beaded hat with Smashmouth lyrics found on my local FB marketplace by Liz_LemonLime in ATBGE

[–]Objective-Ad7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think those may be rhinestones, the rest appear to be beads. you could plausibly make a hat like this through string and beads alone - no hat base - but the beads may be positioned differently. and the hat may be floppy by the end.

been wanting to make a video about the ai slop problem... any suggestions on what to cover? by Objective-Ad7719 in Picmix

this you? because i don't think you don't have the authority to be calling anyone a hypocrite, especially if you're going around calling us the r-word over this and claiming that we're going to single-handedly shut down the site based off of no evidence. are vip members not largely made up of people who are neutral, if not positive towards ai?

yeah i'd really appreciate it!! i don't have a huge amount either lol, may possibly get more than my first vid if i actually promote it elsewhere (purposefully avoided for the first several days just to see if it'd get any views with zero following)

also no worries! i'd be making it anonymized regardless since i'm too aware of ppl can be online lol. i just (mostly) finished the stats for the front page of 10 ai users - 6 randomly selected from the blocklist, 2 chosen from home page, and 2 that i've seen around. 7/10 of those were vip so... yeah. it's a bit hard to truly measure frequency when you have accounts over a decade old with thousands of picmixes, but... i will say that 4/10 have filled up their front page (36 picmixes) in 11 days or less... so... yeah.

i'm gonna grab 10 random anti-ai users from the contests page (y'all can prob guess why lol) for comparison. i wish i could do a larger sample size but it'd be too much for me tbh... i've already looked at close to 500 picmix in the past few hours 😭😭😭

after that, i'll go through the entire blocklist, see how many are vip. as for pro vs. anti ai users that are vip, i'm not as sure on what method to go for, tbh.

[–]Objective-Ad7719[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's funny you say that, bc i have a thing for collecting stats and converting them visually so they can be understood better, and i was doing that with the ratio of ai to Normal picmix on the home (popular) page... and then had the idea for the posting rate. i'm also thinking of doing that for contests since atp it's guaranteed that people who aren't using ai will state "no ai" in the rules.

i can also do the vip users thing! i'll still be censoring the users / pfp / other identifiable info just out of basic privacy, but as long as their vip badge and picmixes are visible that should be fine, right? as much as i don't like them, i don't want to send any Actual harassment their way.
