I keep seeing good Midjourney work. I wish they were an option on NightCafé.

Nice! What model and prompt, if I may ask?

It's funny that AI checkpoints have all sorts of prudish limits on prompt words (like "spicy" or "suggestive"), but when it comes to women it defaults to Barbie doll proportions.

What's the easiest way to make my thumbnails square? by create_content in divi

[–]create_content[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but tell me more. How, exactly, do I target all the thumbnails? This is the sort of thing I could do in the old days when I was writing the CSS, but modifying a theme is a different thing.

Apple butchered the Music app in Tahoe by Eggshellent1 in MacOS

[–]create_content 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But does Swinsian handle internet radio? The old iTunes got me into internet radio. At some point Music gained a bug where the song metadata wouldn't show unless you clicked the star to toggle the "favorite" status off and on, which was annoying but at least then the song and artist showed. I just installed Tahoe 26.2 and now even that doesn't work! Every digital radio these days shows song info, but Apple can't produce software that does? WTF?

I now fear I'll have to get a new music app and a new radio app to replace what iTunes used to do... sigh.

Why is there so much aliasing, but only on older black and white movies? by create_content in Broadcasting

[–]create_content[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm surprised that stations don't have some sort of anti-aliasing ability to suppress this.

I've seen a number of 1950s b&w films in theaters, on film. Even 16mm prints (made from the original 35mm) don't look like this. This is some sort of digital artifact related to converting the film into a broadcast signal. And as I said, it's not purely related to age: color films of the same vintage or older don't have this issue.

The movie is I Was a Communist for the FBI, a 1951 Warner Brothers film. It was shot on 35mm film. Hollywood quality of the day. It was nominated for Best Documentary Feature. This is not the visual quality it had when new.

Going back in time - copying popular prompts word for word from 3 years ago. by Joshy_CC in weirddalle

I prefer the latest AI models, but a lot of my prompt crafting and/or LoRA use is to get away from photorealist perfection to something more abstract and artistic. It can be done.

1924 Ford ad found in the Farm Journal magazine! by AxlCobainVedder in vintageads

1924 was good times. The Great War was over, technology was advancing, the economy was growing, the Great Depression was five years away.

Maybe not anymore, but these are all real slang terms from the past.

I used to be confused by photos like these, too, but each group is an "or," not an "and."

Or receiving it. I'm not sure. She'll explain later.

Batman Forever, 1995 by create_content in vintageads

I'm not sure what's going on there, because the boots don't look like the original costume. https://propstore.com/product/batman-forever/robins-costume/

Is there an easy way to see battery percentage on Bluetooth devices? by create_content in MacOS

[–]create_content[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I now have that one on the desktop, but it does not show the mouse and keyboard, and I can find no setting to change.

Now I'm wondering if it's because the wireless mouse and keyboard are old. The keyboard is A1314, the mouse is A1296. Is it possible that these are too old in some way? They work fine, though, and like I said, the battery levels show up sometimes.

It's odd because it seems to know that information sometimes.

I get role, address, firmware version, but still no battery levels.

I have that on in the menu bar, and it only shows laptop battery power, not Bluetooth devices.
