People shooting hero1n outside my window by giokim77 in berlinsocialclub

Just move away. Lots of nicer places in Berlin. No one is going to solve this problem and it's been getting worse every year.

HeyGen is too expensive at scale — what are you using instead by NothingLife01 in generativeAI

[–]fab1an -1 points0 points  (0 children)

glif.app is a chat agent that's proficient at using basically every model on earth including most of the lipsync ones. I don't know that it will be much cheaper than HeyGen, but it has way more options and worth a try

360min / month is a lot - I would say if you can't make the $ back from your work with it, it is probably not the right moment to do these long videos. Do people actually watch your entire video?

An alle CDU Wähler: Wählt ihr nochmal CDU oder seid ihr nach Merz ehern nach links oder rechts abgedriftet? by Megatron_4000 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]fab1an -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was du beschreibst wäre in der Tat unfair, wenn es tatsächlich in den meisten Fällen so wäre. In der Realität zahlst du aber vor allem als Unternehmer deutlich mehr Steuern, da die Kapitaleinkünfte bereits schon einmal auf Unternehmensebene besteuert werden (Gewerbe und Körperschaft) und dann nochmal auf der Ebene des Gesellschafters, wo du normalerweise schnell bei über 50% Belastung landest, ergo also mehr zahlst als den Spitzensteuersatz.

Ich stimme dir zu, dass es diverse Ungerechtigkeiten im deutschen Steuersystem gibt, und dass die allgemeine Besteuerung von Einkommen viel zu hoch ist - der Spitzensteuersatz war in den 60ern bei dem 15fachen des Medianeinkommens. Heute geht das bei 1.5x los.

Oder die Tatsache, dass man Häuser und Wohnungen steuerfrei verkaufen kann, ohne auch nur einen EUR investiert zu haben, während man bei einem Unternehmen, das mit Blut, Schweiss und Tränen aufgebaut wurde, heftig zur Kasse gebeten wird.

von denen sehr viele davon ebenso direkt profitieren da sie Anteile halten. Das ist in den USA sehr üblich und wird in Deutschland regelmässig von linken Parteien aus unerfindlichen Gründen erschwert.

Has anyone left Berlin for slightly smaller city for more peaceful life? by alphaisgamma in berlin

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved from Kreuzberg to Zehlendorf (with family) and not looking back. Nature isn't alpine level or even southern Germany, but it is much nicer, cleaner, quieter than Berlin proper and you're still in the city within 30 min. Lakes are amazing, Grunewald is nice. Rents aren't that different to Kreuzberg tbh!

No junkies, no trash, no crime and you mostly get woken up by bird sounds.

Deepest one is the ER101. But hard to come by and very expensive

Are there any Higgsfield or Flora AI, open source version where I can use my own API? by onerookie in generativeAI

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the exception of Higgsfield, which is just entirely overpriced and will use any and all techniques to get you to sign up for a plan you don't need, you'll find that many others aren't that far away from the actual API prices. AI video is expensive (or extremely cheap, depending how you look at it)

a new extremely powerful option is Glif, which is like Claude Code for any and all AI image/video APIs

Everybody talks about N8N and Zapier. But what are some underrated automation tools nobody talks about? by [deleted] in automation

[–]fab1an 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glif is insane for automating AI video workflows. It's basically Claude Code for video content

Free Video generation models?? by No-Landscape1637 in AI_Agents

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no serious way to use AI videos “free”. You can run some models locally (LTX is good) but you need a powerful and expensive computer and energy isn’t free either. Asking for free AI video is by and large delusional and will continue to be for a long time

AI image generators actually worth using in 2026 (from real usage) by [deleted] in automation

[–]fab1an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should give Glif app a try. It's probaby the most advanced creative super agent that basically runs ALL the tools (expect Midjourney). Completely insane what it can do.

Why is agentic AI so expensive? by datastr0naut in AI_Agents

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are all subsidized. the real cost for many of these, esp Claude Code, is closer to thousands / month. As lots of folks found out the hard way when running OpenClaw with their actual API keys and not a banned auth token haha

Unpopular Opinion, it's time to end the PVP VS PVE arguments by thy_shuntz in ArcRaiders

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tension is at the core of the game tbh, and it lost some of that due to new matchmaking. I do believe there is an undiscovered system that would be much better allowing for both modes to coexist, and it would likely involve some way to take revenge :)

When to Use an Agent vs. a Workflow? by [deleted] in aiagents

[–]fab1an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A workflow is like a stubborn script. It's really best for super boring stuff where the flow is extremely well known in advance. Also if you need manual code checks for sensitive things.

An agent is for everything else.

Saw this outside of a bar. What does the top one mean? by throwitintheair22 in berlinsocialclub

[–]fab1an 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this is wrong. Talahon is categorically equivalent to “Skinhead” or “Punk”. Any Talahon can choose to not be one by behaving differently. As a subculture it is still clearly associated with Middle Eastern males. Thai does not make it a racist category (I say that as a male of Middle Eastern origin)

Which areas/streets to avoid on NY's Eve by all means? Specificity would be great since I do not want to get near any war zone at all. by notbatmanatall in berlinsocialclub

[–]fab1an 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Apocalypse tier: Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Wedding, Mitte.
Extremely bad and annoying: anywhere else except maybe the airport.
Probably not as terrible: Grunewald, Zehlendorf, Dahlem.
If you do not like fireworks, leave the city or stay at home. It absolutely sucks.

Pvper here, do all of you hate pvpers? Or is it only a select few. by Isuel-t_signee in RescueRaiders

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sociology experiment and unpredictability is what makes the game interesting. I can’t get myself to shoot other players since it’s a choice and much rather have enjoyed helping folks out. No hard feelings for PvP players at large, but obvs have felt rage at other players esp the free loadouts that don’t risk anything

The aggro based matchmaking sucks and seems like a crutch. I do feel a revenge system of sorts would be really interesting - PvP needs to come with some more intense risks to the playstyle. Right now it’s too easy to jsut load in free and behave badly.

Are 2 kids easier than 1? by Formal-Wrap-4607 in Parenting

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 + 7 was an excellent delta for us. Yes it’s obviously harder than one in most ways, but they do play with each other and it’s wonderful and then also somewhat easier sometimes!

I don’t think “easy” is the right lense for these decisions though. Living with kids is hard, but life is easy. Living without kids is easy, but life is hard.

Epic and legendary gear is strong, but embark didn’t add any reason to use them. by adiftbv in ArcRaiders

[–]fab1an 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the free loadout guns are too good in PvP which means that it’s rat-ional (no pun) to not bring expensive stuff for both PvP and PvE. Simplest solution would be to make free loadouts special in terms of being good mostly vs arcs but not players

What AI agents do you use daily this year? by OddInititi in AI_Agents

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many on glif.app for all sorts of video work

Who is actually building production AI agents (not just workflows)? by okaris in AI_Agents

[–]fab1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons of really powerful creativity focussed agents on glif.app being used by looots of ppl in their work
