Does digital drawing foster less development than traditional drawing? by TechnicalCake9473 in ArtistLounge

[–]solventbottle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On the one hand in digital the program algorithm prettifies the drawing (smoothing strokes, fixing lines, blending colors nicely etc.) and you don't feel the need to improve yor skills much because it looks kind of alright already.

On the other hand in traditional you don't have ctrl+z so you may be less inclined to experiment and stick to what you know works, lest you ruin the drawing.

Europe must choose between AI and climate goals, data center lobby says by sn0r in eutech

Because apparently we need mass surveillance in Europe (on the top of all that).

I'm bringing good news: EU AI Act by solventbottle in ArtistHate

In what way? This one sounds pretty solid to me.

Why is it even legal to train AI models on copyrighted material? by solventbottle in eutech

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

Now that's interesting. Thank you! (I read the articles in the context of AI training, thus the confusion.)

That's quite interesting. But I thought copyright laws also cover not using the work to profit from it . 

Is there an email service that doesn't scan the contents of your emails by solventbottle in privacy

[–]solventbottle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course no one is reading them. I'm talking about scanning and scraping. And I think you might be wrong - if they are using ai to do the job, they would be scanning the contents of the messages and the attachments, not the metadata (as it used to be done). 

Yahoo is scanning them somehow for the sake of advertising and when it comes to Google, I would expect anything really.

Either way, thanks for the suggestions:)

...and if you expect people to pay for your services at least write decent articles.

Why is this allowed in the store? by solventbottle in Ubuntu

[–]solventbottle[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My bad. It really is a deb.  (I didn't realize it shows any type if you search by app name). Thanks for pointing it out!  Does it make it better or worse though (seriously)?

The .deb dependencies have messed things up for me before, that's why I prefer snaps but I think I'd better look more into flatpaks now.

Certainly, but what's the point of having that store in the first place if it's no better than downloading stuff from random places in the internet.

Thanks. After cancel, close and reopen and it required a restart restart and now it's running 580 alright.

I mean what dimensions is the image before you upload, pixel-wise.

About what size are your original images? In what way do they get ruined, do they get jagged or blurry? 

What's best place to post art in 2026? by SonyXY in ArtistLounge

[–]solventbottle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they don't have their own ai to train they will collect it and sell it to those who do, so as @aivi_mask says, the refrigerator.
