Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅
Hell, I could be wrong too :-P I've never gone in that direction - only adding a Linux dual boot from USB stick. That sounds kinda scary, and would definitely make it easy.
Well, damn. Thanks for warning me about that possibility - looked like more steps that included BIOS last I checked, but as I said, I've never needed the process.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: I should note that I have installed Windows from a USB stick recently, I've just never already had another OS installed and then going to Windows. Most of my experience is installing a Linux flavor for dual boot.
I guess I don't know - I think you'd still have to go into BIOS and switch it to boot from USB? I don't know about the rest of it, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't just start installation. Unless it's a thumb drive specifically tailored to take over someone's system?
So yes, you could reinstall Windows, but it would still require a reboot to BIOS to allow for it. Am I missing something? What's the big "gotcha" that I missed? I genuinely don't know, and since I am not an expert on installation of OSes, if you could enlighten me, that could be useful for me.
I don't feel like that's exclusive to Lenovo, fwiw. I have an Asus laptop, and it went like that for me installing Linux from a USB stick. It was a hassle and you're right that it seems harder than it needs to be.
I don't have any idea why it's like that, but it feels like it's a better option than someone being able to walk up to my PC/laptop/whatever and change my os just by using a thumb drive without any other hoops to go through. That's just where I stand on the issue, but you're right that it sucks for the owner/user.
Yeah, how many random accounts were made just by this most recent incident of spam across the fediverse? If there was a new account made for each of those spam posts? Not even talking about alt or abandoned accounts. These numbers are gonna be off because of that stuff, right?
I knit and crochet, so when I saw this amigurumi horror show on display I fell in "love" with the stitches (which are somehow both and neither knit and crochet)
(Sdxl with added details lora and maybe/probably the yarn lora, but it was generated while I was asleep, so I don't have all the details)
I would definitely order too many.
And I would love it 😁
Hahaha - love it!
Used a details lora and a rainbows lora. Kinda looks like bioluminescence may have also been selected, but that's just a guess 😁
(I don't actually know how much to include but I was really happy with this guy)

Hahaha - it's not cheating, it's using all the tools at your disposal! I simply haven't learned how to do that yet :-P At any rate, there's a talent there. Kudos
We do have an LLM that is fed a prompt (built randomly), which it A) uses to build a better and more descriptive prompt and B) to create a "headline" or title for the image. It is entirely silly 😂
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wow, beautiful! That is a lot of detail, enriching. You make some good art, man.
(I definitely need to work on my prompt building - compared to you and my husband, I sound like a caveman 😅 ) Loras are fun - it's basically what I use to make up for my stunted prompts. But it is a whole different rabbit hole to get into :-P
Very nice!
What are you using for the glowy? Is it just prompt based, or a lora? I recently got a bioluminescence one that it reminds me of, but I'm not the best prompt-smith so my art looks very little like yours 😂
This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won't leave SMS behind - we're that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…
I don't personally do the hosting, so I can't speak to that. That's the hubby's thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
