Morning!Birbcam is up for a couple of hours, our power's out at 10am, but also our gardener is here so it's probably going to be noisy as he'll be strimming :)https://birbcam.online

(Disclaimer, I used to do stuff with MidJourney. Then I stopped because I realised that they, too, had training data that included people's work without permission.)If you're an artist yourself, you should know better. If you're an artist who crafts their own artwork from a learned skill, you should know better. If you've had other people or companies stealing your work, or work of artists you know, you should know better.(cont)

With all the constant talk of how generators like Stable Diffusion and MidJourney trained their AI on other artists' work without their permission, if you're in the art scene *at all*, you know. You KNOW. You know it's exploitative and infringing copyright and morally and ethically wrong. You *know*. Just... do better. Have faith in the quality of your own hand crafted work, and drop the AI. You have a choice not to be a shit person.

It's only a gargoyle if it spouts water, otherwise it's just a sparkling grotesque

As we are all no doubt aware, the fediverse does not condone, support, or encourage shitposting. Of course we are all familiar with this aspect of the fediverse, but I felt it might behoove us to have a little visual reminder, a digital signpost, to this effect just to keep us on course in pursuit of this lofty ideal. You will never, ever find shitposting on this account, or anywhere on the fediverse, really, because we all frown upon it.All of us.:da_giggle: (this is a joke, see below)

Here's the 'one last thing' I wanted to share, I've been holding on to them waiting for the OK from Esther as she's mentioned in the conversation. These are from the hachyderm channel in the Nivenly Discord, which is public. Kris asks in one of them that if they're shared, they're shared in full over the next two toots, and should be in order.This was Esther going into the Discord to talk after StrangeObject.space had silenced Hachyderm and linked to .art's blog post about silencing.(cont)

Done!They arrived about 10am, and just left now about 6pm. Four guys doing the install. We have 10 panels, five on the front and five on the back of the roof so should get good coverage, and a 5.5kW lithium battery. Alas they finished as the sun was going down so there was barely time for it to charge, but the battery did charge to 20% while they were hooking things up to it. We also have an app to check everything. (cont)#Solar #RenewableEnergy
