Heavy Gemini user here, another observation: Gemini cites lots of "AI generated" videos as its primary source, which creates a closed loop and has the potential to debase shared reality.

A few days ago, I asked it some questions on Russia's industrial base and military hardware manufacturing capability, and it wrote a very convincing response, except the video embedded at the end of the response was an AI generated one. It might have had actual facts, but overall, my trust in Gemini's response to my query went DOWN after I noticed the AI generated video attached as the source.

Countering debasement of shared reality and NOT using AI generated videos as sources should be a HUGE priority for Google.

YouTube channels with AI generated videos have exploded in sheer quantity, and I think majority of the new channels and videos uploaded to YouTube might actually be AI; "Dead internet theory," et al.

But it seems like you only need the stagger and overlap because you’re using circles in the first place. Would it look worse if you just divided the rectangle into 6 squares without any gaps or overlap?

I wondered the same thing, but characters usually don't reach the edges, so I guess circles fit the average character better?

> Nostalgia!

Maktone [1] did some very nice chiptunes for Razor [2] [3]. This playlist [4] has a lot of good Razor ones, I bet someone was looking for [5] =]

Also, a lot of keygens didn't have to be used back when a simple hexedit of one value could validate the software. I remember that being the case for mIRC. And Sublime Text. I mean, it could be as simple as changing an if statement to if not. I use the same idea for Proxmox. It is quick and dirty, but not the way the code was intended. If you wanna go that route, a keygen is the way (a serial does the job). With crack, you never know what it does, same goes for keygen (wrt malware). I still love Serials 2000. A program which had all the keys and serials in existence. Which was a big feat back in the end of '90s when search engines were shit. It even had regular updates/patches.

As for the website. Screenshots don't show videos.

I have exactly the same Sony Vegas keygen experience as the parent poster, but with the song from your fifth link!

the funny thing with GIMP is: even while its a very powerful tool, it still lacks a good texting tool until today :-)

and having the source available didnt help so far either :-))

What does this do that OpenWebUI (or one of the many of other solutions) does not?

I believe you are referring to GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

For tmux users: you can use the lock-command option with something like cmatrix for a quick and dirty screensaver.

My most used function is probably the one I use to find the most recent files:

    lt () { ls --color=always -lt ${1} | head }
