Seems like Perplexity went all their way to lose their subscribers.
Here the comparison between the worth-paying limits pre modification, and the new ones for PRO subscribers.
Have created a bare-bones page on the Consumer Rights Wiki, feel free to chip-in and improve it.

Goodbye Topaz Labs, has been a terrible time together. Your change to a subscription model with bribes for "Founding members" has been an inspiration to find alternatives and part ways.

Since I'm having difficulties, and had them in the past as well, with OBS crashing when changing Profile or Scene, have created a script to change these values manually by editing the user.ini file.
You shoot fura-OBS-selector.sh and select your Profile and Scene.
Remember that currently, names of the files must be without spaces or symbols, included hyphens!
I'm using the Flatpak version of OBS, customize your paths accordingly :)
Also, feel free to send pull requests ^^

My entry for the ComfyUI's Challenge #9, Cloudcrafted!
I've called it... The Cloudy Luminescent Tree Path. :3
Generated with WAN 2.2 text to video, upscaled with Topaz's Starlight, enhanced with Topaz Astra , slowed down with DaVinci Resolve.
since I was constantly downloading the latest Blender Beta by hand, have written a script (with the help of AI, I will admit it, but have checked and modified it many times) to automate the download and installation of the latest binary :)
here the code: https://github.com/FraYoshi/fura-utils/blob/main/bin/fura-blender-beta-update.sh
During this month have been trying Perplexity, and it has already helped me solve a bunch of problems, especially with the "Spaces" feature, where you choose the model, the driving prompt, and the sources, which can be either links and local files.
It has also helped me with "little" quality of life scripts on my Linux system, created by fetching all the reliable sources I have at my disposal.
The difference I have found between this service and the usual LLMs, is that here you get the sources used, and if you do not trust (and I generally do not) the result, you can go and real the webpage/file, and make a judgment by yourself.
Let me know if you wish for me to create a step-by-step tutorial on how to use it for research purposes, and enhancements, like the video you see up here, where I added a prompt, and by specifying the guideline websites and documents, have got an enhanced prompt back to animate the girl correctly ^^
There's an offer going on that gives you 1 month of free PRO, and I cannot suggest it more, it's an incredible service, which I hope was local, but better than nothing 😅 as an added value, you do not need a powerful local GPU to use it ^^
Comet is their browser, which is Chromium based, and unfortunately it's not on Linux, but you can just use the service without the browser, as do I : )
here is the link to the offer they've granted to my folks: https://pplx.ai/frayoshi
Let me know if you find it useful, hope you will! : )
Gonna experiment something I have not done in years.. Your are gonna find me in live on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok at the same time 😉

Perplexity does not let you export your data, but if you live in Europe, you can request it anyway appealing to the GDPR.
It takes over a month to have your data, but once you do... you notice that they give you a json, an excel file, and an assets directory.
My wanted use case, was to have the conversations in a readable format, and in particular, wanted to import some of them into my Obsidian vault.
Have so generated a script to convert these exports into markdown files.
Unfortunately, they do not give us the references used to generate the responses on the GDPR export... which are present when exporting from the web interface. Massively disappointed on that... It's one of the main reasons why I use their service... references 😅 have so made the script remove those empty links`[n]`.
The script was created making massive use of AI, but it works, and have made it so it is an easily usable script. It uses the uv python package manager.
It's on version 0.0.1 so super experimental, but has already converted successfully all my 626 notes. (except for assets, need to work on that part)
feel free to clone it, modify it, improve it 🙂

HIIII 👋😄
Still rough, but today I've set up my first working bridge between Discord and Telegram, now you can send and receive messages in any one of them ✌️
just, for the moment Telegram cannot communicate with the other channels on Discord, hope to find a way to fix it! If you know a way, I'm all hears 😄
I'm using matterbridge for the bridging.

folks, have just found out about a comprehensive and community enhanced guide to git!
I had no idea it existed! It's on book, ebook, web, and repo version! And... under CC-BY-SA license!
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
found a bug on Blender about modeling slowdowns, anybody has a solution?

Seems like I've fixed my unresolvable bad printing problem: I was slicing for the wrong nozzle 🤣

Blender Beta has been upgraded to Release Candidate!
It's a happy moment, the official release is near!! 😍
Since the beta script is no longer working because a beta no longer exists, have written another, you can use this one to stay up to date with the latest available Release Candidate version! 😄
