“A Boring Dystopia” doesn’t mean everything in our world is boring.

It means we’re living in a dystopia, but instead of supervillains and the stuff like we’re used to seeing in future-dystopian media, we just get overcharged for bread and made to live in tents.

It’s evil, but in the most fucking boring way possible.

That was my first terminal-based usage of SD before I found Automatic1111, but admittedly they picked an unfortunate name as I’m pretty sure the name was already in use by an NSFW AI-gen art community.

I’m using it from Canada without a VPN, just using the email login method (with an iCloud account if it matters).

Very true, many of the actions taken mention whether the processing is being handled in the cloud or locally.

While I’m not going to claim to be an expert on the matter, it’s my impression that authentication & verification are limited primarily to downloading/updating software— once you’ve managed to bypass the activation and keep mind to avoid updating directly through the app, you’re “inside the walled garden”.

The patches involved in the crack prevent the Adobe software from “calling home”.

And just because alternatives exist doesn’t mean Adobe doesn’t have amazing proprietary software; outpainting has never been easier than in Photoshop Beta, plus they’ve developed a lot of really neat neural filters.

I’m sure it’s possible to recreate all of these features by installing umpteen extensions into Automatic1111, but hot damn Photoshop just works.

I’ve got it working using the GenP method.

Reddit’s GenP page has a guide in the toolbar (only visible on new.Reddit) that includes links and a step by step instruction for setting everything up.

A couple tips, 1) use the ccstoper version from a couple weeks back or earlier, as it has the required option to block the firewall (I’ve never needed to modify the host files), and 2) you need to have the age set to 18+ in the Adobe account account you use to use generative fill. I’ve used my legit Adobe account and haven’t had issues yet.

I’m torn between this and thinking she wouldn’t want to risk the hit to her reputation.

FitGirl refused to repackage her content out of similar fears, though I’m sure the thought alone of FG getting to make a “told you so” post drives enough rage in her to ensure it likely wouldn’t happen.
