I used WordPad for certain text files, because it word-wraps differently from Notepad. Admittedly, that happens less than once a month. I will only slightly miss WordPad.

And according to that very GitHub, you have to downgrade Python to 3.10, or create a sandbox. I wish to do neither. For me, it's cleaner to create a whole virtual environment than a sandbox.

I'm old school. Programs should not requires system-level changes, period end of sentence. I miss static compilation.

Miniconda drives me crazy and the one time I tried to use it, it changed my default python environment system-wide. I have been increasingly annoyed by Python's having so absurdly many fractional versions, and its scripts refusing to work unless you supply them with version N.nnnn.nnn exactly. (Yes, I am exaggerating.) Here is the acceptable pace to make incompatible versions of a programming language: no more than every 2 years.

 

I'd like to play with a personal instance of Stable Diffusion. I could install it directly on this Debian GNU/Linux box, but that requires a weird dance involving installing a downgrade to Python (among other things). Anyone know of a downloadable VM from virtualboxes.org or somewhere? Otherwise I will just roll my own, but one that has been optimized and tested by many others would presumably save me some time.

Thanks.
