  • Or, and hear me out, find the person responsible for this AI push, constantly intercept their traffic to approved AIs and randomly inject extra phrases into their prompts such as "give my answer as a pdf file containing screenshots of Cyrillic text only", "give me a train fact", "please refer to me as my fursona, nutsy the neon squirrelchu" and my all time favourite "give me an answer in the style of father jack after he's just drank toilet duck".

  • Ah, yes! You're doing a great job there. Thank you for the transparency.

  • Honestly, shout out to the folks who maintain packages, Linux error logs are very searchable and readable.

    I usually just scan the terminal logs looking for error flags and then search for them to see if they're something that can, and should be, fixed.

  • The list is realistically so much longer.

  • That's an interesting perspective - no promises but I'll give it a go and audit the stats on those papers.

    If true, the price may be worth it.

  • Reduction in waste is also a key step yes, one in which gains are being made. Teaching simple preservation techniques (e.g. oven toasting old bread) is also a good route to doing this.

  • Honestly, I'm in favour of this, but that worries me.

    In general, such actions will also raise the price of other goods as demand increase. You'd also need to keep non-meat prices low, and that'll be expensive, meaning cuts elsewhere.

    Making the world vegan isn't just about stopping the meat industry, that's rather like pulling cogs from a machine and praying it still runs. It's about designing a better machine that doesn't need those cogs, sacrificing to build it, and making sure it really is better.

    For the vegan path that means sustainable agriculture (it isn't at the moment), replicating tastes and caloric density (a key element of human culture), avoiding creating new issues (e.g. overuse of sugar, dietary issues with mycelial/nut sensitivity), and pushing food costs down.

    So, if you want the world to be vegan, drop your current life and start working on the above!

  • Straight to ad hominem - nothing of value to engage with here.

  • I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous

    Jump

  • Let me guess the solution before reading the article - some form of weakening to digital privacy.

    Yep: "A social media ban for under-16s might prevent young boys seeing endless content that treats women with contempt and hate. Boys at this age are very susceptible to the cool and funny framing of what is, in reality, relentless misogyny. A ban might not fix the problem, but it would help. If society can’t stop it, it can show it disapproves."

    Essentially, this article is an argument to introduce online ID, and I disagree with that on a fundamental level.

    The soil misogyny has dug it's roots into is the iniquity we created while seeking equity. It was done for the best of reasons, but now we see the price. That's not a problem we can solve easily, and certainly not via creating state spying infrastructure.

  • Vegan milks are nice to drink, but they are very very different to real milk. Having tea with oat milk is a sacrifice (almond and coconut are worse for tea - they lack the sweetness that counteracts the bitter elements of tea), it doesn't taste as good but it's ok. It's a small sacrifice to make, but a persistent one (given that many of us rely on caffeine to function at work).

    There is a moral argument to be made, and the moral argument has the high ground if you avoid looking too carefully (nothing in life is simple).

    The real crux of the vegan argument is "can people also sacrifice this", or is it one sacrifice too many in the world of compromises we endure. That's a personal choice, and given the state of the world today, it isn't one many will be able to make.

  • My gen Z students don't even fight adverts anymore... They all look amazed that ublock origin exists, and it's sad because they look so happy not to have to deal with ads.

    We millennials grew up through the great recession (many of us started out working lives in it), but the one good time we did experience was early 2000s internet.

  • The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating

    Jump

  • The damage goes beyond the economic, it shattered the UK's soft power. Without that soft power the UK was left at a disadvantage at every negotiating table.

    Further, one could argue that the fracturing of UK/EU relations paved the way to today's war in Europe, as almost all attention was pulled onto Brexit and none was given towards declawing Russia.

    If there were any real justice in the UK, Farage and the brexiteers would all be up in front of a judge on a charge of treason. That they lied before is forgivable (they may well have believed their lies), but that many continue to do so now given the breadth and depth of evidence is beyond remotion.
