I understand and appreciate the sentiment but the people I'm handing them to are far more likely to be harmed by the 90° heat first. I am talking about unhoused and other people failed by society. They dont really have the luxury to worry about microplastics.

Agreed, accuracy and sources are important!

 

Dio's full list of titles and honorifics;

The Immortal Shining Empurror Diocletian, Primordial Leviathan of the Mare Cognitum, Treader of Dawn through the Forest of Stars, Dreadnought of Ithaka, White Ward of Dol Guldur, Sacred Son of the Wayfarer Caladan Brood

Which is a bunch of black metal band names cobbled together in a semi-coherent manner. The roommates and I also refer to him as "The Void."

FUTO has demonstrated other sketchy behavior. The relevant comments were collapsed when I opened the page FWIW.

Also, platforming Yarvin alone is enough for me to avoid FUTO. Everyone is free to draw their line in the sand where they will.

I edited my previous comment from "FUTO is Curtis Yarvin" to "FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin" to be more precise.

I was thinking ayahuasca without a shaman.

Have you considered he may be a relatively well-known figure in this space, thus generating additional interest that a less-prolific user may not? Due to the rarity of tagging a user in the first place you bring further attention when tagging anyone in any comment regardless of their popularity.

When that tag involves accusations of pedophile apologia or Zionist-washing without providing evidence it will receive negative attention regardless of the user's popularity.

Your suspicions regarding paid engagement ignores the rational explanation that he is simply a recognizable name. Those suspicions are further undercut by tagging him and accusing him of reprehensible behavior. You personally have increased engagement with your actions.

Please, by all means, provide us with evidence that Pug abuses his banhammer. Mod logs aren't hidden. If his actions are scummy or inappropriate for his position then prove it. Regardless of his popularity you would be doing a favor for the entire fediverse in doing so.

I think some of the dissent in the comments fail to consider some of the nuances in this interaction. If this specific kind gesture isn't appealing I have two alternatives to suggest.

I keep a bunch of bottles of water in my backseat and two in my glovebox to hand out to people asking for help at traffic lights and such.

Goodwill and other thrift stores generally have books for pretty cheap. Easy to fill a shopping bag for $20. I mostly aim for beginner level novels and young adult fiction and put them in the free neighborhood libraries. Satan knows we need more children reading.

I'm staunchly anti-genAI but consider other applications of traditional machine-learning less problematic. A purely local model for photo categorization seems, in theory, less objectionable to me. I'm sure models exist already but I'm purposefully out of the loop. Any suggestions for models I could look into? And just how much compute would something like that require?

Animals as Leaders slaps too!

Came here for more instrumental prog recommendations, one of my favorite genres! I was pretty checked in to the scene until 2020ish, any debut albums released after that I should check out?

3/6 today get wrulecked nerds

Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor's kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril. This swear we all: death we will deal him ere Day's ending, woe unto world's end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth. On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!

I very nearly shared Artificial Brain! Dissonant/atmospheric DM hits different for sure.

They definitely aren't in the same corner of DM as Ulcerate or Artificial Brain but if you dig avant-garde/proggy death I highly recommend Pleroma by Orgone.
