Exactly. Nah, we just gotta have man made monoculture everywhere, or a desert, right? So that, in the end, it just amounts to deserts anyway. Yay. 😶

That, plus all the obvious propaganda, dogmatic echo chambers, and people who misspell stuff voluntarily, or make extremely basic mistakes (“your wrong”, “its that”, “there logic”, etc) more than once.
Yeah so, the amount of meals is correct. But that’s about it. I mean, I can’t say about the taste, to each their own, but one kg of cow meat needs two dozen kg of grain.
That’s about as inefficient as it gets.
As for the leather, the industry doesn’t like products that last a decade, so it isn’t actually using the leather in such a way. Industrial leather boots last a year tops.
Finally, pet food is made out of discarded cuts of meat, the uglies, etc. But also lots of cereals, and vegetables.
So we could really afford eating less meat. It isn’t good for anything. Not for us, not for the other species (certainly not for the cows, that get often half assed butchered in a hasty way because of quotas and profit), and absolutely not for the ecosystem.
But I guess the taste is all that matters.
“I’m afraid that’s not a choice…”
“Can’t share item,” was the header. “You cannot share this item because it has been flagged as inappropriate,” read the body text.
FAFO.
We’ve been fanfaring for a decade and a fucking half for people not to see “the cloud” as a miracle solution, and to use it carefully. We’ve been warning that it is a blatant invitation to vendor lock in, that it is singlehandedly creating oligopolies, and that exactly this would happen.
Did people listen? No. Did they aggressively confront (or passive-aggressively ostracise) us? You bet your bottom dollar they did.
And now? Now they come around with surprised_pika.gif
faces and whine to whoever listens that they are victims, and that they couldn’t “possibly have seen this coming”.
No. They are enablers of abusers, they themselves abused anyone with even a modicum of common sense, and they brought this upon themselves a thousand times over.
FAFO. And at this point, reading such story fills me with the most powerful schadenfreude I have ever experienced.
How about blackholing google to limit the damage instead? And you could limit it further by not using services that you know feed data to google.
I feel cucked having google only get most of my traffic. I am an alpha male, I want them to get all of my traffic.
This isn’t about you. Your data is key in making other, relevant people stand out. Why relevant? Because they resist. Because they aren’t depressed, they are fighting back. And whatever the reason that drives them, they can be manipulated. By compromising their anonymity. By making literally everyone else a “known variable”. With your help.
Obviously, cash shops should be banned in games immediately.
Upvoted specifically for that last part.
Would it not be “additive burn-in” and “subtractive burn-in” or something then? Or “differential burn-in?”
the fact that you think the “G” stands for “Generative”
You’ve shown your IQ right there. No time to waste with you. Goodbye.
AGI
It depresses me that we have to find new silly acronyms to mean something we already had acronyms for in the first place, just because we are simply too stupid to use our vocabulary appropriately.
AI is what “AGI” means. Just fucking AI. It has been for more than half a century, it is sensical, and it is logical.
However, in spite of its name, the current technology is not really capable of generating information, so it isn’t capable of actual “intelligence”. It is pseudo-generation, which it achieves by sequencing and combining input (AKA training) data. So it does not generate new information, but rather new variations of existing information. Due to this fact, I would prefer the name of “Artificial Adaptability” (or “AA”, or " A2") to be used in lieu of “AI”, or “Artificial Intelligence” (on the grounds that it means something else entirely).
Edit: to the people it may concern: stop answering this about “Artifishual GeNeRaL intelligence”. I know what AGI means. It takes all of 3 seconds to do an internet search, and it isn’t even necessary: everyone has known for months. I did not bother to explicit it, because I did not imagine that anyone would be simple enough to take literally the first word starting with “g” from my comment and roll with that in a self-important diatribe on what they imagined I was wrong about. So if you feel the need to project what you imagine I meant, and then correct that, please don’t. I’m sad enough already that humanity is failing, I do not need more evidence.
Edit 2: “your opinion only matters if you have published papers”. No. Also it is a really stupid argument from authority. Besides, anyone with enough time on their hands can get papers published. It is not a guarantee of quality, but merely a proof that you LARPed in academy. The hard part isn’t writing, it is thinking. And as I wrote before, I already know this, I need no more proof, thank you.
OP is apparently speedrunning “blocked by all of Lemmy” any %.
Why would the countries that literally can MITM and censor content at the source would ever do spam campaigns? 🤨
At some point, use your brain… As with the freedom of speech, if you don’t use it, it will become powerless.
RU / CN / KP / IR (strike out what does not apply)
Yeah, maybe don’t take the utterly sadistic version designed by cruel people for maximum suffering, as a reference for how things normally work.
The only legal solution to commit assisted suicide, in Switzerland, uses nitrogen hypoxia for a reason.
As a matter of fact, the founder of exit international even flew to Florida before Christmas, as an attempt to stop the execution. Coming from a fervent supporter of people’s right “to be able to plan for the end of their life in a way that is reliable, peaceful & at a time of their choosing”, that should tell you everything you need to know about the execution. It was made horrible, purposely.
Yeah, I noticed. Wonder what it means…
So, OK, I’m willing to learn: please show me good brands then.
They need to resist to mud (thick mud, the kind with a ton of suction that will keep your soles when you try and move), seawater, rocks and sand, and pretty dense vegetation.
They also need to have steel toe caps, good soles (vibram or equivalent if possible) that don’t slip, and that aren’t too hard (wet stone is enough of a female dog as it is), and to go higher than my ankle.
The best brand I tried so far was caterpillar, but they lasted only 3 years. That’s a far cry from “a decade or more”.
