I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.

Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.

Thank you!

Hey, please don’t use ableist slurs. It’s easy to criticize conservatives without doing so.

Not quite months, but definitely weeks 😂 Obsidian can be such a rabbit hole. If I tweak that last template one more time, then I’ll finally be done, I swear!

Nope, you are correct! From the Wikipedia page, which cites the standards document:

• Representations can be done in one of two formats – a basic format with a minimal number of separators or an extended formatwith separators added to enhance human readability. The standard notes that “The basic format should be avoided in plain text.” The separator used between date values (year, month, week, and day) is the hyphen, while the colon is used as the separator between time values (hours, minutes, and seconds). For example, the 6th day of the 1st month of the year 2009 may be written as “2009-01-06” in the extended format or as “20090106” in the basic format without ambiguity.

Haha yep, you caught me. I’m a fan of the unique note feature

And it is easily extensible to YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss to include the time of day

Thank you!

Is there a particular reason why Cyprus is such an outlier for being much more Christian?

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.

The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”

Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.

I’m glad that’s worked well for you! For the overwhelming majority, keeping their money in the 401k and continuing to make regular contributions, regardless of market volatility, is the wisest course of action.

Exactly no one will think twice about seeing you playing a GameBoy ROM on your phone, you’re good

I do! I volunteer at a dairy goat CSA, and I’ve learned how to make my own chèvre at home

Accounting. The advice given to me when I went to college was “major in something ‘practical’ and minor in what you love”. I think that was good advice. That way you end up with in-demand skills and a solid fallback, but by doing minors and extra certificates, you get to spend time learning things you’re passionate about, and you can demonstrate to future employers that you are well-rounded and adaptable.

Handed down or sold, most likely

It’s easier for some people to submit to authority and believe that the immigrants, trans people, antifascists, etc are the cause of all their problems than it is for them to accept that the world is a flawed and complicated place with few clear answers. It’s a mental shortcut, with often disastrous consequences.

I work in commercial and institutional building energy efficiency. I notice myself paying way more attention to the infrastructure that normally fades into the background. Stuff like “I wonder how big the transformer for this building is?” or “Ooh, that’s a hefty cooling tower, I wonder how much chilled water they use?”
