I wonder if increased heat or any other manner of fucked up weather patterns could damage Stonehenge?

Gigasser ,

www.euroncap.com/en/results/byd/dolphin/50011Seems relevant

Gigasser ,

Pretty sure you can bump fire even without a bump stock. Wasn’t there a “belt loop” trick even before bumpstocks were ever made?

Gigasser ,

Would be funny if this guy was found out to be closeted the whole time.

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

Gigasser , (edited )

I think most of the hostility is in regards to shilling of certain sites and services. Local self hosted AI is not likely to get as much flack I feel. Another aspect of hate is people generating images and calling it art, which…it is but, it’s the microwave equivalent of art. Such negative sentiments can be remedied by actually doing artistic shit with whatever image they generate, like idk, put the image into Photoshop and maybe editing the image in a way that actually improves it, or using said image as a canvas to be added onto or some other shit.

Edit Addendum: also the negative perception of AI has mostly been engendered by some of its more unpleasant supporters, who think of it as a way to make “irrelevant” certain groups they don’t like, and to take some sorta sick schadenfreude in the “replacement” of these people, which they think may be a way of reducing the power of these people (politically, socially, etc), and that’s kinda fucked up.

Gigasser ,

Might help to make tutorial vids for fediverse stuff.

Gigasser ,

I think the people who get up in arms over 3d printed guns forget that most people will never develop the skills or even have the prerequisite skills to make one anyways. It isn’t like you just plug in the printer, down load a file, and you have a gun. You need to learn alot of other things to actually make something functional. Things like ECM (electro chemical machining) is often necessary and a whole host of other skills.

Gigasser ,

What the fuck are the cops even gonna do with an MRAP. The vehicle is made for resisting mines and IEDs, most police will never come across that shit.

Gigasser ,

If you’re claiming they are bots, I don’t think that’s the case. Judging from the little threads I’ve been reading throughout this post, it seems as if Lemmy was created by some diaspora of Marxists from reddit after reddit banned their stuff. If this is true, you’re not interacting with bots, you would be interacting with actual Marxists. People.

Gigasser ,

That’s the thing, I think they’re all just regular people with more radical views on politics. I feel as if this recent fad of “dead internet theory” which posits the majority of the net is filled with bots, is really an attempts by certain groups to dismiss certain online communities/dismiss the idea that these communities are indicative of some sort of wider trend within society, which is really what I think is an attempts to gain control of what is seen as consensus reality online, dehumanize the other side, and justify the suppression/repression of certain ideas, opinions, and groups.

Gigasser ,

I will add though that FOSS principles do tend to align more closely with the principles of non-commodification, collaboration, voluntary contribution, community-ownership, and free access to knowledge, which “can be” associated with socialist or Marxist ideals.

Gigasser ,

I mean there’s probably other reasons Iran can’t really help the Palestinians. More practical reasons having to do with logistics, economy, cost, geopolitics, potential consequences/sanctions, etc.

Gigasser ,

Ehh tru. I’m just saying, that even if they wanted to help, they’d have their hands tied in other ways too.

Gigasser ,

Oh wait it’s not genocide because it doesn’t fit their definition! As if ethnic cleansing is any better than genocide.

Gigasser , (edited )

Might be a good time to arm up(unless you’re mentally ill in a way that will make you hurt yourself or make you hurt others before any actual conflict has begun). Just in case of course.

Edit/Addendum: If you have kids, please get a gun case and please educate them about proper gun safety and how to properly check if there’s any ammunition in chamber, etc. In fact, might as well take a gun safety course yourself.

Gigasser ,

Quick! Somebody check if they’ve lied in any of the congressional hearings about how their shit works!

Gigasser ,

I don’t know man, nukes aren’t a risk anyone is willing to take.

Gigasser ,

Oh God, imagine your braincells being used to mine crypto.

Gigasser ,

Might just be that nerve cells by themselves “experience” something when stimulated, but pain perhaps requires certain structures of neurons or even parts of a brain to be interpreted as “pain”. I’m just spitballing though since I’m not a neuroscientist or anything like that.

Gigasser ,

I mean if it has an effect on the heart it should be mentioned…in a study about MDMA’s effect on the heart…I don’t really know how 2 trials about MDMA’s psychiatric effects has much to with cardiovascular health. I mean, if you stretch it you can maybe say something about the cardiovascular effects in relation to anxiety, but that’s about it.

Addendum: somehow forgot to add “in relation to anxiety”

Gigasser ,

Lol, remove the book giving event from the official school Pride event. After school, have people outside on public property outside of the school give out the books for free. Problem solved, knowledge disseminated. I’m sure any local anarchist group would do so.

Gigasser ,

An image for your enjoyment https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/96c83524-f409-4db7-9384-c5d0a17902d7.jpeg

Gigasser ,

Lol, even the “own the lib” types I’m hard pressed to believe would do this. Alot of them probably benefit from IA in that they often pull stuff from there for their smear or attack campaigns.

Gigasser ,

How the hell can they know though???

Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails (apnews.com)

A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes....

Gigasser ,

Sounds like justification to not use gendered language. Might as well go full gender abolitionist on this shiznat.

Gigasser ,

I mean if you need help, you can always ask a neighbour for help. Would be useful if everyone had a mancatcher pole as well, as messed up as the implications of everyone in society having a mancatcher is.

Gigasser ,

Horrible shit, but might be the right conditions to conduct a study on how use of deep fakes can affect political elections. The results may be rather interesting and perhaps contribute to greater societal awareness of deepfakes, the context in which they are used/when they are used, and perhaps an increase in vigilance against manipulation by deepfakes.

Gigasser ,

You do know that melatonin can fuck up an adult’s circadian rhythm. Long-term use will probably fuckup a child’s circadian rhythm more, which can affect a lot of things way down the line.

Edit/Addendum: though this isn’t really the best study, it should still be taken into consideration, especially given how little research has been done www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6362935/

Gigasser ,

Tbh, it wasn’t as bad as the picture of that woman with the kinda lopsided eyes lol

Gigasser ,

Not random, moreso probabilistic, which is almost the same thing granted.

Gigasser ,

If I’m not mistaken, pure capsaicin isn’t even that spicy, it only becomes spicy when dissolved in something like alcohol and then taken.

Gigasser ,

No, it’s people who think accelerating the country into a hyper capitalist fascist hellhole will lead to the accelerated collapse of the capitalist system. Then revolution will bring the promised land to them. Of course they don’t realize that collapse isn’t necessarily guaranteed.

Gigasser ,

There’s the industrial age too. Which I guess you could also call “The Age of Steam” or “The Age of Coal” or some other thing.

Gigasser ,

It would be funny if you just started calling it coconut malk instead of milk. Literally just changing the word milk by one letter.

Gigasser ,

Disproving them can work if they are debunked by dedicated people. Education can work. It’s just foolhardy to try to debunk them if you aren’t some YouTuber who’s dedicated to constantly debating and debunking these type of people. If you constantly educate people on why this stuff is wrong, less people may fall into this stuff in the first place, prevention is a necessary and doable thing.

Gigasser ,

It won’t change antivaxxer minds, but it probably would prevent those who would be affected by their rhetoric, woo, and misinformation. Those who are on the precipice of going antivax or full antivax. I’ve learned that you can’t just think about changing the minds of those who you are talking to, because you probably can’t change their minds, but you do have to worry about convincing people who are listening into that conversation.

Gigasser ,

I’m guessing either copper, PVC, or CPVC. The worry about PVC and CPVC is micro plastics, but I think that lead is probably more harmful then micro plastics anyway.

Gigasser ,

There’s always the possibility that they’ll do a mix of everything depending on environment, though I’m not sure if there are environments where plastics pipes may potentially degrade faster than copper or vice versa.

Gigasser ,

I mean Accursedfarms of YouTube fame iis trying to get something passed in Australia which might have some effects down the line. Who knows…

Gigasser ,

To do that effectively, you’d have to make a popular movement for popular big name YouTubers to move away from YouTube and to some other site. Very hard.

Gigasser ,

I wonder what utility such algae may bring. It’s certainly very interesting!

Gigasser ,

I wonder if this halts the food aid going into Gaza as this gets investigated?

Gigasser ,

Better to have invested in a Valve Index I feel than get an Oculus. Might be more expensive, but I trust Valve to not completely fuck over their consumers.

Gigasser ,

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted, sounds like a localization/price/law thing, like Brazil and the price of consoles and games over there.

Gigasser ,

Even if that were the case, couldn’t the Chinese government just covertly get one of their companies to buy any such data from companies like Meta and Google anyways, and then request it from one of their own firms if they wanted to? Tiktok just makes it so that the Chinese government can (if they were harvesting American data) acquire it for free.

Gigasser ,

That and the steam community and forums are pretty cool too. Alot of tech support for game problems, community mods, discussions, etc.

Gigasser ,

The article says something about this tech being used to find any leaks that happen so that they can be patched and or used for methane collection. The collected methane can then be sold. Google would probably make money from selling this service to these fossil fuels companies.
