Yes. You can mix it with other oils. It can be an irritant for certain people.

Tea tree oil has antiseptic properties and anti fungal properties and is typically a component in treatments for foot fungus and other skin treatments.

Woah bro. Wtf

Why.

Doesn’t it make sense to fix and address these issues now rather than waiting for them to fester.

I can’t think of a more appropriate response.

Tucker Carlson confirms Russia trip and teases Putin interview (www.theguardian.com)

Far-right pundit and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson confirmed on Tuesday he was in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin, and said he will air his conversation with Russia’s president to counter what he described as pro-Ukraine “fawning pep sessions” by western media covering the war....

This is so weird. Who aould want to hear Carlson of all people talk to Putin. Carlson isn’t entertaining on his own and wouldn’t have anything interesting to ask Putin about. And Putin wouldn’t have any reason to answer an interesting question

Agreed. Trump’s recent rhetoric has been about dictatorship not presidency. It increasingly appears like a trump win would be the last election for a while.

We are the only animal with cultural locks on gender expression. If we didn’t have such hang ups about gender norms we would not really notice someone being LGBT. Paradoxically the more regressive and strict people are about gender roles the more people you have that don’t fit within those gender roles.

15 years sounds reasonable especially they’re making pornography of a minor and sharing it around.

A trade could be taxed based on the value traded. You trade 200 bucks worth of stock should get hit like you’re buying 200 bucks worth of jewelry.

Fuck it. Not buying MTG stuff again. Only a matter of time until cards are wholesale AI generated at which point you could just generate the card your damn self.

This thinking was brought up to convince people not to hold companies accountable.

Make it cost. And if the company refuses to correct the behavior they shouldn’t be allowed to operate. If there is no cost for bad behavior then said behavior becomes how you do business.

I wonder how much this compares to kids and tv viewing habits before household internet.

Yeeeeeah but I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of teens aren’t actually filling the majority of their view time with porn and trauma. Though I’m sure there is some significant porn watching, the beheadings part is far less so I am willing to bet.

Alex Jones and his conspiracy theories are allowed back on X (www.engadget.com)

Alex Jones and his conspiracy theories are allowed back on X::Elon Musk created a poll on Saturday asking users to vote on whether Alex Jones should be reinstated. After the majority voted “Yes,” the conspiracy theorist best known for calling the Sandy Hook massacre a hoax was given his X account back.

Elon Musk loses over 400 satellites in 3 months according to data from space-track.org (defense contractor used), and over 1,000 for the lifespan of the company (satellitemap.space)

I received a lot of flack in my other posts for providing this data in conjunction with his efforts to raise money. I separated this post in order to comply with the rules. reuters.com/…/musks-spacex-approaches-investors-a…...

Holy shit. How does that failure rate compare with other organizations? It’s a major cost to lose a satellite those things aren’t cheap in the slightest.

Tumblr sheds Post Plus subscriptions as the platform downsizes (www.theverge.com)

TL;DR: Tumblr is discontinuing its Post Plus feature, allowing creators to charge for content, starting December 1st. This decision follows a leaked memo about downsizing due to struggles in meeting usage and revenue targets. Post Plus, introduced in 2021, didn’t meet expectations, leading to its discontinuation. Existing Post...

Yep. A crowd settled back in after the dust settles from the porn bans. But the owners are still profit driven and you know, anything that isn’t growing by a huge amount every year is dead to them.

drdiddlybadger ,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

I’d agree on that. If they can drop the video stuff and focus on what makes Tumblr a good space and it’s unique features they could last a good long time and we can avoid the complete homogenization of social media.

That’s kind of fucked up dang.

Not just the abuse but the disconnection afterwards is fucked. And when there is smoke like this and that sort of disconnect there is bound to be other shit lurking in the background.

I might buy it. I don’t like the old pro pen honestly so I will check this one out.

drdiddlybadger ,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Why. No one I know is willing to spend money for something AI related. Is this corpo types thinking that small consumers are driven the same way they are? This is getting goofy

Apple is also trying to expand is advertising division. It might be nessecary to force companies like this to split but I doubt we will ever get such regulation.

Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?

I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated...

drdiddlybadger ,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

You should be able to but remember that aspect ratios and framing are done intentionally so what is generated won’t be at all true to what should be in scene once the frame is there. You’d be watching derivative media. Upscaling should be perfectly doable but eventually details will be generated that will not have originally existed in scenes as well.

Probably would be fun eventually to try the conversion and see what differences you get.

It’s pretty effective. You can bet more than a few hostages were caught up in the bombing campaigns.

Nightshade - A new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI (lemmy.world)

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models. Is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission....

@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

This is pretty much Glaze 2. It just intentionally poisons the data set with specific targets so model is more fucked. Originally it was just noise being put in and ultimately a image that had been glazed would just get tossed. With this, the image will actually fuck up the resulting model of there is enough poisoned data included.

Probably, I’m not an expert obviously.

The luddites were right tho

If you’re gonna use a new technology to churn out cheaper goods. Great. If you’re going to charge me the same for these goods and keep all the profits while still mis treating labor, fuck that.

The fuck? What’s the point of it can’t be cheaper.

California sues Chino school district, aiming to end policy notifying parents of student gender changes (www.latimes.com)

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday against the Chino school district, ordering an end to a policy that requires notifying parents if their children change their gender identity, alleging it is discriminatory and violates civil rights and privacy laws....

We don’t have time for school districts to be wasting with culture war bullshit anyway. This behavior must be penalized heavily. Petty tyrants can’t just force everyone to to live the same way they do.

I’m okay with this I only use them as one backup. Seems pretty reasonable with all the other prices hikes on energy and rent.
