It still probably tastes more like pesto than what you get in a jar from the supermarket

Unrelated but if anyone wants to try pesto 2.0, sub the basil for wild garlic and half the pine nuts for cashews, it’s a delightful taste sensation.

Tinkering and DIY for days

I did some experimenting - I can’t sleep above 67 at most, 65 comfortably.

Anything above 68 is too hot generally indoors and I begin to lose the ability to focus.

I don’t have AC but my house is from the 1860s when people had fires running pretty much nonstop so is designed to keep cool, so even when it’s 80+ outdoors the indoor temperature rarely goes above 70

If I’m driving, almost always, the exception being if it’s a highway off ramp I’ll indicate to go into the off ramp lane, then stop indicating as it should be clear.

If I’m cycling then very rarely, as the position in the lane or lane you’re in is far more noticeable than if you’re driving, so I’ll only stick my hand out to indicate if I have to merge into traffic to turn (eg a right turn from a single lane road, or to get into the turn lane to begin with)

That study is for notetaking though, as you copy verbatim when typing but more concisely when writing, making you process the information and not just the words.

When you’re doing something that requires thought anyway, you’re already processing the information so they’re equally good?

The UK manufacturing sector for raw materials and basic products was on the way out anyway due to costs being so low in Asia, so it was more to be able to shut it down and save the government from needing to bail it out while also destroying labour unions while they were at it, hence why the advanced manufacturers (JCB, Rolls Royce, etc.) were largely unaffected

I’ve even seen van gogh paintings get wrongly labeled

That’s way less surprising than an indie artist’s art being wrongly labelled. It’s nothing about the quality, just that van gogh paintings are likely to be very overrepresented in the training dataset

I can understand that if you’re from a seal-on-bedsheet state, but I’d figure especially at the moment democrats in Maryland, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado (I definitely saw a lot of state flags alone in Denver), California, Hawaii etc. have a lot of reasons to prefer their actually nice flags

In England there’s two flags, a flag for if you’re racist (English flag, except if there’s a major sporting event), and the British flag for if you’re proud of your country in a non racist way

Does it work the same way in the more reasonable US states with the state vs national flag?

If it’s Hirevue, I stopped bothering after 5 or so, I’d never got through one and yet managed to get through every single HR phone screen etc.

It depends if it’s AI grading it or not I guess, as AI has no understanding of nuance so will just accept a very narrow range of similar candidates

only if chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib returns a nonzero status code right?

woe is me, a news source that wants to remain independent of outside interests is taking steps to avoid having to get funded by big businesses or the government who’ll want to set an agenda…

I’d be more concerned about reading something free and not ad-supported (and like it or not, untargeted ads are next to worthless), as the money has to be coming from somewhere

It’s only whataboutism if you avoid answering. I gave examples of other times where self-imposed rules were blatantly broken while those who broke the rules claimed no wrongdoing.

You’re actually the one using whataboutisms as you’re calling out similar communities as problematic without actually addressing the near-identical issues with Hexbear (additionally many of those communities have rules against direct links, unlike those on Hexbear).

Additionally, the reason there’s no proof Hexbear users are behind brigading is because they’re defederated at the moment - Hexbear users can’t vote on other instances, hence me saying it’ll be an issue when they re-enable federation. Going back a few months, I have seen a large number of posts with sensible debate being downvoted and a disproportionate number of comments from Hexbear users, checked “The Dunk Tank” (slop’s predecessor) and sure enough there’s a post linking directly to it.

And the US doesn’t torture prisoners. And Russia didn’t invade Ukraine. And nothing happened in China on 4th June 1989…

The rules are completely unenforced, and also generally don’t apply for actions against people on other instances. Take a look at slop as the biggest example where they link to other instances and swathes of Hexbear users go brigade that post without even taking the time to factcheck, and look around at their other communities and you’ll find plenty of similar ones.

Hexbear is a tankie instance that celebrates & encourages doxing, trolling & personal attacks and has large communities dedicated to brigading.

They disabled federation due to technical issues regarding domain registration but are planning on re-enabling it once it’s fixed

I think the different instances help with that, as it encourages at least some interaction outside of your direct bubble…

That said when Hexbear re-enable federation I very much doubt “open discourse” or “actual conversation” will be the results

Of course there wasn’t really much to do outside of the farming season though, so I bet those 150 work days were something like 20h long during lambing, ploughing, sewing and harvest seasons

It’s not evil, you’re providing a service by offering the product in a more familar environment to people, but still it’d be good to be transparent about it rather than pretending you’re the seller

Fingers crossed they double fault at least once in their 24 service points, although I imagine they wouldn’t even use second serve power against some bozo
