  • Ultimately, the issue is our current societies being fucked. If AI were refined, sensibly monitored and generally used by people who can recognize mistakes (where it matters), and keep their fossil fuel usage in check, AI could be a big step towards gay space communism. Like, who wants to do menial labor? Let AI do it where sensible and pay the former workers the money that’s saved by doing that. But as it is, it’s mostly going to be used to further the agendas of authoritarians and capitalists.




  • I wouldn’t say they “hate” it though. XFCE-components used to be common additions to really lightweight desktops (IDK if they still are, haven’t looked into it in a while), because they can actually be used on their own (unlike most KDE stuff) while still being somewhat lightweight compared to Gnome stuff.










  • Are trans and queer people so bad, they make gay people good in maga’s eyes?

    The chief of Germany’s far right extremist party, the AfD (which is pretty extreme even by european far right standards), is a lesbian woman from Switzerland, and her girlfriend/wife seems to be some sort of “leftist” activist from Sri Lanka. There are definitely societal advances being made even among the extreme right, though it’s quite possible that that gets reverted as well once migrants, trans people and dissidents are ‘taken care of’.

    AFAIK it won’t destroy all the vitamin c if you only heat it for a short time, but they didn’t do “cooking for a short time” at the time, in part because you need to cook for longer to kill all the germs. Dehydration typically means either oven (often even hotter than boiling) or drying in the sun, and UV rays are generally pretty descructive so I wouldn’t bet on that method either (sailing ships probably tried raisins at some point, though it’s pretty much down to luck whether they figured out that it helps against scurvy (in the hypothetical case that raisins contain sufficient vitamin c)).

    There’s quite a few preservation methods that don’t involve heat, though, like submerging in salt, vinegar, oil, sugar and indeed alcohol.
