I’m a tech guy, I work with it all day everyday, I love it and what we can do with it. But I also absolutely hate what’s being done with it. I love the tech behind generative AI, LLMs, automation, computers in general, Linux, etc. But man, when I see the shit being pulled by tech companies and governments, it makes my blood boil, and I’m genuinely terrified for the future.We could do so much better…

So probably a strong -6

It’s called a maryse in French and it’s a kind of spatula

Jeffrey Dahmer was just a hangry dude !

Preferably in an easy, maintainable way. Like markdown in a git repo.

Where do you think most of the world’s red meat is coming from? Brazil is one of the top producers and exporters of red meat, deforestation is ravaging the Amazon.
3rd world countries are not eating red meat, we are. The link between rich countries and meat consumption has been established for a long time now.

Most cattle eat soy, not grass, that’s also a myth. Simply because soy is a whole lot cheaper, and a lot more abundant and easier to grow than grass. Also, grass is only slightly better than feed, but it generates more GEG overall because of digestion.

We need soy, so we need monocultures of soy, and that’s catastrophic, just like you said.

Transport is actually not that big of a problem with red meat. Land usage and the actual cattle are. They’re the top source of GEG emissions from agriculture.

You were talking about thermodynamics earlier. Red meat is incredibly inefficient converting resources to usable calories. 1kg of beef requires 25kg of feed.

You’re also using a lot of straw men in your arguments, living in a grass hut instead of a concrete building, or electric vehicles for cattle transportation?

You can enjoy red meat but you can’t argue in good faith that it’s not completely awful for the environment at pretty much every level.

A few sources to support my claims:

The problem is not just the farts, the problem is the absolutely humongous amount of feed and space cattle needs. Most crops grown around the world are used to feed cattle, just like most farmland is used to grow cattle. That’s what’s polluting, producing so much green house gases, deforesting, etc.

No matter how you turn it, red meat is an environmental catastrophe.

I think it’s been bought by a shitty spyware company who swore that they will not be mining your data. I bought it many years ago and that made me switch to Kvaesitso.

Soothe headaches, destroy livers but no more microplastics. I mean, why not.

Keep in mind that these apps are run for profit, by corporations. You meeting someone suitable and leaving the app, means less revenue for them.
So they can be fun to mess around for a while, but unless you’re extremely lucky, don’t expect long lasting relationships from them.

What do you mean ! Women got the right to vote by asking nicely, so did workers when they got the 40h work week. Same for black people and civil rights, all was achieved by gently kissing the ruling class boots.

LLMs and generative AI will do what social media did to us, but a thousand times worse. All that plus the nightmarish capacity of pattern matching at an industrial scale. Inequalities, repression, oppression, disinformation , propaganda and corruption will skyrocket because of it. It’s genuinely terrifying.

Yeah, it’s started to roll out on their new hardware:

I’d not recommend Synology anymore, as they’re starting to implement vendor lock on their drives and NAS boxes. As in, you’ll have to use their drives for the Nas to work.

Swap the NASA and the Pentagon budget!

That’s a case specific to Chernobyl and Soviet Russia in general. We know they falsified a lot of data in many aspects, but that’s not “systemically suppressed” and definitely not something to generalise to every single nuclear power plant currently running in the world.

Voice and video are always tricky to handle. I hope you find out what the problem is !

Well you’re the one claiming that this data has been suppressed.

We do have the data showing spikes in cancer after Chernobyl and data showing on-job deaths for pretty much every type of power plant. And that data shows that nuclear is the second safest energy per MWh generated, by far. With, apparently, solar being the first and wind at the third position. It’s not suppressed, it’s there and it’s pretty conclusive.

"There is no data to support my ideas, that’s definitely because everyone in the world is hiding and suppressing them "

That damn nuclear lobby, shipping metric tons of uranium across the world on nuclear powered ships, digging, stripping, pumping every single ounce of nuclear fuel all across the world on land and at sea, with a complete disregard towards human beings and the environment, all for billions in yearly profit.

These damn nuclear power exporters, wagging war on each other to gain control of nuclear resources to build more and more nuclear power plants, corrupting governments, killing people, polluting the air and the water all over the world. Pitting people against one another on carbon free energy generation, distracting from the real issue of completely getting rid of nuclear power generation to keep the planet livable in the future.

Yeah, that goddamn nuclear power lobby and nuclear power itself are definitely the problem in the fight against climate change.

Pretty much, especially now with NextCloud Talk, which they are working on to compete with teams.
