The sun will probably break down the plastic, then rain will wash that plastic into the ground/nearby water/river/drinking water.

That’s my guess at how stupid it is to use plastic for this.

EDIT: Oh, and the fact that taxpayer money was used for this. PLASTIC.

Zen devs were incredibly bad about messing with my workflows that I had setup for Zen. So much so that I eventually just stopped updating the app and moved back to Firefox to let them get their goals together.

I use Zen for small things like research and whatnot, but Firefox will always be the only browser I use for serious stuff like banking and bills.

Zen is better these days, but the fact I can’t get rid of the spaces crap really irks me. I don’t need it, and don’t want it, but it is a “core part” of their ethos so I am stuck with it. I just renamed it to … and stopped worrying about it as much. Still recommend giving it a shot for smaller stuff, but definitely not banking and the like.

Unfortunately, people in charge are children and get money for not making regulations. That’s the gist anyway. :-/

If you have your own yard and don’t live in an HOA, you can leave the leaves that fall in your yard undisturbed until Summer rolls around. It should give them time to make more for you to see next year, hopefully! :-)

Can you use any of the anti-bug spray you can put on yourself? I’m not sure how chemical infested they are these days so maybe you don’t want that?

I get them every year in my yard, and every year I am just as thankful that I get to see them. My friends don’t seem to understand why I get so excited to see them, but it’s truly their loss in my eyes. :'-)

Watched the JerryRigEverything video on the Rivian and thought the adaptive headlights were cool as fuck. Also learned his wife is in a wheelchair, and then went down the rabbit hole of their garden, factory, and elevator in the home.

Anyway, the idea is fucking awesome. :-)

God forbid someone try to talk about something in a forum, right?

Red?? It looks purple to me, and as far as I know, I don’t have any color deficiencies. :-P

EDIT: From the website:

The color: Yama-budo is a bright, fuchsia purple.

OP, you may have something to talk to your optometrist about. ;-)

Wh… who puts their own photo in a heart locket…?

Does anyone else find it odd that a lot of day old accounts make their first post here specifically, or is that just a coincidence?

Windows 98 theme? ;-)

Same people who looked you dead in the face and said, “It’s government overreach to require masks!” BTW

From someone who watched it from the beginning, Season 5 was fucking terrible. Full stop.

I’m not even someone who goes into watching something as something to dissect and analyze. The fan theories were much better endings than that garbage of a season.

Watch until Season 4, then pretend Season 5 doesn’t exist. It’s among Game of Thrones now. No one really talks about Stranger Things BECAUSE the last season was that bad.

I wouldn’t say you are SUPPOSED to, but it is called a LIMIT for a reason. I’ve had to remind that to people. It’s a LIMIT to how fast you are supposed to go. Going 80 on the highway should get you a ticket but no one gives a fuck anymore and most people commuting seem to be in a permanent rage induced mood.

It’s pathetic in my eyes.

In America, unfortunately, and depending on where you are, this could very well get you killed or pushed off the road.

People are rage crazy these days, everyone. Do not do this.

Since text is hard to decipher emotion, I always add emojis or emoticons to let others know that I’m in a good mood and am enjoying the conversation.

I don’t really care if the other person doesn’t like it, at least I don’t seem like a sour puss the entire conversation. :-)

Realistically, most of Lemmy. But especially when trying to back your point up.

LLMs are known to provide false information. This is why there is a placeholder text near an LLM “answer” that says roundabouts “AI can often make mistakes”.

Now, what you consider a mistake is entirely up to you. For me, and it seems quite a lot of Lemmy, a coin flip on information that it is providing you is not good enough, and will never be good enough, to prove yours or anyone else’s points.

Now, if you use an actually good LLM provider that gives you its sources (and even better, percentages of those sources), it’s all information you would’ve found yourself if you just took 5-10 minutes to read something.

I guess getting the LLMs sources and THEN reading through them would be “better”, but then you just used up 2-3 gallons of water for nothing.

Basically, use your own brain as much as possible. LLMs are not trustworthy, and they also waste HUGE amounts of resources for something so mundane.

P.S. Downvotes/Upvotes don’t mean anything here. They are pretty much opinions at this point from what I’ve seen.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but sharing LLM answers will get people to not take you seriously at all here.

Generally, it is better to just look this stuff up yourself.

I could tell just by reading some of the headlines from PJMedia they shared.

Gross.
