Idk making libertarians develop empathy seems pretty radical.

- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 1 week ago:
Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
Same reason it’s not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.
- Comment on Change my Mind 1 week ago:
Debate isn’t effective, and its main purpose is theatrical. It is basically the modern day equivalent of gladiator fights, except with the side effect that it platforms and legitimises the opinions of the participants, no matter how extreme.
There is now mountains of scientific evidence showing the debates have limited to no effect at changing people’s minds. Instead, simply making friends and spending time with different perspective is effective.

Low key this is a great way to convince people to switch away from fossil fuels.
Most people seemingly don’t know that coal/gas stations work by essentially boiling water. Most are horrified at how trashy and underdeveloped the concept is compared to high tech alternatives like solar, wind, or hydro.

Hot take: macOS, being Unix like, fosters more tech literacy than Windows.
It’s much better now with windows terminal and winget, but a decade or so ago even basic things like installing python and adding it to PATH were infinitely easier on Unix-like environments.
For those privileged to have programming classes, the first 2-3 sessions were the teachers going round doing tech support just to install python on shitty locked down Windows laptops.
Windows being terrible makes you learn a lot of stuff, but so much of it is untransferrable.

- Comment on a minor to moderate amount of tomfoolery in construction 1 month ago:
Reminds me how whenever someone makes a realistic Australian city in cities skylines, everyone in the comments roasts them for adding stop signs/signals on highway ramps, which extremely dangerous and inefficient.
They really do have stop signs/signals on highway ramps in Australia 😭
- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 2 months ago:
Thee following are more little/no dialogue for the purposes of Immersion, rather than subtitled
Tunica is an unapologetically difficult isometric action/puzzle game
Animal Well is a metroidvania with little/no dialogue

Except that as part of its enshittification Spotify has intentionally changed its algo to push people into more and more homogenous “beige”, nothing music. It has become so prolific that Spotifycore has become a term to describe what happens when you let Spotify autoplay.
With the rise of AI, Spotify is now producing and recommending beige music that is produced on an industrial scale, at the expense of actual artists.

He was probably just caught up in the satanic panic against Pokémon in the 90s.
The situation was so serious that the Vatican had to “bless” the Pokémon 2000 movie in an attempt to tell evangelicals to chill.

I think this is being overly judgemental. He originally created his reputation by going to war against Pantone, a company which holds a near monopoly on colours. At first it was patches to get Adobe to use colours it locked users out of, which he then expanded into Freetone, a colour palette that is free for anyone except Adobe.
Looking at his other behaviour (such as legally changing his name to Amish Kapoor to piss off Anish Kapoor who sued him for colour infringement) suggests that he’s messy, rather than a grifter.

Tbh it’s probably less of an Adobe problem and more due to the absolute mess that is PDF annotations.
Despite being a defined open standard, most free PDF viewers either don’t support them (zathura etc), or fuck them up (GNOME evince). Even some of the viewers that do support them like Okular need extra configuration.
Unironically Firefox as a PDF viewer actually has the best support for PDF annotations.

- Comment on How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines? 3 months ago:
If your online content is audio or video then you can replace the default subtitle track with nonsense. This is because AI scrapers generally only check the default subtitle track to understand audio or video.
The process would be more difficult with text or image content, but you can still apply the same principles.

- Comment on Is This Social Media? 3 months ago:
I don’t think the any interaction definition is too broad at all. Primitive forms of social media such as mailing lists and forum threads form are very similar in functionality to simply following hashtags, or I guess whatever the algorithms suggest.
The distinction using account based versus conversation/thread based is not too helpful, because the majority of users of modern social media don’t really use it to follow accounts, with the majority of their time is spent doomscrolling generic hashtags or algorithm recommendations.
The similarities are easier to see if you think of how people actually used these technologies in their daily lives. Pre Facebook, people would log in and refresh their Usenet, emails, and forums threads to keep in touch with friends and interests. Post Facebook, people would log in and refresh Facebook/Insta instead.

It should be the opposite. Saliva enzymes, stomach acid, and bile takes care of most pathogens, whereas anal lining is basically a direct route to your bloodstream.
This is why anal is considered the riskiest option for sex or drugs.
