Vanilla is key here, I’m one of those people. Tried it with chocolate ice cream once it was not stellar

I’d 100% ruin a kid’s life and my own if I had to take care of one full time. They’re not for me I’ve always known that. I’m much better suited for being the cool aunt

They only kinda work but more importantly they need mass adoption to actually poison training data. Most people aren’t going to add another step to their posts so probably the only way to mass adopt it is to have platforms automatically poison uploaded images. I wonder if reposts on a platform like that would start to have noticable artifacts in the images like jpeg but different

Only reason I like using windows at my work is the only other choice is Mac, and my work mac is only sorta barely usable for what I need

Yeah it was bad. I really needed that job since I was saving to move to Seattle and most the other jobs paid in rejected potatoes. I was there for a few months after the track by minute stuff happened so not great but I did get out of there

My previous work started cracking down on having us write down what we were up to in the day to the minute. I was doing 5m blocks, got in trouble. I switched to the by the minute bullshit and also logged the time spent logging my time and they were not amused either but couldn’t really do anything about it. That whole job was as much time convincing them I was working as time spent actually working, which meant I ended up not working very much because I felt strangled all the time and I had built a bunch of effective ways to lie to them about my day

Yo I got surgery on the 6th and it took until yesterday for my digestive tract to wake up enough to poop again

Compulsion to exert power over people near you

Ah taking notes from how Unity fired people. Slow and steady to ensure morale is as ruined as possible

As if tech isn’t enough of a hyper specialized mess already now we’re throwing biologists into the mix. “Sorry we need to wait for the registered nurse to fix your machine I’m not authorized to administer meds through the CPU’s IV”

So tired of companies telling me they know what I want more than I do. It’s all over the place in big ways like this and smaller annoyance ways too. My work mac just did a security update and it decided to change my desktop background

Like this but with the spare wheel instead of a no wheel

The tire doesn’t have to be perfect that’s why it’s a spare. I’m sure it’ll be fine

Billions of queries becoming way more energy intensive for a feature almost nobody asked for, now the default. What the fuck are we even doing

What do you mean “end”? As long as capitalism is guiding the ship it can’t end the line has to go up

Fun fact: Lockheed uses Unity to make XR training apps and Unity used to (maybe still does I’m not sure) partner with them to help build said apps

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, never heard it called pigeon management before

I’m trans and have surgery coming up so I’m often trying to research a lot of stuff related to that. Seems half the useful info out there is on Reddit and I have to get around the fucking NSFW wall all the time. I’m so frustrated that so much of that information got tied up there and in discord channels

What does being a hobbyist taking care of an aquarium have to do with eating fish?

Axolotls are nearly if not already extinct in the wild. Hobbyists and researchers are the only thing keeping them in existence. Everyone adores seeing my axolotls and get emotionally invested in them almost immediately, which provides a very tangible in person thing for them to think about. It’s a good jumping off point for talking about what’s happening with lakes and rivers.

There are some things we shouldn’t take from the wild. Like I believe sourcing completely natural live rock is unethical as corals have it hard enough and it’s super easy to farm our own live rock. Some things it’s fine and can even help preserve them or teach people about conservation. I learned so much back when I took care of a marine tank. I have a much stronger understanding of how intricate and fragile our ecosystem can be and people should be allowed to learn and see that for themselves
