Same here with plant milk in coffee. It gives you a ton of really yummy variety. I’ve accidentally had dairy milk put in my coffee, and every time I recognize it by how noticeably worse the coffee tastes.

Another one for me was nutritional yeast on popcorn. I mixed it into my usual popcorn seasoning, and popcorn legitimately isn’t as good to me now without nooch.

Not only that, but we make it goddamn trivial for not just Wikipedia but for other Wikimedia projects. Doing this is just stealing without attribution and share-alike like the CC BY-SA 4.0 license demands and then on top of that kicking down the ladder for people who actually want to use Wikimedia and not the hallucinatory slop they’re trying to supplant it with. LLM companies have caused incalculable damage to critical thinking, the open web, the copyleft movement, and the climate.

Sort of, but not really. Peat accounted for 2.9% of its electricity generation in 2021 (page 14).

As someone who very much wants to see wind and solar power, it’s weird to me how much this article harps on about wind and nothing else. Not mentioned anywhere in the article is that expanding nuclear energy helped Finland considerably in its shift away from coal (page 3) and is its largest source of electricity (page 147), accounting for about 1/3 of its total electricity production (page 147). One of the other largest ways Finland has shifted to renewables in the last 20 years is biomass (page 20, page 82).

Finland has been rushing to add more wind, and that was seen as an important step to helping increase renewables in the energy mix (page 84), but as of 2022, it accounted for an extremely minimal portion of said energy mix (page 82). I would be interested to see how doubling the figure seen on page 87 where wind accounted for ~10% of renewables (not electricity generation in general, just renewables) from 2020 somehow made its share jump to 25% of all electricity production as the OP’s article claims. I trust the IEA pretty firmly here.

Good thing Trump can’t force Europe to stop expanding renewables and switch back to Russia’s swill.

I really don’t think this is true. It might push some politically engaged users to Firefox, but unlike Musk, most people don’t know who Thiel is, and as long as he keeps it that way, nobody will care.

Justice Department is 100% lobbing this over to JD Vance’s buddy Peter Thiel who’s going to enshittify it even further and turn it with its massive install base into a tool for techno-fascism.

So basically anything that makes it more useful than just doing it yourself.

Not even close, but okay.

Dude fuck off.

Don’t forget cozying up to a nuclear-armed madman who’s ruthlessly invading your neighbor and wants to take you next and then threatening to leave the defensive pact that keeps you all safe from said madman.

The great thing about RISC-V if you care about sovereignty in an age where CPUs run the world is that it’s an open standard. Contrast this with x86 which is owned in some part by US-based Intel and some part by US-based AMD as well as ARM which is owned by Japanese-owned, UK-based Arm Holdings. If you want to use x86, you’re shelling out license money to Intel and AMD, and if you want to use ARM, you’re shelling out license money to Arm Holdings. You never truly “own” what you’re producing.

The discoverers themselves refer to it as a backdoor, so frankly I don’t know what you’re on about accusing this article of misrepresenting their findings.

Correct, you’re not required to swear on the Internet. That’s why there are a trillion other words to use if you’re not comfortable with it. “This kind of stupid packing foam.” “This kind of annoying packing foam.” “This kind of obnoxious packing foam.” If you want to say “fucking”, then you can just say “This kind of fucking packing foam.” The censorship is useless and distracting. Commit to the word you want to say or use another word; nobody’s going to punish you for swearsies here, and nobody’s going to punish you for not swearsies.

OP, it’s okay, you can swear on the Internet.

After Epstein, the pool ran a bit dry, didn’t it?

A comment that says “I know not the first thing about how machine learning works but I want to make an indignant statement about it anyway.”

Obviously the newest Intel is the 13th generation

Erm

You understand why advertising when it isn’t clearly labeled as such is worse, right?

Whoops! I didn’t even notice the Modlog because (at least for me) it’s tucked away at the very bottom of the sidebar and nestled between the list of mods and some statistics I don’t really care too much about. :P Genuinely my bad, though; I should’ve looked harder. Appreciate it now that I can finally see it!
