@paul_ipv6 @bmacDonald94 If you told me that one was also a Pratchett quote I'd believe it...

@dalias @elsie @hellomiakoda Vinegar might not work but HCl if you can get a hold of it (doesn't need to be concentrated) probably will.

It might also be really sophisticated and check for enzymes etc which are present in the stomach-- in that case uhhh vomit into a cup and strain out the solids or something. Ew.

@mynameistillian @feralferment @nullagent I am a Russian communist and I consider the current Russian government to be worse than NATO and EU. Why? Because it's just as or more capitalist. We are an oligarchy controlled by Putin's billionaire cronies. This war is in their interests, not those of Russians, in Ukraine or in Russia.

Western "leftists" who pretend there is anything socialist about the Russian government, should stop play-acting and read something about the world.

@prettygood As for me... Encyclopedia; Rhetoric; and very shamefully, and I'm trying to fix that, Half-Light.

@rat What on Earth

A dear friend of mine has been evicted and is now homeless. They are hanging on, for now, but their only real plan is to escape to a friend in Delaware who is ready to house them. Job search has failed as they're in backwater Louisiana. No other friends nearby

They're suicidal and are losing hope. Please help them so they may have a decent life again, they've been suffering from a year in various unstable households. Every bit helps

Can someone recommend me some hard or semi-hard transhumanist #scifi (preferably prose or webcomic form) that does *not* have a faux-rationalist eugenicsy vibe to it and has a more laid-back and creative attitude regarding posthuman enhancements and so on, while also *not* having a technophobic, conservative attitude that treats the human body and mind as something sacred and untouchable like a lot of sci-fi that touches on these topics?

@charlotteclymer W. As a Christian who actually reads the Bible, Trump really is closer to the Antichrist than a messiah.

Amaroq needs help. While shi had left hir abusive home and somewhat secured food, shi is still in trouble, still unemployed. Due to previous struggles, shi needs to extinguish credit on some cash cards that's draining hir money.

Every dollar counts. Shi needs to survive until shi finds a job.

@vantablack @mynameistillian jfc the greed of those people. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the other donations. I don't even dislike Harris! I support her! But no way I would donate to her if I had the money, when my money would make a bigger impact if given directly to a struggling person.

@demofox @tedted @nyrath It's basically the digital equivalent of homeopathy.

Cheap way to fix a problem.
No side effects compared to other measures.
Hyped up by both its creators and true believers.
The proposed mechanism for it makes sense on a surface level.
Yet the only "evidence" that it does literally anything, comes from its inventors!

@nonlinear @futurebird @dahukanna @PavelASamsonov @nyrath In materials science, my field, we use AI models for figuring out properties of various new materials, *but* they're specialized ones. And generally we validate them after. But it does free up a lot of grunt work of working out *potential* promising materials manually, when a computer can give us a few dozen decent ones and then we test through them.

This kinda thing is where science benefits the most from AI, that and proteins.

@nonlinear @futurebird @dahukanna @PavelASamsonov @nyrath I hope that after this snake-oil bullcrap with them trying to fully replace humans blows over (and it will blow over sooner or later, like all tech bubbles it's not sustainable), I hope this kinda application stays. At least we got something with a lasting impact out of it unlike the previous tech bubble (NFTs)...

Literally TIL this existed, I used Fedi for what, almost a year now and I just found this out. -_-

And I wondered why I couldn't get any publicity for my books. (It's off by default which is probably a good move but if you're a creative you should turn it on.)
