Pons_Aelius,

algorithmic content

That's my point. I am not knocking the feature, just the marketing push now to call an algorithm feed AI.

I doubt there has been any actual change in the feed just the term.

It is buzzword bullshit.

Pons_Aelius,

Wonder how long AI will be a buzzword.

Until the next one comes along.

Pons_Aelius,

Hate to sound like a parent, then you need to go to bed earlier.

I haven't used an alarm in about a decade because I value sleep. Most of us live in a constant state of sleep deprivation and it is one of the worst things you can do for your health.

Pons_Aelius,

When it happens naturally we call it going viral.

When it is an organised attempt to go viral what should we call it?

Smallpox blankets...

Pons_Aelius,

Comfort eating is one of the hardest addictions to break because unlike drugs, you cannot go cold turkey and stop.

Most of us have never actually been hungry and eat because it is lunchtime or because we are sad and want to distract ourselves.

What worked for me was fasting. It was incredibly hard at first but it did reset my relationship with food. My stomach now decides when and what I eat, not my mind.

Pons_Aelius,

Is a quote a meme?

In the original definition of meme, yes.

[Request] How to get a tiny multitool past airport security?

First off: This post is about a tiny Leatherman multitool. Not a gun, not a sword, not something that can actually hurt someone. Just a small, harmless tool that is unfairly banned from planes because of onerous TSA regs. No one is going to do 9/11 with tiny pliers and a fingernail-sized screwdriver....

Pons_Aelius,

Put it in a bag that is checked in, not carry on.

Pons_Aelius,

When I was working the graveyard shift at a service station and a junkie put a knife to my throat and suggested that the money in the register should really be in his pocket.

Pons_Aelius,

No,

It is purely for dramatic effect.

In a gravity assist ( to be technical using a hyperbolic orbit of a large mass to change direction and gain velocity) the object is still following the curvature of space time. So the change in direction is affecting all particles in the object at the same time.

It is the same as people in the ISS orbiting the earth, they do not have to lean in the curve as they are following the curvature in spacetime around the planet. The only difference is one is a hyperbolic orbit (gravity assist) while the other is a parabolic elliptical orbit (ISS)

Pons_Aelius,

I was pressured by my partner to have children. I had said from the outset of the relationship that I didn't want kids. That was all fine, for the first year-18 months, Then things started to change.

how that played out?

We did not have children, we are no longer together.

Pons_Aelius,

Main point: Just because you want to say something does not mean anyone has to listen to you.

Don't want stuff deleted?

Cool. Spin up your own instance. You are now in compleat control. Post what ever you want.

Next up: Will you cry censorship if other instances decide to defederate with you?

Pons_Aelius,

If you want to publish and moderate subs about politics on a public forum.

Expect people to push back.

I don't care about other users, I don't want this place to become the political cesspit reddit did. Large is not a guarantee of better.

I would be over joyed if every political sub (especially the US, you guys are fucking insufferable) disappeared from the fediverse.

The US perz election is more than a year away, for the love of god. Stop.

Pons_Aelius,

Mate. no alts here.

I'm watching the grand final with mates...

You are replying to me multiple times to a single comment.

Pons_Aelius,

please delete this one as well.

Pons_Aelius,

What is astroturfing? My motivation for all of this was to create new liberal and conservative communities to increase activity on Lemmy. If there are any communities you feel passionate about running, let me know and you’re more than welcome to take it over.

For an account that claims you don't know what astroturfing is you follow it up with the rest of the comment that just screams astroturfing.

Pons_Aelius,

Nah, keep the account. Though I am sure you have plenty more.

Pons_Aelius,

I notice you didn't refute what I said.

Pons_Aelius,

I wondered how the first US prez election would playout in the fediverse.

Looks like we are getting our first taste.

The same bullshit we have seen on reddit in the past.

Looks like the numbers of blocked subs and accounts I have is about to skyrocket...

Pons_Aelius,

Sorry, but I am just asking questions...

Why are you being evasive?

Do you have something to hide?

Pons_Aelius,

If only I could believe you...

I look forward to your next sock puppet.

I agree but this is not the way to do it.

Oil companies pumping it underground is just a way for them to justify business as usual.

Removing co2 from the atmosphere requires energy input, If that energy comes from a co2 producing source it will never work.

Developing nuke/wind/solar co2 extraction is possible but this is astroturfing of the highest order.

Pons_Aelius, (edited )

Quote:

So Occidental Petroleum, a big American oil company, they are really good at a kind of oil production that involves injecting CO2 underground to squeeze more oil out of old wells. So when they heard about this technology to pull carbon out of the sky, they thought, wait; this could work for us. They plan to put some carbon underground just to store it.

This is worse than a zero sum game. Every litre of oil produces multiple litres of CO2 gas.

Sorry, but not that uplifting at all.
