Well it is climate change. If the spring time is volatile, warm early then cold longer than normal etc… it messes up the sap yields tremendously.
You also need hundreds and hundreds of trees to have a decent production. You cant just plant those further north and have them yielding anything before a very long time.
I didn’t say anything about the creator but more the reason the thing exists. Reactionary projects tend to just suck and be full of drama. I’m never surprised when it’s discovered its creators are jerks.
Honestly, you’d be surprised how easy it is to avoid distasteful things and people.
There’s two kinds of projects in FOSS: those made because someone hates something and wants to replace it, and those made by people who love something.
The first is often made by assholes and sociopaths. I try to fill my life with the second kind.
I think you should avoid things created out of hate.
The Basque would like a word.
Im not critical, Im just saying 30% is a good business that pays well. They dont need to scalp more off the top.
The government is openly blaming “the radical left” when it’s clearly a much broader protest by now.
Not sure leftists are the ones breaking into tobacconists, stealing cigarettes and selling them on the street outside. That’s a little bit too enterprising no? lol
Retail stores make way less than that. Their margins are razor thin.
Honestly, I find it gross and sleazy. Even the FAQ acknowledges it’s a reference to Pulp Fiction.
It perpetuates stereotypes about boys club computing for one. But more importantly, it makes it just gross to teach it in schools. Like I wouldn’t be comfortable using GIMP in an elementary school or high school as a teaching tool in any way.
I remember encountering the software for the first time in highschool and cringing. I was like nope, this is either made by weirdos or dumb people who dont know what words mean. That impression has stuck.
The logo is peak though, no notes.
Procreate is worse though. I hate that its a pun. 🤮
“It was then renamed to the General Image Manipulation Program, and then to the GNU Image Manipulation Program. They referenced a character from the movie “Pulp Fiction” which was trendy at the time.”
From the FAQ on the GIMP website someone else posted. It was a reference to bdsm or specifically the Pulp Fiction character.
I think the only valid use of Ai should be to solve captchas for you.
My driver’s license couldn’t even include my proper eye colour: pers (or hazel). So it says my eyes are green… when they are not.
That’s about as correct as my gender designation.
You have to think of the poor cops who don’t know more than 4 colours. Can’t scare them too much with challenging nuance and facts.
As long as it stays private, it really doesn’t matter. Enshitification comes from public stockholdership, venture capital or private equity trying to get insane returns on overpriced assets.
They make 30% of the gross sales on their platform… nobody prints money like Valve does.
For reference, stores refuse Amex because they take 1%-2% more than Visa/Mastercard on gross sales. Steam takes 30% and nobody gives a shit. lol
In normal democracies donations are capped to like $100 a year.
In Canada we have conspiracies about wealthy and powerful elites using lots of individuals to max out donations… and even that would only get them 5 figure or low 6 figure donations. lol
It was a live vaccine unlike other injections which use dead cells. Part of the reason it made a blister. They carried some risks you don’t have with other vaccines.
Newer smallpox vaccines given to the military no longer cause scars and are much safer. They can be given to immuno compromised individuals.
It’s because they think gender is this boolean statement in your DNA that is just true or false.
It’s the same kind of lack of curiosity that leads people to just believe the simplified math and science they learned in elementary school, because it’s easier not to teach kids the real complexity of models until they are in high school or university.
You know, things are complex and that’s ok.
Shen is going through an egg arc?
Exactly, as someone called out in this post: I really just like Osage-chan. I find her super relatable and fun.
That said its not ok to be weird and have “waifus” that are not age appropriate for you.
If you watch anime as an adult you have to grow up and recognize you are watching media targeted for kids and teenagers. You can’t engage with it like you would if you were still that age.
If I were to watch Lucky Star as a teenager, I might have a crush on some of the characters. But as an adult I can recognize the best girl is their teacher Nanako. 🤟
I dunno, says a lot when Bush has the moral highground lol
Bush is in the bottom 4 with Andrew Johnson and Buchanon, but we all know who is the objective worse.
Granted W. was a lot like Justin Trudeau, he was there, he did silly interviews but ultimately never did shit and let others call all the shots.
That is such whiplash from the culture of engineering excellence Epic was known for.
Bioware also had a large number of employees in Edmonton. Maga goons (Jared Kushner and Lourenco Goncalves) are just laying off Canadians to hurt the economy.
