Whilst I am doing a CS degree now, for the last 9 years I was a 5 axis CNC machinist for stone products. I still do It part time as they haven’t found a replacement yet (after a year lmao).

It’s harsh to criticise people for not working for free…

Right but a small company or even a group of people aren’t going to put resources into something that a few % of people use. Look at Linux, despite it being the most used operating system in the world, retail sticks to windows and Mac, so it just doesn’t get the same level of support.

I completely agree in the sense people should educate themselves and use products that benefit them and don’t abuse them, but people don’t. And because people don’t, companies won’t.

You said it better than I could

Most people don’t use federated services. I know it’s ironic that an open source project isn’t using open source channels, but sometimes it’s best to stick to services that are easy access and popular.

I’m sure if enough people got in contact about using open source communication they would likely attempt it.

I’ve found that the better I’ve gotten at writing prompts and giving enough information for it to not hallucinate, the better answers I get. It has to be treated as what it is, a calculator that can talk, make sure it has all of the information and it will find the answer.

One thing I have found to be super helpful with GPT4o is the ability to give it full API pages so it can update and familiarise it’s self with what it’s working with.

Because how else do they shoot the black folk?

I use Ubuntu on my servers because it just… Works, out of the box I can run my scripts and have no issues 100% of the time. On desktops I used to use SolusOS for gaming as that was the only Linux OS at the time I could comfortably game on without many hiccups.

The difference is people in the UK don’t need guns, there’s no use for them except “in rural areas”. While yeah you can ban swords, the people stabbing people with swords could just as easily switch to kitchen knives . And I don’t know how I’m going to chop my veggies if we go down the road of banning every item people use to kill eachother.

The UK has severe mental health issues due to underfunding of health services. We also have severe poverty growth, we have alot of worsening of of situations for people that we need to address.

Banning the sword does not delete the sword. It will still exist, killing a person with a sword is already illegal and people still do it. It’s a much deeper problem

They just get called woke gay snowflakes then the accusers go eat 10 steaks and jack off.

Theres no way to fix this with kind words, only through force

Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.

I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

I was agreeing with you against that thinking, sorry if that wasn’t clear

It also doesn’t work if you’re not “antagonistic and smug”. People don’t like to change, so they aren’t going to change their eating habits.

It has nothing to do with how people talk to you and everything to do with you just liking meat.

The vocal minority of any group is delusional

Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.

I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.

Sorry for the amp link,also it’s not the study but a summary of said study

I mean I’m vegan and I’ve got nothing against hunters, like they said we’re animals and animals sometimes eat animals. Most vegans are against animal farming as there is no way to do it humanely on a large scale.

I personally wouldn’t eat a hunted animal, right now but if civilization was to fall it’s fair game.

The bullet also helped

I find it hard to believe you’re losing money, unless you don’t understand the economics of it. If your mortgage payment is £450, and rent is £450 that’s an even ratio, of course you have maintenance costs on top of that, so it looks like you’re down X amount on costs but you’re not, you’re up £450 - maintenance. But I seriously doubt you’re charging Equal to your mortgage payment anyway.
