This article is from 2019 and argues against the methods laid out in research article published at the same time. It does not provide adequate evidence to support your claim that thid is a myth. I Will do some more research later today, but this author writes for a think tank. I’d advise some due dillignece before reading this guys material. Forbes is also right leaning so will have some level of bias here.
Wonderful news. I just updated and it’s working again. YouTube is so far down the enshittification tunnel that it’s only a matter of time until something like this gets rolled out again. I really want Peertube to be the one, but there’s just not that many people using it. I’ve done away with reddit and Twitter and now much prefer Lemmy and Mastadon, but YouTube is harder to kick.
Has it improved health or reduced obesity, though? That’s kind of the interesting thing, here. What has happened to overall calorie consumption?
Yes, reading Superimperialism at the moment. It’s good. DoE was co-written so feels different to bullshit jobs (only other thing if his I’ve read). I think it’s an important book.
Good points. I was referring to Thatcher and the start of the neoliberal policies which led to 2008 crash and then the austerity which led from it.
As for the neolithic revolution thing. Have you read The Dawn of Everything? That book disputes quite forcefully the idea that agriculture led to class structures etc. They state that this idea is outdated and has since been disproven by archeological findings. Some ancient agrarian societies were tyrannical, others were not. In the same way some forager groups were heirachical and even had slaves and some were far more egalitarian. It’s an excellent book.
I found it powerful as it presents the idea that we choose how we live to a large extent. It’s not determined by our mode of food production/technology alone (and therefore may not be doomed).
Class war has been on since 1979.
Yeah, on it.
You’re right there. thanks again for the input.
Fascinating. Thanks for the insight. I guess the question was more: would it make the use of SD unlawful? I appreciate there is no disposing of the model now.
Right, got it. A useful tool but not what I thought it was. I’m going to play around with it some more. Again, thanks again for your time. I appreciate it.
Now I’ve used it a bit, it seems to me that it doesn’t allow you to insert an image of your choice in that black space; it will just generate what you prompt it to, where directed by your uploaded mask. It therefore doesn’t offer much more functionality than the normal inpainting tool. Is that right? It’s just a more precise method of selection?
Apologies if this was obvious to everyone but me.
It works!
And was surprisingly easy.
Thanks so much for your help. I will.pay it forward!
Thanks so much. Will try tonight. Very much appreciate your time and consideration.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. There’s a lot in your comment. We badly need to mitigate, but we also need to put a lot of our resources into ensuring we survive as a species. A lot of money is needed in the global south, particularly (who have, on large, barely contributed to this problem).
Very true. Some of us can afford to live with a bit less and recalibrate their life towards improving things. Not all can, though, of course.
It’s almost as if we should be spending our time working to mitigate climate change and helping build societal resilience instead of working on meaningless careers…
I have patches on my leather jacket that is the same colour as yours. I think they look cool but they’re smaller and in a less annoying place (I worry a might make the cuff too thick in that spot). My preference for your jacket would be obvious stitching in a noticeable colour, but that’s just me.
That happened to me. I got COVID pre-vaccine, and for years after that I got every bug going, including multiple COVID infections. After time this seems to have passed. I have now gone one year without COVID, which is a miracle. I feel like my first infection buggered up my immune system. I think I have finally recovered now. I wish you the best of luck.
