I would think that it would only apply to AI generated images, but I suppose it would depend on the community. In this comm in particular in which all the posts are images it shouldn’t be too tricky to define. As the technology advances it might eventually be impossible to spot them, though…

Lemmy users seem to overwhelmingly despise AI slop, which makes me wonder why my more communities don’t have rules against it. I would love to be able to report it and have it removed.

I recently added CPSTD and OCD to my collection. Woo.

What makes this even more obscene is that National Forests and parks make a profit even though they are services and aren’t supposed to. They’re taking the profits that these collect and giving them to billionaires.

You’re both right. Capitalism accelerates climate change but so does the outrageous electricity requirements of LLMs.

I live in Washington and every single campsite in this state has an illegal fire pit. Even the sites above 3500 feet elevation where fires are always illegal have them.

People are selfish assholes and just don’t care about anyone else. Risking burning down the entire state is worth it to them so they can have their stupid fire in the woods. It’s only a matter of time before it all burns down, and when it does, it will be started by some asshole with an illegal bonfire.

Here’s another website. Google used to be so much easier to use.

Singapore is a solid source, right? It’s bizarre to me that this isn’t more widely known.

Reusing cooking oil causes cancer. I thought this was wildly known, but I’m consistently surprised at how many people online say things like this.

This is why “drip jars” stopped being used in the 20th century. There used to be one in every house until it was understood it causes stomach cancer.

It probably was an .ml comm, yeah. This was when I was just starting out on Lemmy and was actually excited to talk to the “leftists” on the communist comms. I was hopelessly naive.

Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.

I actually agree. I’ve always considered her to be a progressive (or at least what’s considered progressive in the United States), but the last time I brought her up on Lemmy I got jumped on and told she’s a liberal.

I love those clips of her when she was grilling CEOs as member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She has fantastic “get to the point and don’t fuck around” energy which is desperately needed in US politics.

I really like Porter. I’ve seen leftists label her a liberal, but her time in Washington showed that she cares about the working class, so even if she’s more of a centrist than a lot of us would like, she’s still an improvement.

Bullshit. It’s painfully obvious that this was either written by a dog person or is using a tired stereotype to get clicks and make an easy joke.

I usually like Pizzacake.

I hadn’t considered that, but that should definitely be added to the pro column. Vapor is just significantly easier on the lungs. The original reason I switched to vapor was so I could climb mountains in Washington without stopping for a break every 5 minutes. The difference in lung endurance is massive.

You’re right, dozens was an exaggeration. I added an edit to my comment.

One of my favorite perks from switching to vaporizers is that I am not creating this particular type of plastic waste. People don’t seem to realize how much plastic is in a single bic lighter. Dozens of plastic bottles worth of plastic.

Edit: I should’ve said “several” water bottles not “dozens.” I googled the weight of a bic lighter and a bottle and it’s probably 2 or 3 water bottles.

I was on trails the entire hike. I have yet to do any of the style of rock climbing that people do with ropes, harnesses, and helmets, but I might look into that when I’m ready for it. I do some lighter/easier rock climbing without equipment occasionally, like ridgelines, which do have some danger of falling.

The Cascades aren’t too different from a range like the Rockies, except there are more volcanoes and you start at a lower elevation. I do snowshoeing in the winter when the avalanche risk isn’t too great. Rainforest trails are accessible year round but are crowded in the summer, so I do those in other seasons. The PNW is just stupid gorgeous.
