Classic case of know your audience. I don’t think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn’t mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren’t for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy’s posts.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise

According to the article, this isn’t even recapturing CO2. It’s grabbing plant/decomposable waste before it rots, turning it into these dense bricks, and burying it under ground. Like, collecting corn husks from farmers. This feels stupid to me and like a big gimmick.

Book bans all the way down

Shit. You spoke of it. Sorry for your loss.

That’s a good point, and lithium batteries get sparky when the lithium gets exposed. In the boat example I’m not going to worry too much about lead acid batteries, if they leak it should dilute quickly. Honestly unless punctured, I’m not going to worry about the lithium batteries really either. You typically find out about punctures in those rather quickly. Like before the water is the issue.

No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don’t think much would happen. Don’t be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don’t think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.

But I could be very wrong.

Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It’s been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it’s similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it’s been stable

Plus I get to say I’m running my 3d printer on a potato

Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn’t even reply with the “stop to opt out”. Just, leave me alone. I’m not excited for Biden but I’m going to do what I need to do. That won’t show in any polls.

It’s probably NaCl

In other news, several border patrol agents seen chasing tornado with tasers drawn.

Ok, I don’t know why I’m even bothering, but here’s why I think this is nothing more than conjecture at best and probably just outright dishonest manipulation.

1. OP’s link cites directly the eo announcement, that’s where I found the link it. The announcement says literally nothing about scanning your photos and documents. It’s about making sure aps aren’t sharing your shit in the background. That ai generators aren’t marketing it for creating revenge/child porn, aren’t monetizing it if they do, protecting your photos and docs from being stolen and disseminated without permission. Not one thing indicates it’s about scanning what shit you have on your phone.

2. OP’s link, links to another blog/opinion piece that seems to be the source of the “scanning photos for bad content” junk that I’m claiming has no logical source and is made up bs to rile up the already haters

President Biden wants to probe everyone’s smartphones as part of a sweeping surveillance effort.

From which I quote

This proposal implies that mobile operating systems would need to scan and analyze images directly on users’ devices to determine if they are sexual or non-consensual.

There’s no linked document evidence of what the op or either of the 2 level deep op-eds are claiming. There is no source beyond the above quote claiming it’s implied. It’s literally made up. The linked eo announcement says nothing about scanning your phone for what types of content/documents you have… I read nothing anywhere that implies this.

I don’t want shit scanning my phone. I think we all agree that’s definitely a long way over the line. I see nothing that indicates that’s what this is even remotely close to doing. So why is it being shared and claimed that it is?

Except the announcement doesn’t say anything like what the op link is claiming?
