This came to my attention recently via someone I follow on Mastodon. I haven't set time aside yet to set it up and try it out but since I heard about ChatGPT, etc, I thought this would be an excellent use of the tech.

Just letting you know what you sound like.

Take a moment to think about what brought you to defend discrimination based on skin color. Then consider if that’s a positive for humanity.

Here I thought we settled this bullshit already but I guess some have some catching up to do. We really were too lax on the South when we beat their ass.

Badly needed in news. I’m trying to replace my news and current events with RSS and it’s though since it’s easy to get inundated with info and never “catch up”.

I downvote articles in News but still see things that pertain to what I downvote. I don’t even know what that feature does.

This isn't even necessarily tech. A bunch of models do assume we're going to figure out how to physically pull GHGs out of the air (a new favorite argument from those with ties to oil - "don't worry bro, we'll capture it later") with new tech but a bunch of these offsets are just trees.

Here's the bullshit:

Most projects look at historical deforestation within a region to forecast a baseline deforestation rate, or the amount of deforestation that would have happened without the project’s intervention, West said. The problem is, it’s all based on hypotheticals.

Those people need to pull their head out.

It should be on the government to post this information on a public government website. It should be on the people to go read it.

I do believe governments should be looking at alternative alerting options though. They should take the recent API rate hikes by Twitter as a bright red warning that they should never have relied on private companies like this for important alerts.
