An interesting alternative that I’ve found (for when making English breakfast or something similar) is to steep the teabag in the milk first before adding the hot water. I find that it cuts down on the bitterness and makes a much smoother tea.

[…] I’m not sure […] voting on each defederation is necessary. […]

My proposal does not include voting on cases of defederation.

[…] I am not sure engaging the admins in a philosophical debate about why they blocked an instance is going to be productive. […]

To be clear, I didn’t specify that the admins would be required to engage with and resolve every comment that they receive on the posts about the instances that they are defederating from; they simply have that option. The main aspiration of the proposal is that the admins simply provide their rationale for defederating an instance when they do so. I wasn’t advocating for some involved process where they must receive agreement and input from the community before a defederation occurs (though, I don’t necessarily think that is entirely a bad idea).

[…] it’s potentially the hundreds of options that would need sorting through from the users. […]

I’m not sure that I understand; could you clarify what you mean?

An update for anyone finding this in the future: This proposal has been implemented! ^[1]

[…] If you don’t support imprisoning people who hold these views that directly lead to the death of many innocent people, the taking over of people’s land/homes, the destruction of democratic systems, and the elimination of entire races of people from populations, then you are inherently tolerating their beliefs.

To me, it feels like you are conflating some things here: I draw a distinction between how I try to conduct myself (and, by extension, how I think society should conduct itself), and how I think a government should conduct itself. Any common overlap, while it may theoretically draw from the same core personal beliefs, is more of a coincidence in practice, imo. Yes, I think that society should not socially tolerate any of these behaviors, and I think that society should take an active position to socially oppose them; but I don’t believe that a government should take action unless the well-being of an individual is actively under threat.

I could be wrong in my interpretation, but all of your examples seem to simply a be a difference of opinion (no matter how abhorrent and unpalatable an opinion may be). I don’t believe that one should be legally punished for a difference of opinion. The only one that may have some legal ground, in my opinion, as I currently understand your examples, is

Supporting dictatorship, authoritarianism, or totalitarianism as a concept or goal

but that would depend on how you are defining “support”.

Zero. I believe that the negotiations of an employee’s market value are between the employee and their employer. I don’t believe that it is my responsibility to charitably subsidize a company through the subsidization of their employees’ wages.

Thank you for verifying 🙂

Hm, my guess would be either “cube control” or “cube C-T-L”.

EDIT (2025-02-28T09:02Z): Hm, actually, given that it’s for Kubernetes ^[1], maybe it’s “koob control” or “koob C-T-L”… ^[2]?

Do you mean /ɲiɲks/?

Here are the sounds for each:

• ɲ ^[1]
• ŋ ^[2]

No ^[1.1].

EDIT 2025-02-28T10:17Z: Actually, @Aatube@kbin.melroy.org, I was wrong in my initial interpretation ^[1.2]. So, from what I can tell, you are, in actuality, the only one itt! 😊

Basically, every search engine has incorporated LLMs and are shoving them down your throat. If we are talking about tools that I would find useful I’d rather have a reverse image search. […]

So, for clarity, are you saying that a reverse image search tool is more useful to you than AI integration, yet search engines are pushing for AI integration rather than reverse image search tools, and they may not have reverse image search tools at all?

Edit: damn, that down vote hurt. Must be an llm developer, I guess.

If you are accusing me, I would like to clarify that, as of writing this, I have not downvoted your comment ^[1].

Could you elaborate? I don’t understand what you mean.

I love Boullée’s architecture! I found that this YouTube video ^[1] goes into really interesting detail on some of Boullée’s designs.

…it’s not “curl”?
