Really depends on what I eat. Beans? Mediocre, the kind of fart that you know exactly what to expect and it's entirely mid. Brocoli? Might as well call Greta Thunberg, because those one's are probably cleaner than the air I breathe.
Now clams? Hoo boy. Those are the kind of farts that not only am I proud of, I want to forcefully share that pride with others.
Mostly weird looks from strangers and random offers of tissues/napkins.
Looked up LL Bean on OpenSecrets just because my other reply rants about them a little. So I'm eating a bit of crow and sharing that apparently according to https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/ll-bean-inc/summary?id=D000042703 LL Bean's contributions lean vastly towards the Democrats, and none were from the company itself, but individuals within.
Still dislike the company for other valid reasons, but their political stance is different than I was originally assuming.
Saw this post, saw L.L. Bean on the list. Felt the need to comment "Yet another reason to say FUCK L. L. Bean".
A once great company driven into the ground through corporate greed and poor policies. And that was before all of the current political nonsense. A damned shame the state of Maine holds that company on a damned pedestal.
The only good thing about Bean depends solely on whether the gentleman with the big Newfoundland hounds still frequents the area, because those dogs were/are awesome.
-edit- Quick edit to add that we should probably look at who the parent companies are. For example "Marshall's" is owned by the same company that also run "TJ Maxx" and "HomeGoods" if I recall correctly. And companies such as "Wow Cable" and "Boost Mobile" rely on infrastructure/deals made with larger companies (Spectrum and ATT, respectively). Figured if people are going to avoid companies, it'd be more impactful to avoid the ones the money ultimately funnels to.
I hadn't thought about the Kofi banner thing, and this is anecdotal though my experience, but upon seeing that mentioned my mind immediately jumped to the Steam Workshop; at least with some of the games I play, it's very common to see some form of "Donate".
Setting that aside, the thought occurred to me of somehow tying something we're all used to seeing and interacting with - usernames - into something that if one were so inclined, could interact with somehow to pull up something like a QR code to their "donate box" of choice.
I have no idea how it'd be actually implemented, but it doesn't seem impossible that something like that could allow for both traditional fiat payments, crypto, or even links to "Yoder's Rent-a-goat". I mean, I'd work for a goat as payment, so why not.
QR codes themselves are pretty visually meaningless, and that physical step of the user having to scan it would be that "fully intentional" aspect that'd keep things from being somewhat predatory (thinking in-app payment type stuff).
I have no skin in this game, so just thinking out loud on this, is all.
On the one hand, people should be able to make a living.
On the other, places where every Tom, Dick and Harry has their hand out expecting payment for the most inane things (i.e. tipping culture, states where billboards are allowed...) turn pretty crap pretty fast.
Something to remember is that advertising on the internet was a slow-roll at first... until all of a sudden, everyone has ads and popups.
I'm fairly confident it's Obsidian, and not sure if the theme's even been changed, as the default Obsidian in dark mode looks the same. Not sure if Logseq uses the same icons like on the left, but Obsidian does for sure.
The same tool that can be used to permanently activate a Windows install can be used to permanently activate an Office install as well; including 365.
Oh, and the tool to do so is open-source.
Or you could just dump Microsoft entirely (unless you need Excel in particular). Either way, it's free.
Yeah... despite the local Wal-Mart having quite the selection for the garage chemical enthusiast, I'd rather not publicly outline terrible ideas that could lead to others being severely hurt or killed.
Though I will throw out there that the access for the fire suppression/sprinkler system is usually fairly easy to access, and covers the entire store when it goes off, conveniently aerosolizing whatever liquids might be in the pipes...
So big scary warning, but nothing than "audit your shit" to address it? I'm not an expert, and in fact just got ollama w/deepseek running on my machine last night... but like, isn't it common courtesy to at least suggest a couple of ways to mitigate things when posting a "big scary warning" like that?
Especially given deepseek's more open nature, and the various tidbits I've seen indicating that deepseek is open enough to be able to tweak/run entirely locally. So addressing the API issue seems within the realm of possibility...
