The protondb badges plugin in decky is huge for this

But by scrolling All on beehaw, I get to see a wide variety of content I might not have known I wanted to see. Beehaw thins out the chaff while still allowing me to have a wider experience than I would scrolling Subscribed.

Sometimes if I feel particularly low in resilience to bullshit, I'll scroll Local or Subscribed, but its nice to have the option to scroll All without it being a cesspool.

Here is the reality:

The person is going to use money, whether it is yours or someone else's, to buy whatever it is that they feel is the best use of that money.

Disconnect yourself from any ideas of what the money is going to be used for, and just understand that it will be used to reduce their suffering. If that is a satisfactory use of the money that you give them, then give them the money. Consider, at the same time, putting money aside to donate to local causes, some of whom may be helping the homeless.

Above all though, your money is somewhat valuable, but nowhere near as valuable as your time and effort. Volunteering at these same local causes is even more valuable than whatever spare pocket change.

Just don't turn into a "but they're going to buy drugs with it!" person

pat pat pat happy girl!

Foxgirls are absolutely valid sorry for this erasure

Catgirls are cute and I will pet any who will allow

As long as, even if reddit is using it to train LLM, they are actually still using the descriptions to add accessibility to those images, which I don't take for granted

I am missing a small amount of context - is reddit randomly prompting users to describe images in posts? Or is it prompting you to describe your own image at upload time?

Context aside, I definitely think that providing image descriptions is something we should do in spite of the fact that its definitely going to be used to train AI. Choosing to not do so is throwing our blind peers under the bus to reduce the amount of training data for ai fractionally.

Idk about that. You can get a fully formed opinion about customer service quality based on 1 interaction, depending on how good or bad that interaction is. My internet has been spotty and below the advertised speed? If the customer service rep gives me helpful answers regarding the probable cause and the likely time to fix, I'm gonna be blown away. If they wave me away and tell me that their engineers will look into it and ask if I'll fill in a survey about my experience which will only take a minute of my time, I'm probably not gonna feel too positive about their cs quality.

Not specifically related to the post, but I'm curious how you post so much but don't reply to the comments on your own posts.

I hope to leave whatever spaces I inhabit better than before I was there. I also want to be a cute girl with a cute tummy and thick thighs. I believe these are both aligned with one another.

Exactly

For sure. I try to buy all the music that I enjoy on bandcamp if possible, because as you say a purchase goes a lot further for the artist than any number of streams I might do over my lifetime.

More power to these ladies, sex work is thankless. I do wish the music industry was in a better place to where people didn't have to subsidise it with a secondary gig, even as heavily established professionals in the music industry.

What service would that be?

It doesn't quite go direct to the artists accounts except on Bandcamp Fridays. But its a hell of a lot better than the majority of the other options even without that.

People like to listen to their favourite artists live. She is raising money to make that a possibility without having to underpay the people involved or break her own bank.

Not everyone does everything for money. For a lot of artists, musicians included, they do it for the love of the art.

High Guardian Spice. I'm not personally an enjoyer of it, but the amount of criticism it received was vastly, vastly out of proportion simply because it was "woke".

And as Ada said, trans people.

I've never heard "Ba Sing Sah" and I watched it when it aired, and more recently
