Power over Ethernet is a helluva drug

Agreed.

But the entire point I'm making is there's nothing wrong with the diamonds, the problem is with the method and the people profiting from it.

You were saying the diamonds were not fine by dint of origin. I'm saying let's right the wrong and then use the diamonds.

The fuck you think "using their ill gotten gains for good" means?

I mean yeah: if we went and killed every person who benefits from conflict diamonds and closed all blood diamond mines why wouldn't you be cool with using the resources? Their evil origin has little to do with their practical utility and if the original sin is expiated there's no reason not to?

Like yeah conflict diamonds have basically no purpose because we can make diamonds cheaper and better in labs but in a situation where there are more practical uses (cobalt, LLMs) once we cleanse the land of the sinners why wouldn't we use their ill gotten gains for good?

You'll take my kotlin from my cold dead hands

I didn't know Lodge only used American iron - do you have a link to that somewhere? I tried finding it on Google but couldn't. It'd be useful to have handy when talking to the "America doesn't manufacture anything anymore" crowd

1. It's Walmart: what item they sell has no connection to China?
2. It's important tariffs actually the board not just China

Do this as an institution you'll get nuked in court.

Do this as an individual nobody will pay to see it.

The more you complain the more it's worth.

People pay money to see it because it's controversial.

That's why it's art.

Yes, which also means it's fake

Are you telling me people would just go on the Internet and lie?

This is very clearly fake

I bet USB c connections could fit in a floppy drive slot

I pay for services (including lemmy - support your instance leeches) and use an ad blocker for everything else.

There's a lower cost ad plan for YouTube music is that what you mean?

I thought everyone wanted YouTube premium without the music. That's the ad plan: it shows ads on music because you're not paying for ad free music.

Yes but we're also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate

I heard rumors someone burned his house down. No idea if they're true or not.

PLA is widely used as a medical plastic and its normal decomposition is into lactic acid.

Even if it is just being atomized down into smaller and smaller particles it's safer for you than any other common plastic.

The colorants added are the only risk

Yeah that's about the face I was expecting him to be making. It's the "Please knock my lights out" face. The mental agony face.

Working long hours is sometimes justified: but unless you're the CEO you should be getting extra pay or time off in lieu. Anything else is wage theft.

Affinity is great
