Walt Disney was a capitalist charging admission to a controlled capitalist environment. This is public land that we all collectively own and should care for. Trash bins add to overhead and are bad for surrounding wildlife. We can all just do our part. We owe Disney nothing. We owe the land and our society everything. Big difference.

Dont know what you mean by performative capitalism, but carry in carry out is pretty standard fare environmentalism. Though these people are not carrying in, they are making the decision to buy onsite and should then accept carry out responsibilities.

Different experiences then, because most people I’ve spoken to about it there and back home have talked about how clean it was despite that and commended the society for being so responsible with their waste.

Lots of corner stores and vending machines in Japan that sell basically full meals and no trash can in sight.

I don’t think people realize that custodial staff are different than general park staff. If they have bins then they need to deal with that whole process and have at least one dedicated employee. I’d rather have to carry my trash and let the park use that money elsewhere.

For what it’s worth, I do agree it’s probably “gentrification” in the sense that the concept of carry in/carry out is more prevalent in middle class communities, mostly because they are more likely to engage in hobbies where or go to places where it’s a more prevalent part of the culture. I’m not sure non-middle class people have the same experiences/lifestyle that lead to thinking this makes sense to do.

As someone who uses AI image gen locally for personal use, 2-4 are actually really common issues that people run into. It’s something people in earnest look into and address for themselves, so it’s probably top of mind when others post issues they encountered. 1 is just true of a lot of internet posts regardless of if they’re AI related or not. I think we can all agree that the AI response is stupid and probably not the intention of people who put guardrails on it. Now that AI is a thing whether we like it or not, I think encouraging guardrails makes sense. They will start out and will probably always be imperfect, but I’d rather they be overly strict. There will be limits and people are still learning to adjust them.

I know I’m just feeding into the trope, but your comment boils down to “when I critique something I get reasonable responses addressing the critique.”

Meant more Cunninghams law/XY problem than TCP, but thank you for the laugh.

I don’t have an answer for you, but per internet protocol will still respond.

Have you tried on of the apps that wakes you up depending on where you are in your sleep cycle? It really has been a game changer.

Other than that, I just used snooze like the other comments mentioned, but if you know you’re gonna turn off the alarm instead of snoozing, I get wanting multiple alarms.

Would recommend Foxit over onlyoffice for pdfs since onlyoffice has Russian ties. If you wanna go full FOSS, you probably care about data sovereignty. Libreoffice is pretty good for other office application needs.

Can I ask why you bothered to check it out? Doesn’t that just encourage this behavior? If no one clicked the links people wouldn’t do this.

I didn’t mention it in my original comment, but I did actually do a search, and the only thing I found was him talking about how bluesky is better because it doesn’t do suppression of external links. Bluesky itself does not load with my current settings so I can’t scroll through his posts, but his recent YouTube videos seem pretty normal/benign from just the titles. Seems weird to unnecessarily attack Hank Green, but I am gonna guess that’s what they’re doing because I cannot find example or article him being problematic.

I’m familiar with Hank Green, but I don’t actually follow him or have a bluesky account. Can you provide a link to an example or an explanation of what you mean?

I think the issue is the “random” part of it. If I had a back and forth with someone on a gaming or LGBT or political organizing community, and the exchange was pleasant and they wanted to chat more, I wouldn’t be opposed, but if I’ve never interacted with someone and they are essentially spamming any and everyone the same copypasta, yea that’s not someone I want to interact with. Shout out to lemmings that help with Linux too.

That suck to hear. I know that it can be pretty demoralizing in the first place, but to then have that added on. Devastating. What you do is really important, so thank you. Your community really benefits from it regardless of how full the boxes are. Hope things get better for everyone.

Agreed. Good luck. Hope things improve for you (and everyone else lol) soon.

I had literally typed up basically this exact comment, then deleted it because I figured they were just venting and it wouldn’t be helpful, and then I came back because I wanted to make sure people understood that food banks aren’t generally run by the government. They’re nonprofits, but there is no minimum amount they are allocated. Since they mostly run off donations, and the economy is so terrible for everyone, it makes sense that they are hurting too. I’m sorry to hear they didn’t have more, but often the things they do have are the little others can spare or staples that make sense to purchase with the little money they get. I’m glad you commented though because I’m not sure I would have made a top level comment about this, but imho it’s worth mentioning. The people at the food banks really are trying their best to help.
