Answering that question comes with a nobel price attached i presume.

What we know is this:

They are made during roman times, They are found wherever the roman empire stretched and there not considered very rare

Thats about it.

The notable theories are

• as a weird currency

• well known blacksmith “exam”

• for knitting, apparently it has been demonstrated that you can use them to knit in practice but the art of knitting is thought to originate much later in history.

My money is now on wig building tools. As a spinoff to the common knitting one.

So wigs, not mittens.

Algoritmes prey on our flaws and weaknesses, this is surprising to no one anno 2024 though.

That doesn’t suddenly make everyone immune though. The attention grip is super powerful.

Just rename it into a .jpg extension instead

Seems to just work for what i need them for ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ive had one or two that didn’t but i could open then in gimp and export that way.

Looks left.

Looks rights.

Reads the rules, very carefully, again.

“I wish for infinite additional wishes which are exempt of any and all restrictions ”

Since when cant i wish for death? Thats to easy to get around.

Thats cause they are an interpretation of your own subconscious rather then the pop verse of the writer.

“We must trow away this box of potentially life saving medication just in case its actually poison and someone may get additionally ill from this specific batch, directly risking your life to potentially delay the overdose of an unnamed drugaddict, that is still going to score elsewhere anyway”

Even the stupidest people i know in my life have the cognitive awareness to smell the stink of that logic.

Unironic support!

Cyberpunk is a prediction more then a fiction at this point.

Gimp for a full image manipulation suit.

Krita for digital painting/art and a decent gui, still better for light image edits then paint.

Between those two photoshop is essentially overpriced hypeware. Its convenient to have both foss apps packed under a single well designed interface but no where worth what they demand. After adobe leaked the details from my student account back in 2013 they have continuously caused me so much damage they should be paying me.

Where updated picture?

This is why i am for mandatory open sourcing of abandonware. So much stuff just laying wasted that could be hacked.

But allowing you to diy your own toys might make you consume less and thats bad or something.

Good, all names should be non binary.

I think it would be possible to hide if you where given a map of where fourth dimensional curvature exists around you but you wouldn’t being able to observe anything different.

Same with autism, neurodivergency in general.

We have strong roots to the early lgbt movement for a reason. Something with not fitting in with societal expectations.

Unironically based.

Scientific works should ideally stand on their own and present all the required information to understand its conclusions in a easy to comprehend for form.

Requiring a human, who is more prone to emotional and subjective errors during live speech then during honest predetermined writing sessions is everything but ideal.

However, a scientific work should be the most possible comprehendible to the target audience which may require multiple mixed forms including live discussion of subject matter.

[scientific medium that allows people to learn and grow independently of other factors] > [scientific medium that aids learning and growth in combination with other factors] > [scientific medium that requires near full knowledge of the subject matter to understand (thats just art for smart people)]

I have a really nice set of whittling knives from the time i was passionately experimenting with a borrowed knife.

Guess how much time i have whittled since acquiring that set?

In my defense apparently i missed out on a free tiny whetstone because i bought on a local farmers market rather the amazon page. From this i have convinced myself i need to master knife sharpening and maintenance skills first so i don’t abuse my set.

This is a mutual experience that many people can relate to but its mechanics is also core Adhd where this scenario is more extrme and frequent. (Possibly even with important life choices and not just hobbies)

Normalize acknowledging the smaller neurodivergent features that exists in most people as it can help them understand major ones. but do keep it distinct from “everyone has a bit of adhd/autism/anxiety” which is tonedeaf

Imagine being a autistic human support worker and every customer starts trying this on you.

In fairness though, the more I understand llms the more comparison i find with some parts of my own mind

If after 12 monty they actually comply then thats still a positive.

However i fear they may “fix” it with malicious compliance at 11 months and then the cycle repeats.

Instead what i think should happen is they should need to obtain “verified compliance” within a year. (Minus the time europe takes to check) and if the term expires the penalty goes up to eventually forced splitting up.
