I have a crassula succulent that's not behaving as expected and I'm not sure how best to trim or propagate it.

I have a succulent I bought probably two years ago that's labeled crassula cornuta. It's been standing up straight for all that time, but sometime in the last couple of weeks, it's fallen ...

This can't be stressed enough. Everything, and I mean ev-ery-thing they have been doing has been performative. All the hype, all the doom drumming, all the "ex-employee" drama, all of it is to create an illusion of value that They. Cannot. Produce. And. Won't. Produce. For. Decades. If ever.
What infuriates me is that enough people have bought into the myth that the scam might actually work? Suffice to say, I'm bumping this because we urgently need like, Everyone, to not buy into their stupid regulate-me-daddy trick. It's so stupid. This whole thing is so stupid. It shouldn't work. Agh.

Yep, this Hacker News post has the right of it. They're pushing for a "great slowdown" because the gains have been incremental for, uh, a while.

Like I'm not saying it's nothing, but it's nowhere near enough to get them to profitability, so they need an escape, and now. Or their valuation poofs.

I had to knock out a quick response to this garbage. Wouldn't it be amazing if they actually commissioned a real artist? Wouldn't it have been so easy? There's so many of us who would've been so happy to be involved in a project like this.

Hundreds of thousands of exceptionally qualified furry artists in this country and around the world who would have leaped at the opportunity to produce this series. Nah... Gotta use a slop bot and a photoshopper.

It's all just sad and exhausting at this point.
Sad to see the new furry mascot for New Mexico State Parks has the hallmarks of being made with AI. You heard it here first folks!
"Ranger Rio" is not to be trusted.

TP-Link has shoe-horned an ai slop bot into their Tapo/Kasa app and now I'm ripping out all the wireless devices I've been working with since 2019.

Hahaha Oh wow!
hey so the channel 4 documentary team going around trying to get info out of furries to publish a tell-all, erroneous, wildly misinterpreted view of the fandom, is the same team who did the ADHD documentary, where they tried to say ADHD might be a social construct

fucking idiots, shut them out

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it.

I've been avoiding this purchase in an effort to keep my kitchen appliances minimal and dual use, but I've come to realize there's just no good substitute for a simple bread toaster. So I finally broke down and bought one.

Six bucks from the habitat store.
