So this is basically what happened to Piperchat?

Not if they are innocent eyes

Check out the thought emporium on YouTube, that dude been working on yeast that make spider silk. Also tons of other cool projects

Bless you. I love that guy. So gosh darn nit-picky on the details and its the best!! Never thought hour long videos on heat pumps or refrigerators or car headlights would hold my attention or be a favorite part of my week but he makes it happen.

I'd like to throw in there that vocal training is a large part of acting training as well. I took classes like this. In fact in one we spent the whole first semester doing a little stretching routine, laying on the floor and then "moaning" or vocalizing for about an hour. (In the follow up class we started working on words, phonetics, and speaking) The whole idea is that much like how we are trained and ingrained with behaviors from society, so too is our voice a history of expectations, trauma, ect. Simply the way we hold tension in our bodies we cut off certain parts from vibrating and this results in different sounds. By vocalizing openly we found our unimpeded resonant frequency so that we could unlearn our lifetime of habits (this also includes social habits that effect how we sound and connect with another-- e.g. not holding your breath in preparation to speak something you are planning to respond when someone else is talking, it opens you up to listen, or tension from being told to sit up straight as a kid) and physical trauma. Only then could we see all the possibilities so we could make choices about how we wanted our voice to be. Everyone sounded different after that class. Sometimes really intense emotions trauma and otherwise would be released as parts of ones body finally let go. I remember just bursting out laughing in the middle one day, and there were several days I cried. It was the most centering class I've ever taken. And after that I liked my voice, I liked feeling it in my body, like a friend giving a vibrating hug

If anyone is further interested theres a fantastic book we read called "The Right to Speak: Working with the Voice" By Patsy Rodenburg that talks in great detail about these ingrained vocal habits

And considering we are at risk for loosing tons of biodiversity in the oceans from this heating (see mass coral bleaching event in florida) I think we have to start seeding clouds and whatever mitigating factors we can

Also highly recommend Buddhism, fallen a bit out of practice though. Thank you for the reminder.

No, thank you. I very much appreciate this transparency and expertise. I just wasn't sure, based on what I had seen in some 10 minutes of skimming. Thanks again for your noble volunteering!

Hey, I want to start out saying that I thank you and deeply respect you for your work on this platform. I have taken several minutes to explore this persons account on lemmy.ml and they replied that this response was supposed to be sarcastic. That was also my initial interpretation as this reply would not make very much sense literally as bigoted/bad faith people don't generally (in my limited experience, admins/mods have much more) call open minded people bigoted in direct response to others directly saying they are "keeping an open mind". I did not go back far enough in their history or didn't notice what could have caused the temp ban before. I find the person argumentative sure, but not acting in bad faith per-say nor are their stated views in many comments indicative of this. Could you, if you have the time/energy reconsider this ban and/or reply with evidence of this past bad faith that resulted in temp-ban? Thank you

Heres a totally awesome mega list of programming resources put together by someone on github, been my go-to rec for a while

bing chat is pretty great, not only do you get the benefits of search and gpt4 but also summarizing/answering questions on the webpage you have open or pdfs if you open them in edge. Only issue is that it is slower

Now are these companies stealing everything and possibly opening up a cesspit that their platforms will fall into? Absolutely. These tools are literally removing the ability for them to advertise because they are leading to less link traffic that would have google ads or otherwise and also the degradation of search tools... but by god its super useful for now

only real problem for me personally is that it gives low barrier to entry to ask about any question that pops in my ADHD brain, so I keep having more and more questions that never stop. Learning a lot tho

ok we ready, bring out grams!
