Japanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as “アスキーアートエディタ” (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to “trace” image.
Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editors were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike “AA artist” in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.
You can expect more interaction on the showethought itself. IMO microblogs are more about poster, thread style forum is for a topic.
Not all printers are, but FDM printers are. SLA printers, the one uses projector and resin to makr high detailed figurines or parts with precision are basically fancy nail polish and curing light combimed.
And all the mining waste are dumped in space, where people thought out of human’s reach so it’s safe to leave it there, until proven otherwise. I may be pessimistic, but if such technological advance made it will likely expand region of human activity and thus history repeats.
Octopuses too. Excellent problem solving, retaining long-term and short-term memory, recognizing how mirror works and so forth.
But they’re delicious.
I always check price/weight, and its increase has been ridiculous. For ones that don’t increase price also taste different, sadly. The best way to detect real value vs. price is look into nutrition tables but I don’t have the all database memorized lol so they’ll get away with it. :/

IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.
I’m all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It’s been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.
But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn’t seem to be the right tool.
Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.
I even ‘favorite’-d a tweet instead of like back then…
I looked for safety topic and found almost none (just brief mention in introduction). This research’s scope is mental health so it’s understandably out of their scope, but endorsing something should always weight both benefit and risks.
Natural water body never guaranteed to be safe, no matter how it looks on surface. Many lives lost because of OWS every year. Personal floating jacket is bare minimum, won’t guarantee safety either.
If it only drives the far-right, does that mean Facebook contributed shifting in window of discourse? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window)
They added chronological, follow-only feed in recent update. Would you return if they have it now? How much ppl returning will be an indicator of its future.
Using engagement for metric will ofc render algorithmic feed “better”, i.e. addictive. Their value is not about mental wellbeing.
And not some random snakes around there, it’s the exact same snake.
Give a proper first aid for minor injuries. People tend to dissmiss minor burn/cut/bruises, but first aid right after it is what minimizes lingering pain,.
Not against the technology development itself, but it’s a fix temporary, symptomatic treatment at best. It does not address the root cause.
In the analogy makeup, it needs to be cleansed every day and applied everday again to keep effectiveness and avoid adverse effect to the skin. Symptomatic treatment needs upkeep once employed while the root cause is still there. And in case of aerosol injectiom even after the root cause is resolved, retrieval of those particles from atmosphete is much difficult and costly. There are countless technology that seemed reasonal fix at the moment later revealed to be of harm due to oversight.
Is my pov doom and gloom? Maybe. However there are tremendous uncertainty, and the global nature of aerosol injection its effect on existing system is hard to predict, if not impossible. New technology develoment needs to come with development of its harm reduction / retrieval method (as in cleanser analogy).
