Some of it is definitely bots, but don't discount the human factor either. Russia had an entire branch of the military dedicated to trolling the Internet at least as far back as 2015. Something tells me that hasn't gotten smaller since then. No doubt they work in tandem with bots as well, constantly editing their output, maybe even making posts from the same accounts.

The fediverse may be small compared to the behemoths, but I don't think we're so small as to be ignored.

Sure, they'll privatize what they can, but they need a way to keep those corporate entities in line. They don't want to give up their own power, and their power lies in their position in government. If they go too far, they risk being thrown under the bus themselves. They'll need to leave the treasury intact, at least, along with some kind of enforcement arm. Maybe we'll see some drastic restructuring of the military soon.

Well, not all of the government. Just the parts that could hold them accountable for anything they do.

That dude posts so much so frequently, it's extremely fishy

... Yeah, Uber eats is another way people with problems like this get taken advantage of. Weird that you feel the need to be snarky about it

Put a sign on the door that says "welcome to the blahaj zone"

Kind of an odd and short article. Gives a decent rundown for OBS's complaint but doesn't even attempt to explain why the Fedora devs would be resistant to fixing a borked package.

My understanding is that the most reliable resource on that topic is the us army's improvised munitions handbook. (though I haven't read it and probably wouldn't be able to understand it even if I had)

Just to be pedantic, the "let alone" turn of phrase is meant to imply that the second thing has a higher standard. So in this case it should be corrected to "this wouldn't hold up in a Victorian age court, let alone a modern one."

Yeah but now we've got a US admin that will pretend to believe it. This is theater for MAGA to justify themselves to the base while they do everything they can do break Ukraine.

On the one hand calling it AI is annoying, but on the other we've been calling video game NPC logic "AI" for as long as I can remember and no one thinks they're actually sapient. Surely we can get to that point with GenAI as well.

I think it's possible to pasteurize eggs

For sure it's possible. Like you said, they do it for eggnog. I used to work for an ice cream company and we'd do it by thoroughly whisking them and then slooooowly stirring them into a hot mix of cream and sugar and whatnot. Not totally sure how you'd do it for this but I'm sure there's a way; maybe if you're getting the butter hot you could use that? But also not sure what benefit eggs would impart here. Maybe an extremely subtle flavor but as far as I can tell their purpose in cookies is their structure, which isn't all that relevant for an edible dough.

Browning the butter is an interesting idea, I might try that. I worry it could reduce the moisture content though; the reason I add extra is to make up for the lack of moisture from eggs and there's already so much, I wouldn't want to add even more butter or oil lol. Maybe I could straight up add water but then I usually freeze it and idk if that would be a problem long term
