Sometimes wearing a mask near to trees / pollen works wonders.

But who is the fool, he is doing this because he can, no one dares question him,,

Unless victims and society stands up and says 'enough is enough, this stops NOW' and takes collective action nothing will change.

For some reason we are scared of the rich or by the nonsense they are above the law.

So not in a literal sense, perhaps we could see it this way

Take a person who is on the poverty line, and needs to use a food bank, can't afford bills etc and also take someone who is super rich (musk, zukerberg , oil bosses or other person on grotesque wages, both dressed accordingly

NOW make both strip naked, what do you have,? Simple 2 naked humans, physically the same. They are equal

Both are also accountable under the law, both can be put in prison, both can be punished or equally set free of not guilty.

just needs a change in mindset before it is too late.

@GreenFire

To reply as if one was to reply to that tweet

Maybe you should think about the people you follow then.
Common sense costs nothing

I have been watching salvage hunters, classic cars. Some of the people they go to, for help can make anything, they have years of exeprience, in somecases they have worked for the very car company, who they make stuff for that car, cover seating for example.

A good engineer can use their decades of experience to achieve a task, but that experience also includes knowing others that can help, So improving a wheel performance, they can do that, making a component to help restore a vehicle they can do that too. could be a door handle or a small plug thing to hold something together, the other day they scanned one in, and 3d printed a replica.

I think AI has some way to go, it is not about going and find know how it is about experience.

I had a conversation on IRC last year, where a question was asked, and I remembered reading about the 'expect' script 20 years ago, went to look at up, it was a good solution to what this person was looking for.

@tomcrinstam

While boosts are good, a reply and tagging someone in, is also good in some circumstances. I did this earlier, replied and tagged in my instance in.

@tomcrinstam

I am sure it becomes apparent, very quickly to people who are looking for a reaction, they are not going to get that here or at least not the sort of reaction they are looking for.

If I find an interesting science story on here, I may repost on my blog, BUT I credit the fediverse as the source of the story post, and then also link to scienceforums for discussion, that is what a forum is for.

So hopefully best of both worlds, somewhere to discuss the topic at hand, while acknowledging I found the story on the fediverse.

However if one wants a reaction, you generally need to ask a specific question about the subject matter.

@tomcrinstam

Agreed, I generally post or reply to something in order to try and add to the conversation. I think those of us here are here to get away from what you describe.

On mainstream social media everyone seems to have something to say on mainstream social media or they want to be 'the person' who posts 'THAT video' of an event as if they feel it is their duty.

Look at what happened yesterday someone crashed in to the dowining street barrier and according to the BBC News, they had people with their mobile phones out to take pictures / video for their social feeds. We don't know the facts yet that person could easily have had a heart attack, or other medical condition that caused them to crash. The last thing they want is to be all over social media.

I would like to see a list like this too, it would really help explain the terminilogy being used.
