davek804 LinkFascinating read. 50% reduction of biodiversity in trees with this fungus is presumably pretty severe! I find how little we know about this stuff be really striking.Fascinating read. 50% reduction of biodiversity in trees with this fungus is presumably pretty severe!

Indeed, I was not directly referring to exclusively your words. I was referring to the words throughout the thread leading to my comment!
I've noticed your comments are gradually pushing me away from wanting to participate in this small community. It's maybe the second or third time at this point. I am sad about that.

Kinda feels like that wouldn't be the case with the information and POVs presented here ... But I suspect saying any subscription to any company that distributes art derived from an artist that has problematic views would be a rather messy slope.
So it's probably just easier to say you can still have an HBO subscription but just not watch the artist in question.
Really does feel like problematic gymnastics. Why not just say paying for an HBO subscription is supportive of transhate at a percentage basis?
Edit: phrasing on one sentence.

As someone making a dev container and rushing out standardized skills, mcp servers, agents, and settings for Claude code as fast as I can to keep my crew of 10-20 devs productive and standardized in a company of 10-15k people ... I'd love to find good ways to share my knowledge and context with my peers.
This could be a promising idea for the next few months / years.

Because I did the audiobook recently, I thought Rocky landed in the movie.
Good chat!

I felt they took plenty of license to rework the story for the medium, but overall it was a faithful enough retelling that I enjoyed what was presented.
I am happy I went to see it during opening weekend to contribute my two tickets worth of 'please still make sci fi imax'.
