    lol 30 hectares of woodland... thats about 300,000 mΒ², or 42 NHL sized ice rinks

    Is that ice rink regulation? I get 91 (if you don't worry about packing the round corners).

    I believe so, I calculated the area of the NHL rinks using lots of popsicle sticks, a flashlight (cause the lights were off), and a broom. In hindsight maybe I should have included a calculator but I ain't no nerd! /s

    Either way, that's a lot of land to cover.

    I especially like the three green plants on this logo that spell out KKK.

    Cleaning up the world and roasting AI datacenters in the same post is peak KDE energy. Honestly, respect.

    Sadly, it seems like they're going to be pro AI internally: https://discuss.kde.org/t/sorry-to-bring-up-a-contentious-topic-kde-ai-llm-policy/46333 (If you jump in to comment, please try to be constructive rather than full of rage.)

    There are appropriate and legitimate use cases for AI, especially when locally hosted. Tech/programming is one of the few. The problem is when its shoved in everyones face for everything and all the data goes to tech conglomerates

    Some of us respectfully disagree with LLMs for programming being "appropriate and legitimate", at least if that involves generating code and not just locating bugs.

    Local LLMs retain significant issues like the one shown in this clip: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 Unless your model uses 100% properly licensed training data which no code LLM I have found appears to be doing.

    Damm, that is a long thread, I spent like 25 minutes reading it and only got half way through it

    All those years of roasting made them unstoppable, goddamn

    I don't have the space to plant 30 trees unless it's in the form of a hedge, but hey, I could plant 30 of some other perennials. Been considering lilacs. Grew up with them around some of the places I'd visit and I can't get the smell out of my head, even if it's just for 2 weeks a summer. Though I guess I could see if I can get a variety of different cultivars that would flower at different times

    Do you happen to live in North America? If so I'd highly recommend checking out the Xerces society plant lists for recommended species that support local pollinators. The plant lists include timing info for suggestions on what would bloom the rest of the year, because as you mention lilacs are fairly short bloomers (might I recommend my namesake, the humble fireweed, which is a late summer bloomer?)

    Northeastern Europe actually. I'm sure there's a list I can find with timing info for my country, but Google was kinda useless. I found a bunch of articles telling me I should be planting clover, but that already naturally grows in my lawn lol
