That was how the put them in buckets.
But I think it’s at least as likely as not that whoever wrote that rule chose those buckets to be “unclean” because people got more sick more often. “I got sick once after eating it” is still one of the biggest reasons some people don’t like seafood. Your brain is very good at turning single bad events into “don’t touch this” if there isn’t a body of safe interactions to fall back to.
To be fair, I absolutely respect keeping the development focused. Feature creep keeps projects from getting core shit done properly.
No, it isn’t even a little hard. It’s super simple pre-parsing of the input that can trivially be done client side before the query even touches their server. Advanced users who use those tools are perfectly capable of taking the extra step to indicate to the engine that they’re doing a real search, and the worst case is still far less intensive per search than any of the LLM nonsense they added to every search and is almost never useful in any way.
They choose not to. It’s exactly that simple.
Here’s the thing though. You absolutely could still use operators reasonably well even if the results are fuzzier.
You just use them to control how you leverage the algorithm. AND feeds the algorithm the two sides and filters to results that appear on both. OR joins the two result sets. “Filetype” filters the result set for results that are the relevant file type. Etc.
If they’re not that common they’re not going to have meaningful costs, especially when most power users don’t use them for most of their searches.
Pixelfed supports tags, so even if the official team didn’t want to do that, it should be possible to make an alternate front end with different tools to allow you to categorize pictures in other ways without having to interfere with the actual mechanisms/structures storing pictures.
It would also be perfectly possible to branch further from Pixelfed, but still keep compatibility federation-wise to leverage the social stuff. This would, in theory, allow you to focus more on the portfolio aspect on your own site, while still also having the social feed portions for people to follow your work in real time. It might be easier to implement something like requiring moderator review before a comment on a picture displays with a harder fork.
That’s all way past the scope of what I’d have time for, though. I’m more likely to make something simpler from scratch that fits my own criteria.
So what I mean is that, to me, a real gallery type site would allow you to do things like filter down by tags and explore specific types of posts by an artist that catches your attention, with combinations of filters, etc. (This would obviously depend on how they used tagging as well.) pixelfed is also built around adding pictures as posts.
There are third party clients that can present information different ways, but the actual website is how you’d generally expose people to your content (especially because it’s not something massively popular like instagram). It also, while good at what it is, just doesn’t provide the kind of control over structure and organization that I personally would prefer to share my pictures with, which is why I haven’t managed to bring myself to add my pictures in bulk there.
But like I said, it’s good at what it is and may fit his needs better than mine, so it’s worth a good look.
That and an API (both things that there are search results implying they’re on the roadmap at some point) and my use would go way up I think.
It’s definitely not why I subscribed, but I’d definitely be all for options to use as many productivity tools as part of my subscription as possible.
It would be nice if it (at least optionally) was available separated into its own app at some point.
Might be worth checking out Pixelfed. It’s more a replacement for Instagram than DeviantArt, and isn’t really structured like a gallery, so may not suit your needs. But I’m going to mention it anyways, simply because I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for and it is an open source, federated, reasonable way to show your work.
Ask questions. Evidence trumps all. Oh and I guess be nice.
But at that point it’s effectively antithetical to anything religion is. Like the actual teachings of Jesus in the Bible are mostly good to live by. But because 90% of Christians (or other religions/pick a sect) never actually read the Bible, the actual religion in practice is a lot of preachers spreading their own shit or whatever the hierarchy says. And the core concept is to ignore reality and blindly trust the impossible.
I’m always skeptical of anything LLM, but this looks like an interesting use case on the surface.
I don’t do much dessert any more.
Carrot cake with a lot of cinnamon and cardamom and cream cheese frosting is the biggest exception. Or just like chocolate chip banana bread.
To be fair, I don’t think he’s actually a bad dude either. Again, flawed, but reasonably well intentioned.
The “worst” thing they did was definitely developing feelings while she’s engaged to Roy, but most of that was the nature of working in close proximity. It’s inherently different than sneaking around to spend “platonic” time together for a bunch of hours by choice. He had feelings, but mostly didn’t cross the line. I don’t think he’s a terrible person for laying his feelings on the line when she’s engaged to someone he doesn’t like either. Actually married is the line where it moves to completely not OK.
But yeah, the whole end thing really wasn’t anyone being awful. He unilaterally made some decisions that should have been a partnership, and he was wrong to put that much stress on her without talking to her and hearing her. Because they had kids, primarily. But he did recognize that and came back and made the commitment to their family. Then, once she had time to actually breathe again, she was ready to take the leap with him.
That was longer than I meant it to be again lol. But I was surprised to hear the take (and that it was more popular than I’d guess) because it genuinely never occurred to me. She was in pretty deep and he was lashing out from the stress of the situation before she even vocalized her problems with it. (At least from what we see.)
It doesn’t matter if the copy is all at once. Every bit of the file touching your computer involves multiple copies. It is fundamentally impossible to share any file without copies being made. The original digitization is already probably illegal because it’s for the purpose of distribution and not one of the fair use exceptions. Again, this is exactly identical to the claim that pirate sites providing streaming is legal.
Libraries do not make copies. Legally, it’s exactly that simple. There is no ambiguity in any way. It is copyright infringement under current law. It is not possible to defend this without throwing current law in the trash and starting over from scratch. If the judge did somehow rule in IA’s favor the Supreme Court could overrule him in about 30 seconds with basically no deliberation. Courts do not have the authority to change the law.
There’s no possible way to apply the law where the Internet Archive is permitted to do their lending program. It very clearly is illegal copyright infringement that does not come anywhere close to fair use.
The judges do not have the authority to completely overrule both the text of the law and the massive body of precedent. The Supreme Court could, except the Constitution explicitly grants Congress the right to regulate IP how they see fit, and the law is super clear that you can’t do anything that resembles what IA is doing in any way.
I was listening to a football podcast (they go off topic in the offseason because there isn’t a lot to talk about), and they had a whole rant about how Pam Beasley is a monster.
Because she was friends with Jim while dating Roy. (Yeah him having feelings for her wasn’t exactly a shocker, but it’s different when it’s you. And she shut him down clearly when he actually made a move.)
Because she did the art school thing, I guess?
Because she was sad when Jim was dating Karen. (She did genuinely try to be her friend despite that, and went to cry in a corner alone.)
And because there was tension when Jim did Athlead. (Which if you actually watch, was him biting her head off when she messed up with a video of a recital, and him instigating a couple other times, presumably because of the stress of the situation, while she was being run ragged as almost a single mother at home.)
And because apparently chasing your dreams going to New York to go to art school while in a relationship is the same as doing it when you’re actually married and have kids. But she didn’t bend over backward enough to support him I guess?
It’s just really weird to me, and he’s not the only one with that weird twist on the character. (No she’s not perfect. Sitcoms are all characters who are kind of monsters. But her as the bad guy doesn’t make sense.)

So this article was included with Omnivore, which is suggested elsewhere in this thread, but it does provide a bunch of well structured arguments for the utility of a dedicated app.
I’m guessing you’d have to be pretty deliberate about preventing corrosion.
For me personally just salt water goes a long way, though. I go to the beach when I can and I’ll spend an hour floating in 2 feet of 60° water and feel amazing for a week.
I think your best bet is probably some kind of kiddy pool/pet bath with sufficient depth. Even most jacuzzi style tubs aren’t actually big enough for an adult to float in.
Would take a lot of salt though.
I get them. I don’t always answer.
I tend not to get along well with the kind of people who think I have to drop everything to respond to them, so it’s fine.
