  • I don’t do anything too sophisticated, just something like:

    Scan this image of a recipe and format it as JSON that conforms to the schema defined at https://schema.org/Recipe.

    Sometimes it puts placeholders in that aren’t valid JSON, so I don’t have it fully automated… But it’s good enough for my needs.

    I’ve thought that the various Nextcloud cookbook apps should do this for sites that don’t have the recipe object… But I don’t feel motivated to implement this myself.
















  • If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s the greed of corporations. That means they will try to cut costs every means possible in order to maximise profit. If going green saves them a dime, they will do it. This isn’t a hard concept to understand.

    Will they reduce prices rather than pocket the change? Probably not… But y’all are acting like the carbon tax is meant to reduce prices??? It’s meant to save the fucking planet.


  • Sure, that happens in the short term. But it also incentivizes the biggest polluters to reduce polluting as there is now a cost associated with polluting. Maybe a competitor is able to come in with a greener process and thereby undercut the competition. This is like, capitalism 101. It boggles my mind that people can argue that a carbon tax doesn’t work.

    Also… News flash: the world is fucked and the cost of everything is going to rise no matter what. It’s time to get uncomfortable
