they use bamboo in the production of special carbons used in capacitors in a lot of devices. it's sustainable, apparently. I don't know anything about it really.

you're asking about what a hypothetical smart-than-myself adversary would do against me, it should be expected that any possible answer I could ever provide would be less clever than what the adversary would actually do. in other words

the AI fuckin up the PRs is bad enough, but then you have morons jumping into trying to manipulate the AI within the PR system or using the behavior as a chance to inject their philosophy or moral outrage that a developer would respond whil

a primary source is not inherently the accurate one, and collab tools like wikipedia allow for more sources -- this makes the difference. yeah it's game-able, and a bad actor can ruin work, but we're comparing it to a literal si
