You are not the arbiter of what is "childish".

This style of condescension does grow tiring.

At this point in time, you are in no position to be teaching any lessons to the rest of the world, other than cautionary tales of wasted potential and the self-inflicted wounds of a belligerent populace.
Yes, they've shown such concern for civilian casualties up to the present time. Enormous, crushing, exploding, shooting deadly concern.
Israel in no way offers "peace". Never have. Nor do any of the other "actors" in this tragedy.
Fewer cops, more detectives.

I had the same issues with that repo in addition to some early release controversy around its provenance.

I ended up using https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion

which has served me well so far.

Those were the days. Slackware in a box of floppy disks. Now where the heck is 6 of 14?

No there is not. This is drivel. Laughable nonsense.

You're worked up about the current manufactured bogeyman of the present. This too shall pass.

No, stranger-friend, you are not right in your assertion.

Exploding nuclear bombs destroys civilian infrastructure and harms ecosystems.

Destroying civilian infrastructure harms civilians.

Both are despicable acts of destruction.

One is not deserving of the other.

PERL was the duct tape of the early Internet. Remember CGI scripts in PERL on FreeBSD? Good Times.
You're mistaking earnest for patronizing. He's a genuinely positive dude.

> not to think about all potential fallout

You're doing it wrong then.

Ignoring ethics is lazy.

How would you know?

Have you ever been in "their" location living in "their" same socioeconomic bracket?

Would it bother you more if "their" was replaced with "our"?

Would you then consider it "decent" money?

I live in South Africa. DeGroot and his ilk were nothing like "woke". They were monsters that dehumanized citizens and murdered with impunity. You should know that, which makes your comment suspect.

> HFTs do not front run for fucks sake. It’s illegal ...

This is objectively false. Cursing does not strengthen an argument. HFTs paid to jump the queue. It should be illegal but it is not. There are a number of low-latency strategies that are beneficial for price discovery such as index arbitrage or market-making (with requirements to stay in the market). A strategy that is not beneficial is to pay the exchange for first-look. That is front-running.
