I’m using Lemmy, and since I highly doubt the admins will implement the age control thing, the new laws will make it pretty much illegal. So, either:

• They ban it and everyone has to start using a vpn/tor to access it (which would spread the word about it, and many kids would also do it with facebook or twitter or tiktok).
• Or they don’t bother about small platforms, in which case kids will flock to those smaller platforms, which now have no incentive at all to care about legality of their content. Congrats, it’s worse now.

Requiring easier to use parental controls on phones and tablets is the actual way forward. Maybe they could publish a regularly updated list of what they consider “social media not suitable for kids” and make it the default blocklist when activating parental controls on any device.

ESH

Fuck Durov, his ancap ideology, and his lies about Telegram being “anonymous”, but also it’s dumb to try replacing parental responsibility with an outright social media ban.

That last one could get him killed if the tribe knew who he is (inshallah)

Soy milk is also great for replacing dairy in baked goods. Shame that it’s not the most popular one.

To expand on the other comment, Luddites were not necessarily against technological progress. Rather they used destruction of certain types of machinery as a political tool: to temporarily extend their power as skilled laborers, and to intimidate the factory owners into recognizing their unions or getting certain laws passed.

Yeah I think the actual experiments were for fun first and foremost, accuracy or integrity were second to that. But in general the idea of testing your existing beliefs and biases via an experiment, and changing your opinion when it turns out to be wrong, was really quite important and profound for the general public.

Human remains are not humans. I think we obsess way too much about what happens after a human dies, mostly due to historical reasons (i.e. it makes sense to be afraid of dead bodies or consider them sacred, because interacting with them could make you sick).

If you make sure that the remains are not identifiable to anyone, why not use them for anything you like?

If anything I am more annoyed that at some point they stopped bothering about only buying corpses of pigs which died from natural reasons, and started supporting the meat industry more directly by buying from the regular butchers/supermarket. Even then, I’m only very slightly annoyed.

RIP

Yeah, I’m aware. Also the new project by harvester is pretty cool. I was hinting at T2 selling rights to either of them (although I think harvester doesn’t want to do KSP anymore).

I actually saw them as concentric circles first, and the spiral effect is subtle but I can get it if I stare at the very center of the image. My vision is really bad on one eye, so I guess that might have something to do with it.

I will never forgive them for what they did to the Kerbal franchise.

Not a single cent to them, until they either release a worthy sequel, or sell off the rights for cheap to someone who will.

Conflating jews and israelis is antisemitism pushed by zionists.

It doesn’t matter much who was behind Epstein’s operation, it was primarily funded and sustained by US billionaire elite themselves, stop shifting blame away from a bunch of rapist oligarchs.

you will get errors on your errors.

Python3: hold my beer

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Why not? Not everyone has the money or knowledge/tools/time to fix it, and that’s ok. Sometimes fixing it costs more than the car itself (e.g. when Prius gets its factory cat stolen).

Also, what if the person doesn’t have a car at all?

Who are the “good guys”? The only remotely non-evil person who had a serious bid for president is Sanders, the rest are straight up pieces of shit who bankroll genocides, bomb civilians, and empower their billionaire donors. Even then, Sanders is ineffective, somewhat zionist, and old, and I don’t see a viable young replacement even for someone like him.

In the US, the political mainstream isn’t “good guys vs bad guys”, it’s 80% hitler vs 100% hitler.

The benefit of the fediverse is that it’s trivially “forkable”. If lemmy.world and other big instances get overwhelmed with bullshit, I fully expect that many smaller chill/focused instances will defederate and keep on doing their own things, chatting only with each other - no need to jump any ships. Perhaps there would also be some in-between, instances which are federated with both worlds, and where you can get a combination of tons of niche information/entertainment but with bots, and a small amount of genuine human interaction. I hope if that ever happens, lemmy-the-software gets sorting algorithms to deal with these situations.

I wouldn’t be surprised, but also I’m not sure if this is good enough evidence.

Jx is a really short string, it is probably used as a signature by dozens or hundreds of women.

The broadway thing could also have been arranged through some other channel, I’m sure epstein had plenty of connections there outside of rowling.

She’s a PoS as it is, no need to drag near-conspiracy theories into it. Same reason why it’s counterproductive to dig up wild stories about trump from the files, he’s a pedo piece of shit but those stories are clearly and obviously made up and discredit everyone who brings them up.

TBH like a half of those questions is something I could ask when I was younger, and the other half might have been asked by my friends when they were high. I hope I didn’t upset the retail workers too much…
