  • How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?

    Jump

  • I am sorry I didn't realize this was an echo chamber where you can only voice validating and approving opinions.

    I mainly think banning SM is better than trying age verification or some other way to exclude children. If it is 99% toxic trash then it should just be banned.

    Next in line is 99% of all porn, which is also toxic trash. If one applies the same logic as previously, then it should be banned too.

    Unregulated use of morphine (heroine) is bad, thus we ban it.

    It is interesting though how strongly you react to porn specifically getting banned. Maybe you should reflect on that.

  • Don't worry, neither porn or social media will ever get banned :) but the fact that you react so negatively to it should perhaps make you reflect upon your own habits, the way people using social media should reflect upon theirs.

  • I have been pro banning all for-profit social media for years. I can live without Reddit. Especially now with Lemmy and fediverse. I can even live with no social media whatsoever. We should probably ban all porn too. It is just as brain rotting as social media. I say this as someone who does watch porn. I can live without it if society gets better from banning it.

  • Is Ubuntu Treating Its Users as If They Can’t Be Trusted?

    Jump

  • They are not entirely wrong for not trusting them though. I have broken more than one Ubuntu installs... and I consider myself a semi-advanced user.

    If more windows people join and Ubuntu wants to keep them, they need protection from doing stupid things like uninstalling all display and graphics drivers or system critical packages...

    Don't underestimate people's stupidity, at least that something that Microsoft and apple get right.

  • Emotional Support From Social Media Found to Reduce Anxiety

    Jump

  • It can be both. I am certain that there isn't one explanation for it. What i describe is the feedback loop. What you describe is the initial conditions. Combined they spell disaster.

  • Emotional Support From Social Media Found to Reduce Anxiety

    Jump

  • This is why we have so much tribalism, polarization and extremism today too though. People find their information bubble, gets validated for the shit they say (i.e. emotional support), feel good about it so they post more and more extreme shit and validate (give emotional support) to others in the bubble.

    Now you have an extremist movement. Getting emotional support/validation from strangers on the internet is not always a good thing. Even if it makes you feel less anxious. Some people should feel anxious about the things they think about.

    Russians identify Poland and Lithuania as their greatest enemies

    Jump

  • It is so they can fantasize about being captured and used as a sex slave by the blond hot amazonians instead of plotting the 'accidental' death of their abusive commander who stole half of their wage and threatened to send them on a suicide mission if they complain. Or something like that.

  • My wife came out as gay last night

    Jump

  • It warms my heart that you still want to be friends with her and not rip things up completely. It must have been so difficult for her to come out, given that she would risk losing you completely. I hope you find a way to move forward from this. It is as you said nobody's fault.

    My sympathies to you for having your life shaken like this...

  • Europe must stop ‘dreaming’ about defence without US, Rutte warns

    Jump

  • Yeah the Arctic and North Atlantic are important to Europe without a doubt. No name change needed, just Europe taking more initiative, leadership and becoming more central in the organization.

    Canada is a natural partner in the Arctic and North Atlantic. So is of course also the USA, but they cannot be trusted: (

  • Europe must stop ‘dreaming’ about defence without US, Rutte warns

    Jump

  • That's what I am thinking. NATO is a USA centered alliance for looking after US interests. European interest happened to coincide with theirs for a long time, but clearly the USA is growing increasingly disinterested. Europeans should probably take over most of it, make it a Europe centered alliance.

  • Europe must stop ‘dreaming’ about defence without US, Rutte warns

    Jump

  • But he said that it is pointless to try, that it is too expensive to try to defend Europe without the USA. Read the article. He ridiculed the idea of European defence without the USA.

  • EU inks 'mother of all deals' with India amid global trade turmoil

    Jump

  • How long before the EU parliament manages to sabotage this deal too?

  • Europe must stop ‘dreaming’ about defence without US, Rutte warns

    Jump

  • I guess he is afraid that European independent security will make NATO irrelevant and in turn make him irrelevant (and unemployed). Go suck Trump's dick harder, we still cannot hear the slurping from across the Atlantic. He's gone native on us.

  • Europe must stop ‘dreaming’ about defence without US, Rutte warns

    Jump

  • Is this even for real? We are not doing it just for fun, it is a necessity forced on us by Trump using the USA security leverage against us to conquer territory.

    What the fuck does he want us to do? Just roll over and do what Trump wants? On whose side is he? Because he is not on Europe's side.

  • Denominator, go Mercator

  • Ah that makes a lot more sense! 😅

  • Africa is fucking vast! I always knew that,but looking at mercator maps puts it in perspective. You could comfortably fit Russia into it, the worlds largest country by are 😳

  • Let me know if I understand correctly. You want a true to life sized map of earth? 😳

  • Do you agree?

  • I not only talk about my brain as if it isn't part of me, I talk to it as if it isn't part of me.

    Like I reprimand it and tell it what it should do. Not that it ever listens...

  • Digital liberation: EU Parliament calls for detachment from US tech giants

    Jump

  • Decoupling will be gradual and take many years, unless things escalate and the EU decides to decouple without an alternative in place.

    That would however be extremely costly and I think they want to avoid that.

    The advantage of a sudden shift is of course that change will happen faster due to necessity. But as I mentioned, at a greatly increased cost.

    The question is how long will Europe stand being humiliated by Trump every second day?
