  • A product of his environment

    Jump

  • HOA plus calling a priest to have the house blessed certainly point in that direction though. But I don't think that would be legal everywhere even there. Isn't much use to you though if the neighbour is the kind of psycho to shoot someone over this.

  • Studie zeigt, wie Tierhalter Vermögen verlieren: Veganer machen Ställe wertlos

    Jump

  • In nem ökonomischen Kontext könnte man das schon so bezeichnen, wenn jetzt plötzlich jeder veganer wäre, aber selbst dann ist aber ganz klar mit Absicht so formuliert, um das als was schlechtes darzustellen.

    In solchen Fällen macht die freie Marktwirtschaft halt mal das, was sie so macht bei sinkender Nachfrage. Das passierte ja auch nich von heute auf morgen, man hätte ja schon vorher auf was anderes umsteigen können. Mal davon abgesehen, dass Deutschland insgesamt immer noch verdammt viel Fleisch isst.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

    Jump

  • It would need to have an atmosphere, so asteroids and most (all? Idk not an astronomer) moons are out.

    Mars might be feasible at some point in the far future, but there's still the lag problem of 3-20 minutes depending on time of year, so not very useful for anything user facing.

  • Same in germany. One of many things that disproportionately affect poor people.

  • New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes

    Jump

  • I should've clarified, with "this" i mean more the general sentiment about regulation of these lootboxes that I've seen in other contexts as well - other than the general topic I don't really have an opinion on the lawsuit other than it seeming a bit ridicous to reimburse every customer in full.

  • New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes

    Jump

  • There is one core difference to most other lootboxes, and it's that the skins you get from them have a tangible real world value. It is actually, in every way, resemblant of a slot machine. Put in money, receive an amount of money that is less than what you put in on average (though I guess it's never 0).

    I'd have far more support for this if we didn't have something matching this entirely for decades, completely legal for kids, with the only difference being that you get a physical item instead of something digital. Of course, I'm referring to trading cards. By all means regulate both, but regulating the digital version while not touching the physical one is insane.

  • Vegetarians have ‘substantially lower risk’ of five types of cancer, a major study found

    Jump

  • Which studies? A quick search doesn't seem to confirm that at all. From checking some of those studies, there seems to be a weak/low certainty correlation of lower meat consumption with lower cancer risks, a correlation (with geographical differences) of meat consumption with being overweight, but also other factors like smoking and low physical activity which really call into question whether other studies took that into account, and also a correlation between higher meat consumption and lower risk for depression (which I would also call into question given meat consumption's correlation with high socioeconomic status).

    All I can get from those metastudies is a big nothing burger of "maybe"'s in either direction.

  • Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs

    Jump

  • I've always acted assuming this to be possible, but it used to require either an unhinged individual or some other reason for a very dedicated investigation. The barrier being potentially that much lower is scary, particularly for anyone with a bit of internet fame that would rather stay anonymous

  • huh. didn't expect that

    Jump

  • Having steam installed both ways was the easiest way to be logged in to 2 steam accounts simultaneously.

    But also why does it matter, the whole point of arch is that you can turn it into whatever the hell you want. If that means using discover as your main source for programs, then so be it.

  • Twitch is requiring new affiliates to give their government ID and a separate photo to Persona

    Jump

  • You need to fill tax info and everything, which is a very good reason to not need ID because your tax number should be identifying already. I guess they want to combat fraud, but this still seems like a complete overreach.

  • Discord’s new blog post shouldn’t change your mind on them at all.

    Jump

  • Nitro is pretty popular. I know a lot of people including myself that cancelled it over the age verification bs.

    They still clearly make money through ads and at the very least they scan messages for spam prevention, but also the fact that they are able to guess users age based on discord usage implies they're profiling users. For which they probably also utilize message content.

  • We're just scanning for the bear...

  • I am nervous walking in the dark by myself. I simultaneously am relatively tall and will be perceived as male by anyone, so I also try to be wary of how I might make anyone else nervous.

    The actual experience that most women have of smaller aggressions even in safer contexts probably also plays a role. I'm probably nervous walking alone at night because of a combination of being physically quite weak in spite of my looks, having experienced bullying throughout my childhood so "unpleasant random encounters" is a concept engraved into my brain, and because I'm affected by reading/hearing about any kind of assault happening to people walking alone.

    Replace the bullying with "random men being assholes/threatening/worse" and most women have all 3 of those factors as well.

  • Is it that surprising? Age play is a thing, plus so much porn has actresses dressed up to look like a child for some reason (the reason is people are into it). It's just that, same as any other fetish that will harm people if acted on, 99% of that 1.5% are just gonna be normal about it and not diddle kids.

  • my bf says sleeping with your balls out is the male equivalent

    Jump

  • Women's breasts are far more sensitive. Also the part where usually they're in a bra all day probably matters.

  • What do y’all think about Cloudflare?

    Jump

  • I've found that clicking them slower (until the new image is fully faded in) can help for the ones that have images disappearing after clicking, and not actually clicking every square containing part of the traffic light (if it's only a tiny edge) helps with the ones that are one image of a thing. I guess being fast or noticing details isn't human enough. Having to wait is insanely annoying though.

  • disliking tech bros ≠ disliking tech

    Jump

  • In the strictest sense there is no technical definition because it all depends on what is "intelligence", which isn't something we have an easy definition for. A thermostat learning when you want which temperature based on usage stats can absolutely fulfill some definitions of intelligence (perceiving information and adapting behaviour as a result), and is orders of magnitude less complex than neural networks.

    US Gold Medal Olympian Amber Glenn: "They Hate To See Two Woke Bitches Win"

    Jump

  • Woke absolutely is a thing, tons of people self describe as woke, it just doesn't mean what the right thinks it does. Or more accurately, it's a word with different meanings. They're either using it as an actual self description or specifically to annoy the rightoids. Or both.
