  • What are your alternatives to proton?

    Jump

  • The hate for proton is because the CEO Andy Yen retweeted Trump announcing his pick for assistant attorney general for antitrust cases. His retweet included commentary fawning over Republicans as “standing for the little guys.” When criticized the company doubled down and supported him but then said they wouldn’t be making any more comments because it was a distraction.

    If that isn’t enough, someone noticed that CEO Andy’s Reddit username is ”andy1011000.” The numbers at the end are binary for “88” - a well known pro-Nazi dog whistle. He says this is only a coincidence and is meant to refer to being born in 1988.

    So in summary he is publicly praising fascists and has a username which coincidentally has a pro-Nazi reference.

    Kanye West takes back Nazi statements after backlash: I’m not a Nazi | The Express Tribune

  • I think you will find, Mr. West, that it is not so easy to unring the bell. If you are truthfully NOT a Nazi then I would say you have a long road of public actions fighting Nazis convincingly if you wish to be believed.

  • Tennessee Republican women’s group moves to get Hitler reference off website | Chattanooga Times Free Press

    Jump

  • I would just like to point out that the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted an online statement stating “Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.”

    It seems like the sort of thing that should be in text as well as screenshots just so we can help out any future web crawlers coming through these parts.

  • Is the World Becoming Uninsurable?

    Jump

  • It is a good point but I have a family member who will begrudgingly not push back too much about whether climate change is happening (though you can tell he wants to) but will argue that you can’t prove it’s man made.

    You’re fighting decades of propaganda and it’s hard.

  • Nah that place is fine. I got a ring there and they basically gave it to me. It’s really high quality and I love it. It is precious to me.

  • "I'll move to Linux if it runs every game I want" just say that you never will move

    Jump

  • You ever seen this XKCD about “today’s 10,000?”

    Your rant reminds me of that because I think you’ve got this idea in your head that everyone in life is at the same point in their journey as you are now. Linux has been on the edge of my mind for awhile but I’m a really busy working person and learning a new operating system seems daunting when you don’t have the experience.

    Then I bought a Steamdeck last year and a switch flipped in my head; I was like hey this gaming on Linux and it looks like it is actually doable. Then a few weeks back a misfortune resulted in Windows getting nuked on my gaming PC and I had some free time so installed Linux for the first time and started trying to figure stuff out.

    My point is that there are people who are truthfully interested but overwhelmed with life or it’s just not as high a priority to them so it hasn’t happened yet but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. This approach of “they would have done it by now if they were going to” just seems silly to me. People have lives and we are all at different places in our journey.

  • Fox News says they are "fair and balanced"

    Jump

  • I was raised conservatively in a very Republican part of the country with Fox News and Rush Limbaugh everywhere I went. I totally understand what you mean. Propaganda works.

    As I grew older and became more educated (in the university sense) I really began to question how I had been raised but still was unsure of everything. Would you believe that it was Elon Musk - of all people - who convinced me climate change was real?

    This was 20ish years ago now when he wasn’t publicly fascist, transphobic, etc. I found an interview with him on the topic and the interviewer asked something like “What would you say to all of those who are skeptical of climate change?”

    He replied along the lines of “Climate change is a scientific idea proposed from the analysis of scientific data. If you want to properly analyze and critique a scientific idea it should be using the language of science, which is statistical probability. In science few things are 100% fact but rather are analyzed in terms of the probability of something being true. So we should ask ourselves what is the probability that climate change is really happening as the scientists say. Even if that number is low - say it’s only 1% - that it a 1% risk of catastrophe to our planet and lives. Isn’t that enough of a risk for us to do something about it?”

    I started looking at things very differently after hearing that perspective and was more open to looking at information with less of my previous bias and then suddenly I realized it was much much larger than 1% even.

  • Dying boy, 15, gets wish: losing virginity [Chicago Sun Times, Dec. 23, 2001]

    Jump

  • Strongly disagree. The patient remains anonymous so not a breach of confidentiality. Beyond that, there is value to society in everyone seeing and contemplating the ethics of a situation like this. Because it is an extreme, unusual circumstance it forces you to examine your moral and belief systems to try and determine what you would have done and what you believe is “right.” Such introspection is critical for all of us to grow and hopefully do the best thing when we are thrust into an unusual moral dilemma.

    The unexamined life is not worth living.

  • Have you used so-called "AI" for actually productive work ?

    Jump

  • I’m a radiologist and our group uses an LLM tool to assist with generating reports on imaging studies. Our reports have a body that includes all of the imaging findings (which we dictate) and then a conclusion/summary calling out what is most important (and serving as a tl;dr for other physicians). The LLM tool analyzes the body to generate that summary of important findings. It certainly is not perfect and frequently requires some editing. Overall it is faster than me creating the summary each time though.

  • Scientists find hip implant materials with the lowest risk of needing revision

    Jump

  • A University of Bristol-led study has found that hip implants made with a delta ceramic or oxidized zirconium head paired with a highly crosslinked polyethylene liner or cup show the lowest risk of revision within 15 years after surgery.

  • Just a little guy

    Jump

  • You’re not totally wrong but some things are not so easily treated as with rescue breathing. This is the same problem with any paralytic agent (e.g. botulism) is that the mechanism of death is suffocation since you can’t breathe. But from a rescue standpoint its really easy to breathe for someone whereas its not easy to stop multiple lacerations leading to exanguination and I think that is the point they were making is that this could be a survivable event if a rescuer is nearby.
