  • Airport jungle juice

  • The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

    It's not "we don't allow liquids cause they may be explosive". It's "we don't allow liquids cause if you have any in your luggage, we won't be able to correctly detect explosives you might also have".

    That's why some airports now allow liquids. Newer scanners can detect explosives even in luggages that also contain liquids.

    Nobody thinks your bottle of water is dangerous. But your bottle of water will prevent the explosives detector from working.

    It's not "too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane". It's "we can't detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it".

  • Choose wisely!

    Jump

  • Yeah, but that's an argument against being able to live forever, not an argument against evolution being able to happen, if you did.

  • Choose wisely!

    Jump

  • That is indeed what happens, and it is helpful. But I disagree evolution wouldn't happen without it.

  • What brought you to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I used the Android app Boost for Reddit. One day I opened it as usual, browsed as usual, but something felt a bit odd. Turns out it was updated into being a Lemmy app instead. Fair enough then, I continued my scrolling.

  • There is also nothing inherently wrong with "optimization" and "automation". It's just that they are buzzwords and how the tech bros approach these topics.

  • Hmm, why can't there be evolution without death? As long as organisms reproduce, genes are passed on, and some reproduce more successfully than others, why would it matter if existing individuals stay around or not? I don't see how it makes evolution fundamentally impossible.

  • Linus Torvalds with Linus Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips)

    Jump

  • It was NOT found to be untrue. Full stop. It was found to be unsubstantiated.

    You are right, I was imprecise. What I meant is that "it was not found to be true", not that "it was found to be not true".

    Jump

  • Yeah, he was stupid to have that idea. But nobody was actually wronged in the end.

  • Linus Torvalds with Linus Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips)

    Jump

  • I think it looks good for the integrity of Linus that he took the blame and never revealed the identity of the logistics employee that made the mistake of misassigning the prototype for the auction. He could've easily thrown them under the bus and fired them instead, because their mistake did real reputational damage to the company.

  • Sexual harassment

    It was found to be an untrue allegation by a third party. You can of course choose to not believe them, but there was never any proof and everyone who works there denies it (and a lot of women work there), so take of that what you will.

    poor work life balance

    Very true

    anti union

    Linus is not anti-union. He said he would consider it a personal failure if his employees felt the need to unionize, but he supports their right to do so.

  • The warranty for his (I think it was a) backpack, was trust me bro.

    To be fair, the warranty was proposed to be "trust me bro", the community very much didn't like that, so it actually came with a real warranty when it launched. So it never actually happened.

  • Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn

    Jump

  • The VPN is not supposed to protect you from an authoritarian government, it's meant to bypass the ID requirement, which it does very well.

  • There are two kinds of people.

    Jump

  • Yeah, and for a top-down game depth is up/down. You know, like depth being... Deep down.

  • There are two kinds of people.

    Jump

  • Except when you are working on top-down game/3D environment. In which case you are constantly changing between Z and Y...

  • I just 💚 them and think they're neat.

    Jump

  • Lol, you can't admit to losing an argument, can you.

  • Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

    Jump

  • Silly? No I would love that, imagine if all games listed all the tools used in its creation, it would be so informative!

  • LTT Guesses price, 699USD, eats whole cake if hes 60USD off

    Jump

  • Most of that attack piece was shown to be fake allegations though. It did contain some valid criticism, and the valid parts were resolved.

    Jump

  • A different creator spouted a bunch of lies in an attack video, was a big drama, nobody cared when it was proven wrong later and the community sentiment in many online spaces is like this now. Standard drama sells corrections don't thing.
