  • Proton's biased article on Deepseek

    Jump

  • I know, I was on a big anti-google crusade and Proton seemed like an easy plug-n-play for a lot of the same services. That's OK, I'm not really an "all your eggs in one basket" kind of person anyway.

  • If that's true, it's in the billionaires best interest to help, but I feel like their solutions are slavery or autonomous robots instead of wealth redistribution.

  • Given the rate and age of onset of dementia / Alzheimer's for people with ADHD, I can understand where you'd get this. But no, I wouldn't use the example as evidence of advanced aging or senility, it happens for kids, too.

  • Oh I know, let's add more lanes and car traffic flow controls. That's proven successful

  • Hospital admissions for lack of vitamins soaring in England, NHS figures show

    Jump

  • The Organic Consumers Association cites several other studies with similar findings: A Kushi Institute analysis of nutrient data from 1975 to 1997 found that average calcium levels in 12 fresh vegetables dropped 27 percent; iron levels 37 percent; vitamin A levels 21 percent, and vitamin C levels 30 percent. A similar study of British nutrient data from 1930 to 1980, published in the British Food Journal,found that in 20 vegetables the average calcium content had declined 19 percent; iron 22 percent; and potassium 14 percent. Yet another study concluded that one would have to eat eight oranges today to derive the same amount of Vitamin A as our grandparents would have gotten from one.

    Scientific American - Dirt Poor: Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious?

    I didn't consult their methodology, but these figures aren't too out of alignment. However, take with a grain of salt. Sure, maybe Vitamin A has decreased in oranges. They have 2 out of a recommended 900 mcg of it, you were not going to eat 450 oranges to hit your vitamin A goals for the day.

  • Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government”

  • And we can trust the reliability of the data, given the sterling reputation of Twitter and Musk himself, of course.

  • 3rd option could be he realized most people bought the propaganda and he'd convince more people if he indicated it changed along the way. "We were a democracy but now we're not" is a shorter bridge to walk than "everything you've learned about the US isn't correct"

  • Online Gaming Platforms And YouTube Will Also Seemingly Be Banned For Aussies Under 16

    Jump

  • What you say is true, but also ignores the alt-right pipelining that YouTube and others are seemingly complicit in, or at the very least is the result of perverse incentives.

    And I'll say the exact same thing about TikTok. It's serving as primary sources for many problems around the world, it's giving more broad and informed, collegiate level discussions of the world, and it's full of brainrotting limbic hijacking. All true and I don't think any generation is fully equipped to deal it.

    We can also see historically that banning a "vice" has never effectively removed the vice from society.
