  • Yeah, with the way activity pub works it doesn't pull the old info, it just gets new posts. I know you can usually take a link to a post and search it and it'll pull, but Friendica didn't get anything from one of the trail links, though friendica is picky

    Do you think the government should regulate who can or cannot have children?

  • Hello Lemmy user Big French Bread AT Men Going Their Own Way Lemmy DOT Org, I think you might be doing a eugenics here. Maybe you should not do a eugenics in the future. We've made the discovery several times that it is Bad for Many Reasons, and thus should not be done.

  • What news RSS feeds would you recommend for a left-leaning System Integration apprentice?

    Jump

  • If you find a site you like, you can put /feed at the end of the base URL and it'll give the RSS feed about 40% of the time, since about 40% of sites use WordPress.

    I have no direct recs aside that, just figured it was generally useful if anyone else posts a good site

  • Not sure where you are in the world, but 4tb drives are $80? Which like. $80 is a lot when you ain't got it, but in computer terms it's probably the cheapest part in the box

    RAM's expensive, storage has gotten pretty cheap, at least for HDDs.

  • Is there really a technology difference between Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11 ?

    Jump

  • This I'd, admittedly, a shaky memory from when Win10 was first released, but while you could disable the visible portions of Cortana, I remember being unable to disable the telemetry portion. Hell I remember a custom version of Win10 being built to remove all of the tracking stuff they put in it, I think RevOS was the name?

    Admittedly I haven't used Windows at all outside of work in almost 4 years, and even then it hadn't been my primary OS for a few years, so memory's fuzzy

  • NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’

    Jump

  • Why did you bring birth defects up if marriage is the concern? You don't get birth defects from a wedding.

    Also in basically every state where it's illegal to marry your cousin it's illegal to have sex with them, too.

    (When I say basically I mean I'm too tired to check half of the US's laws on this, and the source I'm using says sexual contact is generally not permitted)

  • Ehh... I've yet to get a virus from pirating games. Only virus I've ever gotten was on my childhood PC when my uncle was watching some sketchy adult content. I was just playing neopets at the time, so I doubt it was me

    Kernel level anticheat is mostly in MMORPGs, which is my preferred genre, though there are some games without it. Notably Final Fantasy XIV, and Guild Wars 2 have no anticheat in the client at all. It also depends on the anticheat how much I'm willing to put up with it. XIGNCode is a hard no from me, but nprotect, and easyanticheat are both whatever IMO. Pick your threat model though.

    The most complicated game is Wurm Online, and that's because there's something going on with my desktop where it just. Crashes. Constantly. I can usually get it to stay on indefinitely after 8 restarts, but it's annoying.

    Consoles are only future proof if you consider that eventually games will stop being released for them, and parts will stop being made. Sure you'll be able to play the games you already own on them forever, but... Also your PC will be able to run any game on them forever, at least until the hardware degrades, but that also goes for consoles.

    If you want to go fully no DRM, GOG is your best bet for most games. Itch.io is also there, but it's mostly indie games, which isn't everyone's scene.

    Overall I don't think of it as complicated, but I've been PC gaming consistently for... 25 ish years? I'm largely used to it.

  • 25 US stated by my count, but also I let my ethics develop separately from the law. There's been a lot of very questionable things in the law in the past, and as such it's not exactly a trustable guide for ethics imo.

    That's not the point you presented here, though. The point you presented here was birth defects.

    The point you brought up there I still object to, though. While there can be power dynamics between cousins, it's fairly rare for those to continue into adulthood, and I have long taken the stance "I don't believe the state should have a say in what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home."

    The line that's been drawn is people allowing their disgust to inform policy at best. If it were based in anything else the policies would be different.

  • I don't know, but do you also think it should be illegal to have a child if you're over 40?

    Do you also think that it should be illegal for people with heritable disabilities to have children?

    Because your argument isn't anti-cousin-marriage, it's anti-birth-defects, and there are a whole lot more sources of them than incest, and ones that are way more common.

    Also, yes, preventing people from having children who would have birth defects dates back to the original eugenics movement, it is literally a core belief of the eugenics movement.

  • When I first heard of the term "nuclear family", I thought it was referring to the fact that 20 century families had to deal with the constant fear of losing their family to a nuclear bomb.

    Jump

  • Honestly I assumed it was the people you'd share your bomb shelter with for a while.

  • I... Don't even actually see the point here? I have access to the internet, and know how to use a search engine? You can literally look that up on Wikipedia, are you trying to imply that because I looked at a Wikipedia article for this post that I want to fuck my cousin?

    What a strange outlook on obtaining knowledge. If just knowing what states it's legal in, something that takes about 30 seconds to find, makes you a cousin-fucker, wouldn't that make you one too? Or is it just the first person in the thread doing it?

  • What, persuasive about not wanting to fuck my cousin? I don't particularly care if anyone thinks I do. If I did, I wouldn't be in a thread about fucking your cousin saying I think it's fine to fuck your cousin. I know that people will make assumptions about my sex life based on my position alone.

    If you mean about the arguments against it being eugenics, I care more about that point, because they are, and eugenics is bad.

  • Fun fact: Most of the places it's legal in are blue. Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina are the only red states it's legal in, out of 17 total states. If we include states where it's conditionally legal (usually based on age/fertility) it's Utah out of 7 states.
