The US government and everyone that stands behind it, they want to make those who fight against ICE look like dangerous creatures that roam the Earth and must be stopped. They want to look like they're in total control, by making these fighters look desperate for their lives when they are arrested, by celebrating whenever one of them is killed. But most importantly, they want us to fight each other, so that we forget who is our true opponent on what is basically a war on our rights as human beings.
The part where it's suggested to give your full address when calling law-makers could backfire, no? Do you really need to do that to get the call tallied?
You didn't sound mean, I was just a bit sad that my conspiracy theory turned out to be wrong. I'm sorry for for the barrage of conspiracy theories you keep getting, and I'm especially sorry for how disrespectful some of them are (I mean, who the hell would think that your name is Jessica????).
If you live in the UK or in another country where porn is being restricted:
Talk with friends and family about getting a VPN (EDIT: Some recommendations I've heard are Air VPN, Private Internet Access, and, despite not having port forwarding, which is essentially one less major feature, Mullvad VPN. A thank-you to @jmf@lemmy.dbzer0.com for suggesting the former two.)
Learn to use the Tor network (it's really easy to start, and unlike popular belief, Tor isn't only for illegal activities)
Pressure MPs that didn't vote in favor of the age verification bill by sending emails to them about it so that they fight (or keep fighting) this age verification nonsense.
You don't need to be a porn addict to do these things. In fact, they have started with porn, but they may as well keep going and fight for age verification in other types of content, making access to said content way more difficult. The best thing you can do right now is to learn to fight back.
Every time AI is used for something like this, it baffles me. There are so many free-to-use icons on the Internet, yet you're gonna ask the Internet Blender™ for a new one? Why? Is it to get something worse on purpose?
Hi there. I'm sorry if you've been asked this multiple times around here and are tired of the same question over and over. But I wanna ask you whether you're @TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 's secret twin sister. Thanks in advance. :)
That's cool! I wish Microsoft were fined though. Any money we can take off of them for not following the law, no matter how small it may be in the big picture, is a win in my eyes.
The device demonstrated a specific cooling power of up to 1.43W g-1 under zero-temperature-lift conditions. In addition, the system’s coefficient of performance can reach 3.4 under ideal work-recovery assumption, highlighting its potential energy efficiency.
It's unfortunate that your experience with C wasn't a good one. imo it's a cool language, even if it may be overshadowed by languages that are more intuitive to use.
Emacs and (Neo)Vim are a bit too overwhelming for me. I've tried Neovim for a relatively long time, but I felt kind of overloaded with the vast amount of features and plugins it has. I've tried Emacs a bit, but its complexity always scared me (not to mention it uses its own version of Lisp, a language that is notorious for its ability of creating new language features on the fly, hence even more complexity). I've been using Helix, and I couldn't be happier. I've realized that I don't really care much about editor customization, and that what I was looking for was just a cool modal editor with some useful features (such as file picker, LSP, tree-sitter, multiple cursors, ...). The keybinds are also easier to grasp, as fewer of them feel arbitrary compared to Vim. In Vim and Emacs, it feels like you can do everything, while in Helix, it feels more like you can do everything the developers think that might be useful for you. Who knows, maybe I'll try again Emacs and (Neo)Vim again in the far future, but I don't feel like it for now.
Wait, WHAT? They already voted? I didn't expect that so soon...
