  But you don’t in Australia? The digital verification schemes are bad too but they can theoretically be done in a privacy respecting way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was mostly teasing. I do believe, as you seem to, that rights are eroded from the edges and that is one reason it is important to protect activities we disagree with. 'Protect the kids" is often used to deny rights to adults but kids are legitimately protected by the laws of society from a lot of predatory things. The social media ban doesn’t stop adults from doing anything or make them do anything so it doesn’t fit the case for sneaky control like cisa or gun control in the US or chat control in the EU. I don’t think advertisers should be able to advertise directly to children. Teams of human psychology and behavior experts crafting the most addictive product available and being able to constantly live A/B test their newest ideas is bad for kids. It’s bad for adults too but to each their own.

  It’s like when the government took slot machines from kids, then cigarettes, then alcohol… A never ending erosion of rights that serves no legitimate purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe he’s just preparing. The first time I lived with a woman I was surprised at how much faster toilet paper went

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at? How is a library having instruments for people to play different from libraries having books to read?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They'll tell you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “If you need toes, I can get you toes.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They'll tell you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a max toe number or just a minimum?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drug dealers hate this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Opposite of the exhaust if the car is anthropomorphized but I think logically the fuel filler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drug dealers hate this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To save others the search, Detol is a British brand of cleaners. Mostly quaternary ammonia but they have a good amount of products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The honest answer you want to give⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The text in this image is only one step above cutting out letters from magazines to spell words

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why you should respect our vets⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  OP in the image’s user name is that of the first woman to hold federal office in the US. I’ve been to a museum about her

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s neat. I never gave ansible playbooks any thought because I thought it would just add a layer of abstraction and that containers couldn’t be easier but reading your post I think I have been wrong.

  Always and eternal is the carsinisation cycle. One glorious day we too will realize the optimal form and shuffle sideways into Nirvana. Together, as a species, we will snip the ties of suffering that bind us to this samsara.

  Is it $30/month on top of Xbox gold or does the game pass include it?

  Why did you draw the little fish with an erection?

  Cast iron oxidizes into rust so I don’t imagine you’ll see a nice patina like on copper cookware.

  When we’re in the Mt West my young kids like the dinosaur gas stations. They may have come as far south as North Texas recently but I never see them very far east

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Something as easy as stremio but for music. Connect to listenbrainz instead of trakt. Then only serve from the spotify collection because of their extensive metadata. With multi device sign in and syncing like stremio. Then a Kodi add on for the libreelec people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone has a LOT of dusty computers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People doing duster are not usually the same people doing nitrous. In my years of working in a hospital, duster addicts were the worst of the drug addicts mentally and physically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic Finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  like the LLM that was finding cancers and people were initially impressed but then they figured out the LLM had just correlated a DR’s name on the scan to a high likelihood of cancer. Once the complicating data point was removed, the LLM no longer performed impressively. Point #2 is very Goodhart’s law adjacent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've probably met someone who has killed a person⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most veterans and military have not killed anyone.

  You think this person has their name monogrammed on their pillow cases? Maybe their address in case the pillow gets lost?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Jamaican accent just makes me smile⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As I write this, your comment is the lowest rated in the thread and the highest rated comment is someone making the same point but quoting a comedian.

  I’ve used this the last 8 days and have really liked it. Takes away some of the friction to journaling.
