  Yeah, it’s even worse than the other countries due to it being able to be reduced. “But Emma’s parents let her on social media, why do I need to wait until I’m 15? I hate you!” blah blah blah.

  If I recall, the founder had some workaround for situations like you describe. I am in the same situation but I didn’t have the effort to care enough to do all that hassle.

  Solution: go to neighbor’s yard and commit arson. Then it will hopefully chirp enough to be found.

  AWS doesn’t go down that often to impact such decisions I wouldn’t think… I think it’s more likely that these companies calculated that AWS isn’t worth the price for their workloads?

  I’ve been at several companies where just a day’s worth of their AWS costs would be able to finance significantly stronger compute/storage, in addition to an administration team for all that. (Of course it’s not that simple, but you get what I mean)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it has changed since the last time I tried on a rental (about a year ago), but it felt too gimmicky to be useful. It constantly wanted me to jerk the wheel, and would randomly turn itself off otherwise. Despite the fact I still had both my hands on the wheel, and the camera sensor should have noticed I was constantly looking at the road.

  And then the few times it stayed active for a longer period, I was even more bored than usual with driving, and I didn’t feel much safer. Especially with country roads, it was constantly doing the speed limit instead of slightly slowing down in the few areas without fences (wildlife running into the road), and it was also happy to drive through a long and deep visible pool of water on the highway at like 110km/hr.

  It’d be different if Tesla had LiDAR, but nah, it’s not for me. I’m glad you like it though.

  Why is it unreasonable to expect an advertised price to be accurate? If someone says your Internet will cost $30 a month, why should you accept paying anything more than that? A fair market helps increase competition, and is a good thing for all consumers.

  idk how ring got passed that law to begin with in 99% of its use cases

  It doesn’t comply… but the responsibility falls on the person who mounts/uses the hardware, so Amazon does whatever they want.

  downloaded an ODT documenting

  Doesn’t really matter what document format it is, I wouldn’t dare using OO anymore. Maybe they still patch critical CVEs, and maybe no one even attempts exploits because it’s basically just in maintenance mode, but you never know…

  Change isn’t fun, but I don’t think that UI-wise Libreoffice is such a big leap?

  I can’t even blame Tesla drivers for not blinking, it’s awfully designed… it’ll stay blinking for too long, then if you try to turn it off by putting it a bit in the opposite direction, now you’re blinking that way instead.

  DSM

  Miss me with that American junk. But with the same logic, would you also say that gender incongruence is a mental disorder? It’s in the same books, in similar sections. It’s faux pas to call something a mental disorder without focusing on why it’d be that.

  The ICD (and I would hope the DSM) focuses mostly on the distress the patient gets from their condition. Someone’s attraction to kids, without any actions, isn’t enough to get diagnosed, as it’s simply a paraphilia. If they’re distressed by it, or act out, then it’s a diagnostic criteria and something they’d be able to get treatment for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm doing my part⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, pedophilia is a paraphilia. And if someone suffers from pedophilic disorder, it’s kinda impossible for anyone other than healthcare to know that – unless they’ve made some attempts to abuse someone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even opposite-sex incest became legal in Sweden a couple years back. The law previously said “forbidden to have sexual intercourse with a sibling”, but they changed it to “forbidden to have vaginal intercourse with a sibling”. No idea if it was the (right-wing) government’s intention to legalize gay-brother-sex at the same time, but here we are.
