Or tiny birds that can expertly navigate wind currents with an almond sized brain using real-time force feedback. The computational power at their disposal is very well optimized for what they do.

Well said. It’s impossible to be a free speech absolutist without condoning some pretty heinous forms of human expression. But you’re right that the proper ethical yardstick is whether any meaningful human expression causes demonstrable harm.
Non-sexual nudity is definitely not harmful.

Perversion requires some level of sexual oppression in order to exist. Won’t somebody please think of the perverts?!

Participation in any community demands some level of censorship or else there would literally be CP on youtube. The problem is that the decision making behind the administration of censorship should be better democratized instead of being decided by advertiser’s attempting to divine the median consumer’s level of tolerance.

I am still using a pixel 3xl and probably will until the battery dies.

You can always bring a second controller for redundancy. I would bet money the game controller had zero impact on the failure and I hate all the shade being thrown on this innocent controller.
- Comment on Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion 3 months ago:
It’s not managing life critical functions, that’s a computer. The game controller plugs into the computer. The great thing about that is that you can bring a second (or even a third) for redundancy.
It’s just that the engineering choices that caused the failure are difficult to understand or communicate in sentence so the game controller is something any idiot can harp on about and sound smart.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
Marrying the first person you ever fuck and breeding uncontrollably only to become deeply miserable and unfulfilled in your locked down life is very human and not at all a good idea. Every success story of first love is a random aberration that fuels the myth that this should be the status quo.
Most people are a lot sluttier than that

- Comment on Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google 3 months ago:
I’ve started a Kagi subscription for my new search engine. Basically $6 USD per month but because it’s a user-pay model they have a really good privacy policy and don’t sell/analyze your data.
It’s currently better than Google (which I still use search in the maps for reviews)

I have a monochrome brother laser/fax that is old af. I don’t mess with color because like you said if I want photos printed I’m going to get the big-boy printer at the store to do it.

When I first got to Reddit a front page post was like 1000 upvotes so Lemmy is approximately sorta the same level of users as when I first got to Reddit

I hope the fediverse attracts enough adoption to make it long term viable. I am making an effort to be here more than there for lemmy/Reddit but YouTube is still harder to quit

- Comment on VPN by Google One shuts down 4 months ago:
Protonmail is fine for searching old emails and they have their own calendar integration. I self host calDAV for my own calendar so I cannot comment on protonmail’s other cloud services but I’m happy enough with their email service that I subscribe yearly for it.
That’s the downside of not getting data mined, you need to pay for these services. Setting up a private cloud is not impossible for a derp like me but a private email server is definitely well beyond my skillset so that’s something I pay for.

- Comment on VPN by Google One shuts down 4 months ago:
I’ve had like three primary email accounts since the dawn of the popular internet in the 90’s
The first was Hotmail because that was a big deal at the time.
The second was google because the interface was slick and it came with (what was at the time) a lot of free storage.
The third is protonmail specifically because after decade+ on Google I realized they pretty much have the keys to the kingdom on my life’s data. All my personal relationships and business being filtered through their inbox for a long-ass time. Just because they “know me” inside out for a significant part of my life doesn’t mean I gotta just keep feeding them data indefinitely.
