  Office would have a learning curve too if you hadn’t been using it since you were a child.

  Whenever you do something that results in the death of another human there needs to be an investigation. From what I can tell no culpability has been found yet, but there is at least some evidence that this person was being held against their will.

  However, lots of European countries treat violence like the US treats porn so this could easily be something similar to the pearl clutching that would happen here if somebody was asphyxiated during a BDSM livestream.

  I don’t have time to visit the hospital right now so why don’t you check it the separate Wikipedia articles yourself.

  I wasn’t being pedantic, It’s an important distinction. You don’t have to think so though, you don’t have to be rude about other people’s opinions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Child sex abuse victim begs Elon Musk to remove links to her images⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the Internet, the World Wide Web. But yes.

  Then make sure you can actually restore the data.

  Often yes, but not always.

  Anybody can download Windows images too. That doesn’t mean the OS is free.

  Sega had an earlier console in 1983 called the SG-1000.

  I mean… Corel still looks the same too…

  Would you prefer something Microsoft has cooked up recently?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IYKYK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, we have even made bacteria that excretes fuels. But nothing that competes with just pulling hydrocarbons out of the ground at scale like we have with diamonds.

  The main scaling issue is that the constituent carbon still has to come from somewhere, and one of the main carbon sources we have is… oil.

  The best solution is to move away from carbon based fuels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Shop Sells Viral GPS Trackers Marketed to Stalkers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, the models I have seen have a very short battery life, or check in infrequently, or only check in when movement is detected, or use cell signal triangulation to save battery, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Shop Sells Viral GPS Trackers Marketed to Stalkers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen some pretty small GPS trackers with cell modems, I wouldn’t be surprised if these were that instead depending on the price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but luckily by the mid 80s it was completely digitized and just there in the basement for reference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Conscious (sentience / sapience) is an ineffable, unmeasurable, quality. There is no way to say that one sentient being is more or less sentient than another. In fact there is no way to tell that I am not the only consciousness in existence but it feels rude not to give others the benefit of the doubt. We can create neurons and even small brains in the lab but we don’t have any way to instill life into that neuron. Consciousness simply emerges out of the constituent parts of being alive, possibly even as a result of the interactions of such a complex system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Consciousness is 100% an emergent property.

  Wasn’t there a guy who married his 3DS dating game girlfriend a while back? I’m not sure this is exactly a new phenomenon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Schizophrenia is better treated the earlier it is diagnosed. We are not talking about people who “might develop schizophrenia one day” but those who found out they had it as a result of this process perhaps earlier than they would have otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sure sounds like they’re just saying that cannabis helped people detect schizophrenia earlier than they normally would have. Which would strike me as a good thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google tests ‘script blocking’ in Chrome Incognito to boost privacy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are talking about the difference between a website and a web application. Nothing is broken. Given that the alternative used the be Flash/Coldfusion I’m not sure this way is worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOL to discontinue dial-up internet service after 34 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I read like 10 years ago that a small but still double digit percentage of their income still came from dial-up subscribers many of whom didn’t still use the service. It was speculated at the time that many of these people simply didn’t realize they were still paying for it. I’m guessing they all finally died or credit card numbers changed enough that it wasn’t free money for them anymore.

  I am going to have to disagree, the worst episode of DS9 is the one where Worf does terrorist shit on Risa.

  The allergens in honey are from where the honey was made. If you haven’t already you might try locally sourced honey as it will have the allergens that are already in the air where you live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she walked out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not understanding how somebody in a mask who isn’t presenting a badge can brandish a gun and shove somebody on their property without themselves being shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is not a transparent pricing model. You start at $0.025 and “go up” from there but I can’t find how much. After you listen to a song 9 times and have paid $1.40 you “own” it but can still only listen to it on their service?

  This sounds like iTunes with more steps.

  Only cheap machines were still beige by the early 2000s. Dell, for instance, switched to their dark gray clamshell around 2001.
