Stealing is one thing, pointing guns at employees is not

It would explain why it looks like crap
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 2 weeks ago:
What? It’s like saying systemd is handing the government your info because they have a field for your real name and address.
YOU control what info goes there, if any. It mandates NOTHING.
You may as well be mad at vim because you text editor is capable of storing your birthdate if you go in and type it and save it to /public/myInfo.txt
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 2 weeks ago:
What they’ve done, is in the user info field (which already has a ton of information that almost nobody ever fills out) they added a date of birth field. They do not control what it’s used for, who’s going to use it, or if the user will ever bother filling it out. Perhaps nobody will ever implement to use for it, it’s it’s really nothing.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 2 weeks ago:
Honestly it’s such a minor change, I’m pretty sure they could just grab all the upstream patches in the future and not do anything and it’ll be fine.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 2 weeks ago:
Obviously not, that would be something very very different than what they’ve done.

Generally full life insurance covers even suicide (after a few years, you can’t just buy it and go do that)

Yeah people are weird about it.
- Comment on I'm not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV. 3 weeks ago:
It’s a real thing for some specialized doctors apparently
- Comment on Did we win? 3 weeks ago:
I mean it’s been around the longest and has the most subscribers. Most people only look at that, and I feel like arbitrarily splitting communities is actively harmful to the fediverse. Competing communities confuse and drive away new users.

That means the average adult male could have about ~24fl oz/0.74L of acetone and only die half the time
Just dilute it a bit and you got yourself a new drink

Well they’ve been posting fake videos of him. So either he’s dead or he’s in a bunker/injured and they just want everything to look fine.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
It is when it’s used by corporations for profit, IMO. Not for individual private enjoyment.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah? Well vegatables are both in pig troughs and on dinner plates. Why’s one slop and not the other? They were grown with the same process!
Because one is shitty and the other isn’t.

That all looks pretty bannable shitty behavior to me.

Huh, an actually good brain-computer interfaces.

Oh boy misogyny and making fun of trans people. Ha ha.
- Comment on Why conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr 3 weeks ago:
But are you?
Who’s the butt of the joke here?
“Conservative women are so ugly their husbands cheat on them with guys” - that’s the joke. That’s the whole joke.
- Comment on Why conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr 3 weeks ago:
Yeah this ain’t it
- Comment on They making fun of you yankee 4 weeks ago:
Bombing kids and having them learn a language are identical? Really?

No, yes.
Any further questions?
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
Outer Wilds
Do you want an open-world space puzzler where nothing is stopping you from beating the whole game in 20 minutes except the fact that you don’t have the knowledge needed to do it? No unlocks, progression is all based on learning new info. 20+ hours of exploring a miniature solar system to find an extremely satisfying end where you get everything to align.
Pick it up and don’t look anything up.

I once didn’t eat for 14 days. Honestly it wasn’t that bad.
Disclaimer: I was/am obese and had fat for it. And took some salts/vitamins. But no calories. I don’t recommend it. Such behavior can easily cause/worsen eating disorders. Seek medical advice.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 5 weeks ago:
Yeah all that’s right but you’re overlooking the fact that “just stop” almost never works. People can know this, rationally. But they still fall into addiction. It takes a more complicated approach than “just stop” most of the time.
- Comment on there is a special place in hell for these scientists 5 weeks ago:
I’m no scientist but I’m pretty sure we know enough to say there’s no consciousness at this level. Consciousness as we know it is pretty fragile.
There may be a point if this is scaled up that could be a concern…

Well yeah. I doubt the GrapheneOS team would allow anything less.
