Alt. Profile @Th4tGuyII
To be fair, there’s a point to be made that someone who’s overly trigger-happy on dislike should be shamed for it. Just like you would be if you kept being snide to everyone in real life.
I agree that transparency would do much more good than harm, plus compared to the info that people already put in their profiles/comments, it’s not likely to make them anymore identifiable.
Votes should absolutely be public. They were on KBin, and it made people more civil for it because you could be shamed if you were dislike trolling or liking all of your own posts/comments to make them look better (which is something you actively have to do on here, unlike Reddit).
Given this place is pseudo-anonymous anyways, and people comment far more personal and identifiable info here anyways (which tbf you should be careful about), I think public votes would do much more good than harm.
What’s the point in making something illegal to patent if you can just side-step it by a technicality and enforce a patent anyway?
If the point was to protect food security, then make it illegal to patent regardless of how the breed was created - sorry if you spent more breeding them artificially, food security for the people should be more important than money.
Too many people end up in debt spirals with these BNPL companies because there’s no consistent safeguards against it, so we absolutely should be regulating them better. We shouldn’t be leaving financially vulnerable people to the wolves.
It’s a tale as old as time for the right-wing… in the words of Bono, “Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you”.
The right-wing doesn’t know empathy past their nose, so as long as it’s innocent Palestinians being killed in droves and not their own, they won’t care two shits.
It’s a race to the bed, as everybody knows monsters can’t invade your bed, that’s why so many of them live under it
Particularly for physical injuries, I sometimes prefer to suffer as it reminds me that I need to be careful, which I know I’d forget if I subdued the pain.
Having said that, for things like flu’s where it’s just pure suffering for nothing, I’ll suck down as many painkillers as I can have in a day.
The one sponge to rule them all
At the time I got my current system, I did 1tb SSD for the main, and a 4tb HDD for data drive.
For my next system, I think I’ll split that a bit more evenly, as most of my games end up on the HDD which means they a bit to load
Alright, fine. You can have 20 miles or so, but nothing more. Oh and all the islands around it are still our’s.
That was my first thought too. It was only when the pseudoscience started that I realised I was meant to side with Starbucks girl here, and not the soldier helping out sewer man
There are so many questions. How did the soldier know there was a sewer man? How did the soldier know the sewer man wanted coffee? How did he know that coffee was cold enough for the sewer man to drink?
While I wouldn’t wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you’d essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man’s practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.
I agree on them being safe - when rules are properly adhered to, they’re extremely safe, similarly to air travel. People only suspect their safety because when they do fail, they tend to fail spectacularly, again similar to air travel.
Having said that, they may be efficient to operate, but they are by no means efficient to build. They cost a lot of resources, and have a 10 year lead time - plus you need to worry about the cost of waste storage and decommissioning.
So sure, nuclear is better than fossil fuels, but you’re just kicking the nonrenewable can down the road.
That time and resources would be far better spent on renewables, because that where humanity is gonna have to go long-term no matter how well any other alternatives work.
The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??
Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.
Considering the German government will do basically anything to get away from even the slightest hint of antisemitism, I can see exactly why they’re doing this.
But it’s comical for Germany to be bending over backwards to avoid repeating it’s genocidal past whilst turning a complete blind eye to an actual ongoing genocide.
Pretty sure later updates for Windows 10 started doing this too, or at least it did on my PC.
Had to completely uninstall OneDrive to get it to stop - which Microsoft sure do make quite difficult to do.
Imagine not knowing it’s short for Bobsworth
I’m in no position to tell you to stay or go, after all it’s your life to lead, nobody else’s…
Having said that, I can’t help but notice from taking a rather cursory glance at your post history that most of your posts are pretty well up-voted.
The only posts where you seem to be heavily down-voted are political posts, which by their very nature will invite disagreement - this is especially true when the posts you’re making touch upon rather controversial/inflammatory topics.
And if that’s what you’re complaining about being down-voted for, then you’ve really only yourself to blame for inviting that disagreement into your life.
Yeah. If you’re on a public forum accessible to anyone, which the whole fediverse is, then you should never assume privacy.
Honestly transparency in this regard would be better - they’re already visible to much of the community, so they might as well be visible to everyone.
