Pleasure doing business, good sir

There’s a big distinction between being republican and capital-R Republican, and between being pro-democracy and a capital-D Democrat

You had me for a moment there

Twice. I did it twice.

Why not just use type c headphones?

The 3.5mm thing has always baffled me, it feels like complaining your pc doesn’t have a VGA port, except the thing you connect costs like a fiver

As people have said, it’s actually perfectly legal in the US, horrifyingly.

But the UK has very strict data protection laws which we inherited from when we were in the EU, and medical data is explicitly considered sensitive. If they actually did sell medical information, they’re in deep shit, legally.

I’m hoping that the sheer cost of executing that sort of war will continue to be a prohibiting factor like it is today

Upvoted exclusively for that 10/10 pun

I broadly agree, but that’s not what this is, right?

This is a demonstration of using AI to execute combat against an explicitly selected target.

So it still needs the human to pull the trigger, just the trigger does some sick plane stunts rather than just firing a bullet in a straight line.

You’ll love crack houses!

The panopticon is… a chatbot that suggests you get help if you search for CSAM? Those bastards! /s

Oh no, not them removing a vague vibe in place of an explicit policy on transphobia.

What an absurd reason to defederate a server

“no, I won’t provide a source for my claim, because my source is not good/non-existent”

FTFY

provide the reason you don’t like those studies

They didn’t say they don’t “like” the studies though, in fact they actively said they were interested in seeing them. What’s the point of asking someone to explain why they don’t like something that they haven’t even seen yet. Sure they could go find some random related studies and then critique those but that seems pretty pointless.

Edit: since I’m whining about lack of sources, I should probably give some myself

Here’s a paper investigating the correlation (or more specifically, lack of correlation) between social media usage and mental health outcomes for young adults:

Yet another EU w

They’re really just regulating big tech on behalf of the rest of the planet right now

Dismissing sexism within a particular group because it is disproportionately prevalent in that group is, frankly, treating that sexism as acceptable.

You can just as easily extend this approach until you either reach a group where it’s evened out, or is the entirety of humanity.

“It’s more prevalent in stem? No, you have to look at university students overall”

“It’s prevalent in university students overall? No, you have to look at all students”

“It’s prevalent in students as a whole? No, you have to look at everyone involved in education”

“It’s prevalent in education in general? No, you have to look at public services as a whole”

“It’s prevalent in public services as a whole? No, you have to look at all non-private entities”

“It’s prevalent across non-private entities? No, you have to look at all forms of work”

You can just move on, no need to let us know thanks

That’s nice for you

I hate when I accidentally build a nuke, absolute nightmare to dispose of

What possible legitimate reason is there for needing a napalm recipe?
