Yeah federated platforms like lemmy are a potential solution. I would guess they aren’t more popular because nobody directly profits from the success of these platforms, and since no one entity has control of it people in positions of power may be wary of adopting it.

Also a distributed platform is pretty much always going to be more complicated. This scares off the casual users that make up the majority of social media usernames.

Look at Linux; you can be more open, better on paper, cheaper, and even easier to use in some cases, but the success of online platforms is not a meritocracy. It’s a pageant.

And the joke is that Lemmy users are much further left than that.

Recently I’ve been listening to Well There’s You’re Problem; it’s 30% retrospective on engineering disasters 70% shitpost

Yuzu is an emulator. You don’t need a physical console to use it, unless you insist on dumping your own firmware/roms/keys.

Modding actual switch hardware is certainly more involved. Those rcm jigs are annoying, and later revisions require a modchip which is not an easy install.

If the sex worker is consenting without duress and is being treated well (I recognize that’s a big ‘if’) then I’m fine with it. I have no inherent objections to sex work itself so it would feel like a double standard to judge the people who use it.

Unfortunately the moral waters are muddied by the rampant trafficking, drug abuse, etc. within the industry.

Unless I’m missing something this seems trivial to test. Just test blood sugar before and after drinking a diet soda. If bloods sugar goes down then the sweetener likely caused a release of insulin. If it doesn’t change then it didn’t.

It seems petty far-fetched. If artificial sweeteners caused a runaway insulin spike then I would expect them to cause a lot of cases of diabetic shock.

Yeah, I dropped Spotify when they started plastering my home screen with ads for podcasts that I didn’t want to listen to. If there had even just been a way to hide them after the fact, but no. I guess they really needed to justify the deal with Joe Rogan.

Sounds like the injured officers are suing. It’s a civil case not criminal, so I’m not sure how much the court would actually be asked to legislate. I’d be interested to hear their arguments, though I’m sure part of their reasoning for suing Tesla over the driver is they have more money.

If you’re swerving to avoid a sudden obstacle you reasonably may not have the foresight or reaction to flip on a signal. The car still needs to not force you back on collision course.

The headline doesn’t state that the warnings were consecutive.

Perhaps the driver was just aware enough to keep squelching warnings and prevent the car from stopping altogether?

I’ll grant you, though, 150 warnings is still a little tough tough to believe…

Not op, but in my mind this would depend on whether you have any reasonable means of de-escalation, e.g. running away

If not then it’s not really ethical or unethical… it just kinda can’t be judged

If we’re splitting hairs, bi should be a sunset of pan.

Also, there is some need for a fourth “none of the above” label…

The os updates thing may hold more water for iOS… It’s a bit suspect when comparing to Windows and just plain wrong if you compare to any major Linux distro.

Arch Linux

So that I can brag about using Arch Linux.

Seriously though, I wanted to learn about Linux and chose trial-by-fire. I’ve used other (Debian based) distros but pacman + the Arch user repository are hard to live without now.

Though if I ever had to reinstall I’d probably save myself some headache and install EndeavorOS.

The government doesn’t go out of it’s way to give you one, but they usually aren’t difficult to get. Driver’s licenses and passports are commonly used as ID. Many states will also issue a state ID card, though the process for getting one varries by state.

Driving, or at least being able to drive, is so ubiquitous that nearly everyone over 16 has some kind of driver’s license. That’s especially true of rural areas like Arkansas.

For these kinds of things “official document” typically means a driver’s license, passport, state ID, military ID, etc. Anything issued by a state or federal government that has your name, date of birth, and photo.

A Google shows that they actually approved something similar back and April and got sued for it, but I haven’t been able to figure out how that lawsuit went/is going.

This seems a preposterously terrible decision…

Women in the US are doing that too.

I guess it works, to a point. If your man throws a Shapiro-esque fit over this movie he probably isn’t great to be around the rest of the time.

I bought sync pro and have sync for lemmy installed; there’s no way to activate pro right now, and afaik that option is not coming.

Presently you can buy a permanent ad removal in-app for $20, you can subscribe to sync ultra for $17/yr, or you can use it free with ads.

It’s a good app, and the dev absolutely deserves to make money. If I understand correctly, developing sync is his full-time job. The prices are definitely steeper than with sync for reddit, but Lemmy is a much smaller community. He can’t necessarily expect as many sales.
