Never met a vegetarian?

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.

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

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.

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…

I heard once that Nintendo has enough cash in the bank to operate for the better part of a century without turning a profit. No clue if it’s true, but if it is there may not be much valve (or anyone else) could do to make them nervous. Nintendo seems petty and stubborn enough to operate at a loss for a long time if it means they can keep running things as they like.

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.

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’d be willing to bet that this particular pizza is very small, so most people would cut it into 1/4ths.

Yeah, but you don’t get cloud saves or achievements

Can’t complain too much though. Dolphin is so good were spoiled.

Please don’t integrate with steam dick

It doesn’t. Encryption keys are not code and are not copyrightable. Distributing them is also not illegal. The word “proprietary” here is meaningless at best and dishonest at worst.

Of course actually using that key to circumvent drm may be illegal, but I’m no lawyer. Send like that would be on Dolphin’s users anyway.

Food for thought: if Nintendo genuinely thought they had a good legal argument against Dolphin, why wouldn’t they just send them a cease and desist directly instead of just getting them kicked off Steam?

Ehh, kinda. Like, it’s been fairly obvious that eating plants is generally more efficient than eating something else that eats the plants. It’s deceptively difficult to study scientifically, though. There can be massive differences depending on what exact plant-based foods and livestock you compare. If I’m understanding correctly (I’m no expert) this is one of the first academic studies that demonstrates this and has produced real numbers instead of rough estimates.

Good to see some solidarity. I wish it happened more. I’d have thought that the spread internet, allowing easy and covert communication, would have caused a proliferation in the number and efficacy of labor unions, but alas.
