and OP didn’t credit it 👀

Bullshit divisions like this in the political left are why the right keeps winning.

Reuters is still reporting on the epstein files, so what’s wrong?

There are two ways of handling security vulnerabilities.

One is to try and find them before the “bad guys” do, then fix them. The other is to do nothing and just hope the “bad guys” don’t find them (or have already found them and are already exploiting them)

Children experience more extreme emotions in general, not just happiness. Think of the tantrums they throw.

And honestly, no, my main goal isn’t to blindly chase dopamine.

For one, happiness is more complex than that, you cannot just reduce it to one hormone (e.g. what about serotonin or oxytocin?)

Secondly, I think experience and personal development are important, they put happiness into perspective and let you appreciate it better. Leaving your comfort zone can be deeply rewarding, even if it doesn’t immediately result in a dopamine boost.

I can confidently say that I am happier now than I was as a child, despite the fact I now laugh less.

Because piefed is decentralized, open-source and non-profit.

Because on Lemmy we never have comments/posts removed or users blocked because mods disagree with them /s

I think there is probably a difference here between small companies where there is one owner that knows all their employees and corparations with thousands of employees and anonymous shareholders.

I’m annoyed by the notion that our bodies somehow need animal protein to build muscles. What we need is a specific mix of amino acids. Animal proteins generally provide a similar mix, but that just means that eating meat is the easy route. It is definitely possible to mix plant proteins to provide our bodies with everything they need (at least in terms of proteins).

And honestly, I’m just tired of animal suffering, man.

“Die Weihnachtsgans Auguste” by Günter Rätz. I guess one can understand most of it without speaking German.

I am not defending US imperialism, just criticizing a double standard.

Imperialism is a state seeking to maintain and/or extend power over other states. That is exactly what China is doing with Taiwan. Of course, unequal exchange is also a form of imperialism.

Imperialism is when you have a civil war.

That’s just wrong. What is true though is that civil wars more often than not are influenced by foreign powers trying to influence them to their own benefit.

Imperialism is cool as long as the people doing the imperialism call themselves socialists or communists 🙂‍↕️

Considering how often I see nsfw or nsfl stuff because it wasn’t tagged… no I don’t think so, at least there doesn’t seem to be anything widely adopted on Lemmy.

For images at least it should be possible to create a bot that downloads any uploaded image, runs it through an API like Sightengine, and then automatically removes posts or bans users. Each instance would then of course decide whether to set up such a bot, so there is not going to be any fediverse-wide automod.

It’s not like I hate other operating systems, I just really like the idea of FOSS and try to use it whenever possible.

Of all the shit Ubisoft does, not selling on steam is the dealbreaker? Alright.
