It might not be so bad if it was just entering the age of the device’s user when setting it up, since in that case the system would be essentially just a standard for parental controls.

Assembly Bill No. 1043 was approved by California governor Gavin Newsom in October of last year, and becomes active on January 1, 2027 (via The Lunduke Journal).

Sounds like it already passed

Something about the way that garage is organized is so nice

Maybe it’s just me but most times I try to compile a software project from source, it’s gonna take a long time figuring out stuff not mentioned in the readme and I will probably give up in the end.

Wait, are they called tie fighters because they look sort of like bow ties

My theory is that it is much psychologically easier to publish something you put little effort into and is mostly not your own work. Ego related fears are a strong motivator. Or maybe it’s just a question of volume, idk.

I also noticed that, maybe it would help to add some kind of loading progress indicator?

The main complaints about Matrix I’ve heard though are about behind the scenes stuff rather than features, which the video touches on:

But there are some reasons why I think XMPP is superior. In Matrix, when you join a room, your server downloads and stores the entire history of that room. If someone on a federated server posts illegal content in a room you’re in, your server is now hosting it, and you are liable. Whereas in XMPP, messages are relayed in real time. Group chat, MU history stays on your server hosting that room. So your server only stores messages for your users which means that no content caching there is no content caching from other servers. This is a fundamental architectural difference which makes the XMPP protocol better in my opinion.

Personally I don’t know that much about it but I briefly looked into what it would take to write a client for Matrix a few years ago and it seemed pretty daunting to work with. Maybe it would be possible to write software that implements more Discord features on top of XMPP to have something that works more smoothly.

The “best engineer in the world” said that it “is fully conscious according to any test I can think of”, which of course means that it is conscious for all possible tests, and so it is unnecessary to look at any particular test or definition of consciousness

I thought it was interesting that not only is there way more than one Mortal Kombat movie, it’s not even the most recent one since the movie that it is a sequel to: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls538995284/

Looks like an ermine

Didn’t they already implement this for UK users and maybe Australia? If they already have the software ready to go there probably isn’t much barrier to it happening

The term ‘vibe coding’ I think was originally about generating and using code without understanding it

investigation into the violent rape of a woman in 2016 on a remote cul-de-sac

…

That led them to the home of a state prison guard named John Edward Kurtz.

Don’t tell any prison guards about DuckDuckGo I guess

Whether the porn has good or bad politics won’t actually change whether or not they believe we need to be kept away from children

I don’t know how much it would actually effect it either way but it definitely determines whether whatever narrative and characterization is present implies it. If it’s furry porn it is way less likely to have the typical hentai theme of woman + penis = uncontrollable sexual aggression for instance.

That’s all fair, and I can see how right wing porn memes contribute to that kind of problem. Trans women need more non-pornographic representation and not be automatically treated as fetish objects. Still, I think it’s relevant that this is about something someone was saying about furry porn, which as a whole has pro-LGBT politics.

Why are you assuming the depiction would be dehumanizing? Just how constrained do you want porn artists and their viewers to be? Bigoted and hateful porn exists, but so does porn with a progressive message, and the distinction is not which groups of people have been depicted.

If you want to focus on the word and move the euphemism treadmill along because it’s become associated with offensive stereotypes, that’s understandable, but you’re probably not getting any closer by calling people r*dditors just for saying it. As porn tags go I think ‘futanari’ is overall on its way out, for instance you won’t find it on the tag lists of e621 posts because the word is aliased to other tags and not used directly.

This whole thread is weird to me because being approached in public by people wanting to talk almost never happens. Not that I’m complaining exactly, it’s confusing and concerning when it does, but it’s hard to imagine it as such a normal thing that it has become a commonplace annoyance.

I think maybe there’s more layers to it though, to me what stands out first about this is the perversity and wrongness of a bloodstain from a presumable homicide being framed and regarded as art at all.

I noticed this kind of thing happening in a particular subreddit; there was a rule requiring all identifying info to be censored with the purpose of the sub not getting banned for brigading, but people disliked this and always tried to pass off censorship attempts that were as poor as they thought they could get away with.
