Farmers’ protests against the European Green Deal has to be one of the most mind-boggling movements I’ve witnessed. It’s exactly as you say: by 2050 farmers will be asking for even bigger handouts because their crops failed, while also crying about how EU didn’t stop global warming. Literal children protesting because EU put greens on their plate.

nit-picking of everything that still lets them say “see, I’m still so smart about this stuff"

Ah, the famous Jordan Peterson gambit:

1. Present a problem in great detail.
2. Explain how this problem is just how things must be, and obviously the only way forward is to roll over and maintain status quo.
3. If anyone proposes a solution they’re a silly liberal who doesn’t understand the complexity of the problem.

This is my headcanon now 😭

And Jesus has the audacity to say

Woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.

Guess what, someone had to betray you for the story to go forward

The only story that pops up is a pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi. No fatalities, 46 people hospitalized. Maybe OP is misremembering?

DLSS and XeSS (XMX) are AI and they’re noticably better than non-hardware accelerated alternatives.

Actually, it can be there, but then you won’t know how fast it’s moving.

Whether a 7-year-old sees adult content accidentally, intentionally, because of peer pressure or any other reason, I still think age appropriate sex ed would be helpful. I acknowledge that minors do view inappropriate content and that it is generally unhealthy, but since it can happen, and does happen, a good approach would be to educate them preemptively.

For example, these guildelines for sex ed in EU, which caused some outrage in conservative circles a few years back, suggest that “sex in media and dealing with it” is a topic for 6 to 9-year-olds.

Of course you can’t cover every outlier, but can you really stop 5th graders from sending weird shit to their friends because they’re trying to be edgy?

Edit:

Another way to think about it:

• Was the content accessed accidentally? If so, I would argue this law misses the point and better moderation would be more effective and also less, y’know, surveillance state adjacent
• Was the content accessed intentionally? In this case, sex ed would probably help

“When we evaluate how minors interact with the internet, for 90% of them it is their first way of getting to know about sexuality. From there, 50% of them recognise that they generate imitation and even with approaches that have domination as a central element. There is an enormous distortion in the way they are going to develop their sexuality”, she stressed. [via DeepL, emphasis mine]

Hmmmmm, if only there was a way to educate minors about sexuality before they ultimately turn to internet because adults just ignore the problem.

Edit:

Incibe is also collaborating, which is checking that browsers “control access based on URLs” to prevent access to minors. Cabanillas said that “a black list” of browsers that do not do so will be created.

It’s a miracle politicians aren’t targeted by scammers more frequently, given they have no idea how internet works.

I imagine any reasonable traffic law would forbid drivers from impeding traffic like that. You might be able to do it somewhat discreetly, but it’s still a matter of enforcement, and you can bet blue nonces will suddenly start caring about enforcing traffic laws.

Edit: UK Road Traffic Act

If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.

At first this caption made me think that Kenyan giraffes are especially gay, as if Kenya was some kind of Washington D.C. of giraffe world. In other news, I am now aware of grey whale orgies.

Jellyfin and sin

It really feels like SCOTUS noticed that environmentally-conscious people are advocating for expansion of rail, and will now rule in favour of this project just to spite them.

approval for a railroad project

Let’s see…

that would carry crude oil

😭 what the heck

Why don’t you just sell your house and move?

Fidesz is nonaligned as well, judging by the polls it’ll be about 9 or 10 seats for them.

Use your own muscles like a manly macho man, only wimpy soyboys let the machine do all the work 😎💪🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

Until now I was under the impression that this was the goal of these notices:

If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

Because if an LLM ingests a comment with a copyright notice like that, there’s a chance it will start appending copyright notices to it’s own responses, which could technically, legally, maybe make the AI model CC BY-NC-SA 4.0? A way to “poison” the dataset, so that OpenAI is obliged to distribute it’s model under that license. Obviously there’s no chance of that working, but it draws attention to AI companies breaking copyright law.

(also, I have no clue about copyrights)

Drive fast and break things!
