That’s just ridiculous, you can also just play poker without any money for fun

The problem is not cursing itself “just saying shit”, but rather insulting the cops. And honestly. I’m rather surprised this is apparently legal in other states?! I wouldn’t have expected that lol

The Supreme Court is upholding the rule of law. If Musk refuses to take action on the massive propaganda and disinformation campaigns that are rampant on his platform and lead to a fascist (like a literal fascist who praised the military dictatorship and openly said it’s only mistake was not to torture enough) getting elected, banning it shows that the democracy is still defensive and able to protect itself.

We can’t let tech monopolies just ignore any democratic rule and do whatever they want.

The actual answer is pretty simple: Donating the body to “science”. Last Week Tonight recently made an entire episode about this: donating your organs and body and where it can end up (and especially in the case of donating the body, it can end up in all kinds of places).

So it’s ethically as in the people donated it and were aware of giving it away, but at least most of them certainly didn’t know that this is what their skulls could end up being used for.

I was just quoting the post / admin and responding to that. I think your comment is not directed to me.

The comments were removed for violating our instance rule against animal abuse

I really don’t get this point. With the same logic, you can remove any person giving meat to their cat, or more generally, eating meat themselves. No matter how much most people try to ignore it and not think about it, the absolute overwhelming majority of meat is produced in absolutely cruel and gruesome circumstances, which every pet owner would consider torture.

(Edit: And for the record, I’m not even vegan myself (and also don’t own a cat), just calling out the hypocrisy.)

They already got forced in the EU

Hey, sorry for the late answer, but I think you might be interested in this:
First of all, as a disclaimer: I’m not a professional front-end developer. I’m usually doing backend stuff and this is the first time I wanted to program a cross-platform desktop app. I spent a lot of time researching and settled on GTK / Libadwaita.
And I actually spent the last months building and packaging the project for every platform. With every platform I mean macOS, Linux and Windows. I strongly recommend doing this with a CI pipeline as there are many specific steps you need to follow.
I will provide a template on Github when I’m finished as well as a more in-depth blog post about all the steps and explanations. The main problem is that most is not documented at all and what’s documented is super outdated. So I had to figure out many things by myself. But the actual process, when you know how to do it, isn’t even really hard. I’ll post the links to the template here when I finished it all but it might still take some months as I currently also have other stuff to do.

Neither are you on TikTok, unless you actively go looking for it

That’s just genuine nonsense. The whole point of platforms like TikTok are the modern recommender systems that (simplified) lead to algorithmic radicalisation. Because these systems heavily optimise towards user engagement, they naturally spread misinformation and controversial content.
And because this kind of content statistically gets more user engagement as people commend on it and spend more time with it, it spreads quicker. This has also e.g. been confirmed by a leaked internal Facebook memo.

And additionally, these systems are personalised, so when you start to interact with it, you get more and more similar content. This leads to a radicalisation pipeline in which the platforms normalises these positions in echo chambers to you.

I don’t get your point. I’m against tech monopolies and I hate Google. I want Facebook to be split up and think that the current tech companies are way to powerful, see this video by Last Week Tonight. I use duckduckgo and try to avoid google services.

Don’t pretend to be doing any of this for any kind of moral high ground when you can’t even be bothered to look into something before arguing for it.

Lmao. How would you get the thought I wouldn’t have “looked into this”. That sounds like antivax level of arguments.

Everything you said is basically wrong.

And this gives me the feeling I’m much better informed than you tbh.
Because no, what I wrote is factually correct, read for example this, this or this or just so many more articles, outlining detailed how TikTok censors content made by minorities, talking about the Uighur camps or so much more.

I feel like you can’t grasp the thought that someone knows how bad many tech companies are and still can see that content behind TikTok is at least as terrible. And what I’m writing isn’t any more boomer-like than what you write, you even use the same talking points but are just ignoring any of TikTok’s flaws.

Am I a Reddit boomer when I’m 21 and like (some) Tiktok-esque kind of content?

I’ve never used TikTok, but not because I don’t get the idea of using audio as meme template or because I don’t like short videos. But just because that specific platform itself is so vile.
Not just talking about funding the Chinese government, TikTok e.g. reduces reach of neurodivergent people. Even worse, it censors information against China‘s authoritarianism and much more.

Why can’t I be happy that this awful platform loses reach? The content itself will be kept, there are enough copycats.

Also, Lemmy is full of people that stopped using Reddit for ethical reasons. So it’s not surprising many are against TikTok as well tbh.

Idk… you being forced to use your body against your will to reveal secret and private things sounds pretty awful to me

I’m not even vegan by myself, but saying other people’s business when it’s not about things people do for themselves without harming anyone but killing animals is… really weird.

Awe poor him :(

I love Libadwaita. It’s so good I started to use it to develop general cross platform apps

👀

I imagine that’s why Germany went with a non-profit cooperative model instead of the US’ (recent) for-profit corporate approach.

We originally tried the usual approach (or at least a combination of both), but because of EU laws, it wasn’t possible to do a law which gives stores permission to sell them, so this was the best thing one could still get.

That’s true, unless you’re really close. I got some people I can just regularly share things I listen with. Even if it’s not absolutely their taste or they don’t like every bit, it’s just still nice.

when you or your employer has to pay your side of legal fees

Where I live, the losing side must pay for all legal fees

Sadly, that’s not even a valid base 64 image string 😔
