I’m reading a lot, so I have no idea what’s true. Everything reads like a conspiracy theory these days.

Like the sheriff who brought in the suspect abruptly resigning coincidentally when the ballistic report was going to be released.

Or apparently the only other case where this happened, that a bullet of that calibre could not be traced back to the gun, was apparently the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

It all starts sounding very believable, but I guess you can do that with any case if you want.

Control what content you see and add some extra detail to fingerprint you.

If they can get this simple age verification done from everyone, it’s not going to be hard to add “new requirements” in the future

CA should be dragged through the mud.

All these laws are creating footing to ease in more draconian laws in the future. Disgusting stuff

Didn’t read I guess? This goes beyond the Californian bill. The NY bill specifically does not allow this.

It’s “foot between the door”.

Once this has been established as “normal”, they’ll slowly pile on more and more restrictions.

Better to call out this bullshit know instead of mindlessly agreeing.

Sounds like they make these laws specifically to arrest you.

“Woops, your dishwasher has no age verification, now we can arrest you and make you confess whatever we want”

Maybe actually learn to read what this applies too, the website is very clear on this.

Their own parts are open source, the rest are readily available components.

Not sure why you’re spouting complete bullshit and where your basing those statements on.

It pretty clearly states you’ll be able to 3D print parts yourself. It’s also using a Raspberry Pi inside, which I’m fairly sure you can buy wherever you want, so saying you can only get parts from them is complete bullshit.

Are you a shill for printer companies or something?

My community just setup a Matrix instance and we’re migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.

I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.

It’s pretty nuts, there’s a big exodus going on.

No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.

And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.

Like I said, if they’re accustomed to bad infrastructure, why would they expect it elsewhere?

Besides that, tourists often travel in group. Even the best infrastructure can’t accommodate a large bus of tourists are once. I’ve been to Japan, the more touristy places actually have signs specifically addressing the Chinese on what not to do, so it does point at it being a larger problem there.

I imagine China doesn’t have the infrastructure Japan has and they’re simply doing what they’re accustomed to doing when travelling their own country.

I doubt it.

Americans and Brits tourists here in Europe do indeed have a certain reputation, but Chinese tourists have such a bad reputation that Brits and Americans are welcomed with open arms.

The biggest problem are the groups though. Any group is going to behave badly, nationality doesn’t matter. And that in combination with how different Chinese culture is in some aspects just has given them a bad reputation worldwide.

I still have both my Zune and Zune HD. Such great devices

Not sure what this has to do with privacy.

Extra features require a subscription, big fucking surprise.

You can self-host, but that could be an actual privacy nightmare.

It’s a bit two sided I believe. The energy demand is increasing, so there’s indeed more coal being burnt.

But at the same time, the share of clean energy sources compared to coal is also getting bigger and bigger.

So it’s not all bad. Mostly seems the demand for energy is growing too fast to decently transition, let’s hope they can catch up and get rid of coal as soon as possible.

SpaceX. No joke, Elon is just selling Cyber trucks to his other companies to pump up the sales numbers.

Even if there’s dispute about nationality, it’s fucking scary that they just make people disappear. Apparently nobody can tell where she is, it’s absolutely horrendous what the family and this women herself must be going through.

Rivers don’t flow up the mountain, let’s not kid ourselves that there is “innocent” AI usage in this context.

It’s a gray zone in my opinion.

The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art. Where do you draw the line between a unique piece of art and copying existing art?
