The UK has multiple political parties and free democratic elections. Just because the current government passed a law you don’t agree with doesn’t mean the country is authoritarian.

It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.

What do those have to do with my video games?? I just wanna grill game!

Ah yes…that’s why I downloaded them too…

NOT BE FUCKING LYING AROUND LOADED AND READY TO BE FIRED

This guy bought the gun to protect his family! What if some gang members busted through his front door and started attacking his family? The gun needs to be loaded with one in the chamber and laying on the kitchen table for maximum family protection!

Also easier when you don’t need to worry you’ll be voted out for spending tax money on a massive infrastructure project.

You’re not alone! I worked 12 hours in 37°C (99°F), 47% humidity yesterday. However, we get essentially unlimited breaks in an air conditioned break room, have cooling vests filled with ice packs we can wear on the floor, and are supplied with sports drinks and feeezies. Your work can’t really make the world less hot, but they can work with you to avoid development of heat related illnesses!

It really sends the message that nobody is going to dominate them (except their scalie mommy).

The porn. Right now the porn subreddits are mostly advertising for subscription sites like OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, etc. Reddit definitely thinks they can stop being used to advertise subscription sites and just become one themselves.

People buy stuff for the image. Apple has cultivated a certain image with its branding that people are attracted to and buy their products because of it. I’ve heard it described as “People don’t buy what you make but what you are.” The image and brand of the company is often why people buy from them. Apple produces products for cool hip people, not the stuffy old guys in suits! You’re a cool person, right?

Something being expensive is often part of the image. People like to pretend they’re rich and the more expensive all their stuff is the more they can project that image. It can also be self validation. Owning expensive products can someone feel better about their lives.

Gracias!

Hey Baby, schöner Arschbackenoberschenkelabtrennfalte!

Error messages are a common way for hackers to gain information about a system. Useless error messages are recommended for security.

If you enter your username as Robert’'); DROP TABLE Students;-- giving the error “Oops, something went wrong” is better than “NoSuchTable: ‘Students’ Table doesn’t exist in the database” because now the hacker knows you’re using a database that interprets SQL commands and inputs aren’t being sanitized.

Hacking programs like Burp Suite have functions that spam sites with all kinds of garbage data and uses error messages and delays in response times to highlight potential vulnerabilities.

so that some RAs can feed the homework back through a different AI to handle the grading for them.

Reminds me of this comic

The Tumblr Effect

Canada actually produces very little vaccines because in the 80s the Conservative government thought it was a waste of tax money. Thankfully that’s changing since the Covid pandemic.

The lead developers of Lemmy. They also develop the mobile Lemmy app Jerboa (personally, not my first choice).

More like banning USB sticks because between 2011 and 2021 KIA and Hyundai removed engine immobilizers from their car designs to save a few dollars which allowed their cars to be started by turning the ignition with literally anything.

I pirated Paddington 2 the other day then deleted it. If that wasn’t available I would have watched something else. I get what you’re saying, but I also don’t take it that seriously. I mean, I watched Paddington 2. I’m not exactly a movie buff.
