No they’re not. My family had them and we come from a welsh mining family. I just think they are (or used to be) more widely used in Europe.

Well yes, if you let autocorrect write code contribution, I think you should lable that contribution as AI.

I feel the need to point out that western culture as such doesn’t really exist. It’s the same as saying ‘Asian Culture’. It’s way too broad of a descriptor to be able to judge it the way you do. US culture differs quite a lot from European cultures for example.

And what you are describing is true for a lot of cultures/countries that aren’t ‘western’. Consumerism is a global phenomenon.

Alright, thanks for the confirmation! Yeah, hopefully this won’t affect FOSS projects too much…

What position? I’m not discussing anything with you lol

And if you were informed here you wouldn’t be down voting someone talking about their families experience with one of the more brutal regimes in modern history. But it’s cute!

I also use /e/OS. I’m not too versed in these things, but if I understand correctly from your comment, this decision by Google won’t directly affect us right? Only in the sense that it discourages developers to not support FOSS apps?

You’re right.

I find it funny that Iran War Threads always devolve into people comparing the US and Iran and choosing sides, like wtf?

Should the US Government, which kills its own citizens, stay in power?

Should the Iranian Government, which kills its own citizens, stay in power?

If your answer is yes to any of those, fuck you.

If your answer is no to both of these, why are you even comparing them in order to choose sides?

(And of course the US is the main aggressor in this conflict and should be stopped, I am specifically talking about the people comparing the atrocities of both countries and saying one is better than the other.)

I’m just sorry for all the civilians caught in the crossfire.

Edit: Spelling

Oh no! Fascists threatening fascists. Whatever shall we do. Anyway…

You said they think they’re clever. I’m assuming you’re maybe not a native english speaker but saying it that way means you think they’re not clever. Just so you know

But that’s not what you said? You didn’t disagree with them you called them not clever/stupid. You’re the one that seems offended by people using a quote for some reason.

What are you guys even arguing about?

They like using a specific quote, so what? Why do you care?

Talking Shit, as I suspected.

1. Name one doctors society that does. Because I seriously doubt most, if any doctors say that.

2. Please show me the evidence for that

I will ignore the rest of the rubbish you wrote

Which doctors are trying to get rid of the “concept” of addiction? What Illness is addiction a “symptom” of? What billion Dollar Industry are you talking about exaclty? If Addiction is a symptom and not an illness why did you spend this whole thread arguing about its criteria? Symptoms aren’t diagnosed.

The only one being fuzzy and vague is you

Because you seem to lack the understanding that no one criteria is enough to diagnose addiction. And yes the preoccupation and duration of use are listed as criteria in both ICD-11 and the DSM-5. Just because there is no set number doesn’t mean they do not factor in to diagnosis. And again how it affects your health and life in generell are obviously also criteria by which addiction gets diagnosed. But saying duration and amount of use are not factors is not true.

Interesting. How many times do I have to explain the concept of needing multiple criteria in order to diagnose addiction for you to understand it?

Well if you’re honestly not trolling…

I don’t have to think about what I’m saying because I know that this:

“doctors have to base their diagnosis on “I want to stop but I can’t” and that’s all.”

is not true.

Do you seriously believe psychiatrists only have this one determining factor to decide if someone is addicted to something?

The ICD-11, which is what is relevant where I’m from, states Gaming Addiction as a behavioral addiction for which one diagnostic criteria is preoccupation which is determined by how often you play games.

To be fair the DSM-5(American Psychiatric Association) lists gaming addiction in it’s ‘more research needed’ section and hasn’t yet determined diagnostic criteria for gaming addiction specifically. But it does have the behavioral addiction of gambling, in which preoccupation is also one of these criteria.

I don’t know what else to tell you other than that the information you have or where it comes from is simply not true, I’m sorry.
