Is that more times than they caused it?

They cured mouse cancer!?

I haven’t yet watched it, but it is a Not Just Bikes video and therefore I expect it will be thorough, reasonable, and enlightened — and that you have completely mischaracterized it. Are you just guessing what it’s about from the title?

So … the US navy are basically pirates now?

Don’t worry about it, other than being in the wrong spot it looks like a fine post to me. I’m not sure where, exactly, would’ve been better — I only subscribe to relatively few lemmy communities.

And then Optimus will come around to your house, and it will give everyone free ice cream. Whatever flavor you like! Then Optimus will save all the sick animals and make them better, and fix the ozone layer, and stop crime. Optimus is going to cure cancer, and eliminate traffic jams, and make me the most popular man in the world. A true communist utopia.

Youtube videos do not belong here.

The thing they used to show kids to try and get us interested in computer programming back when I was in school about a hundred years ago was called Logo. Apparently there’s now an online version called LYNX which might be worth a look.

Yes. It’s not complicated. The grown-up way to do it is to have parents or other appropriate people be responsible for ensuring that the children in their care are permitted only to use web browsers that are set to a standardized “child mode” in the configuration, which simply signals to all concerned that the user is under the age limit.

There is no technical barrier to doing it. It isn’t expensive or complicated. There is no need for any more than that one bit of data to be collected by anyone. The determination of age would be done that way. Everything else, including what giant social media corps are allowed to do to children, can be just as they imagine it.

There is no way to tell how old people are across the Internet. There are, on the other hand, lots of unworkable, unacceptable, anti-democratic totalitarian horror stories about how they want to change that. So long as any semblance of democracy remains it will not work in the long run.

It wouldn’t be such a bad idea if they were able to remain mindful of the fact that there is no way to tell how old somebody is over the Internet.

It’s the deficient market hypothesis in action: If someone has money, he must be right. Therefore, give him more money.

That video came up in my youtube recommendations last night, and I watched it. Pretty good, although if you’ve used Windows in the past ten years there aren’t going to be any real surprises in there. It sucks for all the reasons people usually complain about, and it’s all getting worse lately.

According to my browser history:

• Music of Cowboy Bebop
• Folk high school
• The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
• Build Canada Homes
• Hominidae
• A Coney Island of the Mind
• American Chestnut
• Les Nessman

The strength of todays “AI” is generating bullshit, isn’t it? Not that it doesn’t take more than that to invent a new religion, I suppose you also need genuine holy divine inspiration and so on, but it sure might be helpful to the process.

For me the X11 era continues for now (until the next version of xfce I expect) and the era of GNOME ended 23 years ago.

It serves at least as a pointer to the paper.

How long until they notice lemmy?

It’s not the same thing as slavery I think. But it’s in the same moral category as slavery. It would be impossible for me to participate in such a thing in any way.

Yeah I think some Conservatives abstaining is the most likely path. Much as they’d like to I don’t think the NDP (or Elizabeth May) are going to want to be seen as enabling it.

If the Conservatives don’t make it happen, their party may just get its own chance to fail to pass their first budget very soon.
