Yeah but maybe their toes are just jammed up all the way to the front and they don’t know how shoes work! You never know!

Mmm school cafeteria fish, sounds delish and like nothing could be even remotely disappointing about that option.

At first glance I thought this was rimworld and you were running some organ harvesting operation of epic proportions.

Trump’s a big fan of throwing out decades of precedence and international agreements. UK should formally renounce the Treaty of Paris and just to fuck with him.

Idk, but if I had to guess, the answer is almost always money.

Because reading articles is hard, better to blindly trust a headline and summary comment. People on Lemmy wouldn’t lie to me, would they?

Ahh yes, the “thank God I have infinite money, I literally can’t lose” approach.

Use it? The US invented it. The US has historically funded it as part of their human rights initiatives. Like I said:

Also many of the sponsored projects help people circumvent authoritarian government overreach, which is something that until recently has been considered “good” for the US. The more freely information can flow the harder it is for authoritarian regimes to exert control.

Given the nature of the Tor network, it’s likely any “official” use within the US government would probably involve things like communicating with people working undercover / informants, etc., and not be something broadly discussed.

If US uses FOSS software in its operations (it does, everyone does) it has a vested interest in keeping these projects alive.

Personal assistant? Personal stylist? Anti-Personnel weapon?

Jobs in journalism have been in decline for decades, the rise of AI is just another nail in the coffin of quality journalism. Hard to prove fault, but it’s not helping.

“Worth” only according to its owner, who paid himself to buy it from himself under a different org. Good luck finding an outside investor willing to spend $30B on it now that it’s turned into a hate pool with a shit revenue stream

How many websites do you browse with links to truly illegal content?

If you live in a country with truly abysmal human rights, definitely don’t bother with this plugin, but in most cases you should be fine on the illegal side.

Even if somehow the website you’re browsing has some super sketchy ad to buyillegaldrugshere.com or whatever, to get in trouble with the law in most civilized places you’d have to actually buy the illegal drugs, not just ping the illegal drugs IP. Especially since you can pretty easily prove to a judge that your system fetches ad links automatically and without further engagement.

Not saying it can’t happen, just that it’s really unlikely you would be served an ad for something so illegal just clicking on it is a liability. The literally only case I can think of coming close is CSAM, but even then, if you’re regularly browsing websites that advertise CSAM, maybe find other websites to occupy your time? And I can just about guarantee any website serving CSAM ads is already doing illegal shit, so you should probably be more worried about that than an ad-click…

Start the campaign now for President in 2256. Wouldn’t want the judges to look politically biased, they’ll have to hold off on sentencing until after the election.

Idk if it makes me elderly, a child, or a non-gamer, but I fucking loved BOTW/TOTK. Nintendo, through those games and countless more, have repeatedly proven frame rates and fidelity aren’t what make games great. Sure, some games (especially competitive ones) benefit from better performance, but just as many get by on their creativity, story, etc.

That 9070xt looking more and more tempting

Half as many child laborers digging up cobalt in third world countries is a good start, I guess… But this does nothing to solve the root cause of the problem.

Who’s to say when they lose their jobs at the cobalt mines they don’t move onto something even more dangerous?

Also this assumes some sort of growth plateau. We could recycle and continue to extract at the same rate pretty easily due to growth.

Solving child labor by recycling batteries is like trying to solve global warming with carbon capture. At best you’re just ignoring the cause. At worst you’re enabling the worst offenders by providing a smokescreen for them to hide behind.

Certain other content crosses boarders. Mastadon especially. Whenever you see people replying to messages and it starts with some sort of @user@lemmy.verse tagging, you’re probably eavesdropping on a Mastadon thread and you don’t even know it.

Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn’t even make the list. Am I old now?

You ever watch Orphan Black? Based on a true story.
