Data privacy AND not having to deal with more bullshit AI? Oh my, how will we ever cope with this… /s

As a mildly introverted person, this sounds like hell. I’d pay a tax to be left alone

It is. It also happens to be undefined, and checking that for truth is how I was bitten.

My dude, you need to understand that all that anger and resentment, it is not you. It’s the years of JavaScript poisoning your mind.

In any case, that goes to my point. I would have to be saved by my IDE, when any sane language will blow up in your face as soon as you try to run it.

I spent way too long today figuring out why my app was doing something that it’s NOT supposed to do on weekends.

I read Luxon’s docs (pretty cool lib tbh) again and again, and tried everything I could think of to get isWeekend to return a sane result.

Turns out I was pulling a somewhat older version of Luxon, where isWeekend didn’t exist. In any sane language, I expect I’d get a huge warning about a property that doesn’t exist, but alas…

Typescript helps me keep my sanity, but juuuuust barely.

This is why the internet is worth saving.

I was expecting a better punchline… Some about learning and understanding the world around us is, to me, what makes religion unnecessarily.

You can joke about anything, I’m a fan of dark humour. But these aren’t even jokes, they’re just spiteful remarks about 2 dead guys.

Maybe alienating your allies is why the death penalty still exists

How many for bad apple

There’s strong statistical evidence suggesting that millennials are, on average, older than gen z’ers. It not clear from the latest studies what could have caused this presumed age gap.

Those same studies also evidenced the startling fact that the tested individuals shared over 99.9% of their genome and could in fact belong to the same species, which is what prompted all the recent controversy after one of the lead researchers said in a televised interview that “they’re all people”.

I really want to ditch Google, but DuckDuckGo aint there my brother.

It may work for some simpler/lazy searches, but for real stuff, nah.

The “good” thing is that Google search is going the way of Amazon, so with Google shooting themselves in the foot and DDG catching up a bit, maybe soon they’ll level

You’re a hypocrite and a liar.

Let me tell you why: Infant mortality (live births that died under 1 year of age) in the US rose by 3% in 2022, increasing for the first time in 20 years from 5.44 per 1000 live births in 2021 to 5.60. (data from the CDC)

Comparing with Europe, you let almost twice of your babies die.

I’m talking about real babies here, babies whose fathers have held them in their arms, changed their diapers, sang them lullabies… And you let them die.

Why is infant mortality in the US the highest of any industrialised nation?

Two reasons: because maternity care in the US is utterly appalling, and because you limit access to abortion. Read more.

You don’t care about children. You care about controlling women. Land of the free allright…

Yeah… I’ll scratch “find myself agreeing with goddamn Erdogan” from my The World Is Fucked bingo card

I’m really curious if your DMs are now flooded with weirdos and dick pics, or if lemmy is any different from the rest of the internet.

I don’t think they’re really comparable?

These AI pictures are “make believe”. They’re just a guess at what someone might look like nude, based on what human bodies look like. While apparently they look realistic, it’s still a “generic” nude, kind of how someone would fantasize about someone they’re attracted to.

Of course it’s creepy, and sharing them is clearly unacceptable as it’s certainly bullying and harassment. These AI nudes say more about those who share them than they do about who’s portrayed in them.

However, sharing intimate videos without consent and especially as revenge? That’s a whole other level of fucked up. The AI nudes are ultimately “lies” about someone, they’re fakes. Sharing an intimate video, that is betraying someone’s trust, it’s exposing something that is private but very real.

I need to know where this is, I’m sure I’m going to come across a door with this rune

Why is it unreasonable?

This isnt demanding apple to retrofit usb-c to old phones. This is telling them to stop producing new phones with lightning, and instead use USB-C.

This is highly relevant for India as it’s a price conscious market, and Apple sells a lot more older models than elsewhere, specifically Europe who passed a similar law but on new models only.

And if a student figured out how to add a fully functional usb-c port to an iPhone X, I’m sure apple can figure it out for an iPhone 14.

Yeah I thought the same, that would be wild.

But for models that are actively being produced, it’s fair game.
