If your worst-case scenario for lax online identity is that kids might watch porn… I don’t give a shit if kids watch porn.

“My dearest Delilah, how I long to sit with you and our beautiful daughter…”
Okay sure but this guy jumped out of a bush with a flaming axe and said he’d eat our spleens. And Vilrod here identified the axe as +1 against spleens.
Moore’s law of mad science: every decade, the IQ needed to end civilization drops by one point.
Every conversation with Bitcoin cranks: “People doubted the internet!!!” A few weirdos did, but most were on-board for obvious reasons. Meanwhile most tech predictions were pessimistic and correct because most tech advancements do not become a whole new god-damn economy unto themselves.
Is anyone compartmentalizing a browser? There’s enough moving parts that keeping them monolithic is an obstacle. Nobody really needs the option to swap in their own CSS parser or JS transpiler or whatever, but competing implementations could allow independence without each requiring a whole separate version of the complete stack.
Could’ve had an episode where they tried as many experiments as they could fit into a two-week production.
I don’t care if the robot that speaks English read the entire library.
How else was it going to happen?
Vegans in shambles.
Not related or metaphorical; they’re doing some direct action.
My layman’s understanding is that virtual particles can and do emerge from vacuum, but in ways that usually cancel out before affecting anything. Occasionally it does affect normal stuff - see the Casimir effect acting on surfaces very close together.
I personally suspect this is an explanation for dark matter and a possible origin of the universe.
If there’s tiny bits of stuff and anti-stuff blinking in and out of existence, anywhere there’s a big fat nothing, both halves should still exhibit gravity before blipping back out. It wouldn’t show up as normal matter because it spends most of its time not existing. The vacuum really is empty… on average. It just hums with enough short-lived quantum shenanigans to have nonzero mass.
And if this follows a steep curve for distribution, then it’s like blackbody radiation. A hot rock will overwhelmingly emit photon wavelengths near the peak, for any given temperature, but in theory any temperature can emit any wavelength. It just happens with vanishing rarity as you get up into the spicy photons. If vacuum will occasionally fart out a particle and antiparticle, then very occasionally it should fart out two particles and antiparticles, together. And with vanishing rarity it can theoretically fart out an arbitrary quantity of mass, alongside a negation that is presumably equal. But if that’s off by a little bit - if it’s allowed to be off by a little bit - then an equally arbitrary quantity of mass will remain. Even if the masses have to match exactly, they could recombine in ways that produce angular momentum and never properly rejoin. And if vacuum produces gravity, well, anything that’s left will accelerate away in all directions.
On cosmic timescales it’s possible that matter just kinda happens. We’d be left with the question of why the fuck that’s how anything works, and where all this quantum vacuum bullshit came from. But creationist cranks would have to retreat back to the first sentence. In the beginning, there was nothing. And it was slightly heavy.
Got tired of posing as Egyptian gods.
Infantalizing people for their own good --> infantalizing people as an insult.
More behavior you need to cut the fuck out.
Nobody’s stopping you.
You should stop.
This is not a contradiction.
It’s bullshit and you should stop.
It’s a pattern of destroying information over puritanical nonsense. Treat people like adults.
Why, in the name of god, does Lemmy’s obsession with censorship include the word “jerk?”
They’re just shuffling cards. They will make whatever mouth noises get to their foregone conclusion. This is how they perform loyalty to the ingroup.
They think that’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.
Addressing exactly one of those things: GBA Jam 2024 runs for another two months.
Java is an okay format owned by the devil. When two devices running Java connect via wifi, One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison expects the air in-between them to be properly licensed. If the free software movement had not been founded to say “fuck printers,” it would have sprung into being in order to say “fuck Oracle.”
If businesses spring up to advise customers how to handle your billing and legal departments, maybe you shouldn’t be a company anymore.
Internet says Bro Aniki.
Any community demanding “be civil” can fuck right off, because they’re almost guaranteed to protect trolls and bastards from any meaningful condemnation.
