  • Healthier than alcohol or a long term solution ?

    Weed is less harmful than alcohol, with almost absolute certainty, which is not to say it is good for your health ("Healthier" does not equate "Healthy"), because it isn't good for your health. There are many many studies backing this claim. Also, it is still debatable whether it is good for the mind of an adult. Some people seem to believe so. It is proven to be bad for your mental health before the brain is fully developped (~25 years old).

    Long term solution for pain: I guess if nothing else works, it could be.. Everyone deals with pain the way they can with what they can access/afford.

  • I'm not aware of the exact motivations of all the actors. What follows are my guesses.

    My guess would be that

    • Some député want to protect children from the most dangerous types of porn (which I can hear on some level, porn can be addictive for some people and can lead to negative behaviour, children are always more sensitive).
    • Some probably think that all porn is bad and want to prevent anyone from consuming it, this would only be a first step for those.
    • Some definitely want to be able to spy on everyone and use this as an excuse to further reduce privacy and freedom

    You might not be aware depending where you are from, but France is on a slippery slope towards Fascism, the far right is gaining more power every day, a lot of people think it is very plausible that a far right president is elected on the next election (2027), along with a parliament's majority.

  • Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.

  • You misunderstand, France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France.

    It is to protest against a new law requiring porn site to verify the users age. Which they argue will have dire consequences for security and privacy (I fully agree about the danger)

  • I get where this meme is coming from, but I think it's a bad idea to remove a person's credibility if they believe in a thing that I consider supernatural/bullshit/pseudoscience/charlatanesque.

    Firstly: a supernatural phenomenon today could be a scientific field tomorrow. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    Secondly: They could simply be ill-informed about the state of knowledge about that subject, or they had a very bizarre experience that they don't know how to explain otherwise, or they never thought too much about it.

    They do lose credibility to me when I present facts and arguments as to why I believe it to be false, and they fail to show they can have a rational debate to explain why they think I should change my mind or understand that they could be in the wrong and acknowledge it.

  • Apples are not homogenous, the underlying requirement when asking for "equal share" is that no one is dissatisfied with his/her share, or envy someone else's share. The solution is a dynamic process :

    After explaining it clearly to everyone, hover the knife above the left of the first apple as if you were going to cut it through but without doing it, move the knife slowly to the right until one of the three participants says he is happy with that share, cut the apple at that point and that participant gets that share. Then do the same with the second apple and the remaining unserved participants. Whoever doesn't have anything after that gets the remaining two slices.

    Since everyone "could have" spoke earlierto get a share, everyone has a share that they consider the best in their frame of reference and everyone is satisfied.

    This solution also works with more than three participants

    Edit: I just now realised the goal was to do it in a single cut

  • What I do is my scale is underneath my bowl, every time I need to add a quantity of an ingredient I reset it to zero with what's in it.

    Though I get that filling a cup and dumping it in seems very practical at first glance, what happen when you need 3/4 of a cup ? Or 1.5 cup ? Do you have 20 cup in the kitchen of different sizes, then you need to grab the one of the correct size which isn't more practical than having a scale which can do infinite granularity, also I expect you would take the wrong cup on many occasions and get the wrong quantity

  • This guy does.

    Where I'm from, flour is sold as packages of 1kg, which they say is 1000g (way too much in my humble opinion) , which cannot be easily divided with simple maths when I want to halve or double my recipe. Recipe specify flour in grams, which makes it so very complicated when I need to convert it to ngogn, in the end I'm always left with flour in my package when I want to double the size of my cakes, which wouldn't happen if the package size was sold in cubic potrzebies.

  • You can call me 'silly' if you want, I've been called worse :-D

    Does it matter that a position is mainstream for defending it ? I haven't taken any "sides" on the AI topic in this thread, just stated my opinions regarding the subject of intellectual property, which is very inconsequential, furthermore we are on lemmy, that is not mainstream either. Do we have to "take side" and be split on every topic, tribally defending our "side", because the other side are obviously idiots ?

  • I'm an advocate of full copyleft mentality : free and open source for any use, including commercial. If I'm sharing my work then anyone can do anything with it, I'm not entirely sure about attribution yet though, probably a remnant of being raised in this society..

  • Probably, and I'll denounce and blame them for this just the same. My moral compass is that copyright shouldn't exist to begin with. I never said AI companies are good or that they should be allowed to do everything, just that the copyright issue is not the problem for me.

  • It's always the people that fear for their assets that want things to stay the same.

    I find it interesting that people who were pro pirating, are now against AI companies using copyrighted materials.

    Personally, I think copyright was a dumb concept and shouldn't exist. It's time we get rid of it.
