  • I'm in Australia, only thing I've had issues with are archery stuff, which sometimes gets marked as firearms, which triggers our customs agents.

  • Aliexpress, you'll probably find it for significantly cheaper as well.

    When ever Im in one of those knick-knack stores, I like to play a game of "find the jewelry from Aliexpress". Its usually the stuff claiming to be hand-made :(

    Edit: Is this it: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007016568231.html ?

  • 'Hetero Awesome Fest' planned for Idaho capitol during LGBTQ Pride Month

    Jump

  • It'll be filled to the brim with closeted gay men. Not allies, but not hetero either.

  • Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That)

    Jump

  • Alphonso is listening for TV sound signatures, which while definitely intrusive and privacy invading, is not the same as 24/7 listening for voice-to-text-to-ad purposes.

    They would only need to listen for a second or so to determine what channel you are on, instead of all the time, so there is a massive difference in scope.

    They are effectively shazaming your TV.

    Still creepy and invasive, but not 24/7 recording invasive.

  • Turning the Tables: How to Make Spammers Reveal Their Own IP Address

    Jump

  • The myaddress+shop@gmail.com should be trivial to defeat by a spammer. Its a very simple string remove/replace to get back to a stock email address, or change it to impersonate another service, eg. myaddress+netflix@gmail.com.

    It's only useful for the actual service, after that, you can't rely on it.

  • Do words like 'conmunity', 'family', 'team', 'clan', 'society' 'country' etc still mean anything anymore, or are we devolving into individualistic people looking out for no 1?

    Jump

  • "I'd like to offer you a job, we're like a family here"

    Family might have a fairly clear definition, but the word does get abused, and it is eating away at its meaning.

  • Theia IDE – Open-Source Cloud and Desktop IDE

    Jump

  • Is this not just vscode? Its definitely not eclipse, although from memory that could be served as a webapp through some fancy java to html thing.

  • YouTube Tests AI Overviews in Search Results

  • watchtime-boosting filler content

    Wonder whose responsible for the policies that created that? :D

  • If death wasn't a thing what would be the most unforgivable crime?

    Jump

  • In time only solved ageing, everyone was still mortal, so you could still die from a car crash or being shot. And there definitely was a tiered classes system in place, with the rich having more "life", and the poor literally living paycheck to paycheck.

    I really liked it, should watch it again.

  • Are you referring to "In Time", or some other film? The Man From Earth is another interesting film about a singular immortal man.

    There is heaps to unpack, it really is a complete game changer.

    The other issue, is what about other animals. If they end up immortal as well, we'd be litterally drowning in any animals that breed rapidly, like rats, rabbits etc.

  • I was gonna make a joke about ending the abortion debate, but then I went down a rabbit hole:

    Abortions procedures would still be a thing, but the fetus wouldnt die. Its just an extremely premature birth. That means that intentional pregnancies could be "harvested" early, for the fetus to grow up outside the mothers body.

    Lots to unpack.

  • Seriously (or at least as serious as a hypothetical invinciblity/immortality scenario can be :D): food water and housing. You can live without most other things, but being cold, wet, starving and dehydrated will really make the eternity drag on :)

  • Separate comment, because I think it deserves its own discussion, but can there really be aging and illness? It might get a bit philosophical, but if all your cells stop regenerating and die off, eventually you'll end up a bit of ooze that can't interpret or perceive the world, so at that point you would be dead?

    In my interpretation of the scenario, it would be like "in time", everyone grows up to 18 (or some arbitrary age), and then you are stuck like that forever after?

    How are you envisaging it?

  • Euthanasia is still death though, so unless live people are just going to crawl into a box and willingly never come out? And if they do get out, are they going to be okay with having being starved in complete isolation?

    And where are their bodies stored? Outside of few exceptions, most human bodies decay away within a hundred years, so the grave sites can be reused, but you cant do that if someone's still in it?

    If the world allows voluntary death, then it gets a bit easier to deal with though.

  • UNLIMITED IMMORTAL CATS

  • If death wasn't a thing what would be the most unforgivable crime?

    Jump

  • Unauthorised pregnancy. If no one can die, every new birth is effectively stealing from the limited pool of resources. Too many births, everyone starves, no one can die to ease the burden on the limited resources. Endless suffering for all.

  • Just to lightly temper your expectations, the OCR isnt perfect, and you may need to add your own tags/text, but its still an awesome system.
