  • Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet

    Jump

  • They're making it so that vigilante justice is the only form of justice the ruling class can receive.

  • Why do so many conservatives in the US bash on California all the time?

    Jump

  • Nevada and texas are both shitholes. They exist to exploit workers who don't know any better and have bought into a lie sold to them by rich people.

  • Why do so many conservatives in the US bash on California all the time?

    Jump

  • I agree. California has a great geographical advantage, but it's not what makes the state so attractive to live in.

    People don't like a cloistered lifestyle unless they've lived in it their entire lives. This means that new people considering moving to 'flyover states' have to contend with the local tribe that has been conned into thinking abortion kills babies and immigrants are sent by the devil.

    It's extremely difficult to break this trend, but I think we should be doing what we can to reach those who didn't have the opportunities we did.

  • What is a food that you are very picky about?

    Jump

  • Nothing, really. If I'm picky about something, I usually just won't eat it.

    I don't like skins on sausage or pulp in beverages.

  • What concrete steps can be taken to combat misinformation on social media? This problem is hardly an issue on this platform, but it certainly is elsewhere. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

    Jump

  • Teach people how to cite appropriately.

    We learned how to do it in middle school, but I can tell most of my adult peers either didn't pay attention or forgot.

  • What were your parent's rules on video games?

    Jump

  • My mom was really against cursing and of course anything sexual, but the rest was pretty much fair game.

    An exception would be Manhunt, but I even got to play MGS3 as a kid (which ended up being my favorite game of all time.)

  • Removed

    Is it a bad idea to let my kid's friends rent from me and live in my house?

    Jump

  • It's just business. If they weren't renting from you, they'd be renting from someone else.

  • Is there a Lemmy community for discussing LLMs from a technical perspective?

    Jump

  • Probably not. You can try to find more niche, tech-minded communities, but they will be small and I don't see discussion lasting awhile.

    It's unfortunate how many people are eager to fall for tribalism, but it puts into perspective why most of them should not be taken seriously.

    Hopefully you can help make a community that values discussion over virtue-signaling.

  • What meals do you cook when very low on money?

    Jump

  • Microwave meatball subs and raw broccoli.

  • This is not the US constitution; it used to be, but Article I, part of section 8, & all of sections 9 & 10 have been removed

    Jump

  • Yes, and it's not just adults.

    Children are brought into this world with no experience of how things used to be different. The ruling class has mastered taking advantage of children.

  • Like it or not, nations don't exist independently of one another.

  • GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out.

    Jump

  • Yes, this isn't just about profits for these companies.

    It's about control. They want to prove that they own us, and they're right more often than not because of useful idiots.

  • Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK

    Jump

  • You get to notice things you didn't notice before. It's a lot easier for our brains to 'zoom in' and process minute details that we don't perceive normally. Since lossless and lossy music is not the exact same audio vibrating the air, our brains are not going to interpret them exactly the same. This difference doesn't matter to most and isn't always perceivable, but it's there.

    One thing that stood out to me during an acid trip was how moving my phone affected the playback speed of my bluetooth speakers. Moving it farther away caused the song to slow down slightly for a moment, moving it closer caused the song to speed up slightly. You can imagine that this is because of some kind of 'space invaders' effect, where my phone is sending out signals at a constant rate and adjusting the distance to the receiver causes those signals to be received faster or slower, temporarily.

    Jump

  • I'd say it's definitely worth it.

    Our brains shouldn't have to work harder to listen to lossy music, which is what happens even if you can't reliably perceive it.

    Listening to music on acid (a lot) has really shaped my views of it and how even the most minor things can have a major impact on the final experience.

    I'm not an audiophile though and can enjoy music in a wide range of formats and quality; I just prefer FLAC almost anywhere.*

    *some songs sound 'better,' or at least more iconic in a lower quality

    Jump

  • This is another step closer to requiring an ID to use the internet at all, which is exactly what the ruling class wants.

    Fight back wherever you can.

  • Wow, $700m!? So this is why spotify is priced the way that it is!

    Useful idiots kept telling me it's so they can keep the lights on and put their kids through college, lmao.
