We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is “you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months”, this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.

I’ve donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

On the other hand, I’ve been wondering for years, that while I’ve been told a million times that “blood reserves are low - donate blood now!”, I’ve not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

My personal guess is that this comes because “lack of avaiable blood donations” isn’t a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it’s hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to “save” blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.

oh this is a cool concept

I wonder how you ever could “upload” a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

Cyberpunk2077 also has this “upload vs copy” issue, but doesn’t actually make you think about it too hard.

well, doesn’t it make sense when the business-model is to recoup R&D cost of the console with expensive games?
DRM becomes much harder once you can’t trust the system anymore.

Nintendo tried to lock the system down, and got fucked by NVIDIA.

It’s possible but is a lot more complicated with later switches.
First gen was super easy. I think current one needs a mod-chip installed to Boot custom Firmware (which you need for ROMs)

But they also showed with what they will come for you.
If you outsource decryption from emulation, they can’t do it (this way) again

I don’t think so.
But maybe Emulators need to change how they work.
Externalize a small, relatively simple tool to decrypt the ROM.
and a complicated, actively developed Emulator, that can only read decrypted ROMs.

With that, the Emulator shouldn’t be attackable the same way yuzu was.

Oh, I mean there’s nothing there.

A Court Document shows that Yuzu got a lawyer and will answer within 60 days of 2024-02-27.

The Answer will be the interesting bit. It may indicate if they wish to fight, or if they deem it not worth the effort.

Did I miss the cost?

nextcloud talk can also be an alternative (open source and self-hosted).

but I think the whole nextcloud suite is more suited as a hub for a (small?) business, not necessarily great for, lets say, family videocalls (due to the necessity of having an administrator who runs it).

I think it may be decent, but the homepage is not convincing me.

I had a tiny little look, and don’t like that I had to log in (although selfhosting seems to be possible since very recently), and then had a weirdly full notebook. It also seems like they don’t save their data in nice little markdown files, but use some custom database-stuff.
They probably allow exporting into markdown, but I’d prefer it to be stored in a legible format.

Overall, I had a look, and I’ll stay with logseq + syncthing

I’d say that’s a philosophical question.

And worse even, I’d say this is something that changes with the culture of people.

a while ago, gladiators killing & maiming each other for entertainment was considered fine.
Raping and Abducting during wartime was normal.

Currently, I’d say the cultural moral compass has shifted enough, to consider these two examples rather bad behaviour.

But as Tasty seems to have had a nice life and didn’t suffer, so had it better than most cows which end up in a similar fate, I’d say that currently this would not be considered “bad” behaviour by most people.

Of course there is a viewpoint already out, that all killing of animals is equivalent, in other words equivalent to killing humans. From that point of view, what you did is rather horrific.
Maybe, in some time, when something like lab-grown meat without any nervous system is commonplace, killing animals for food becomes as horrific as we consider killing other humans for food.
Or, you know, it could also swing the other way, and an apocalypse makes Soylent from dead people completely normal food.

So is this theory of veganism to not cause pain to an animal? If so what about ethically sourced meat. Like bullet to the head/decapitation. Most of those creatures feel nothing, they just end.

lots (propably most) animals used for farming meat are in pain during their lives.
That’s longer than the time they’re dying in any case.
