As an European living in Asia and can’t help but cringe at American cars. They’re so far behind. And it’s the car country. Japan has better cars and better rail. Embarassing.

Tbf notoriously China subsidizes BYD to net loss so its not exactly capitalism.

Subnautica 2 must be in a pretty dire spot for this to happen. I guess we’ll see as the story unrolls and early access comes eventually but I’ve met many successful people who stopped caring after they made it big (which is fine but then just quit) so I really wouldn’t be surprised if the publisher is right here.

Lmao as usual gamers rush in with outrage and turns out the issue is not that simple.

It’s the toughest problem for this very reason but thats why freedom of competition is critical here. We can allow systems to self correct through incentives and protections and thats exactly what most western democracies are doing!

Diversity has been hijacked as a ideological word but its literally the best and most sustainable long term strategy even in rigid markets like investment (I.e. hedging, index funds etc). So diversifying power, despite blocking, is really powerful despite what current autocrat wannabes want us to believe.

Will it though? Looking at China, Russia or Iran I’m not so certain. In fact it seems to be regressing without anyone actively working for progress.

Theres definitely some risk especially in semi-anonymous forums like Lemmy. For example Lemmy.world is blocking VPNs so they know everyone’s IP addresses and given post history etc its very easy to actually identify who’s who. Especially now with AI forensics.

That being said, as a security expert, I think it’s not always productive for casual people to be obsessed with this and you if you can you should use a VPN or a mobile network which due to how cell towers work is much more anonymous than anything else in practice (datacenter IPs work too as well as TOR but those are blocked in practice)

Someone was asking about “vignette glasses” on /c/asklemmy

Gamifying altruism kinda works

Im a philosophical Idealist so 100% the viewer. That viewer can be the artist themselves but the point stands - only observer can view art.

The process of creating art can be an art in itself and so does the meta societal situation of art culture but all of that still only matter in the pov of the viewer. So, the creation, creator or any context itself is not important for definiting art unless that’s the meta subject.

Thats why AI generated art is fundamentally art because if the viewer doesn’t know the context the effect of art upon their conciousness is exactly the same.

It’s so blatant as if theyre using an instruction manual or something 🤔

It makes difference for them self correcting their world model. Turn the other cheek and all etc.

It’s called outside!

Joking aside, its fundamentally unlikely as if you’re not paying you’re the product and maintaining a dating network is a lot of work both in admin tasks, technical tasks and legal tasks.

Youtube is just lazy. These bots are laughably easy to detect and block.

You’re overthining. There aren’t enough billionaires for abstracts like this. Just create specific teams fir evaluating each individual billionaire’s due.

How would you legally enforce robots.txt? It’s not a legally sound system.

Dude if they’re close friends they definitely talked about your dick many times before so you shouldn’t worry too much.

As a fix maybe you can discuss this with your girl so she can clarify to her friends in some form that she’s getting plenty of dick despite the pic. Clearly she cares and seems like she’d go through with it. Just be open about it - your partner should be able to support you through this even if its silly, especially if its silly actually.

As non-american I’m becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.

Iranian cyber capabilities are laughable. There are these threats every month it seems and they get some ddos attacks on some meme network like truth social lol
