Ban evasion so you can continue your triad against another user for their completely innocuous post definitely justifies a permanent ban from that single community.
I agree with that other user, go touch grass. You can use that time to do a lot more for animal rights than arguing with random Lemmy users ever will.
Did you even read the article? DEI is about hiring practices, not game content.
Jesus christ. I really thought that headline was exaggerated, but no, the brain samples they tested actually ended up being 0.5% plastic by weight. That's seriously disturbing, I really would have thought the blood-brain barrier would do a better job of keeping plastics out.
That's true, but this is also ensuring that people can vet whatever they get out of an AI and make sure it isn't just hallucinated garbage
Yeahh this is just community-made DLC. It's got paid content and everything has to be vetted by Microsoft. Really not comparable to traditional mods and the complete freedom they offer.
I mean, they never claimed it was to protect users. It was to protect their user's data from being used without paying Reddit. They didn't like that AI companies were using Reddit content as a free source of training data, they never gave a shit about their users' privacy.
Yes, they allow certain "non-obtrusive" ads by default. Some people might be fine with this, but it should absolutely be opt-in, and their deal with an ad company is the only reason it's the default.
Well, yes, as far as our theories go. But we also "knew" that light was a wave that traveled through the luminiferous aether, which permiated all of space... Until we tested that theory with the Michelson-Morely experiment, and it turned out our theories were completely wrong and physics as we knew it was completely upended.
Point being, it's important to actually test our theories instead of assuming they're completely correct just because most of their predictions are accurate.
"Soy boy" is commonly used by MAGAs as a derogatory term to mean a feminine man. There was some rumor about how soy could mimic estrogen in the body (not really true) and so they believe that eating soy products makes men feminine. This is obviously bullshit, but maybe it's somehow spiraled from "real men shouldn't eat soy" into "no one should eat soy"
To be clear, they're trying to get rid of it because oral phenylephrine doesn't work. It's completely ineffective at being a decongestant.
Not to be a downer but... how did people not anticipate this happening? Google is likely going to do everything they can to shut down non-official clients like Piped, since they're sidestepping all of YouTube's revenue streams. Hopefully they don't take the nuclear option and somehow lock down the API and make it much harder to download videos via tools like yt-dlp.
That tells me you're either a cishet, white, male, or you're woefully uneducated and selfish. You're totally in favor of development crunch too, aren't you?
