The first recipient of a genetically modified pig kidney transplant has died nearly two months after he underwent the procedure, his family and the hospital that performed the surgery said Saturday....
If he was actually truthful he'd be talking about setting up concentration camps, but that doesn't quite fly yet. I give it a few years until the Overton Window is that far right
I have no idea how anything you said is related to my quip about conservatives wanting to set up concentration camps for trans folks (or probably "wokists" in general)
This reeks of someone who uses the word "woke" unironically
Edit: I couldn't help my curiosity. Turns out not only do they use the word "woke" unironically, they seem to think that grown men dating teenagers is A-OK, because of course they do:
As someone who actually does have chronic diarrhea and shat their pants just today (yay autoimmune diseases), I agree. "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy" can get fucked, I absolutely do wish this shit (🥁) on them.
At least here in the EU the ePrivacy directive and to a lesser extent the GDPR generally require that cookies have a limited lifetime depending on their function, to eg. prevent companies just attaching a stable identifier to every random passerby essentially forever. @Sunny, if you're feeling particularly mildly infuriated you could email the German Data Protection Authority, there's a good chance the cookie could attract the Eye of Sauron
The directive itself is kind of involved because it goes pretty deep into what its aim is and eg. what sort of information can be considers an identifier, and it's actually quite well argued and worth a read if that sort of thing is your, er, thing: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32002L0058 (you need to scoll aaalll the way down to be able to show the body text). I had to deal with this stuff professionally when I was a CTO for a company with some stricter than average privacy requirements due to the field, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much sense ePrivacy and GDPR actually make
A Georgia business owner who bragged that he “fed” a police officer to a mob of rioters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Thursday to nearly five years in prison for his repeated attacks on law enforcement during the insurrection....
“Ethnically cleanse,” he said at one point, summing up his idea for a city purged of Blues (this, he says, will prevent Blues from ethnically cleansing the Grays first).
Conservatives are incredibly fucked up. They can't fathom coexisting with people who aren't like them without wanting to "ethnically cleanse" them, so they naturally assume everybody else thinks like this as well
"Right now it is impossible to know how big this gray area is, because scientific journals do not require authors to declare the use of ChatGPT, there is very little transparency […]"
This might help to get statistics on how many people eg. use ChatGPT to brush up language, but I doubt anybody who uses the unedited output of an LLM to actually "write" large parts of an article is likely to declare they did it
It's great that this article linked to the original journal article. Nice that it's open access, too! So good to see that it's becoming more common. The academic publishing business is just so… well, in a word, fucked.
Same, this was literally amazing. Here's a LiveScience piece I found that was a bit more in depth. It had a link to the article, and turns out it's open access yay
I've run into this problem with many open source projects. It's sometimes really hard to find out what the hell something actually does based on just the project's own pages. It took a while for eg. join-lemmy.org to actually describe what Lemmy is, for example, instead of just going on about it being open source and secure and federated and blah.
Yeah I really don't know where hostility against newbies (actual or perceived) comes from in nerd circles. It's been like this for as long as I can remember, and I've been eg. using Linux from the late 90's and fucking around on the Internet for over 30 years now. At least things are way better than they used to be, but it's still sometimes a bit of a bumpy ride
It takes like 20-40 seconds to load the homepage, up to a minute to send a comment (still takes a couple of attempts) and the inbox in sync just seemingly never ends up loading
Yeah something is definitely a bit borked. Wonder if there is more traffic in the federation or more users on the instance itself? Or is this just one of the joys of using a prerelease service? Lemmy is pretty resource-intensive because there's a lot of frankly pretty questionable design choices all over the project, from database design to coding practices, and it's apparently turned out to be a bit painful to scale
Hardware is a low-budget scifi horror movie that was the directorial debut of Richard Stanley – who is notable for being the initial director in the notorious Island of Dr. Moreau filmatization in the 90's – and starring Dylan McDermott and Stacey Travis....
You're welcome! And yes, Hardware is exactly that.
Considering the budget was less than a million GBP they did a great job. It's not an Orson Welles flick, but it's fun and often visually interesting – it looks sort of like I'd expect the world of Brazil to look some years in the future and after a nuclear war.
Definitely been one of my favorites ever since I saw it as a teen, and it doesn't seem to be too well known so I'm happy to spread the message
