I hoped it was clickbait, but it isn't. What the fuck Denmark.

So someone who escapes from a fundamentalist Muslim country can't protest that regime in front of said country's embassy anymore?

Nah, still fucking stupid.

I'm going to jump to outrage because the entire premise of the proposed law is ridiculous, regardless of the wording.

This is a blasphemy law under the guise of international relations.

That's pretty much what the article says. The model needs to be trained on the target keyboard first, so you won't just have people hacking you through a random zoom call

This is my parents, who emigrated from Europe in 80s.

"Greece is always this hot in the summer"

"I remember 40 degree weather when I was a kid, no one was complaining then"

"Do they expect the Mediterranean not to get hot?"

I hate to see it, especially since they're both otherwise smart people. They're just completely taken in by climate denialism.

If someone has to ask the question, just recommend Ubuntu or Mint.

Of course fucking Osu is already there.

We're getting to the point where we can't really make transistors much smaller, for one

I recently pushed my company to move everything off of Alpine and onto Debian Slim

We had too many issues with musl that are incomprehensibly obscure and impossible to troubleshoot. Now the environment we deploy on is functionally the same to the environment our devs develop on

Because of the way Lemmy works, all content from federated instances is mirrored (minus images). So technically, all the piracy content also lives on lemmy.world, which makes them liable for it.

It wouldn't "look" any different

If you want the best UX and polish, Synology

If you want something rougher around the edges, QNAP

You can always look into building a solution with something like unraid, truenas, or OMV

The only implementation I would support is one where the asking website doesn't know your ID, and the verifying website doesn't know what you're trying to visit. Essentially just asking for a one-time use token that verified your age, and providing that token to the website you're trying to visit.

Edit for a bit more detail: User authenticates to ID website, which provides them a token with age verification (true/false) and a short (10 minute?) TTL. This token is encrypted by the ID website. User then provides this token to the asking website (eg: pornhub). Pornhub then sends the token back to the ID website to decrypt it. All pornhub knows about you is whether or not you're of age, and the verifying website never knows what the token is for.

You used to be just second person plural, thou was second person singular. At some point, thou fell out of favour and we started using just you

Piano Man by Billy Joel

The whole scene it sets, the mood, it's all just so human.

Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinking alone

I don't know if this will be helpful, but try Pedialyte popsicles? You can make them super easily in the freezer, and they work if you can't stomach liquids even.

Off the top of my head, I know Windows Update and the Battle.net launcher both do this

It's very rare to have a life without sex, so ¯\(ツ)/¯

I thought it was very tastefully done, and contributed to the plot

Try to at least get your vitamins and nutrients if you can't eat. If you can stomach drinking, try Pedialyte

I have pretty stupid ratios on some trackers without cheating.

I don't have a seedbox, but I do have a dedicated server in my basement on gigabit fibre with QBT running behind a VPN. My most used tracker has refundable torrents for all TV show seasons, so I seed those for 30 days and get insane free ratio. Other trackers frequently have 25-75% freeleech, and I try and configure Sonarr/Radarr to prioritize those torrents.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article

The whole point is that the token itself doesn't have any personal info attached to it, only a yes/no and expiry time.

I'll even one up my original suggestion - it uses standard public/private key encryption, where the government issues a simple json token with a yes/no Boolean and a TTL. The public key that can decrypt the tokens is public. Pornhub then decrypts the token and verifies the boolean and expiry date, all without talking to the government at all.

Because people use their computers for more than just gaming, and there are a lot of Macs out there. I have Steam installed on my MacBook, and I can't remember the last time I played a game on it.

Every time I drive by Laporte street in my neighborhood, I remember

Graphene OS is awesome. It's Android without Google - you can run all your apps, including Google ones, but have much more control over permissions.

The only reason I don't use it is because of how important contactless pay and android auto are for me.

I wish it was available in Canada. I already make myself a smoothie for lunch a few times a week, this would be great for when I'm too lazy to take the blender out

I'd feel worse if I couldn't eat cheese

Can't get much hotter than Karlach tbh

I'm not sure I entirely agree. The more popular your instance is, the more content you're likely to get on /all
