Unfortunately fascist spaces will exist and cannot be prevented because of the core nature of Lemmy/fediverse architecture. Anyone can start their own instance and post whatever they want.

However, if the main popular instances defederate with them, then most users won't have to see those posts.

Muslims say that music is Haram because it is said so in Hadith, does that make music objectively wrong?

That is the exact opposite of what the above comment said. An objective view of morality would say that the "rightness" or "wrongness" of the act of making music is an objective truth. If music is "right", then music is right, regardless of what Muslims or any other people say, and vice versa.

It means you can't come to a correct moral judgement just by taking a poll of the people around you.

I haven't used an app for reddit since Alien Blue. I was just on the mobile website. I can still understand the problem with what they're doing. I don't know why so many people can't understand a problem unless it affects them personally.

I have definitely seen studies saying that people who play video games are better surgeons. Surgeons who don't play video games take longer to develop their fine motor coordination to the same level of competence.

I think the raw oils are not that bad (maybe in quantity it becomes an issue). Coconut oil I know is saturated fat, so that can be bad for your heart.

I think the bigger issue is how they are used in processed food. Just about every processed food has "partially hydrogenated soybean oil" or something like that, which is basically the worst possible thing for cholesterol.

It's the same with how everyone started using Crisco because lard was thought to be unhealthy. It turns out heavily processed vegetable oils are worse.

And the income gap is caused in part by the education gap which is caused by the housing gap because schools are funded by property taxes.

There are a lot of systems that need to be fixed.

That's the next step. Once we agree that someone is right and someone is wrong, then we can start talking about the definition of "moral good". And that is a very difficult and complicated discussion. But just because it's hard to define doesn't necessarily mean it's not real.

It matters to them, so I guess you are not the type of user they want. It's annoying, but if they want their server to be more exclusive, they can do that. It is the beauty and the pain of federation.

Shown Furcotte taking it up the ice.

He passes to McSriff.

Oh, a big hit by Bobson Dugnutt! He collects the puck and sends it on to Dandleton.

Dandleton now with the puck. Across to Sweeney - But it's picked off by Smorin!

He finds Noginly on the breakaway! Noginly - He Scores!

Noginly hits the brakes at the last second to slip it past the bumper of goaltender Mike Truk!
And the Jonsonbill Nailers take a 2-1 lead, with 3 minutes remaining in the second period.

To add a bit more about Shadow Tactics, it is a top-down 3D game where you control a crew of characters with different abilities (ninja, samurai, sharpshooter, etc.)

It is real time but you can plan actions to happen simultaneously, so it feels really cool to solve the stealth puzzles by combining the characters' different abilities.

Also good atmosphere, voices, story, etc. Just a very good game.

What's not clear to me is whether these edits will be passed on to future generations of trees. I think that's usually not the case with CRISPR, but this article is talking about "breeding", so maybe it is the case here. The phrase "building a better forest" is particularly disturbing as well.

My concern here is basically that we don't want to be replacing wild forests with genetically engineered monoculture. Replacing millions of years of evolution and biodiversity with 1 or 2 "optimal" genetic lines leaves the population vulnerable to things like disease and environmental changes. A diverse population is much more resilient against these dangers, since the differences in individuals may allow some to survive where others couldn't.

So as long as the usage is limited to specific tree farms, it's probably no worse than other modern agricultural practices. I just hope they don't want to replace wild forests with CRISPR trees.

Another solution then: automatically download/cache a user's most frequently played tracks. I know downloading is a premium feature or whatever but they should consider it if it would save them money.
