  1. I don't intend to victim blame or defend any abusers here; this shit is vile and should not be tolerated, period.

  2. From the below, it sounds like it was determined that, despite Omegle's moderation efforts, Omegle could have done better in areas relating to age verification and matchmaking. So I'm not trying to defend or minimize Omegle's role either, I don't know the details of how the site worked but it sounds like this was a problem for a long time:

the judge in A.M.’s case found last July that Omegle’s design was at fault and it was not protected by Section 230: It could have worked to prevent matches between minors and adults before sexual content was even sent, the judge said.

  1. However, I really don't like the choice of phrasing "forced", and I wonder whether that's poor paraphrasing or actually taken from the lawsuit.

Her lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleged that she met a man in his thirties on Omegle who forced her to take naked photos and videos over a three-year period. She was just 11 when it began in 2014.

Again, to be clear, not trying to say that the victim should, or even could, have done anything differently. Victim blaming is bad. But how the hell are they saying "forced" to do something by some scumbag over the internet? What kind of conditions does a kid have to be in at home to feel like they can't turn to their parent/guardian for help in a terrifying situation like that? How is an 11-year-old in 2014 being allowed to get into that situation in the first place, between her parents and her school?

It seems like this victim was failed by every support system she should have been able to rely on. This is so messed up. This is exactly why we need things like sex education and Internet safety education.

According to the DOJ, Google destroyed potentially hundreds of thousands of chat sessions not just during their investigation but also during litigation. Google only stopped the practice after the DOJ discovered the policy.

Definitely looks unsafe to me.

Agreed. I think the environmental impact is much lower as well, which is basically a win/win if prices can compete with farmed animals.

The time to advance your ideas is everywhen except the presidential election, basically. At this timing, voting your conscience will really only be contributing to the spoiler effect.

If you're providing it to only some people, it's not very universal now is it

!unpopularopinion is that way (edit: I still don't know how to link communities, whee)

In the alternative, you really need to come up with some better things to think about in the shower

It's not specifically an April Fool's Day joke. It's a satire site.

I mean this as nicely as possible but if the difference between 30fps tops and steady 60 isn't obvious to you, you're either ignorant of what you're missing, or you're too casual for it to matter

for extra effect, I recommend reading through the opinion first before imagining. The high quality of the writing really accentuates the ludicrous degree of clown shit on display from the GOP.

I'm sorry, that is a ridiculous statement, but I'm not awake enough to go into it in detail. Hoping someone else can help if you were being sincere.

Early contender for the "Dumbest Lemmy Comment of 2024" award. Congratulations.

Multi-billion-dollar corporations do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Companies do not act morally unless they are legally compelled to.

I feel like anyone who envies an advertising business should probably be avoided, lol

I'm glad it seems to be limited to their weird DocuSign knockoff, which I never had cause to use.

I love this because what if actually? What if there's literally a buzzfeed tier list of five things to do we're missing for a utopian society? And mankind fucked it like we always do.

It looks like their May 16th tweet stated source code would be made available to developers, and they are clearing up some ambiguity in this new one.

"What do you tell someone to type when you want them to send you an email?" should work if the person has irl or phone social connections, which is still the case for a lot of older folks

Thanks for confirming I won't be having any original thoughts today :D

It's incredibly important to never cut corners here. You can easily get a severe infection you may not come back from.

lol, cute use of ね

Your comment read to me as a sarcastic tone making fun of Ukraine for celebrating recapturing the territory.

And it goes without saying that the opposing force of the conflict would not need to be informed of the happenings... So, there you have at least a small fraction of the reasoning

have you tried plain soda water? the carbonation might make it interesting enough to be drinkable even though it's flavorless. if you get a drinkmate or something like that it's fairly cheap to make at home

It won't happen, but imagine how satisfying it would be if TikTok was the domino that led to Citizens United being overturned

Nah, that's baby evolution!

My comment didn't mention resolution or quality of graphics at all. I'm only talking about framerate, which has a major impact on how responsive and fluid the controls feel. All else being equal, a higher framerate typically just feels nicer to play. Compare Super Mario 64 (30fps) to Super Smash Bros. (60fps).

On Windows, right-click Properties on any image file and use "Remove Properties and Personal Information" in the Details tab.

Not the person you were replying to, but it seems most likely it was a typo for 'pain'

For the sake of this wild fantasy, yeah. I'm not gonna be too picky

Who's to say commandment #11 wasn't "lmao jk ok but for real just these four things:"

Tons of obvious scam storefronts in the shopping results lately, too. (I mainly use it to compare prices and to try to find things that might be in local stores near me.)

Separately, I wonder how significant the extra bandwidth costs will be on the overall expenses of running the service

You're either trolling or too stubborn to evaluate new information that might change your position.

Medicare For All is not free healthcare, as in on the government's dime, it is entirely paid for by taxes. (Unless you actually object to free healthcare as in being able to go to the hospital when you need it for free, which is too ludicrous to be sincere.) The only reason it seems "free" is that the total operating cost of the system without the middleman of private insurance is significantly lower than our existing healthcare spending.

Most households would significantly increase their spending power throughout the year by eliminating healthcare premiums, deductibles, copays, and prescription costs in excess of $200 a year, and would only see a smaller increase at tax time. Those who would be paying more in total are very wealthy households who would be paying primarily at tax time, and frankly many of those households have not been paying their fair share of taxes already, so I find it hard to see that as a bad thing.

Yeah Domino's is one of those places that the price with a coupon, is the regular price. And the food's not terribly worth it even then IMO.

It's capable. The reach of the platforms is enough. They're just not interested in doing so (sometimes because they are involved in pushing the misinfo to begin with)

the trump clap sounds like an uber-STI and thanks I hate it
