The point of verification photos is to ensure that nsfw subreddits are only posting with consent. Many posts were just random nudes someone found, in which the subject was not ok with having them posted.

The verification photos show an intention to upload to the sub. A former partner wanting to upload revenge porn would not have access to a verification photo. They often require the paper be crumpled to make it infeasible to photoshop.

If an AI can generate a photorealistic verification picture, it cannot be used to verify anything.

Imagine designing a bicycle without triangles. Every joint needs to be overbuilt, because there's no structure from the geometry. But you make sure it still has a top tube, so its just as hard to mount and dismount as a normal bike. Incredible!

Whatever Tiktok is doing, the correct response is to write enforcable laws to prevent ANY company from doing what Tiktok is doing.

This is bad governance.

So maths time...

If that cart is a weeks of groceries, it takes 1250 weeks of groceries to buy a house in 1980.

According to a 2024 USA today article the average family with kids spends $331 per week on groceries.

If the groceries per house ratio stayed the same, a house would be $413,750 in 2024.

The U.S. median home price was $412,000 in September 2023, according to Redfin.

I dunno seems pretty proportionate.

If ur 30+ you can have romantic moments with women, which is nice.

If enforcement of federal laws does not cause a "material adverse impact" the penalty is far too low.

American sign language is not a gesture based form of English. It is an entire language in its own right, with its own distinct grammar and vocabulary.

To someone deaf from birth, sign language is their native language. And it is much more comfortable to quickly read your native language than a second language.

whether a game is "dead" or not only really matters for online games with matchmaking. If a game requires a large playerbase to function, like an MMO or a matchmaking based competitive game, the game can die. This doesn't apply to single player or small scale coop games.

Anyone will get the full single player game experience even if they are the only one playing. If the game has multiplayer, like coop or vs play where the expectation is that you will find the person who you will play with, the game cannot die.

Calling palworld a dead game is just as nonsensical as calling starfield dead because of a lower playercount. It literally doesn't matter for this kind of game.

The issue is not that the parts aren't titanium, its that there isn't a paper trail documenting the titanium.

This is an issue, because improperly forged titanium can have issues that makes it unsuitably weak for its intended purpose. Having documentation showing where the materials came from, when it was inspected for defects and when it was manufactured is critical for safety.

United flight 232 had an engine explode in part due to defective titanium. This is a real safety concern.

Though the headline says boeing, the article mentions these undocumented parts being found in airbus planes as well. Its an industry problem, not a Boeing specific one.

google's android camera app is designed to open google's gallery app. Google built an OS that has support for user selected app launching. They built a system that lets an app request the user's preferred gallery app to view photos, but then chose to not use it to force anyone using google's camera to also use their photos app. fuck google

Strange way to frame it. It sounds to me like businesses are saving $800 billion in unnessicary expenses.

Tim Cain worked on the original fallouts, fallout 1 and 2. He has not been credited in the series since. The fallout series has passed through the hands of many others, who may have included a critique of capitalism as a theme.

If you're interested in Tim Cain's ideas on capitalism, he was the director of the outer worlds, which is far more focused on capitalism much more directly than fallout ever was.

The olympics let literal nazis host the games, this is entirely on brand for them.

Did they charge any of them with a crime for not paying taxes, or did they just let them pay without penalty?

The ship was denied because there were stink bugs on the ship. Australian biosecurity laws are very strong.

You can use electric mowers. They solve the belching fumes problem and nothing else.

Cereal is expensive. This is bad advice even without considering the conflict of interest or the fact this man is a tool.

AM is used for traffic advisory and weather conditions by state dots. A car without an AM radio cannot receive those safety critical broadcasts. An AM radio should be required equipment on every vehicle.

Holy shit. I thought being trans only gave you an air dash.

Unless you are capable of violence you cannot be peaceful, only harmless.
