lmao this is too good, I would laugh but I'll be too busy (because I'll be meeting a girl, not that you are really going to understand)

Texas SCOPE act takes effect Sunday. How does Lemmy comply?
Why should it affect LW or any other (non-Texan) instance? Any rogue country with populists at the head can implement any arbitrary legislation. That does not affect Lemmy instances hosted in countries with reasonable governments. If Texas wants to enforce their rules (or punish for non-compliance), it is on them to approach instance admins or block the site in their corner of the global internet.

Logging into a non-indexible proprietary service just to be able to read the documentation definitely does not contribute to accessibility.

Amongst all this AI hype of the past few years, nobody talks about that it's finally feasible to create an MS Clippy that works.
People did talk about that though. There were so many allusions to Clippy when Copilot was launched, and even before that.

Street racers are not criminals
"Street racers" are some of the worst people to exist. They have no empathy and regard for the lives and well-being of other people. Most of the time, their fatal accidents kill entirely unrelated people (including children!) that were just going about their business. Having "street racing" as your "hobby" is the ultimate display of unlimited egoism; you do not care at all about the actual humans you kill through your actions and the decades of connections you sever and memories you eradicate. And defending this abhorrent practice is almost as shameful as participating in it.

I hope that this demonstrates to people that the oppressive reddit behaviour is not confined to special individuals (such running major social media sites), but is a systematic occurance in online forums. Simply switching from one toxically moderated space to another is not a solution. But this is where the strength of ActivityPub/fediverse lies: we are able to leave for another server while still using the same fundamental service and being able to interact with the same content as before. I would recommend startrek.website as a new or second home for those who wish to migrate.

Biden calls for 'immediate ceasefire' in Gaza
Too little, too late. Military intervention or nothing, Israel and Gaza need to be taken in by UN peacekeeping forces and a new dialogue needs to be started about how to find a permanent solution for the coexistence of Palestinians and Israelis. If the need exists, maybe even deconstruct the current Israel to make way for a more tolerant and democratic nation that respects people of all origin.

This is so stupid. He's not a pedo, the things he said were taken out of context (they were bad, but not that bad), and he has long apologised for his comments. People like you that are trying to smear his reputation without any regard for facts, cautiousness and ambivalence are so irrational that it almost appears as if you are getting paid for it.

Why is pure oxygen called O2 when oxygen is an element?
Because O is not naturally accuring and only exists under extremely special conditions, so virtually all pure oxygen appears as molecular oxygen O2.

It’s an Absolutely Terrifying Night in Gaza Right Now
Reply in thread
What you are getting wrong is that they ARE "glassing" the entirety of Gaza, with almost no restraint. That is not excusable, no matter which enemy you are fighting. The thing is, they won't be able to kill Hamas either way, it's only a choice between less Palestinian civilian casualties and more of them

Estonia | The Digital State
As long as this digital infrastructure is developed by the administration itself, I find the idea of a digital bureaucracy great. But relying on proprietary products would undermine its purpose, imho.

Yep. They tried desperately to build up an IT economy and for that wanted to appease all the tech companies.

This is literally not a problem with smartphones, the problem is about the software you decide to run on it. A smartphone is simply a very powerful pocket computer.

They knew of the product, but were not informed when it was released. The title of the article is a little misleading.
