Alberta woman dies after being denied transplant for refusing to get COVID vaccine

Reply in thread

Perhaps, now that the vaccine has been around for years and there's plenty of data on its efficacy and risks, you might cite some of those risks? Because the data I've seen shows that infection is still much worse for your health than vaccination, regardless of whether or not you are "young and healthier." I would be very interested to see what data you have that shows otherwise. I quite like being proven wrong.

Inzoi's launch is going better than I expected with 'very positive' reviews and 87,000 concurrent players and everyone is almost being normal about it

Per Steam page:

AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Players can generate unique textures for character outfits and various items based on text input. They can also create 3D objects from image input, which can be used as interior decorations or accessories, and add distinctive motions to their Zoi using video input. Additionally, the actions and thoughts of Zois are controlled through sLM technology, enabling more engaging and intuitive interactions.

Antony Starr had to knock down 'The Boys' fans glorifying Homelander: 'This guy is not the hero'

Reply in thread

I don't agree that just not making these kinds of shows is somehow the solution. How is not having a conversation about such a character at all a net improvement?

It's not the fault of the show, which has done everything it can to depict Homelander in the worst light, if certain people deliberately ignore or misconstrue the narrative because the character validates their awful world view. To say that is to say that humans cannot be trusted with the privilege of thought.

The sort of people who romanticize Homelander would still be there without him, and would pick other characters from history or fiction to idolize instead (if they don't already idolize those characters in addition to him.) This only reveals a societal issue that we've known about for roughly a century, now.

I don't think you even read the summary in the OP that describes exactly what this feature does. This is a feature for users for their owned devices. You can remotely install apps already. Now you can do the opposite.

The mud would instead form a solid layer on the windows, completely obstructing vision. I don't think wipers would survive close range mud bombardment either.

So they should buy a generic brand bottle that's unbranded instead? Because that's more personality?

On any good bottle you have room for stickers if you truly feel the need to express yourself through your water storage container of choice. This one too.

Google Chrome’s uBlock Origin phaseout has begun

I installed Brave earlier this week and that's mostly true. There's some built in stuff that will show by default, notably the toolbar buttons and the notification style alert on the new tab page for one of those things mentioned, but you can just close the notification and remove the toolbar buttons and you're set.

That said, I think it's still in the data monetization market like Alphabet with anonymized tokens, though I don't remember the details.

This happened to me at least 3 times.

I had really bad performance with an nvidia GPU in VR in Linux, once, and all I could find that described the same specific issue I had was a steam community discussion post by someone who claimed that the steam vr compositor was just bugged, and no less that it was a bug regression, and there was nothing to do but wait for Valve to fix it. I think the post was already a year old when I found it.

I haven't tried it again, yet, but I've also moved to arch with Wayland since then. And the nvidia drivers did become much more reliable for me, so maybe it will magically work out of the box this time... Or maybe it won't, and I'll just end up wasting hours trying to find a solution while wading through AI polluted Google searches again before giving up.
