Capitalism

This. Exactly this. Thank you.

The author is not in favor of DRM or age verification on linux. They are simply pointing out the implications of the proposed exemptions. The real problem is that these sort of invasions of privacy are being considered AT ALL. Nomatter how they are implemented, they will be horrible for everyone except big brother.

This is a meme community. You will probably have better luck at asklemmy or one of the other advice communities.

That being said, I highly doubt that consuming royal honey will affect your sex life. This reeks of snake oil.

But it’s obviously a joke. (at least to me)

That means that the text in no way represents anyone’s opinion, it’s sole purpose is entertainment. If anything, it’s a jab at the people that claim to do things because of the idiotic and meaningless “alpha” label, not an endorsement of sloth.

I believe this is what the old folks refer to as a “joke”.

It is an ancient form of communication, the goal of which is to induce laughter in the recipients. Factual accuracy is often not a concern, and in fact many jokes lack peer review of any kind.

I agree, it was almost like reading an onion or postillion article. So surreal.

Chimpanzees are considerably better than us at short-term memory.

No, it’s fedora.

Hot take: this article is capitalist propaganda. “owning a giant company is better than being a wareslave” No shit, sherlock.

I’m not deaf, but just in case you don’t get an answer that stems from personal experience:

Your hearing loss in the one ear is (I’m assuming) caused by the ear canal being blocked. Your sensory organ still hears you chewing because the sound is transferred through the bones of your skull to your ear.

A deaf person has a different problem: their sensory organ is damaged or missing, so it doesn’t matter where the sound comes from, they don’t hear it.

By all psychologists?

I agree that there is some stupid stuff being done in the name of science, 100%. But the discipline isn’t really the deciding factor imho.

If you are interested, here is sabine explaining how academic is fundamentally broken.

The cannabis plant when left to itself doesn’t create much THC (which is what gets you high), but it is very useful for making rope and clothing, as well as oil and other products. Only when you make sure that you only have female plants (and take care of them in a certain way) do they produce lots of THC.

So just because the plant is growing somewhere doesn’t mean that someone is smoking it.

Absolutely, yes.

The scientific method is an empirical method for acquiring knowledge through careful observation, rigorous skepticism, hypothesis testing, and experimental validation.

Any observable phenomenon should be studied using the scientific method. The alternatives are superstition or ignorance.

Psychology is a good example. It has been limited by our technology and our morals. The human brain is extremely complicated, and we cannot just disrupt peoples lives to create ideal testing conditions. But that doesn’t mean that psychology is not science. It just means that it has unique challenges.

That’s a good point.

I agree that that solves some problems, 100%. But I’ve seen the downward slide of society take hard-fought civil rights away for several decades now. It’s never a sudden process, it always starts small and then slowly grows.

This is just the beginning, and it should be fought against with tooth and nail now, not just postponed so that we have to deal with this issue once the fascists already have some momentum.

That does nothing to address the issue. What happens when the requirement is adopted elsewhere? Just keep excluding territories?

It seems like a simple fix, but this would play right into the hands of the corporate overlords. And California is not some tiny state.

If California were an independent nation, it would rank as the fourth largest economy in the world in nominal terms, behind Germany and ahead of Japan.

Thanks for sharing. I’m too paranoid, as I have very little free time to fix stuff if it breaks. Still good to know.

Yes, that’s exactly how RPM works. it’s supposed to be a last resort if options like distrobox or homebrew can’t deliver what you need. It can break stuff if you are not careful.

Anyway, then I’d definitely go with silverblue.
