If you read the article, it’s more of an “it depends” answer.

Most phones have safety mechanisms built in to them to protect from things like overcharging or overheating during fast charging. They will also default to a low power charging state if it doesn’t detect the correct signal from the charger.

There is a very rare possibility that a charger may not be grounded correctly and that’s why it’s recommended to stick with big brands if you’re going with a 3rd party charger.

Must be a client issue, I’m using Voyager. Thanks for pointing that out!

I wish that spoilers actually blurred the image on Lemmy…

I initially think this same thing every time I see someone mention MTG on here, glad I’m not the only one.

What do you mean by outdated? Most captchas are there to help them train their next ML model. Relevant xkcd:

This sounds more useful to apply to specific, small portions of the sand, rather than applying it to an entire coastline.

“We can use it to strengthen the seabed beneath sea walls, stabilize sand dunes and retain unstable soil slopes. We could also use it to strengthen protection structures, marine foundations and so many other things. There are many ways to apply this to protect coastal areas.”

If only they had published all of their null results…

A fun Easter egg on Chromium browsers is that, when you get to 100 tabs, the number just turns into a smiley face.

You’re not going to find everything you want outside of YouTube just yet. But apps like GrayJay make it a lot easier to start transitioning to other platforms.

It combines most all of the video sharing platforms in one. From there you can start following creators if they have their channel setup on different platforms while still being able to keep your main home feed coming from YouTube if you wanted to.

What petition? The article didn’t mention any, and I haven’t seen anything about a petition posted in here…

A quick Google search doesn’t reveal anything either.

Shunning modders simply for signing a petition seems like a major overreaction. Most people signing a petition don’t really read the contents. They usually just go for the quick explanation which was probably sold to them as something like, “sign this petition to ask Larian Studios to better support mods/Script Extender”.

I do feel that modders need to chill out and accept that major changes to the codebase are still happening and that will cause conflicts with mods. It’s great that Larian Studios has expressed their willingness to support mods in the future. I think that’s certainly enough for me.

Unfortunately I think that ship has sailed.

The meaning of AI has changed drastically within the past 10 years or so.

Back then ‘AI’ was a term reserved for Artificially Intelligent beings like Skynet, HAL, the machines from The Matrix, etc.

Today AI has been watered down to the point that we need to specify what kind of AI we’re referring to.

I’m not sure there’s a way to stop that unless you unleash a swarm of very convincing social media accounts across the internet all run by LLMs with the goal of correcting our current course… that or put them to work writing news articles like this one.

That’s pretty messed up if there isn’t a valid way to disclose it on the official paperwork.

One of the legitimate reasons I can see for this law would be cases where someone changed their name to be similar, or the same, as someone else who is much more likely to win.

So if someone changed their name to Joe Biden recently, I would absolutely want it disclosed that they had done so.

Thanks for pointing this out. Here’s an alternative site covering this (the only one that showed up on a quick ground.news search):

More paperwork to make cops jobs even harder. Will not help with public safety at all.

Sure, and by that logic, we may as well remove other restrictions. Why have warrants? It just makes their job harder and doesn’t help with public safety at all. /s

The whole point of this is that cops have been given a lot of power. We need to have restrictions in place to protect civilians from power tripping cops as well. This doesn’t restrict them from saying hello, but it does hold them accountable for escalating any minor encounter into an investigation.

Gotta love how they right their terms of service, for both the game and the music/audio file download rewards.

And the 17th as well (for now).

It’s true that there isn’t evidence that he sold anything, but let’s look at what we do know:

The whereabouts of the binder are currently unknown as it went missing during the last days of Trump’s presidency, Reuters’ source said.

The info in the binder:

The binder in question contained raw intelligence that the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies collected on Russia’s alleged election interference in 2016, when Trump beat his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for the presidency, among other documents, according to Reuters who spoke with a source familiar with the matter.

Trump would be very high on that suspect list although, in my mind, the likely conclusion of him taking it is that those documents were destroyed rather than sold.

I would counter that, given the timeline and information, it’s unlikely that anyone else would want to take those documents.

Some key info here:

The whereabouts of the binder are currently unknown as it went missing during the last days of Trump’s presidency, Reuters’ source said.

If he sold it during his presidency, that would have been legal since he had the power to do that at the time.

If he sold it after, he should be locked up since he no longer had the authority to pass on that info.

Most likely I think he just took the documents and burned it since it contains information that the U.S. and “(NATO) allies collected on Russia’s alleged election interference in 2016, when Trump beat his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for the presidency, among other documents.”

Right, what I mean by “based on the lifespan of the people” would be more of a percentage… not the full expected average lifespan.

So, for example, it could be 80% of the average life expectancy in the U.S. which looks to be around 76, so that would put the cap around 61.

But perhaps we could base it on studies of cognitive decline instead. If some future medicine is discovered (that most people have access to) which would allow everyone to continue functioning well at an older age, then I don’t have a problem if the average person is still doing well at an older age. In this case we could use some percentage of the average age of cognitive decline instead.

I was hoping for an actual discussion rather than a link to a 20 min video like that.

That 20 min video was all “capitalism is bad” and only for a few seconds near the end where he proposes “Communist Realism” without even attempting to explain what it is or compare any sort of pros and cons.

So to summarize the video for anyone else who doesn’t want to waste their time (in the context of the questions I proposed):

What economic system would you recommend beyond capitalism?

Video: “Communist Realism, buy my book”

Are there any large countries that have successfully implemented this?

Video: “No, they weren’t given a chance because capitalist countries overthrew them in one way or another.”

Perhaps a better discussion would be over what the best mixture is rather than the simple: “Capitalism/Socialism is bad” that people seem to argue so much over.

The video didn’t really address this other than:
Video: “Capitalism bad, people are stuck thinking there’s nothing else”…
