If not, it’s still possible to enforce right to repair; most of these arms are able to have 3D-printed components, saw a YouTube video on that.

Don’t let this timeline become Cyberpunk 2077. Please, just don’t.

Welcome to the Genetic Age. Hopefully someone’s researching the Ecotopian or Digital Democracy civics, it’s almost Turn 2025 AD for Sid Meier’s sake!

Yes, but for reasons I don’t remember at the moment, “444” is considered joyful laughter, not danger. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Anyone who loses a loved one to Dementia has my condolences. I count myself very lucky that it doesn’t run in either side of my family, the thought of my dad or mom being in mental anguish and confusion terrifies me.

Yes. Cute and it grows up to be fucking badass. Nice!

Yes, our honey-making insectoid foes! Use your worthy nemesishood to save these elephants from these barbaric warlords! Sting them!

In all seriousness, however they pulled this off, and partly due to my fear of bees and wasps, I approve. Elephants are not stupid, killing them for profit like these African warlords is cruel and said warlords don’t tend to care one bit about animals or people. Having something attack them that they can’t just shoot is going to be(e) a gamechanger.

I’m aware trophy hunting is a thing but I’m also aware they don’t just draw names from a hat. When African megafauna are chosen for trophy hunters, it’s almost always because they’re too aggressive to their other (endangered) peers to a lethal degree. Harvesting ivory enmasse to buy trafficked weapons is much, much more dark a shade of morality given they mostly tend to use the weapons on innocent people (usually impoverish natives) within Africa. Sadly, in Africa, being discriminated against for being dark-skinned does not seem to have always imparted the wisdom of “tolerance for everything but intolerance and causing harm”.

Too low density. Those buildings are mostly suburban one- or two-storey homes most likely, and much of what isn’t is not more than 4 floors and a lobby.

Not saying it’s a bad idea. I’m saying too much car-centric planning can permanently “lock-in” car-centric living by making it too expensive. Those assholes in the auto industry knew exactly what they were trapping society in.

Only because Trump and the GOP are in bed with the neo-liberals behind closed doors. This is one enemy: Rich assholes, regardless of their supposed political views.

That being said, there’s a big difference between “the bad president must die” and “kill all the rich people down to the last child”; nothing calls for a Holocaust, nothing. Please at least remember that when the concentration camps Trump is fucking preparing to make are ready, you CAN stop them from taking people by defending them, you CAN fight back, you CAN say “Fuck this, I will not let my country become Nazi Germany 2.0 when I have everything to lose.”

And tbh, I have nothing to lose and STILL would view that as all the more reason to die to protect everyone else from the Party for Leopards Eating People’s Faces because I didn’t want Trump back in and never would have voted for him (I’m not American though so I couldn’t) and even I didn’t think Project 2025 was real until the Repugnicans took their masks off surprisingly early. Nobody SHOULD have had to consider that info viable, it sounded like a ridiculous conspiracy theory and I cannot blame someone for voting for the Leopard party when the leopard party is named “free statehood party” instead and everyone they talk to believes that’s true.

Spreading false hope and “we should kill ourselves” are also very different. Guess which one people do when shitface gets elected? I’ll give you a hint: People need something to live for even if there is nothing to live for.

Well shit. That’s… That’s legit dangerous. Japan could honestly use an influx of elderly care workers, I hope they realize that before it’s too late. I know immigration isn’t any more popular in most countries than in the US, but that is scary.

I mean, I am terrified of wasps, but I recognize they’re a crucial part of the ecosystem and just don’t fuck with them. It’d be a phobia, except I don’t panic, I just gtfo if possible and freeze if I can’t. Wasps (at least here) don’t tend to chase things that react to them by increasing the distance between it and you.

That being said, big wasps in general are indeed jerks who will bite and sting you without mercy. Hornets? Yellowjackets? Tarantula Hawks? Ew. Small ones though? There’s these little guys I’ve seen all the time that I just assumed were small ants, turns out they’re (harmless) wasps that use their size to avoid detection and don’t even sting. Entomology is a lot like filling a Pokédex, the “common wisdom” (the descriptions) does not always match the in-the-field observations of scientific value (the actual creature that might help you).

Admittetly that’s the response I’d want to give too, just keep in mind wild animals tend to get very defensive around humans. I don’t doubt the wolf might take it the wrong way.

That being said, there was a news article about a successful rescue of a wolf stuck in river ice; they mistook it for a dog and brought it to a vet, honestly the wolf was (pun not intended) pretty chill since it knew it would have died there.

And of course, Canis lupus, Canis lupus familiaris. Can’t blame you for recognizing the fact that dogs are a subspecies of wolf. Orf, orf! :3

Thank you, this is legitimately useful to me and I am grateful!

I know it’s not my specialty, but isn’t an amp and a watt related? I’ve seen cables that conduct anywhere from 40w (Steam Deck) up to 240w (cables on Alibaba, but don’t expect a low price for them, and above 140w they’re much thicker than usual by design or you’re being scammed with false advertising).

I don’t need to be paid, I just don’t want corpos profiting off of my data for any reason, so robots.txt works fine for me. The reason that’s enough in my eyes is, I don’t hate capitalism nor am I an anarchist or tankie, this is about halting enshittification and for one other reason:

“AI is fundamentally about giving the wealthy access to skill while depriving the skilled of the means to access wealth.”

In short, eat the rich because they’ve ruined everything. They want capitalism? Then no more “laissez-faire” bullshit, you pay your fucking 90% tax on every dollar above 1 mil and shut it. Nobody needs 15 different colors of common Lamborghini and 1 Lambo out of less than 500. Nobody needs 5000 days of going to the mall to buy a dress every day. Nobody needs a personally-owned A380 private jet. Nobody needs 25%, 25 fucking percent, return on investment.

That also applies to the internet and tech companies as much as reality and banks. When I used Reddit, I never told them they could block access behind a paywall and they know it, and they also knew I can’t afford an international court case against an American tech giant. Now 90% of google is locked behind reddit, a company which shadow banned me well before the API issues.

As long as Reddit, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. can’t legally make free money off of this, I’m happy.

A famine in 1845 that was caused by…

“As someone who lived 5 years in ireland and saw the history its absolutely fucking horrible. If you think about it its kinda ironic. Uk occupies a country, controls everything there and commits a genocide. Israel is occupying a country, controls everything there and commits a genocide. By the way as a neurotypical who has autistic family members and friends, in this case what happened is that the irish potato famine got normalized over time but the genocide in gaza is a current event. Also the israel one is political. Third thing is most neurotypicals are pussies, if you spend time with neurodivergent people you realize that a lot of things they say are funny as fuck, even if its a bit raw sometimes.”

That was by Altoothbrush in this topic, if you didn’t see it.

I’m not Irish, nor do have an issue with Israelis. This whole issue just reeks of “casual dismissiveness” and I’m autistic myself so this hurts deep.

If Nintendo actually wins this, I will - as someone who grew up with Pokémon - destroy them as a company. I will slander them into submission if I have to, fuck them if I can’t even have a circus to go with my bread.

Resume? I’d have a lawyer on the phone. No money for a lawyer? Kill your boss and then yourself, fuck reality.

That’s not “a nightmare for autistic people”. He had every right to be angry about a famine and this was all just “submit to my authority” bullshit. I don’t care who you are descended from, that is not logical nor fair nor reasonable in any social setting. I literally would have just decked him in the face and stormed out because that’s the only scenario where OP is making it clear that authority does not equal privilege. Respect your employees.

Just FYI for anyone reading this, “SJW” stands for the “Sh.itJust.Works” instance of Lemmy that the Agora is part of, not “Social Justice Warrior” which was the first thing that came to my head. Hopefully this prevents some misunderstandings. You’re welcome!
