- hinata08I particular when every American blockbuster and TV show needs more girls with generous breasts and love scenes than actual plot and actors, but plain clothed girls holding hands online is nudity.
- I just saw grokpedia results, which include a gay-free description of gay novels (Banana Fish) and forged or curated accounts of war on Iraq, Thatcher and Duterte.
So yeah, reality is liberal nowadays
- The internet : sees thoughts challenging facts
Someone : “Sucks to see how many people take everything they see online for face value,” one Proven employee wrote. “Sounds like a bunch of liberals lol.”
The company : Proven also had its lawyers file “multiple” DMCA takedown notices against the McNally video, claiming that its use of Proven’s promo video was copyright infringement.
When did facts and enlightenment started to be for "liberals lol" ?
Freedom of speech based on facts should be universal.
- I'm speechless and dumbfounded sometimes
We need to speech a business of having pressurised high tech greenhouses to grow healthy and taste-neutral "golden apples" in otherwise bare land, to sell that as much as you can to anyone who doesn't know what to cook. I'm sure we could get VC to invest
- I'm wondering a lot about the value of food and agricultural products in a consumerist society these days
Just a few days ago, in a TV show about the car industry in France, a car dealer was mocking the rednecks who came to buy new cars despite eating wholefood.
Now this article describes how social media find wholefood can be a cheaper alternative to Ozempic for weight loss, when you are otherwise healthy and don't need it as a prescription.
A nutritionist finds that YES IT IS and his peers have been telling that for decades.
I love that part in particular :
``` Ultimately, a diet that encourages natural production of GLP-1 diet is full of whole foods, including fruit, vegetables, legumes and nuts, says Damman. That people could be discovering this by attempting to mimic the effects of weight-loss drugs is an irony not lost on some nutritional scientists, including Damman.
"The journey has come full-circle," he says. "All roads lead back to eating whole foods – there's no substitute for them." ```
Why do people consume and eat according to their income, instead of caring about their health ? Do they think high income earners are a different bread ?
- when you try to connect to some commercial streaming websites in France, you already have to upload your ID, film yourself with your camera, and enable biometrics, as the government forced them to do that "to protect children" (even as they're in the middle of a scandal about silencing children when things went south in some institutions up to 20 years ago).
last time I checked, China didn't force users to give in their IDs and turn on webcams to authenticate themselves on the internet. France does.
dystopia is never far away in France, and ppl always agree
- > supports mass surveillance and is willing to give up on democracy "against child abuse"
> supports whoever does war everywhere around the world, by selling weapons to one side, gas to the other side, or saying some side is just defending themselves and should continue to do whatever
We have two conclusions two this :
EU supports children*
*unless they come from Yemen, Gaza, Ukraine, or are somehow on the Mediterranean Sea (then they're on their own. If they die, that would do fewer migrants)
And EU is scanning that you have compliant views on the world events.
I can totally see that if you're not a journalist who documents war abuses, and if children were involved in these, you'll have evidence of "child abuse" and you're going to get reported.
Sorry to get political for once. But we have never ever done a single thing for children (EU was just a business club, nothing more):
They let known paedophiles continue to work in schools, they just change their jobs.
Some "mandatory" sexual education was defined at the European level. It was aimed to teach children about themselves, and how to recognize, refuse, and report abuse within their families. But it's often just skipped in schools because "budgets" and "planning".
And unless your local government (usually the city) pays for activities and clubs for children, they're just left to grow on their own : if they're in a city with drugs, they're usually raised by the cartels. EU won't set up activities.
But if it's about scanning everyone's phone, then they say they need to act for the children.
- There was a story like that a few years ago.
An ATR42 on a commercial flight had to interrupt it take off above V1=VR, after the plane failed to rotate.
Pilot suspected bad weather.
BEA concluded to rugby team on board.
They then made recommendations about how to sit these guests. It's only in French, unfortunately https://bea.aero/les-enquetes/evenements-notifies/detail/acc...
- France as well
I believe that it's mostly the English speaking world that is strict with having "first name" first and "last name" last.
It's not an Asian cultural feature to have family name first, but it's an English speaking thing to have it last.
OP isn't trying to use his software in Asia specifically. He's just adapting to non US market.
- yes, and they're fighting against what made their products popular in the first place.
bikes work because they are cheap, and you could change any part with a standardised spare in under 30 minutes and keep going.
Nowadays for ebikes ? brands like Shimano have "generations" of motors, each going with specific batteries (with baka yoke features and no other engineering), crankset, tooling, and accessories, so that you have to buy a whole new bike for every defect when they stop making parts.
I won't be getting a new ebike, I'll convert a conventional bike next time.
This industry is shooting themselves in the foot for short term profits.
- I wish Verisign could run their services properly, instead of just making business by hiking the .com and others (while wages of engineers is actually plummeting).
Do they just focus on cash cows, or do they have other products in store nowadays ?
- they usually do
but for unknown reasons, the passengers refused to glide and decided to plunge the plane to wilfully die.
now, since they wilfully died, there is no reason to trigger further investigations.
And supreme leader Putin will seek damages from the families of the passengers, as they destroyed his plane.
- nah
We can take bets, but I guess a spark plug must have gone jammed after clogs weren't oiled, so the diesel wouldn't ignited and the plane crashed.
indeed, the mechanics was on vacation in the UK to check out cathedrals in small towns.
These plane things are terribly unreliable.
- Putin has the sense of drama.
He's the mafia boss but with the actual nation state resources. (we can thank him for not spreading polonium across all of London this time)
Whether the information is confirmed or not, it's honestly scary. He Protec but He Also Attac, and he never forgets.
- Matrix isn't better than Discord on that aspect.
There are the anime communities already, so it's not just about projects.
Also, on Discord, you can have pretty serious discussions and organise your projects. But it's never done in #general : you need to create specific rooms where users focus.
The shoutout function is at the heart of the group on Discord.
But Discord won users in the first place by allowing them to create rooms and organize discussions. It was meant to run projects (if you consider a RPG is a project, but whatever, as long as it works)
- the aforementioned feedback, that had close to 250 upvotes and stayed active for 3-4 years, actually never got a reply from Discord. It's in the 90 most upvoted stories, and in the 50 most commented stories of all times under Account & Server Management. And overall, only 15 of the 120 most upvoted stories on this board got a reply from Discord (including the 8 that were completed).
(the top story is even funnier, as Discord didn't even reply to it, but comments were closed because there were too many.)
When the board about yubikey was the most active, Discord maybe somehow replied to it by doing the opposite. Instead of increasing their security as users asked, they decided they would fancy lowering it and introduced QR codes, because services are no fun if they don't experience of wave of hacks.
And now, they're not referring to anything from the past, but are cluelessly posting generic talk and external links on a blog post.
Also, as throwaway1777 mentioned, hardware tokens for staff is definitely something that had to be done before the second half of the last decade. It's the standard in any company I work with nowadays.
So, IMO, OP's blog post doesn't show how Discord is being innovative, it's just a statement of "sorry, we're catching up on security" and "was this a topic before ?"
Thanks for the reply, anyway.
- > And, if you’re somebody who has a product that could support WebAuthn and/or passkeys better: please do! (we might even be building/planning this ourselves )!
It's ironic, as users have been requesting that feature for years, and discord has been pushing back the whole time.
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/3600313...
Instead, they did the infamous qr code, the new font, the new id that's often similar to the old one but without the #, and the like.
The overly popular support page isn't even cited or mentioned in the article !
I can't understand the disconnect between the teams at discord and the users.
For me, the teams are doing this blog post like they had the idea first because they're the best (when they have actually pushed back for so long).
And not even acknowledging users is just disrespectful. It shows that Discord only involves them in the payment process, and ignore their suggestions whether they're good or bad (because they come from the users).
At the same time, for any change, they post they're visionaries. And I'm sure their CVs go on about how they disrupted their workplace. (while they really did push back on this feature)
- >we will just have robocalls being routed through simboxes filled with prepaid SIM cards.
it would cost a lot of money, especially if carriers limit the number of numbers you can call each month before an additional charge (100-200 numbers / month then extra fee ?)
> You can get local phone numbers for a trivial amount of money
and companies that provides phone numbers them can also monitor suspicious traffic.
I remember that when I first opened an account at Callcentric, they froze it until their support could reach me to ask a few questions.
Now, I've had it for a few year, did just a few calls, and I no longer have to go through that to subscribe to more services.
On a slightly different topic, cloud providers have learned to keep their IPs clean, even if you can get some for cheap. They just check what you're doing.
So it can be done !
