Reminder that Asimov devised the 3 laws then devoted multiple novels to showing how easily they could be circumvented.

Interesting word choice. China wants to “dominate”, the US wants to “lead”.

The “app” is just a frontend, a thin venier over a cloud-hosted service that doesn’t even know anon “deleted” it. Functionally, the same result could be achieved by not opening the app for a few days.

How much you wanna bet the “dev” doesn’t realise chromium is a dependency, in this scenario?

Passkeys might really kill passwords (www.theverge.com)

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use...

Until someone can explain to me how I can transfer, manage and control my passkeys without syncing them to some hostile corporation’s cloud infrastructure, passkeys will remain a super hard sell for me.

When they stop being huge fucking problems, we’ll stop making fun of you for them :P

I dunno what you guys are doing that makes your nextcloud die without touching it. Mine runs happily until I decide to update it, and that usually goes fine, too. I don’t use docker for it, tho.

Ah, I can see how this could happen. Each time you log on you get a different VM and EA didn’t think about that before tossing the game up on geforce now (assuming that’s how it works; never used the service. If you installed the game yourself then I guess it sucks that’s how their DRM works).

Sounds like he’s hoping thugs will show up and scare some people into not voting in states he’d probably have lost?

Why is everything RISC-V some low power device, I want a workstation with PCIe 5.0 powered by RISC-V.

I could almost see this being done on purpose to highlight the necessity of taking their courses seriously. It’d be a bold move that hinges on the intelligence of people viewing the sign, though.

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking. Among other things, he has now told me that soy beans are not supposed to be consumed by human beings and is convinced that despite the literal centuries of human soy bean cultivation and consumption, we shouldn’t eat...

Here’s my (fallible) understanding of the nugget of truth behind the soy nonsense.

Plants contain something called phytoestrogen. It has a similar shape and function in plants to estrogen in humans. Soy contains a lot of it.

However, since it is made of different chemicals to estrogen it does not act like estrogen in humans.

Still, because it has the word “estrogen” in it, a lot of idiots think it will cause you to become weak and grow tits if you eat soy. You know, like a woman. Hence the “soyboy” memes and the use of the term as an insult, mostly by woman-hating alt-right goons.

It’s possible your friend is covertly falling for the fallacy, or perhaps their concern is several times removed; i.e. they fell for someone’s lie based on a lie based on a lie based on bigotry.

I’ve seen the generically ugly humans on offer, I’ll take the pretty mods thanks. :P

Boomers assuming people become conservative as a function of time as opposed to a function of “getting theirs”. I have no evidence but it seems to be you’re less likely to become conservative without having amassed some wealth to conserve…

higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

If the service charge is always there then just raise prices by 18% and stop misleading people ffs…
