Just gonna fling an extra spanner into your already great job of crunching gears; lawful != moral or just

I'm so glad the terfs have been working tirelessly to keep women safe

This is such a fucking stupid infographic, it's just straight up misinformation.

I have done keto, my partner was doing Calorie counting at the time and was curious and did the math for me. I was consuming about 150% of my normal pre-diet Calorie intake and losing 500g per day for a month. CICO is flatout not the mechanic used.

Alright, showoff

This is adorable and wonderful. I love this so much for you. Thanks for sharing!

I'd like to point out that the title is conflating two very different acts of "piracy". What I think of as "the little guy" piracy is content "theft", whereby they acquire some content they didn't pay for to enjoy. What "the big guy" piracy looks like is licensing theft, whereby they take something "freely available on the internet" and use it to make their own product which directly affects the creator.

The world in which I watch some P&R or play some Warhammer for free in my little cave looks identical to the world in which I didn't do that. The world in which I read all the Warhammer lore and make a game and sell it using the same setting and characters without talking to GW directly devalues their IP and the world looks different (this is effectively what AI does as it can be made to reproduce a lot of the training data).

I'd love to live in a world without DRM and "always online" and purchased**TM (arbitrarily revocable) games, and convenient and affordable ways to access media so piracy isn't necessary and the degree to which it would still happen would be so minor we wouldn't even need laws for it. I support the kind of piracy that rallies against that shit, I do not support arbitrary license theft.

I really wish they'd bring nickleback

Yup. Thankfully management at my old job understood this, we had one quick 10 minute catchup about 30 minutes into the day every day and that was it. If a project required several meeting, they were all done as close together as possible over as few days as possible, leaving as many free full days as reasonably could be achieved. It worked really well

A phone number is not a factor of security, doesn't matter how much every scummy data harvesting company tries to gaslight you into thinking it is, it fundamentally can never be.

Yeah? What's not clicking?

Also modular power supplies while we're at it thanks. 20 years and the cables still can't be reused/you have to remanage the whole damn case when doing a swap

Oh ez, that's only 17 orders of magnitude!

If we managed an optimistic pace of doubling every year that'd only take.... 40 years. The last few survivors on desert world can ask it if it was worth it
