He was considered conservative in his time, although in a way that doesn’t really exist any more, opposing social change whatever the source. He strongly opposed fascism for instance.

I don’t think he was particularly racist for his time. He partly gets that reputation because he was writing about foreign cultures for readers who had zero understanding of them, when his own understanding came from being part of the British empire.

I think mine was around 13.

It’s specifically a reference to Fahrenheit 451 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451

They work completely differently. Benfluorex is an amphetamine that acts as a serotonin–norepinephrine releasing agent.

Sometimes paranoia is pragmatic

That sounds a lot more efficient. Just hanging the explosives isn’t going to direct the energy very well.

This is already in nightly, you can see it on the test instance here https://voyager.lemmy.ml/c/photography@lemmy.ml

I suspect the NSA already has a quantum computer capable of breaking most (if not all) forms of encryption currently in use.

I’ve looked into this from a UK perspective, partly because I’m in the market for a new 3d printer. Usual disclaimer that I’m not a lawyer, this is just a summary of what I found in my research, it could be completely wrong.

You can usually sue a company in a local court if they do business in your country, enforcement can obviously be an issue but if they have a local warehouse it can be enforced there.

In the UK there is a specific small claims track for small IP claims, it’s not expected for you to have a barrister, and cost orders are rare, so if you lose you don’t normally have to pay the opponents costs. This court can still grant injunctions, such as requiring them to release the source code, or preventing them from selling any printers.

The customer probably has standing to bring a claim as a third party beneficiary, this doesn’t seem to be entirely settled.

Drinking out of it grants eternal youth, you don’t sell it, you sell access to it.

I found the slashdot system worse than the reddit/lemmy system, if you commented anything that offended the hive mind you got downvoted into oblivion and lost the ability to vote, which obviously ended up reinforcing the hive mind.

The destroying angel mushroom. It’s one of the most poisonous mushrooms in existence, symptoms of poisoning don’t appear until it’s too late for treatment, and it happens to look almost identical to several common edible mushrooms, because it just hates life.

Downvotes don’t seem to be much of a factor in post visibility, at least in scaled mode?

Oh, that makes a lot more sense.

Wait, what’s this if it’s closed source? https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server

That article is over a year old and it’s still not open source.

I guess I should have qualified it as no significant conflicts. They were all small regional conflicts, deliberately contained in scope and duration.
