It's a tongue-in-cheek comment, not a serious statement regarding psychological resilience.

There are public interest exceptions to European right-to-be-forgotten laws. Cases are handled on an individual basis. Sometimes those exceptions apply, sometimes the needs of the individual supercedes those public interests.

How does the 8cx Gen 3 compare to the M2/M1 Pro/M1 Max? (this is a rhetorical question)

Is being vegan a disability? Regarding nuts, I don't know about the rest of the world but in my country, restaurants are required to disclose allergens in their foods, if asked.

This could, of course, be an explanation. Except for the _stated fact_ that after they removed the batch import, they were still rejected.

In the video, they say they informed nVidia of this in April of 2022, so probably nothing.

I don't understand the dichotomy between rational conversations and moral arguments. "Oh no, morality!" is such a ridiculous-but-common escape-hatch whenever you're having a debate about something that is even a tiny bit

From the README [0] and code, I'd wager that the only thing happening is that JS has been filtered out, that the CSP rules are significantly stricter and that a dark mode has been added. [0]: https://codeberg.org/orenom

What is your point? What makes the statement hollow is that the US does it all the time, just not that often in Afghanistan (that we know of). Just as a fun fact because you didn't specify which bin Laden: Osama's son, Hamza bin L

Yes. In Denmark, Wickr is the chat-app of choice for dealers alongside Snapchat. My non-tor skilled friends use it for that. I don't think anyone uses it for anything else. Why Wickr, I don't know. It's not to protect the buy

Built into the very fabric of unionism is the acknowledgement that capital and labor have fundamentally different goals, i.e. class struggle. An acknowledgment for which the only logical conclusion is an independent workers movement. There

Whether I made it too `pseudo-intellectual' I don't know, or perhaps rather, I must have because the point went over your head. My point was exactly the opposite, there are no desirable ends: either Apple should be allowed to assi

I, and I imagine many more people, block all external resources by default, which has gotten me removed from a mailing list I was interested in. Although I will give you that the vast majority of auto-removals have been beneficial for me.

Not OP but: I found it surprisingly manageable. I think the disconnect for many people is they think they'll understand it simply by using it [0]. For me, investing a short time reading some of the design articles/documents really

Schizoids are lonely and they choose (quite paradoxically) to be alone because of it. The internal fantasy of the schizoid exists solely to fill the hole left by their lack of emotionally intimate relationships. That is, the steps of th

How is it not schizoid? It's literally treating loneliness by directing attention toward one's inner life and away from the external world. I'm no Eugen Bleuler, but his definition is exactly this, the self in exile . If you
