What law are they breaking? Not trying to defend Google or anything, just curious what law is blatantly being broken here because I don’t know of one

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

sweeny ,

Those YouTubers have the option to disable ads on their channel if that is truly all the revenue they need, you don’t need to make that decision for them

sweeny ,

I think they still can but they have less fine control over which ad placements they disable? I’m not totally sure, but that’s what this link seems to imply support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en

sweeny ,

That should be the women’s choice to make though. She doesn’t want a baby, if she has an unexpected pregnancy she will abort, so she doesn’t need to take all that into account. She should get her treatment and a prior warning about pregnancy issues that could occur

sweeny ,

Nice imaginary conversation, I’m sure you’re a totally qualified doctor and lawyer… just have the patient sign a liability waiver dude

sweeny ,

Yes they do. In new york (where this took place), and most places, doctors are protected by liability waivers if the patient has informed consent. Read this for more information if you want an actual informed opinion on this

sweeny ,

This wouldn’t be gross incompetence, it is a standard treatment that comes with pregnancy risks that the patient can choose to take knowing that they aren’t going to give birth. All of those quotes youve selectively pulled are in reference to unexpected injury that isn’t outlined in the waiver, so I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t apply in this case. Neither of us are lawyers though, I wonder if any lawyer fed heads could chime in

Let’s not get too caught up on comparisons, everyone deserves a living wage. McDonald’s is a job just as much as healthcare work is, an hour of your life takes just as much of your time no matter where you work. The big question to me is why this minimum wage isn’t being applied across all industries

sweeny ,

Ohhh op also talks about tortilla chips so I was like

“Um yeah dude, they sell that with chips at like every stadium ever”

I like also like “All cops are bad” for when you want to get the message across without cursing or disparaging the parentless

Justin Roiland used his ‘Rick and Morty’ fame to pursue young fans, text messages show (www.nbcnews.com)

In the years following the 2013 debut of Adult Swim’s cartoon phenomenon “Rick and Morty,” its star and co-creator Justin Roiland became a titan of the animation and video game industry and a rock star of youth counterculture. His artistic style and caricatures became ubiquitous in cannabis culture, and his career expanded...

The only people who care about this distinction are pedophiles / whatever that term is.

sweeny ,

I said people who care about the distinction, not people who know the term

sweeny ,

Lmao a 16 year old being hit on by a 30 year old is not age appropriate sexual acts, it’s about mental maturity

sweeny , (edited )

Nah, I’m just saying I don’t feel uncomfortable calling someone who preys on children a pedophile, cause they’re gross either way

sweeny ,

Allow me to recite the third sentence of that Wikipedia article you linked since reading comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strong suit:

“The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.[1] Children generally have fewer rights and responsibilities than adults. They are classed as unable to make serious decisions.” such as sex with a grown man

sweeny , (edited )

I was using the legal (and very commonly used, btw) definition of child, since *acting on pedophilia is illegal. I’m not normalizing anything by comparing them to pedophiles, youre the one trying to normalize sexual relations with people under 18

sweeny ,

Lol Im very against all of those things, thinking minors shouldn’t be sexualized by adults has nothing to do with any of those terms you rattled off. Go fuck your underage waifu pillow

sweeny ,

That’s not even comparable to the amount that’s happening in the US, we’ve definitely got a bigger systemic problem here. With that being said Im not a fan of these kinds of memes anyways, it’s not that theyre incorrect, I just don’t think kids getting murdered en masse is funny

sweeny ,

Lmao clipart memes need to be a thing

How can you even form an opinion on this if, as you stated in that thread, you literally have no idea what typescript is and are just a beginner in js? You got down voted for saying typescript is unnecessary without even knowing what it is or what the thing you’re working with’s limitations are, which is a pretty objectively braindead stance to take. You’re a beginner js developer, you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to preferences of ts vs js, just that all of the beginner level stuff you have tried to do works in js so therefore typescript or frameworks must be unnecessary

sweeny ,

It’s probably a healthy mindset to be hard on yourself for running stop signs, you’re gonna get somebody killed dude

sweeny ,

That card’s a decade old, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect modern big budget games to run well on it

The real cost of gas and milk is the environment

It’s also anti inflammatory and will make you feel less depressed about the ailments it can’t take care of! It can have some negative side effects if you overdo it of course, and you can become too impaired to operate vehicles while using it, so I wouldn’t quite call it a miracle drug, but it’s still an extremely useful drug with minimal health risks. Not to mention it’s a good time, I don’t feel the need to use any other drugs recreationally since weed works so well and has so much less side effects (when used in moderation).

A lot of people struggle with moderation and withdrawals, so I wouldn’t go as far as to say it is non addictive unfortunately, but it is a lot less addictive than pain killers that’s for sure

It’s true, my uncle’s cousin works for Cellebrite and says they can even hack into our brains

This has to be an intentionally bad idea lol, most albums are longer than 30 minutes and this would ruin the flow

My open letter to the tech industry on sexism, HR, and Linus Tech Tips

The Linus Tech Tips abuse allegations are yet another reminder that something absolutely needs to be done about the rampant sexism in the tech industry. If you haven’t heard them yet you can read about them here, but be warned, there is some potentially very triggering abuse and self harm detailed:...

sweeny OP , (edited )

That’s a great point, unions are really under utilized in tech and would help a ton with this. I’m not sure if forming a union is 100% of the solution though, there are powerful unions in hollywood and sexism has still been allowed to run rampant there for example. Unions are comprised of the workers, many of whom are contributing to the problem, this isn’t just an issue coming from the top

sweeny OP ,

I would say it’s both, it is an extremely tech centric media production company with many employees who are tech professionals. That’s an interesting point though, the tech culture and media production culture definitely both seem to be at play here. This story just stirred up a lot of feelings for me on this recurring pattern I’ve been seeing in the tech industry as a whole, and many are rightfully pointing out that these problems aren’t just limited to the tech industry.

sweeny OP ,

This is needlessly splitting hairs, Linus Tech Tips is absolutely part of the tech industry, and the parallels to other horror stories of the tech industry are too great to ignore. The people working on these videos are tech professionals similar to yourself, they test software similar to what you make, they have a company culture similar to tech startups, and other tech professionals consume their videos giving them influence in the tech community. They may not be doing the same thing in the industry as you are, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t part of it.

Have you heard of Spotify?

Who the heck is that? I thought this was a meme of world famous pop sensation Joji who definitely never made edgy 2010s YouTube videos

Jerboa loaded it fine lol

I just get AI to write my comments lol. I’ll paste the function or component and tell it to write comments in tsdocs format and it works great every time (I will also add to it sometimes of course).

Don’t get me wrong, I also write clean code with good function and variable naming, but I find comments are also useful for a few reasons; they make the code even more quickly readable, they can explain why the code is the way that it is, and my favorite reason, they make it so when you hover over a reference to the commented item in an ide you get an explanation of exactly what the code does and what it expects without having to find and read the code itself

sweeny ,

Sir this is a Wendy’s

Is it just me or does Lemmy have a particularly hard time detecting sarcasm?

sweeny ,

Lmao

sweeny ,

I still think it’s weird that they made Ken say the n word, I know it technically isn’t R material and that it fits his character, but it still felt a little off and wrong

Edit: wow lots of KKKen supporters here I guess

Lol someone went through my profile and down voted every comment I’ve ever made, I have no idea why this joke has generated so much salt, are there actually rumors of Ken being racist or something?

sweeny ,

Lmao I thought it was obvious that I was joking, I just thought it was funny that they called the Barbie movie “edgy”

sweeny ,

Not trollin, just making a joke. The fact that people think I was trying to trick people into thinking Ken said the n word is kind of insane lol, I figured that was absurd enough that it didn’t need the “/s”

sweeny ,

They call em fingers, but I’ve never seen them fing … oh there they go

sweeny ,

I appreciated the fry dying call back, I feel like it had to have been self aware. Great reboot episode, an average Futurama episode, which is great!

Who weighs their ice cream? I’m surprised this measured by weight and not something like pints or calories.

Anyways, I wonder if this has to do with the rising trend of plant based diets. I still eat ice cream occasionally but the vegan ice cream I get wouldn’t be counted as ice cream in this data (understandably so)
