I mean… why do that?
If the government want to kill people in a country where they can get away with it they’ll just send armed men to shoot them.
Poisoning water supply is something the joker would do in a comic book, but on reality it won’t make a lot of sense for any big city. Going there and shooting people is probably much more effective, less expensive and let you with a not-poisoned city to settle with your own people.
Why?
My country’s passport is categorized as the 3rd better in the word, but I never really used it or saw any special advantage to it.
I suppose it can be useful if you travel a lot internationally, but if that’s not the case is not really that big of a deal.
In my life experience the only way to test the reliability of a news source is to actually live some events and see how they are reported by different media.
I have no such experience with al Jazeera, so I couldn’t tell you reliably if they are or not reliable. Best advice with media is, unless you are certain they are reliable, treat them as unreliable.
I have had the opposite impressions. Many people think what they happen to them is unique, until they start talking about it and many people around them is the same.
In Spain we already have that.
There is an app that let you show only some data of your national ID and it’s verifiable by the other party. One of their usecases is specifically age verification. The app shows that the user is over 18 or under 18 and the portrait. There is a qr that can be used for instant verification.
But signing is kind of different. For signing you need an unique id.
I signed this petition with the digital certificate. It really never asked me for much more data. But the digital certificate includes full name, country and national ID number. But I suppose that’s the minimum needed for a valid signature.
I’m just happy that I’m old enough not no be immediately drafted.
I’ve always thought that the only solution to this problem is being able to reverse engineering central servers and thus being effectively being able to pirate online only games.
If you don’t selfhost your girlfriend do you really love her?
How are matches related to chatting skills? you chat AFTER your match.
It depends.
Those apps rely a lot on your physical appearance, and how good you look in a photograph.
And if you are interested in dating women you’ll have a harder time than if you try to date men.
As a bisexual person every time I open a dating app I have hundreds of likes from men, and barely one or two from women.
Also be aware that experiences for people 10 years ago are not valid now. Enshitificacion have also take it’s tool from dating apps, and experience is way worse than it used to. Last time I opened one I didn’t even got a match in months (until I deleted it). So you would have to mentally prepare for that possibility and keep your self esteem up despite of that.
Jesus also teached to devote live to a fictional character and to respect judaism traditions. And in the apostols carts there’re homophobic rants.
That’s not socialist in my book.
So… Are there any cryptocurrencies that the owners hold in mass and are trying to get profit by selling them to users in a “pay to win” system?
Last time I checked bot IPFS and plebbit had those… Which is why I steered away from those projects.
They have their uses. For instance the other day I needed to read some assembly and decompiled C, you know how fun that can be. LLM proved quite good at translating it to english. And really speed up the process.
Writing it back wasn’t that good though, just good enough to point in a direction but I still ended up writing the patcher mostly by myself.
I love my privacy. And I would never give up encryption.
But I’m not naive not lying, I know that privacy can also be used by criminals to do crime while avoiding prosecution by law enforcement. Not every crime is morally wrong, but many are.
It would be dishonest for my part saying that without privacy it wouldn’t be easier for law enforcement to detain certain criminals. But that doesn’t erase that without privacy law enforcement could also take morally right criminals. A d without privacy other bad actors also have an easier time getting you.
My best take is that is a complex matter, but without downplaying the fact that not all privacy is used by good people, overall having privacy is a good thing.
And being realistic 100% privacy would never be achieved and that level of privacy maybe it’s not desirable. In the sense that with 100% privacy anything you do could be trazable to you without your consent no matter what, which mean that you could do really nasty things without repercussions. But with a great level of privacy it’s more plausible that the greater resources that law enforcement would need to disclose your actions would more likely be used in nasty crimes more than in other things. But, then again. It’s a complex issue, it has a lot of grays and I don’t think it can be oversimplified in a dogma.
Some of my best memories online are in golden era Tumblr, which was a pretty big social media. So I don’t think social media, per se, is the issue.
Maybe I’m out of the loop, but what are neopronoums?
I do know the classic she, he. And the new gender neutral “they”. Are there more that are starting to be used recently that I don’t know about?
Rainbow flag is cool. 🏳️🌈
Due the spectral (is that said correctly?) nature of gender identity and sexual preferences individualized representation of every part of an infinite spectrum is, by definition, impossible. Thus a catch them all flag is the best in representing our diversity.
There are still smaller communities out there. It can be discussed that Lemmy is a small community itself.
Put up a simple fan and sparkle water on your naked skin. That will bring your temperature down pretty quick for cheap.
Cons is that it’s a little trying to be constantly spraying water on yourself and that it can be a little messy. It’s also more convenient to do in a private space like your house. But it’s way cheaper than air conditioning and you will be as cool. The principle of evaporative cooling is amazing.
I’m not American. bbc is also a external news source for me.
