Not the same thing?

As an European living in Asia and can’t help but cringe at American cars. They’re so far behind. And it’s the car country. Japan has better cars and better rail. Embarassing.

Tbf notoriously China subsidizes BYD to net loss so its not exactly capitalism.

This is just working. Spain is no demand for military tech and could easily spend time shopping around for years.

Subnautica 2 must be in a pretty dire spot for this to happen. I guess we’ll see as the story unrolls and early access comes eventually but I’ve met many successful people who stopped caring after they made it big (which is fine but then just quit) so I really wouldn’t be surprised if the publisher is right here.

Lmao as usual gamers rush in with outrage and turns out the issue is not that simple.

It’s the toughest problem for this very reason but thats why freedom of competition is critical here. We can allow systems to self correct through incentives and protections and thats exactly what most western democracies are doing!

Diversity has been hijacked as a ideological word but its literally the best and most sustainable long term strategy even in rigid markets like investment (I.e. hedging, index funds etc). So diversifying power, despite blocking, is really powerful despite what current autocrat wannabes want us to believe.

Will it though? Looking at China, Russia or Iran I’m not so certain. In fact it seems to be regressing without anyone actively working for progress.

Theres definitely some risk especially in semi-anonymous forums like Lemmy. For example Lemmy.world is blocking VPNs so they know everyone’s IP addresses and given post history etc its very easy to actually identify who’s who. Especially now with AI forensics.

That being said, as a security expert, I think it’s not always productive for casual people to be obsessed with this and you if you can you should use a VPN or a mobile network which due to how cell towers work is much more anonymous than anything else in practice (datacenter IPs work too as well as TOR but those are blocked in practice)

Someone was asking about “vignette glasses” on /c/asklemmy

Gamifying altruism kinda works

The variability is crazy this year too. North Europe is having 30º C mid days and 12º evenings which is very unusual and obviously not great for people and infrastructure.

Clearly you argue in bad faith so I won’t bother engaging so maybe next time!

How is single use defined here? Because some places do “single use is anything below 5nm thickness” and you uusy end up with more plastic.

Edit: seems anything above 30 microns is still legal which basically means only cling wrap and similar. Shopping bags on avg are 50 microns or so.

and I’m saying that we can fix it in better ways. What now?

my point was exactly that it’s not a black and white issue while you argue that it is.

says you lol I guess we’re finally in some form of agreement. Have a good day :)

Did you at least read the abstract lmao

Emerging scientific evidence indicates that frequent digital technology use has a significant impact—both negative and positive—on brain function and behavior. Potential harmful effects of extensive screen time and technology use include heightened attention-deficit symptoms, impaired emotional and social intelligence, technology addiction, social isolation, impaired brain development, and disrupted sleep. However, various apps, videogames, and other online tools may benefit brain health. Functional imaging scans show that internet-naive older adults who learn to search online show significant increases in brain neural activity during simulated internet searches. Certain computer programs and videogames may improve memory, multitasking skills, fluid intelligence, and other cognitive abilities. Some apps and digital tools offer mental health interventions providing self-management, monitoring, skills training, and other interventions that may improve mood and behavior. Additional research on the positive and negative brain health effects of technology is needed to elucidate mecha

Not convinced by this argument and surely there would still better way to address this.
