Of course. He admires Putin greatly and that alone would dictate 90% of his actions and words regarding Ukraine

Only if you believe anything trump says

Shockingly, scientists do not receive a blank check and then only provide the word yes or no as the result of their study.

The problem with this attitude is that it presupposes that scientific discovery is linear, predictable, and evaluable without context or scientific knowledge, from an armchair.

For all we know, a study like this could accidentally reveal something about gut health in cats, which later is confirmed to be true about humans, which later is combined with other knowledge to treat bowel cancer.

When you devalue “dumb” science because you judge it at face value, you devalue all science. Republicans are very fond of doing this also and it’s helped create more scientific ignorance in the public and it has made less funds available for science.

There’s nothing more worthy of having money spent on it than science. You’re obviously not a scientist, and even if you were, you cannot predict the future or know what you don’t know. Scientific knowledge is like a giant puzzle and we don’t know what all the pieces are ahead of time or how they fit together.

Lol that’s horrible. The author of this article says that dogs are prolific farters but I’ve had two dogs and neither farted super often. Definitely not denying it’s happened but it’s not something I’ve noticed that much and especially not to the degree you just described!

Not all knowledge needs to be profound to be worth studying. This idea that science wastes so much money needs to die.

My first thought also

I’m assuming this is not just about the app being shitty and the face id shit?

Agree! It will never ever make sense to me that it can easily be proven in some cases that some rich asshole is knowingly lying in a harmful way and yet there’s never any attempt at consequences for it. Meanwhile us normal people go to jail for practically nothing sometimes. People getting executed in the streets for suspected shoplifting, but Nazi cunts spread lies that kill people and it’s fine.

Your tag request has been granted.

Which you would know as much about as you know about everything else!

Ok. Well the person I responded to was on Lemmy, so I thought we were talking about here. In any case I actively avoid YouTube so you may be right and I would never know

Yes you are intelligent hahah

Edit: also I am very stupid. You can tell because I think a few people (who acknowledge criticism) recommending proton among a sea of criticism is not fAn BoIs Me SmArT u DuM. On the plus side you are now forever tagged in my client as “super smart”

Like 10 years ago? What qualifies? If we’re talking anything like apple fanboys I’ve seen nothing remotely like that

Says this guy ^ lmao

You are either lying or hanging out in weird places but sure let’s make it a character flaw of mine

proton fanboys

Lol that’s not a fuckin thing in the least

I think that could be a great change! I don’t honestly know enough to think through all the implications, but it at least sounds like something that could work and may be more feasible moving forward. I don’t think the kernel level stuff can last forever regardless. Once that first horrific mistake happens and data is lost on millions of machines… they’re going to change approaches asap. Sadly it might take something like that to get it to happen though.

Ohh, wow. Yeah that is crazy. I get that reasoning, but I would agree it’s overkill to go ahead and give the controller a leg up! The only shooter I ever could stand on a controller was Halo and that was after a lot of practice (and not having a choice, playing against friends on their xboxes). Still kinda hated it in the back of mind lol

there has to be a way to solve this problem without kernel level anti cheat.

My understanding is that the solution is and always has been to write a good network subsystem for your game/engine. That’s not easy, so most developers would rather spend time on the gameplay and outsource the cheating concerns to the ultimate sledgehammer against cheating: full freaking kernel access. It’s honestly terrifying what could happen granting random companies that access, and it’s probably a miracle we haven’t seen a million users have their data leaked, deleted, corrupted, etc.
