does ddg not have its own search backend anymore?

you won’t need a dedicated monitor if you use Looking Glass

“santa killed your uncle with it to make sure it works”

i mean it’s in the name:
FEDiverse

root cause solution: outlaw advertising

advertising is what makes social media bad, because it creates an incentive system such that more traffic = more profits, and so companies are incentivised to create conflict (radicalise people) so they stay on the site more

that sounds fire as fuck

free and open not free open

ksp 2 cyberpunk starfield

single player corporate games are still corporate games, removing the multiplayer aspect doesn’t remove the shittiness entirely

passive/active are just 2 modes you can select between and active is simply better so for me there’s literally 0 problems

scrcpy?

Camera + ID = zero privacy for anyone

is a child watching tom scott really a bad thing?

also if someone doesn’t want to provide service to Australia because they don’t want to handle IDs, how would you block Australians? ip bans won’t work because a child can use vpns, and if you want to verify by foreign ID for this then you still need ID checking

australia doing this makes it worse for everyone in the world

also a child could also just ask their parents to verify for them

afaik it’s just the msi pro -a z690/z790 boards

yeah i play ksp and rainworld with coreboot+disabled ME thinkpad t430 and it’s fine (coreboot has no performance penalties)

the only thing coreboot broke in my instance was the passive (cpufreq) powersave cpu scaler for my cpu, but I could just switch to the active (intel_pstate) powersave cpu scaler which is better anyway

are there modern desktop motherboards/chipsets/bioses that let you disable ME though? the z690/z790 are the only ones that I know can run coreboot (ignoring laptop motherboards), but I thought that still had to run ME?

I don’t get the hate against the lemmy devs tbh, they have their (perhaps controversial) political views but they leave everyone that’s not on their site alone and it feels like they develop lemmy pretty impartially

sure they might ban you off ml but that’s their site and they get to do whatever they want with it, just like every other instance

i mean network effect is a thing i guess but that’s not as important on lemmy where there are usually similarly large communities about generic things on most major instances

don’t let them change the meaning of our words then

im just mocking the stats in the title because it implies that women and children are targeted but it’s not like prioritising men or adults makes it any better

it’s not like you can ethically decide whether any one of these age groups/genders are more guilty/innocent/valuable/important

killing through genocide is similarly unjust however you do it, it’s just that sometimes discriminating some groups makes it more beneficial for the genociding party (e.g. deaths of children are more emotionally powerful when used in media)

the stats don’t say that they don’t discriminate though, it’s just saying they don’t discriminate based on their status as a child or an adult, or gender

wow did you know that ~50% of people are female and ~50% of people in Gaza are children? what a shocking statistic that ~70% of people killed are women or children!

you all need to learn to distinguish between the people/the government/the country

maybe it’s just because that’s the more memorable/unique parts of their name?

trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that’s just because I’ve heard ‘obama’ so many times)

I’m not saying that’s definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why
