I suppose we should normalize lemmy instances closing new registrations, to keep the user count at a manageable level for the admins.

On Thursday the Reform website was updated to accept cryptocurrency donations. There was a disclaimer stating that all donations were subject to Electoral Commission rules and that anonymous donations were not permissible.

They don't accept anonymous donations. So that doesn't appear to be a concern at least.

Gender dysphoria is a mental problem, in the sense that it causes mental distress to be in the wrong body. The treatment is not therapy, it's surgery to correct the body to fit the mind. A therapist can help identify the cause of the distress, but if the cause is the body then that therapist will recommend surgery.

I recall seeing research suggesting that trans people's brainwaves more closely match that of their "desired" gender than that of their sex. It reinforces the idea that being transgender isn't a mental issue, it's a physical issue that causes mental distress.

A trans man isn't a woman who merely thinks she's a man, it's actually a man inside that skull. Only the body underneath it is wrong. It's as if tomorrow you woke up in the body of the opposite gender. That will (after the novelty wears off) start distressing you. Trans people didn't wake up like that, they were born with that feeling.

Why did the Guardian even bother to write this article? It isn't really newsworthy imo.

I think the point is that even if LLMs suck at task A, they might be really good at task B. Just because code written by LLMs is often riddled with security flaws, doesn't mean LLMs also suck at identifying those flaws.

That's a synogram, depending on who you're asking.

We know they reflect more energy, but the point is that the vast, vast majority of energy is still absorbed. A white shirt doesn't reflect as bright as the sun, it's barely reflective at all really. And because most energy is absorbed anyway, the difference between the colours just becomes negligible.

It's also negligible for tighter clothing. See https://nltimes.nl/2023/07/21/wearing-white-clothing-wont-make-cooler-heat-researchers-confirm

That's actually been debunked. The difference between black and white clothing is so negligible it's entirely unnoticeable. The structure of the clothing is far more important.

It's insane, the basic fucking concept of why human shields "work" is that it's morally wrong to kill them. Totally bizarre.

Does ctrl-shift-v not work for you? Or do you want to rebind it?

No abnormal finding in them tiddies

There's already one here: https://lemmy.world/post/30218513

I assume it means smoking the weed (turning it into gas).

That's not what he's saying, he says that due to Apartheid there are still some racial tensions and it's also a reason for said unemployment and poverty.

Interesting, for me there's a fairly clear difference in the colour blue:

Nice proof there?

Wray initially came out saying it was still unclear if Trump was hit. After investigation it was concluded he was.

I cited sources and showed evidence, you haven't shown anything. Either find some proof for your assertions or admit you were wrong.

There was nothing in between Crooks and Trump that was hit and could have launched shrapnel at Trump. And it's hilarious to think the USSS "hip-checked" him when we have clear photo evidence of two skin-grazings on his ear.

Never really noticed a difference tbh, I think it's mostly similar.

Factcheck showing no images or video of broken glass nearby: https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-rumor-shards-glass-232900180.html

FBI also confirmed the bullet lightly grazed him: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/07/30/congress/no-doubt-trump-was-hit-by-bullet-00171861

(Paywalled) NYT analysis also suggests it was a bullet: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/26/us/politics/trump-shooter-bullet-trajectory-ear.html

Independent forensic experts also weighed in stating it's extremely unlikely it wasn't a bullet:

Diaczuk echoed the Times’ findings, pointing out that there were no objects between Crooks and Trump that logically could have created flying debris, and that the podium and seats behind Trump happened to be positioned in such a way that the laws of physics made it unlikely he was hit by a fragment of either, he told The Independent.

Do you have any evidence that shows where the supposed glass shrapnel came from? I understand not liking Trump (I detest him too), but come on. It was an assassination attempt, he was very lightly grazed by the bullet.

Good point, I block all ads so I never noticed.
