Excellent analysis. Especially this part:

It will be much more productive to try to solve this with the handful of Browser vendors than trying to regulate each and every consent banner.

Early cookie banners were a bad experience but they were manageable. But now thing have transitioned into content-blocking modals, dark patterns, forced individual consent/rejection for each and every one of the 943 partners they're selling your data to, sites that refuse to serve content if you reject tracking and other ways to frustrate the end user.

I'm done with every piece of shit predatory actor inventing their own way of malicious compliance with the GDPR. You either implement the user-friendly consent API or you get no more tracking at all. Paywall your shit for all I care, at least then you'll have a sustainable business model.

Slugs to be you then, I guess. :P

In all seriousness, the graph shows different species as fraction of total uses recorded. Since the paper is mostly about mice, and behavioural differences under different circumstances, it being unfair to the slugs is probably not such a big deal here.

If someone has you wondering if they're compensating for something, it's probably true.

I work in IT, and different definitions of what SaaS means are starting to wreak real havoc on the architecture as a whole.

We are better served just quitting the acronyms and taking the time to talk about a more detailed description of what the service actually adds in terms of value.

Amazon Prime is a subscription for shipping, video streaming, gaming benefits and more. Since software is not the primary goal, but a means of delivery for these other services, I will not consider Amazon Prime SaaS.

So you're saying we should just turn the children of all conservatives queer? Alright, bring in the cat girls, 196 memes and let's pounce!

Joking aside, there's two archetypes of conservative:

• The Xenofobe, who is afraid of a changing world and that fear is strengthened by anything they experience as threatening to their image of how the world works. These people are more likely to warm to LGBTQIA+ people if they learn they're not so different, and everyone is just trying to exist, be themselves and love who they love. There is no agenda for taking over the world.
• The Cultist. These people are beyond saving and generally consist of the hardcore christofascist bible belt inbred morons that are generally dumb as fuck, but loud as hell. They are indoctrinated by their own bubble of conspiracy theorists to the point where they are firmly dug into their own story and nothing will change their views.

It is not worth fighting either group with animosity, condemnation or attacks, as they are more than capable of spinning the story their side and reinforcing their ideas that queers are somehow threatening.

But at least we should be capable of showing the xenofobes that there is no monster in that closet (pun intended), or under their beds.

As for Rowling, she is likely part of the cultist group, which means we're going to have issues. Her status as a celebrity and her wealth further isolates her from the rest of society, which is a real problem because that makes you able to opt out of confrontation with reality. She can just stategically isolate herself from ever coming into contact and having a real human interaction with the people she's having all these misguided ideas about.

I think everyone should be made more aware of the damage that social bubbles cause to society. Whether it's conservative communities, religious indoctrination, closed internet discussion groups or just the wealthy and famous distancing themselves from society (which is usually not by choice but because we treat them to a permanent dose of spotlights).

How you interpret this information is on you. Also please note that below statement is valid Javascript. That is all. UwU? "What's this" :3

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

After reading the article, it seems like the system is supposed to temporarily jam pedal assist, turning your ebike into a regular bike. And the system would need to be installed in all street legal ebikes for that to happen. Since you're still free to accelerate by pedaling like a normal bike user, that significantly reduces the amount of situations where the pedal assist would actually save you. If you can't avoid collision by pedaling harder, you probably had no chance in the first place.

Considering most of the inner city's roads now have a 30 km/h speed limit for cars, collision safety is probably even less of a concern now.

I do share the concern of others in the comments that such a system would probably be broken on day one, and you have a bunch of script kiddies with flipper zeros running around bricking ebikes.

The only way for that not to happen is to use proper encryption for any wireless signals being used to control this system. Considering the Dutch governmental reputation for IT failures, this is probably not going to go well.

Nerds and hackers will also win any battle in removing top speed limitations. The issue we're having right now is that non-techies also have easy access to 60 km/h death machines because they can just buy Chinesium fatbikes with 1kW motors and a preinstalled throttle.

If they start requiring helmets you'll see this fad die down real quick. As it's mostly children (or uncivilized adults) buying these to look cool and cause trouble.

Simple counter: Don't be French.

My take is that our ancestors definitely fucked up bigtime by leaving several parts of the world with arbitrary borders that have no regard for existing ethnic groups. Just take a look at any ethnic map of africa, eurasia or the middle-east and you'll see.

Turns out that colonizers have little interest in local culture. Who would have guessed?

Adding insult to injury: When colonizing land where people mostly lived in tribal social constructs, you actually force them to adapt to your own developments. Essentially skipping the feudalism and micro-states step that has taken Europe literal centuries to get out of.

So you have all these ethnic groups that should have found their way to modern societies without outside interference, and you subject them to slavery, the introduction of guns, mining operations and you crush any form of revolt by committing various atrocities.

Development of nations is never going to be fair, with the strongest group eventually elbowing out the weaker ones. The current status quo definitely doesn't help in finding stability. Foreign interests are still meddling, financial and food aid is causing ridiculous population numbers that can in no way shape or form be supported by the local economies, and as you said, slavery is not truly gone.

Africa can only be an unstable mess as long as we're still fucking around. Ideal (though not particularly empathetic) solution is to GTFO, use magic to disappear all firearms and modern weaponry from existence, redistribute all wealth truly equally and go from there. The actual way this will play out is that we'll see war, instability, destruction of natural resources and a lot of pain and suffering until everything stabilizes or until the land is no longer habitable, whichever comes first.

Salamanders are awesome. Growing up with a pond in the garden we used to go out fishing for frogspawn and salamanders all the time.

We'd hatch the frogspawn in a large aquarium out in the yard and we would watch the little frogs grow. Great way to learn about these little critters as a kid.

Salamanders were released in the pondside vegetation and eventually claimed the pond as their own. Little guys are still hanging around, even after all these years.

Yeah I believe this to be a fallacy. If all your contacts use WhatsApp, they still haven't grasped the concept of installing two applications side-by-side. Or they don't fully understand why people are using signal over WhatsApp. If you fail both of those, congratulations, you've failed to be a self-aware tech user and you're now demoted to a braindead consumer.

I know, mind blowing right? Point is, society in general should not accept others forcing you to keep the WhatsApp monopoly in tact, which is exactly what's happening here.

It will take some time but eventually adoption will spread, even among your contacts. It's just a matter of critical mass, and there are some pretty compelling features within Signal that make it a worthy replacement.

NATO was originally founded so that we'd stop invading each other, which should still hold true today.

I like to think of most developed nations as young adults. All of us are supposed to be mature, which means no more war. We can just talk about things like responsible adults.

Sadly, some of these younger fucks still haven't grasped the concept of "don't be an idiot", and we now need NATO for a strong message of "no, you're not going to touch us, there will be consequences". It's a sad thing that we still need to do so, but I'd rather have a large group of friends that I'm sure will have my back if someone would start shit.

So yes, Sweden joining NATO is a good thing. If anything it will lead to better cooperation and coordination between our countries. Not just in the event of war, but just sharing defense resources and intelligence as well. But the best argument is that we just like you Swedes, and we want to keep hanging out together.

Ah second category it is. Well met!

As a category one nerd with a susceptibility to new kinds of gadget-related hobbies I'm not sure SAT TV is something I should be getting into. Sounds like an absolute blast to tinker with all kinds of setups though.

Do you just buy a dish and a receiver en get going? Or is there more to it?

Satellite forums sounds like a very specific hobby, but I can't quite tell which one:

• forums where all the remote sensing / OSINT / geospatial nerds gather.
• forums for satellite broadcast enthousiasts.
• forums for discussion on space exploration and satellites carrying scientific equipment or actual satellite astronomical bodies.
• forums that are called satellite forums as some form of jargon I am about to learn about for the first time.

What are people into these days?

De formatie wordt mogelijk bewust gerekt om een eventuele stembusgang zo lang mogelijk te voorkomen. Ik ben er redelijk van overtuigd dat VVD en PvdA-GL nooit gezamenlijk tot een begroting of zelfs maar een bestuurlijk programma gaan komen.

En op basis van de huidige zetelverdeling kom je over links met geen mogelijkheid aan een meerderheid als je de drie grote onwaarschijnlijke partners (PVV, VVD, BBB) niet meeneemt of laat gedogen.

We kunnen allemaal rekenen, dus dan hou je toch echt als strategische zet over om de formatie te rekken in de hoop dat de peilingen gaan verschuiven.

"Stem voor de partij die echt voor Nederland is en geen nep partij"

Voor kiezers die dat ècht geloven heb ik nog wel een interessante maaltijdbox in de aanbieding.

Het lijkt erop dat ze dat niet ècht menen. Anders hadden we al een kabinet gehad. De centrum-rechtse constructie is gewoon haalbaar, maar de VVD lijkt eigenlijk niet de handen aan Wilders te willen branden. Ik heb af en toe de indruk dat de VVD denkt dat ze nog steeds de grootste zijn.

Een ding is zeker, alleen PVV en BBB staan ècht te springen om in deze constructie te gaan regeren. En dan kan je als VVD of NSC twee dingen doen:

• de formatie bewust laten klappen en mikken op een betere onderhandelingspositie in het vervolg.
• toch gaan regeren in een constructie die je mogelijk op flinke imagoschade onder je kiezers kan komen te staan.

De reden dat er nu voor de middenweg gekozen wordt ontdek je al snel als je nu naar de peilingen kijkt. Bij nieuwe verkiezingen is er een kans dat Wilders in zijn eentje of samen met de BBB een kabinet kan vormen, en daar is iedereen zich goed bewust van.

Having carried over an account from the original RS2 back in the day all the way over to modern RS3, getting multiple 99's, and now currently exploring all that OSRS has to offer, I bet I'm one of those crazy enough to grind out all the things in real life too.

I still consider properly implemented progression systems (where you're always working towards the next thing) one of the more enjoyable and rewarding game mechanics. And I find there are too few games out there that actually implement them correctly. Most prominent examples I can think of are RuneScape and Terraria. There is just something about progressing through the tiers and experiencing all the different shinies that come with them.

But you probably know this, otherwise you wouldn't be working on this app. :P

Wow, this is awesome! Definitely going to consider supporting this, looks like a lot of fun for just moving around.

As a long time RuneScape player, this is exactly the kind of stuff I want to see more of.

Are you in contact with Jagex at all? They have a history of actually supporting "community projects", best possible analogy to this being Melvor Idle, which is officially recognised and published by Jagex. And they're also known for supporting mental and physical health causes. Seems like the perfect game to form some kind of partnership on.

We actually had a champion for a while. So far he hasn't really achieved the original goal, but that doesn't mean that the dream is dead.

Heck, if he doesn't do it, I will! We need capes back in fashion. Either subtle renaissance style fashionable shoulder capes or full blown cloaks that can double as blankets in a pinch.
