  • It felt like we, as a society, had so much optimism for the world that was to come. So, if anything, I think that’s what I’m mostly nostalgic for. I was so excited to grow up in that world. Damn.

    As with anything regarding the past, there's a lot of rose-tinted glasses going on. Be careful what you wish for

  • It's not a bug, it's 110% intentional and not only for the windows default screenshot utility. The whole pipeline is built in such a way to prevent you from taking screenshots or capturing video of a DRM protected player.

    Even in Linux, afaik, you can't simply take screenshots or record a Netflix movie playing in the browser. Yes there are ways, but not with the default applications (you need to break the encryption)

  • In more official settings they would also use the year "ab Urbe condita", meaning "since the City's founding" (city being Rome).

    59BC should be around 694 aUc if my numbers are right.

  • Have you read the report?

    I haven't read it all, but from reading like a couple paragraphs it says that the Chinese government is making mass incarcerations with accusations of extremism and terrorism, while these terms are not well defined and it appears that they are only targeting Muslims for their religion. Furthermore in these jails it appears that the Chinese government is doing things like forced injections, forcing people to take pills and other classics like torture, waterboarding and rape, invasive gynecological exams etc.

    Inmates are forbidden to pray with guards making rounds at night to ensure compliance, being forbidden to speak their own language or practice anything from their culture. Prominent scholars, artists and intellectuals are being incarcerated, people are forbidden to leave the region or to receive or send money from the outside.

    If it were Israel doing this, and they are doing this, you'd call it genocide, wouldn't you?

    Or doesn't Uyghurstan have the same right to exist as Palestine?

  • I mean, I wouldn't mind a car with "only" 200km range, but that can charge up to full in just 5 minutes. I use my car just for work 99% of the time anyway, the times I need to go somewhere further away I can easily stop midway to charge, get a coffee in the meantime and then be on my way.

  • Carl?

    Jump
  • Iirc is to attract birds so it can infect the bird and use it to reproduce. After the bird has eaten the parasite out of the snail's eyeballs, the snail can often regenerate and keep living as usual. This is what I recall from a YouTube video at least ¯(ツ)

  • Yeah, it pretty much blew out that whole section of coastline, that big hole is called a "caldera". It's still active btw, you can go and check it out if you want. Look for Solfatara di Pozzuoli.

    You can also look at the Greek island of Santorini, where the whole western and central part of the island was blown off during the bronze age iirc. Historians speculate the eruption, earthquake and tsunamis caused by the event could have partially influenced the collapse of the Minoan civilization, the rise of the Mycenaeans, turmoil in Egypt and possibly even the fall of the Chinese empire due to a global winter. Crazy stuff
