The good thing is that if you can detect an effect from a medication and determine its mechanism, there's the possibility you may be able to synthesise something with a stronger effect and more manageable side effects.
I watched his Hit and Run remake videos from the beginning, and it's not really about the end product - he made it clear from the beginning that that project was never going to be released.
Mostly, it seems to be about selling his "learn how to make Unreal games" courses and Unreal plugins.
The videos were fun in their own right, to be honest.
I recognise that security through obscurity isn't something you can rely on, so don't consider my own practices to be secrets and am willing to share them to help others.
I use strong unique passwords stored in a KeePass database, and MFA whenever it's available. I also have a VPN specifically so that I can use public Wifi when I have to (or wish to do something more private on the internet, such as downloading Linux ISOs).
I also have a vanity domain that redirects all mail to a central mailbox, so whenever I sign up for something I can easily use a unique address. This allows me to block specific addresses that produce spam and see where the spammers got that address.
Nope. There's a reason they go after video games that use the red cross symbol for health packs, that dilutes the meaning of what the red cross stands for.
Thanks for the link, but I already provided links to all three patents (confusingly, with the same names) that they were making claims on in my reply.
The thing about patents is that they are regularly granted for blindingly obvious processes that should never be patentable. It's not just companies like Google that get screwed by this, it's individual developers, FOSS projects... All sorts.
If you're trying to provoke thought, think a little about this statement yourself. This is clearly untrue.
Just because you can always dig deep enough to find a negative, it doesn't imply any sort of equivalence.
I've done things I'm not proud of, but I've never committed genocide. Am I as bad as Hitler?
Now, does that mean that we need to research all of our purchases deeply enough to know every minor cost to humanity and the world associated with that purchase? No, but we can make the best decisions we can with the information we have.
This is, again, a false dichotomy. There are also companies from C through to Z that, despite operating within a system that allows or even encourages immoral activity, try to operate in a moral and sustainable way themselves.
Why not buy online from an individual who grows their own ingredients and makes their own, ethical, net-zero produce? Or go to vendors at your local market?
Pretending that "they're all as bad as each other" helps absolutely nothing.
