  • I think he was referring to people angry or disappointed by Microsoft's move

  • Any reports you make are visible to the admins of your instance.

    E.g. if you make a report, the community mods may choose to ignore it while your admins choose to remove it for everyone using their instance.

    Everything you see on Lemmy is through the eyes of your instance, people of other instances may see different stuff. E.g. some instances censor certain slurs, but that doesn't affect users outside that instance. (de)federations also dictates what comments you will see on a post.

  • People aren't talking about convictions, but about actual murders. The fact that murder rates are higher in poorer areas is nothing new.

  • Be diligent with reporting, and consider switching instance if your admins aren't really active.

  • Admins are actively looking into solutions, nobody wants that stuff stored on their server, and there's a bunch of legal stuff you must do when it happens.

    One of the problems is the cost of compute power for running programs detecting CSAM in pictures before uploading, making it not viable for many instances. Lemmy.world is moving towards only allowing images hosted via whitelisted sites I think.

  • Glass is fragile though. I've accidentally dropped a 20kg plate on my hydroflask and all it got was a small dent. It also won't keep water cool all day.

  • And now that MS is talking about putting their experiences on other platforms, people are upset with them? That they've somehow lost their way, that the brand is dying?

    Those people are "invested" in the xbox eco system I would assume

  • It's a haiku about network issues

  • I'm sorry, but this is mild compared to the insanity that is Kirkbride's Morrowind lore. Gods... how I wish Bethesda hired him for TES 6

  • Say whatever you want about Microsoft, but they don't mess around with backwards compatibility.

  • That's 13cm shorter than the average in the Netherlands. Never been in the Netherlands, but even in Norway where the average is 181cm, 170cm is definitely on the short end. In the US the average is only 177 so it's not really short over the pond though.

    I was initially thinking of adding "but who really cares about height in real life though?", but then I remembered that height discrimination goes beyond women in the dating scene and is a serious issue.

  • VLC is much more versatile, but when it comes to speed/efficiency, MPV run laps around VLC.

  • You're absolutely right that I'm not an expert on neither psychology nor sociology. But I'm not basing my opinions on popular culture either. My opinions were mostly formed from years ago when I had to do a month research and write my exam in Examen Philosophicum during my study for a Master of Science, where I wrote about the history of scientific theory.

    It was mostly when I read about Karl Popper and his criterion of falsifiability that I stumbled upon the "science" of psychology. Other than that, my impression of psychology mostly comes from living with a psychology student for three years and hearing about her studies.

    A science without hard facts isn't much of a science from my point of view. You can't reproduce or simulate the minds of people thousands of times. There's so many variables factoring in when you're researching, or diagnosing. How do you separate the researcher's emotions and personal interpretation from the "objective" facts of a person's psyche.

    @ZzyzxRoad@sh.itjust.works Implying I'm a troll isn't really a great form of argument. Feel free to type your whole comment again and I'll read it with an open mind.

    @ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social I'm not trying to be anti science, I still think it's a worthwhile field of study, I just don't think it's fits the criteria of science. Feel free to show me wrong.

  • The only reason I "have space to say so" is because it's not a science. Allowing whatever you mean by "direct psychological experimentation" wouldn't change that.

    I'm not saying it's a field of study that isn't useful, but it's not science.

  • That's generally how the economy works, unless you're in a recession...

  • Anything related to psychology and sociology is pseudoscience.
