  • Yeah, they should definitely have targeted vulnerabilities instead. Human skin should not be so easy to pierce with bullets...

  • Bunyan sounds the same as some old French Canadian swear word, but is written differently. I think the real spelling would be something like "bon yenne", and also resembles a French Canadian folklore named "Bon Jean".

  • Within 20 years... That's a generation. They have time to raise kids to adulthood.

  • I agree regarding closet, but I believe most people have a skeleton inside their meatbag.

  • I don't know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.

    Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to "match" at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.

    If "face generation from DNA" is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the "average person", the more likely you would fit the generated face.

    Doesn't it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?

  • I don't know, I didn't read the article. I try to make as little assumptions as I can... It could just add easily be a native that trained in the UK, but then i suppose it would have been mentioned.

    Which language do you think the government should use/expect from it's employes in HK?

  • If the local language is Cantonese, but the government is forcing to use Mandarin in law and other official businesses, to me it sounds the same as forcing Ukrainians to speak Russian (in the old USSR), Catalans to speak Spanish, and French Canadian to speak English. It's soft cultural assimilation.

    I don't know much about the local language usage in HK, so i could be wrong though.

  • We had bus drivers protests. They were not allowed to strike because "essential service", so instead they publicly announced that they would "forget" to check people's tickets.

    Effectively they gathered people's sympathy while distributing profits. That was effective!

  • That title sounds like an XKCD password.

  • MacOS, you mean Unix with a wallpaper? While Unix is not Linux, BSD is open source so it's nice!

  • That was not an article, it was just a list of overreactions by right-wing personalities.

  • I usually say "Yeah, i used to like IPA but i got bored of it. Do you have anything else than hoppy beers?" Then, they come up with the sours...

  • Google map is late to the game. NORAD has radars and has been doing it for much longer.

    Due to the uncertainty principle, they can know where he's going or where he is, but not both at the same time.

  • To be fair, sometimes it's fucking complicated to find the correct HS code for some goods...

    I don't condone their action, but i totally understand 😂😂

  • Moving mass towards the center to reduce rotational inertia and increase manoeuvrability! Little changes can bring great improvements in space battles.

  • It's an alternate universe's Star Trek. They just need some handwavium device to cross universe and they could make a crossover episode.

  • From my early torrent days, we used to say that any torrent we dont seed back to at rast 1:1 is bad for the network (leeching). I can see why there is a desire to block StremIO clients, but if it was modified to see back to some ratio, it would be nicer.

    As for debrid, it's a bit too "centralised" for me still... I've read that it's a major weak point in the system and that servers are often unavailable. That's why i like the resilience of torrents. (Plus the sharing aspect. Sharing is caring!)

  • On Lemmy, whenever I use the "back" feature of my cell phone web browser, the feed reverts to the default filter. It's probably a bug, but it prevents ne from clicking without fear that I'll lose where i was in my doomscrolling...
