Maybe it's because I grew up in the north where there are no lizards, but Ive never understood squeamish reactions to them. I get it for insects, and spiders, and snakes, and even fish, but lizards have always just seemed like chill happy bros to me.
Except that one massive iguana that chased me, all the rest of have been chill.
so that you can feel good about yourself while doing nothing to prevent climate change.

Denying that we can do anything about climate change, is just the modern form of climate change denial.
Don't be a selfish whore who will destroy their own fucking planet because it's the laziest path to economic productivity.
You want to know what a path to be poor is? Paying trillions of dollars to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Alberta has pissed away all of its oil wealth on "low taxes" that have bought it literally nothing but billions in oil well debt, meanwhile Quebec pooled and saved a tiny portion of that amount in its public retirement funds, and turned that into one of largest sovereign wealth funds in the world.
Like I said, Alberta needs to shut it's fucking mouth and diversify its economy rather than whining and bitching like the oil and gas puppet that it is.
I understand Saskatchewan's complaints about the auto tariffs against China causing their agricultural exports to suffer and that not being fair, but Alberta has had every opportunity at every turn, has kept electing piss poor PC governments no matter how much money they blow, and has then whined like a fucking child to the rest of the country at every turn about their own incompetence.
This is trash content. She says literally nothing of value.
If you actually listen to what she says / read the transcript (not worth it), her complaint is that PP avoided one on one interviews with real journalists... and then ... nothing ... there's no actual complaint about him going on a podcast that will lob softballs, she just calls Joe Rogan a dumbass a bunch of times and pretends like she's making a point.
There's a reason that people invented writing and essays, here's a hint: back in the dawn of writing era, it was entirely possible to go to the town square and go off on an ill-informed, half cocked, diatribe about what ground your gears. But guess what? People discovered that ideas that are written down, thought through, and edited, are more compelling.
Technically only the OpenCollective donation option funds the hosting of lemmy.ml, the other options just fund development of the Lemmy software.
Of course the Lemmy software is being developed by the admins of lemmy.ml, but honestly, are they worse then the Reddit corporation? I find the community of lemmy.ml to be astoundingly toxic and unpleasant, but the Lemmy software still feels like an objective boon to the world in its replacement of Reddit.
Honestly, this is a pretty badly written and researched article for someone that likes writing so much.
Like, just the opening two paragraphs about Microsoft controlling document formats ... They repeat the same information in both paragraphs and give a rather incomplete history of document formatting.
It's also wild to write that many words about Markdown and never discuss its connection to HTML and its foundation in formatting via declarative intent rather than imperative formatting instructions (i.e. in markdown you dont style your title by saying bold / underling / font-size:20, you declare your true intent which is this is the top level title / heading, but that all comes from the underlying structure of HTML which markdown is basically just a simplification of.
I'm sorry but this is a false equivalency. Yes, American food has generally been trash quality-wise, but there is still a difference between under regulated and inspected, and NOT regulated or inspected.
I use utilities like unlock origin, a pihole, etc to block trackers and ad network requests without blocking literally all logic that can run on a page, which works great as an interim solution.
And the long term solution to advertising and tracking is legislation, not throwing out a computer's ability to compute.
Lmao, oh yes, let's go back to the golden age of every app having all of its logic running on centralized servers, rather being able to easily create cross platform client side distributed applications.
The "no-js" philosophy is fundamentally at odds with a future of distributed, OS agnostic, application development.
It remembers the web when the web was simpler, and ignores that that was the era of dll hell and applications being locked to specific OSes. The modern web is the most successful cross platform development framework by orders of magnitude,it's all based on open internationally agreed on standards, and it is vastly simplifying and detangling the overall computing environment / platforms that we used to be locked to.
Just use a framework like Nextjs or it's open source off shoots / clones and get the best of both static pre rendering and dynamic on the fly rendering.
This is both factually incorrect, and ignores the original point.
First of all, no you cannot just run an automatic WAI ARIA checker. That will highlight some surface level basic structural issues but in no way is adequate testing for a pleasant accessible UX.
Secondly, modern frameworks like React and Angular have the same ARIA validation utilities. It does not matter whether components are loaded in dynamically by the framework as long as they're defined in the codebase where linters and code analyzers can run.
Thirdly, you're ignoring the actual point that is being made. You know as well as I do, that virtually nowhere actually puts serious effort and usability testing into websites making sure their websites are accessible, and that directly impacts the lives of millions of people who are cut off from the world of technology because of a disability.
Until you're making all of your websites and apps accessible by second nature (i.e. until at a bare minimum you have your Web Accessibility Specialist certification), then focusing your time and efforts on catering to a niche ideological no JS crowd is quite frankly somewhat cruel and self serving.
I think you're right in the abstract, but in Israel's specific case, they've slaughtered, literally, tens to hundreds of thousands of civilian Palestinians.
In that context it's really hard to feel that an attack against mixed use infrastructure with potential civilian casualties is a terrorist attack or a war crime.
When Ukraine bombs a road and it kills Russian civilians is that a terrorist attack?
The distinction is that it's not 'something to do with neurons', it's 'neurons firing and signalling each other'.
Like, we know the exact mechanism by which thinking happens, we just don't know the precise wiring pattern necessary to recreate the way that we think in particular.
And previously, we couldn't effectively simulate that mechanism with computer chips, now we can.
Assuming that the path to AGI involves something akin to all the intelligence we see in nature (i.e. brains and neurons), then modern AI algorithms' ability to simulate neurons using silicon and math is inarguably and objectively a precursor.
