The stock went down when Tesla's sales numbers for the first quarter of 2025 got out and showed a decrease of sold vehicles, on top of Musk's shenanigans and the protests at Tesla showrooms. Now these events have been "priced in" and the stock operates on vague estimates and wishful thinking again until the next slew of substantial bad news hits, at the latest when the next quarterly numbers are due.

Back when the mod team of c/Ghazi decided to leave Reddit and moved to Blahaj.Zone's Lemmy, the strict moderation was one of the reasons we did so: Vocal minorities can far too easily spoil the enjoyment for everybody else. A tight moderation is the only way to prevent that from happening and personally I am glad to be a part of Blahaj.Zone

Thanks to Ada, Supakaity, all the mods of the communities on Blahaj.Zone and everybody else around here for making it such a unique site!

If anyone wants on deep dive into the topic, I recommend this video essay by Cal Does Life.

AFAIK the importance of the proteasome for the immune system has already been established quite a while ago. If I understand it correctly this new research digs deeper into the processes in the proteasome as "the cellular mechanisms underlying [the generation of antimicrobal peptides] are not fully understood" (Quote from the actual research paper). So this new research fills a knowledge gap and is thus very valuable, but - no - the scientists do not claim to have "discovered a new part of the immune system". That's just hyperbole for the sake of generating clicks for the article.

No Jar Jar is safe from him.

The links to the registration do not work for me.

It's a very strange coincidence that these are the subreddits that are suddenly experiencing a "bug".

Chanel No.5 suffers from the problem that it was originally made over 100 years ago. While the scent of No.5 did not change much, lots and lots and lots of products that came later imitated the scent of the (at the time) prestigious No.5. So it's not necessarily a case of "No.5 smells like soap", rather than "soaps smell like No.5". And No.5 can't escape the position it founds itself in without becoming something else entirely.

And that's the difference between classical conditioning (the dogs being trained to sensory input by Pavlov) and operant conditioning (Pavlov training himself through his own behavior).

I am still struggling, but I also realize that I have come a long way in the last few years.

I also wish you all the best and to be able to free yourself from the prejudices that others force on you.

Yeah, internalized shame is a hell of a thing, but - at least in my view - it is good to realize that it is forced upon us and not something that comes from within ourselves. It is hard to unlearn, but very liberating to do so, even if the possibilities to live the way we want is limited.

It's not brain rot if the internet is an outlet where you can be who you truly are. It's the rest of the world that is fucked for forcing people to hide their interests and identity.

Disgusting! Tell me, where do the furries find those naps, so that I can avoid them!?

Because this confuzzled me, note that the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are two separate things.

The Digital Markets Act is the one which is meant to remove economic barriers by "gatekeepers". For example the DMA is used to force Google and Apple to open their app stores.

The Digital Services Act is the one that regulates (among other things) moderation, political neutrality and removal of extremist content on social media platforms. That's the one Thierry Breton oversaw and threatened Elon with.

So while exTwitter's lawyers may sigh in relief, because they got out of the DMA; the DSA is still looming large.

The trailer for the movie for those interested.
