Even when conversion camp stuff is illegal, people still try it. Even if just DIY abuse (which is also illegal and still common). Simply not having the tech may be preferable to having the tech/knowledge, making it illegal to use it, and then people use it illegally anyways. If child abuse in general was something that could have just not been invented, not inventing it would be far superior to inventing it and then making it illegal.
If we have the tech to change people’s brains in such a way, what else will it gets used on? Ethically, there’s differences between pedophilia and other sexual preferences but I don’t know if there’s any biological differences. Given conversion camps are already a problem despite not working, I can’t see how they wouldn’t become a bigger problem if they did actually do what they claimed…
Are they just using "conservative" as a synonym for something like "political"?
How else will you fit in dozens of ads?
When I look at my subscriptions, I sort by new because it lets me see what I want quicker. Top is filled with old things so I almost never use it. Hot is what I use if not restricting to just subs. Once I’m done looking at what’s new, I’m done. No wasting time on stuff I’ve seen before.
For me, I think the criteria I’d use for saying someone has a decent understanding of math is knowing that math has underlying rules and most things can be understood from those basic rules (each problem is not just an arbitrary magic trick to get an answer that was impossible figure out) and perhaps also being able to ask “novel” questions (compared that what you already know) and taking reasonable steps to answer it with the rules you do know and the tools you have (doesn’t need to be successful). I think counting could be done with any consistent set of sounds and it doesn’t matter whether yours just reading those sounds for a list or not as long as you know roughly what they correspond to in terms of time. I don’t think a lot of humans have much understanding of math, I think some computers already beat a lot of humans with respect to that.
Pwa works just like an app… A bit too well. Would prefer still having some features of web browsers sometimes.
I’m subbed to 34 community, majority aren’t on kbin (they’re on various lemmy instances). Think part of the problem is a lot of the communities I regulared on reddit had a lot of people go to raddle instead of fediverse because like 2 mods (on different subreddits) heard lemmy = tankies and pushed people to raddle instead.
That’s how I used reddit. But kbin is still too inactive for that still (for the communities I primarily engaged with). At least I get a few dozen threads in a day now instead of a couple of thread in a day on my sub list like I did a few weeks ago (mostly from more activity, but also subscribed to some more communities). Hope it’ll get to the point where I rarely use all soon though.
Could just be a best practice type thing. If even like 20% of people strongly believed in such, that would probably be enough to make the communities formed on a relevant instance become the dominant/main community. Would be up to communities to decide how the want to divide things via organic processes.
Exactly, this is why things like stack overflow never came into existence.
If I delete my .id account under right to be forgotten, how is my request propagated between other instances to ensure my data isn’t retained somewhere on another instance which has pulled the data
There’s no way GDPR can tell we hosts they are responsible for other platform’s copy of data, right? Wouldn’t that mean Twitter has to remove tweets from every news article that makes copies, for example, if someone deleted their account under that right?
Mutant might see that as a challenge.
Was expecting the same and I didn’t even know they switched to torx. Philips screws are bad. I go out of my way and spend extra money to avoid them.
