No. Fuck the KOSA, it’s the equivalent of burning down your house to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

Meta should be liable for their algorithm, no more, no less.

Idk what’s more insane : the fact they are paying, or the fact that $2M would somehow only pay for 54 students worth of scholarship…

$37K per student, seriously !? Where is that money even going to !?

So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it’s worked out well for me.

Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that’s not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.

It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don’t grow locally ; I can’t give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.

Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.

I wish Framework had an option for a mechanical keyboard in there, although I understand that would mess up the whole rest of the design to accommodate it.

I am much more inclined to trust TeamSpeak, but personally I’d rather move personal smaller groups to Matrix, and bigger public communities to Discourse or Lemmy where they are properly indexed and searchable.

I do exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots, and beans ! (and other vegetables, fruits, and legumes)

Eating even the cheapest chicken I could find at LIDL (a little over 10€) would at least triple my food budget.

I think also Americans live in a different world pricing-wise, I have seen some people respond to me with some prices I didn’t think existed.

So I guess the universe where it is expensive is called “Europe”.

Honestly even if you don’t give a fuck about the climate, rice and beams will feed you for less than 1€ per meal ✴️

(though you probably should “splurge” on some spices and/or sauces if you plan on eating the same thing for every meal, no matter what it happens to be)

Exactly what I though. Good luck trying to find a whole entire chicken for 6.45€ anywhere in the EU ; last time I checked LIDL, the cheapest they had was a little over 10€

I didn’t know they sold it for this cheap. But does that price include taxes ? Still a little pricey IMO, but tolerable (only if taxes are included).

$13.99 is a very high price for something that gets you 2 days worth of meal tops. Maybe I’m just a cheapskate though ?

Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that’s a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I’m pretty sure you can’t stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?

To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.

Being vegan is legitimately cheap, I’m not sure why I got downvoted ? It felt like an appropriate place to bring it up, I don’t often mention it online cause I know no one cares x)

My meals legit cost me less than 1€ each.

Can’t you “just” set up openvpn or something ? I’m not sure what CloudFlare tunnels do, I’m a bit of a control freak so delegating to CF always seemed like it’s against my principles or something x)

(Genuinely curious, idk how that stuff works cause I never looked into it)

It’s a little confusing to me how it could be physically possible that there’d be no difference.

I’m not saying I think I could tell which is which, but surely they can’t sound the same ? Or if they do, why do we even use copper, instead of just making cables out of the cheapest random conductive substance available ? Is copper just that substance ?

I agree. We do have to be quite careful about the optics thing, though. It’s not enough to be on the side of the people, the people also have to feel like you’re on your side.

The right has that part down real good, and we’re getting wrecked in many places because of that fact alone.

I don’t even use “being awake” 16 hours a day 😂

This has existed since the 2010s, the patent should never even have been granted to Meta.

Do not give in. If you can’t play it on your machine, do not play it. There are other games, and if all else fails, other hobbies that do respect you.
