Arcka@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•A 2020 law banning plastic bags in Vermont has nearly eliminated their use in the stateEnglish2·14 days agoAgreed, and it’s not like clean energy generation and good wastewater treatment are impossible - just more expensive. Perhaps 10x the normal cost per bag would pay for the difference?
Arcka@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•The alarming rise of US officers hiding behind masks: ‘A police state’English6·14 days agoThank you for the difficult public service you do.
Arcka@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is NotEnglish1·15 days agoIf this is the ruling which causes you to lose trust that any legal system (not just the US’) aligns with morality, then I have to question where you’ve been all this time.

Arcka@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committeeEnglish1·1 month agoThe wealthy ones didn’t need to resort to veterinary medicine - their doctors were willing to be paid to prescribe the human version of those drugs. Legitimate drugs that save many lives, just not helpful against viruses like covid.

Did the Linux gods see what the hardware gods had going on and decide to get in on the action?
Arcka@midwest.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'English2·2 months agoAlternative reasons (not mutually exclusive):
- The organization has outdated policies that make delivering changes difficult.
- The systems used in development and delivery haven’t been invested in enough to automate repetitive steps, optimize workflow, and increase safety of changes.
Again, complex changes are obviously going to take more time, but if the simplest changes take significant time or effort then something is wrong.
Until 2011 you could just watch wifi traffic for all the unencrypted creds/sessions.
Yep. A very different example is here in Minnesota: you can register on election day at the polling place, and one accepted way to identify is having someone “vouch” for you.
Even more strawman arguments. Read back through the comments - I never said anything about fire extinguishers, and am not defending anyone who is lax on safety.
Most enthusiasts are very serious about safety but know that the implementation details are situational.
Accidents are also very rare. If we want to try to reduce the small percentage who don’t take safety seriously, we should start early and make a safety course part of everyone’s schooling.
Is English not your first language? ‘Their’ in that context refers to the person you were replying to: SupraMario.
And as far as Midwesterners and more specifically my political beliefs; while we Minnesotans have a proud tradition of independence, we’re not all Jesse Ventura. Our most popular party is the DFL, which is somewhat distinct from the national Democrat party, and we’ve supported (D) presidential candidates more than any other state. I’m more in the camp of ‘If you go far enough left you get the guns back’. Every gun club I’ve been a member of has had strong membership support of safe handling and storage, but what that looks like differs based on multiple factors such as whether there are children in the household. Not drinking before or during shooting is often in the club’s bylaws.
Really? You shouldn’t have to put in much effort to realize that not every adult has children or has family with children.
The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home. If the guns are behind locked doors away from children, they’re secured.
In most of the US, there is no legal requirement of registering a weapon to a person. I think you’re confusing that with the Wisconsin law restricting the unsupervised use of dangerous weapons by those under 18.

Arcka@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification systemEnglish1·3 months agoDecentralized isn’t the right word to use for a system like this.
Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka “Trusted Verifiers”) for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.

Enabling the ability for purchasers to specify an arbitrary server to connect to would require a design change compared to how most games are recently. That feature used to be standard in the early years of online gaming.
We had online-only multiplayer games in the early 2000s with self-hosted servers supporting over 60 players per map. It’s absolutely possible to do better with today’s tech.
