Games of chance are absolutely moral and completely fine when played by adults who are not mentally incapacitated.

Why exactly? Why are these games of chance moral only if the government gets a cut?

>The "I'm okay being miserable as long as you're more miserable" crowd has always had a strong showing in this country.

If the choices are "I am miserable whilst my enemies are happy" and "I am miserable whilst my enemies are even more miserable", I know what I would choose.

Kernel-level anti cheats are not perfect, but they decrease the amount of cheaters to the point where they stop being “common” and become “extremely rare”. An imperfect solution is much better than no solution.

What are the chances phones in 10 years won’t be able to connect to the cars with CarPlay or Android auto from today.

Nowhere in my comment do I say that.

Consider you may be spending too much time reading West-aligned news sources.

Piracy is a service problem. Maybe if this is happening at such a scale, cigarettes are too highly taxed.

People throw “Anti-regulation” around in HN as if it were a slur.

That doesn’t seem to give me much freedom about my data - in fact it seems like it took freedom away from me.

I thought people here hated it when LLMs made http requests?

Linux is a kernel. We don’t have a usable operating system to go with it besides Android.

This law was supposed to give me control of my data. If I have control of my data, why can't I use it to pay the owner of the website?

I mean, it's entertainment content. It's like saying a movie is fake, they are actors playing roles. Of course. Who cares?

So like everywhere else?

Because the product is X Chat. The author made a typo in the headline.

Or maybe it was on purpose - the only reason I clicked is that I thought this was about irc.

Mirrors my experience with AirDrop.

Only an academic could come up with something as stupid as this.

In the meantime, in the US the IQ threshold for mental retardation had to be changed in the 70s from 85 to 70 because of reasons.

Usually these projects only contain a copy of the source code to build the binary. You still need the game assets like the levels and sounds to play the game.

I thought that bluesky only showed you posts from people you follow so why go through the effort of blocking someone whose posts you’ll never see?

AI is bad and therefore everything that is bad was made using AI.

He hopes for what benefits him. Would you rather see him lie and say he hopes people wouldn’t use his platform to pay for groceries?

For some reason BMW is missing a very good one.

Not very novel if you understand that these attacks would work just as well on human drivers (not to mention they are blatantly illegal)

> The problem is that both sides of the equation are constructs of the mind

No, they are not. And when we take into account that they are not, the whole argument breaks down.

One man’s hate is another man’s love.

This unlocked some memories. I remember on my system the chroma colour not being green but some very dark shade of grey that was almost black but not really black… something like #010101

Maybe the Firefox team should stop doing bad things if they don’t want people saying bad things about them.
