Easier for them to let go of video games than guns I guess… which for sure are way more accessory to the shooting.

This is literally how I’m getting my directors to stop pestering me about how complex my shit is. Dumbing it down and translating my messages for them. Works wonders.

Insane. Extremism is never the sign of a sane mind whatever the topic.

Haaaa yeah the lure thing… I do the same across the board xD I also try to catch all possible fish species at every location with all possible techniques. It’s very very soothing.

I’m a world class nerd and reclusive millennial but fishing and going to the river is the one outdoor destination that actually purge my stress levels.

It seems a lot of humans still require it though, that’s the whole problem imho. If everyone was on the same page it would have disappeared or be no more than folklore same for the rest of legends and such like.

But a lot of humans still have a long way to go and waaaayyyy too many are preying on them while too little of us are steering towards betterment…

Woaaaa nice maybe this will increase the reach of VR :)

Key point in my opinion is the definition of « what things » should be so tightly regulated wrt to age for one thing. I doubt access to porn by minors is a proven societal problem and even more so that the proposal to solve via the verification mechanism is proportionate.

This reeks of puritan religious bullshit.

Anecdotally I didn’t turn out to be a psycho as much as my relatives that piously shy away from porn.

Damn you guys are making me doubt my sanity way too much with these posts…

Yeah definitely a good idea. Routing your mobile traffic through it so your carrier cannot access your traffic and the services you don’t want to share location with can’t snoop as much on you.

I’d say it’s about designing a good strategy. I have local backups on my NAS and a nightly incremental backup to cloud locations from there. That way the capture from my local equipment to the NAS is lightning fast and it’s not a big deal to have it take a few hours to reach the cloud. Also having a NAS on a power backup is a must-have.

True, it’s not at all stage where it’s likely to be a problem. The army of very old persons isn’t at the door just yet ;-)

Same for me. I started to chit chat a bit here and there just to have some more activity but I miss a community I like to be part of.

True. Related to that I wish there were more engagement on lemmy. Most of the posts in my stream have zero replies or 1 and it’s the bot. But let’s keep smaller numbers - quality over quantity.

Meh. Not like there are shareholders to appraise of growth…

For niche content creators that aren’t in the million of subs what they get isn’t even subsistence money… hence their merchs. Those are not ads inserted in the video stream but screen space below the video… easily ignored especially compared to actual ads.

It’s less ads and more your youtuber’s shop… you pay YouTube premium to get rid of their ads but you don’t pay your content creator… maybe if there was a subscription patreon-like it would be equivalent.

That’s a bit of an extreme take on the topic… not wanting ads from the broadcaster is one thing, not wanting to be separately presented with the promotional items of the youtuber himself is something else. I like seeing what the guys I follow are putting out. Maybe a 2nd option in ads content would be appropriate for you but don’t throw everyone in the same bag…

My personal favourite remains perl for anything text oriented or for simple-ish orchestration.

Damn. Before giving the shit to my indians teammates I need to know what the chart would look like in Belgium. But hopefully we’re doing better. Also how to you discuss this subject not sounding like a fucking racist?
