It was a me problem. I had been logged out and not noticed. I am so sorry.

@emperor@feddit.uk - is this a me problem or a feddit.uk problem?

I learnt that over a decade ago.

Don’t buy a Ubisoft, EA, or frankly any big publisher game.

Oh no way - awesome and thank you.

Edit: still won’t work for me. Are we sure it’s not a user error on my end or is this really the right way to fetch a remote instance?

I hate how awkward it always seems to be trying to fetch a remote community.

What am I doing wrong?

TIL thanks.

What’s the difference?

Sir, this is a shitpost.

Stop. Please stop. Doomerism compounds the problem, it is not a neutral stance.

Has irreparable damage already been done? Yes.

Will it be worse if we don’t do anything as soon as possible? Yes. And each moment that we don’t do the thing, it gets a little bit worse.

But each moment we do do the thing, it gets a little bit better.

The Earth will relatively be 1.5°, likely 2°C hotter, regardless of what actions are now taken. But 2°C hotter is far, far preferable to 4°C.

Everything we do as individuals and societies matters. I understand it feels daunting, and I’m not really advocating for you to drive less or eat less meat, because ultimately these changes won’t be driven by individuals making the choices.

However, please please please support and push, protest, fight for societal changes for us collectively to drive less, eat less meat, and corporate carbon taxation.

I get that it’s not necessarily simple, however… Firstly, surely streaming companies could push for a standard formatting to make their lives easier. And second, why does a track that was previously explicit suddenly start playing as the clean version one day? Why is the data for it continually being changed?

Oh my God, thank you for the confirmation.

But I don’t understand - it’s inconsistent. Some stuff will be censored and others won’t be?

Cool.

Sorry, you’re quite right - I misread it to begin with.

This paper suggests you’re spot on that they’re not as profitable as other large companies, but they’re still making an awful lot of money on top of the necessary costs.

Except as highlighted, if the drug didn’t make a return on investment it wouldn’t be made. That can be true for government funded research, it’s not necessary to have a profit margin on top.

First off - that act was vile. Please edit the title to include a trigger warning of child abuse.

It’s appropriate to feel guilt for it. However, teenagers do do stupid things and your past mistakes don’t have to define who you are today.

The fact you are feeling more guilty and growing self-hatred suggests it is really important to see a professional therapist.

My unprofessional concern is that your self-hatred masks a paedophilic desire, which on one hand at the moment stops you but on the other hand my concern is that if it goes unaddressed you repeat something similar which is so much worse. Maybe not and you’re just naturally feeling guilty of something reprehensible but it is IMPORTANT to make sure.

So, who do you want to be? If you don’t want to be disgusted with yourself or worse repeat this kind of thing, the correct thing to do is to see a professional.

Do this immediately.

Also, I won’t be engaging with this thread further. So please don’t attempt to reply.

Then no.

“Am I allowed to run it to exhaustion?”

Decoy snail.
