Fox was not a name I expected to see on there given all they've done to supercharge the right-wing, but I suppose even Murdoch isn't crazy enough to actually think that it is a good idea to put Trump back in office

Fellas is it gay to drink a milkshake with a straw?

Seriously though, how else are you meant to drink one??

Image manipulation has always been a thing, and there are ways to counter it...

But we already know that a shocking amount of people will simply take what they see at face value, even if it does look suspicious. The volume of AI generated misinformation online is already too damn high, without it getting more new strings in it's bow.

Governments don't seem to be anywhere near on top of keeping up with these AI developments either, so by the time the law starts accounting for all of this, the damage will be long done already.

So the idea behind the ruling is that a lack of non-competes would cause irreparable harm to the companies themselves...

As opposed to the current system that causes harm to the workers, causing them to be unable work in their field of expertise for an arbitrary amount of time, in which they're expected to just find work in a different industry they're not trained in to feed their families.

If these monoliths work as well practically as they do here in a small-scale test, then we might actually have a chance at minimising the damage done by unregulated release of PFAS, which would be good for all of us.

Having said that, I do fear that the rise of these "fix it in post" environmental solutions will be used by big bads to justify the continuation of bad environmental practices because "ThE sCiEnTiStS wIlL jUsT cLeAn It Up AfTeR"

Yeah. If you're on a public forum accessible to anyone, which the whole fediverse is, then you should never assume privacy.

Honestly transparency in this regard would be better - they're already visible to much of the community, so they might as well be visible to everyone.

Votes should absolutely be public. They were on KBin, and it made people more civil for it because you could be shamed if you were dislike trolling or liking all of your own posts/comments to make them look better (which is something you actively have to do on here, unlike Reddit).

Given this place is pseudo-anonymous anyways, and people comment far more personal and identifiable info here anyways (which tbf you should be careful about), I think public votes would do much more good than harm.

What's the point in making something illegal to patent if you can just side-step it by a technicality and enforce a patent anyway?

If the point was to protect food security, then make it illegal to patent regardless of how the breed was created - sorry if you spent more breeding them artificially, food security for the people should be more important than money.

When even the most reviled dictatorships in the world are voting in favour of the UN recognising food as a right, it sure does make the US look uniquely scummy.

The Tories were in power for almost a decade and a half, only interupted by their own internal power struggles, and the best thing they could come up with to "help" Asylum seekers was the racist and inhumane Rwanda scheme.

Yet Labour repeals that and suddenly they're the bad guys for not being able to undo over a decade of bad decisions in a month.

Conservatives can't see past their own racist noses.

Damn, I would've expected this kind of rhetoric from "ReformUK" or one of the other alt-right parties, but to hear this from someone meant to be representing labour is horrid. Such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries - deport people like her to Rwanda then see how they feel about what they're advocating for.

Edit: Also, glad to see a new alternative frontend for Xwitter since Nitter got nuked out of existence.
