@Kingu I mean ignoring how dumb it is conceptually, and the general issues with death penalties. Just ignoring those.
How many suicide bombers have there been in the UK in the last tens years?
I mean giving her more benefit than she deserves (stop wasting tax payer money on non issues) one could argue that planning a suicide bombing should carry that sentence. Or preferably those at the top of the chain.
But even then it feels like just blabbering right wing word salad.

What about legally forcing AI company to add some invisible watermark to all images and video they hallucinate so they could be programatically recognized?
Also, I 'm talking about legally forcing, not just placing a field there to use, if you wants...
+++++ PODCAST NEWS +++++ If you are a group of three to five white cishet males in your thirties, it is mandatory to produce a podcast over a niche topic or just general talking. We clearly don't have enough podcasts of three to five white guys talking with each other. FNR - All the Fedi News you need!
@fnr but if you have a group of five cishet guys, should you start a podcast or burger joint?
@pastthepixels@is.potatoe.ca Please start a burger joint!
we have enough badly produced, uninteresting Podcasts
@fnr okie!
@pastthepixels@is.potatoe.ca Don't forget to all get a man bun, a beard and a very fancy website which is basically unusable
@heredos@heredos.net Please tell us that this is a joke. Please!
Please... For my fucking sanity please tell me that not some cis het white dudes are really discussing feminism and making this discussion public in a podcast.
CHECKMATE!!
That’s a circular oxymoron argument. People don’t believe they will sprout wings and fly, but that doesn’t mean we have a hidden set of wings. Something does not need to be real for you not to believe in something. Sadly, something does not need to be real, for you to believe either.
@Linux HERETIC!!!
@Kingu
Atheists do not believe in the existence of God. Those who have created a concept without any supporting evidence behind it are the ones who must give explanations for their action, not atheists.
this is just so sad...
... argh, electro swing was a trap
get this, by trying to get their ai not to be "woke" they accidentally made it even more woke
Politician: If elected president, I will bring down the price of groceries on day one.
Reporter: You're not just gonna bring the price down on your first day in office and then let prices skyrocket after that, right?
Politician: Shit, shit, shit.
@lowqualityfacts it's funny because in real life they just say prices will go down and then it just doesn't happen

nooooo my niri :(
yup, this looks ugly af.
but it's fine, it's foss, i'm not gonna complain
@heredos@heredos.net tbh i kinda love the "it looks like shit but works amazingly well once you get the hang of it" kind of software
@heredos@heredos.net its also usually the kind of software that feels like sth made by someone with adhd hyperfixation at 5am and handles every single possible edge case
me :3
i tried signal, i cant login on multiple devices at once,
literally unusable 0/10
@heredos i tried to login on another phone and it logged me out of the first one :/
Cloudflare's AI chatbot is very useful for what I assume was 100% its intended purpose
I kept pushing it both about a "cloudflare cuddles" service as well as asking if cloudflare WAF has anything to do with foxes, cuddly foxes specifically 
mr @ROllerozxa : its somewhat impressive how resistant it is , however this one managed to get this
mr @ROllerozxa : think its because they dont let the bot keep history , which makes the bot not that useful
@minekpo1 they could have probably just made do with a search field that goes to the docs, but that wouldn't be ✨ fancy AI ✨ , would it...
@ROllerozxa@hachyderm.io keep asking
@Stellar what if it retaliates by signing me up for Cloudflare's Enterprise tier 
@ROllerozxa@hachyderm.io
YOU'RE LOGGED IN???
@Stellar Yes I have also given Cloudflare my real name, home address, phone number, debit card information and also they asked me for sperm samples but I just politely declined that. What could go wrong? I also do all my browsing over Cloudflare WARP. no real reason, just felt like it. I am MITM-pilled and Cloudflaremaxxed.
@ROllerozxa@hachyderm.io as the CFO (chief foxxo officer) here at moth.monster i can confirm that we do in fact offer cutting-edge CaaS (cuddles as a service) on all of our offerings
@ROllerozxa you need to see this https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/19288346
@engel OMG that's crazy
@ROllerozxa did you see the whole comment? xD
say what you want about yanderedev and his meme bad programming, but .. atleast he wrote the code himself and didnt just ask an AI to do it
the code is ironically like the one part of that game that he actually made himself 
@Li@tech.lgbt yanderedev code isn't that functionally bad, it's just unmaintainable and does a lot in the wrong place. the whole meme about if chains is not really a problem because CLR IL maps it to a giant jump list.
@ada i actually agree, the fact its built using an old unity version is also very silly complaint after looking at quite a few 'recent' games unity asset packs and realizing their really outdated too,
also ngl i've seen yanderedev-tier code in fucking tons of projects, like iirc; minecrafts gui functions are very wtf
@ada tbh i think? alot of yanderedev hate is:
- big popular guy who its fun to hate on
- kind of generally shitty, (not taking criticism well, weird / uncomfy mechanics, SA-ing someone)
- game in development forever
- mostly reused / copied art,
and so on, i feel most who say bad code dunno how to code, as its more hard to maintain code as you said .. its probably not actually whats slowing down the game
i dunno about you but if i added some feature and the response from everyone was to try bypass or hack my shit to remove it, id take that as a sign that that feature probably isnt wanted, not to try make it harder to hack but maybe thats just me
@Li subpost to what?
is the people behind the fucking ps3 hack fucking magats or something? why is the title on ps3exploit.me "make ps3 great again"
@Li hopefully just because its funny :sob: I didn't realize there was cfw for ps3 thats so neat :D what are u having success with so far?? i've only seen cfw for 3ds and psp
@lumilumi cfw for ps3 is a very old thing, but also everything about it is scattered accross multiple sites and random forums, and its a pain in the ass to find anything,
i mean there is also that it does kind of make the ps3 ... usable.. like .. again
also .. the ps2 hacks played on the whole 'greatness awaits' thing, but erh
so proud of myself rn, i'm woke in just the right ways
OLD THREAD REPOST: A brief history of the practice of "sex verification" in sport.
This thread will mention anti-intersex discrimination, FGM practices and body shaming.
The story of sex verification in sport begins with the original Olympic games in Ancient Greece. Let us take you back to around 400BCE, and a woman named Kallipateira...
The original Olympics were distinctly men-only. Women weren't even allowed to cross the river Alpheios during the Games. The penalty was death if they dared.
Kallipateira was a widow, and her son was boxing in the Olympics. She wanted to support him, so disguised herself as his trainer.
Her son won, and Kallipateira was STOKED. To celebrate, she jumped over a fence to congratulate him. And in what was probably a hilariously slapstick pratfall, her clothes fell off, exposing her as a woman.
Remember, the penalty for a woman being anywhere near the Olympics was death.
Luckily, the story had a happy ending. Everyone was so stoked for the son and they respected her deceased husband, so they let Kallipateira live.
But to ensure it never, never happened again and the Olympics remained free from girl cooties, a new rule was introduced: like competitors, trainers had to attend the Games naked.
Getting naked, as we'll see later in the thread, is going to be a recurring theme of this history of "sex verification".
We'll now fast forward about two and a half millennia to the 1930s, when concerns began to be raised about men disguising themselves as women to compete in women's categories.
At least three men did compete in women's categories in the 20s and 30s, but not in the direction of their concerns: Zdeněk Koubek, Mark Weston and Heinrich Ratjen were assigned female at birth, raised as girls and were what we might call trans men in today's language.
All three men were living as women when they competed in the Olympics, but later changed their names and pronouns. Koubek and Weston had genital reconstruction surgery, and Ratjen said he'd known he was a boy since he was a child.
It's likely that all three athletes were intersex.
By the 1950s, it was decided that women competing in sport should submit to sex verification. In the 50s, this took the form of what was known colloquially as "nude parades". It did what it said on the tin. Women stood before someone who inspected their naked bodies.
These tests were mandatory. If you wanted to compete, you had to show your naked body to strangers.
In 1968, the method of testing changed to something less invasive but still problematic: chromosome testing. All athletes competing in women's categories were tested for the presence of a Y chromosome.
This practice of mandatory chromosome testing at the Olympics continued until the late 1990s, with one single, solitary woman exempted: Princess Anne.
It was deemed "inappropriate" for the Princess Royal, daughter of the Queen, a descendant of Odin, to have to undergo sex verification, when every other woman athlete had to submit to the process in order to compete.
The consequences for "failing" a sex verification test have been dire. Women were banned from competing, shamed and humiliated and subjected to endless speculation about their bodies. Intimate medical details of women were leaked to the media, and for some athletes, even long after their careers were completed, details of their genitals would be published, taken from autopsy reports.
This is, presumably, why it was decided it would be very inappropriate to subject a princess to such treatment.
After mandatory chromosome testing fell from favour "sex verification" shifted once again. It is now undertaken on the basis of "suspicion". Testing focuses more on hormones than chromosomes.
In 1996, the last blanket testing Olympics, 1 in 429 women athletes were found to have complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, where you have a Y chromosome but develop with a vagina, vulva and breasts as your body doesn't react to testosterone.
In the general, non-athlete population, incidence of CAIS is more like 1 in 20,000 people. So is testosterone really even that much of a performance enhancer if women who don't respond to it are overrepresented in sport? That's unclear.
What is more clear is that the problems which existed in the past of sex verification continue to persist. Intimate medical details are leaked. Invasive and medically unnecessary procedures are undertaken. There are reports of women athletes undergoing sterilisation procedures and partial clitoridectomies (removal of part of the clitoris) in order to compete.
In the 1960s, suspicions about women and leaking of private information focused disproportionately on women from Eastern Europe.
In the present day, there remains a discrepancy, but focus has shifted to scrutiny and speculation on women from the Global South.
Concerns about privacy, discrimination, coercion and informed medical consent surrounding the practice of sex verification have been raised by human rights groups, although the practice persists.
In the entire history of formalised sex verification in women's sport from the 50s to the present day, do you know how many instances of men disguising themselves in order to sneak into women's sport they've found? Zero.
And in men's sport, the practice of sex verification has not existed at all in the two and a half millennia since the story of Kallipateira.
@vagina_museum Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
@johnelalamo @vagina_museum so if i understand correctly .. the evil men "sneak into womens sports" then do .. absolutely nothing notable while there, .. and everyone gets by just fine?
since otherwise we'd atleast know something happened even if not 'who' or whatever .. or ..
look ok you probably dont need a vpn unless your trying to bypass a ip-based region lock or like idfk evade ip bans or something somewhere, or some other extremely specific usecase ..
and if your interested in trying to stay private or annoymize your traffic, you should probably use tor (maybe with a bridge too .. ) instead
@Li still needed in the uk even if you take discord out of the equation
@ElliesSurviving true, but wouldn't tor also do that, it just needs to be "not uk" not anywhere specific (like for e.g region locking)
@heredos no because whatever shitty geo-ip database shit their using will report the region as "tor" if its an exit node
