Have a migraine and am struggling to parse this. Iraq?

Pretty sure another study found Xylitol might have the same issue. I'm personally avoiding sugar alcohols at this point. That said, it severely limits sweetener options for people that have blood sugar issues.

I watch a sketch comedy group that gets abused by YouTube's moderation. Some of their stuff leans edgy, but the moderation and demonetization seems pretty arbitrary. There is no viable appeal process or viable alternative platform. Reminds me of how Google controls the Play store and removes open source projects for arbitrary or spurious reasons.

I take less issue with aggressive moderation and more issue with the lack of infrastructure to handle the concept that the first line ai decision might be wrong.

Adding to that - Google's effective monopolization of "amateur" video distribution, and coincidentally monopolization of app distribution and monetization on the 70% market share mobile platform, makes it more problematic that the company is unanswerable to moderation mistakes.

Perfect is the enemy of good. There is no scenario where cars are getting banned in most of the world where EVs are being sold.

Apple has turned out to “prevent the chrome monopoly” far more effectively then firefox has.

Turns out that owning the platform (Android, iOS) counts for a lot. I like having an independent option.

Technically true, but FOSS isn't "free" in the sense that someone is contributing labor to build and maintain the software. Free to use, but not free to make. I personally wouldn't expect or shame a person for using FOSS without contributing. But if you make a profitable business off a FOSS project, it seems reasonable to expect some form of contribution back to the project - not because it is technically required, but because who better to sponsor a project than someone profiting from it?

Sad news. Here is a link to an impact study (PDF), which describes many (all?) of the projects that benefited from funding. But a few you may recognize include Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon:

I always find responses like this funny. You know how old you are, but (mostly) nobody reading the comment does. You could be anywhere from 11 to 50!

I mostly blame Apple for walling off the default text messaging app on the iOS platform. It is ridiculous to me that we are over 10 years into the smartphone era and are stuck in a duopoly with two players that would rather degrade communications between platforms than prioritize interoperability for some base level functionality. I hope that Beeper's campaign forces regulation that puts an end to the insanity.

You can point out back and forth violence going into the 1800s. Nobody has clean hands in this conflict.

I think the headlines play on mushrooms for outrage and clickbait. It makes readers feel better that there is something tangible that can be "controlled" rather than a hard to define cause of someone's seemingly functional brain misfiring badly.

Another article said he did shrooms 48 hours before the flight.
