For those following along: SEAWATER IS NOT SALINE EITHER. Just making sure we're clear on everything
Technically, I guess the doctor is being given credit for the biological work of a pilot, not a nurse. And nobody likes the pilot.
As the son of a doctor, this is a very funny joke. Good work
This is only sort of true, unfortunately. Polaris is a two-star system: Polaris Aa and Polaris B.
Polaris B is much older than sharks, by several billion years.
Polaris Aa appears to be younger than sharks, at a measley 50 million years old, compared to sharks' 420 million years
HOWEVER it is unclear whether Polaris Aa is actually that young. Scientists believe that, based on some contradictory findings, that measurement may be inaccurate if Polaris Aa is formed from two different stars that merged. In that scenario, the model we use to calculate star age would no longer work and could give wildly inaccurate estimates of the star's true age

Security professional here. This is legit a good call on their part. It's because those types of addresses won't bounce emails but aren't necessarily in your control; it's very, very easy to spam those petition forms with mail@ for a million real domains without bouncing the emails, making them seem legit.
You own your domain, obviously, so it's really as simple as creating a forwarding/alias address of "changeorg@domain.tld". If creating a forwarding/alias address is that much of a problem for you I suggest that you likely shouldn't be hosting your own email in the first place.
Your laziness isn't a good reason to be upset with a company taking steps to reduce their security overhead significantly
Koichiro Ito was the producer, NOT the director who is famous for creating those movies. He collaborated with the studio, he did not write or direct the films. Please do not destroy and undermine these beautiful works of art over a single credited contributor who did not create the films.
Further, he was only arrested in February of 2024 so the studio hasn't even had an opportunity to turn down future collaboration with him.
This is a trash headline and complete click bait
Tourists are not being banned from the geisha district
Tourists will be FINED if they enter PRIVATE STREETS that are not meant for or prepared to handle the tourism industry
The geisha district will remain open to tourists. Full stop.
Sky News is garbage
If people knew what devs said (justifiably) about players when nobody is looking, the internet would implode.
Like, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but holy fuck gamers are the worst about actually knowing how games are made or the consequences of various decisions they want made.
I don't know why 80% of gamers think playing games means they know how to make games, but it infuriates many of us to no end. We get that it's just misguided desire to see the games improve but jfc it makes life incredibly difficult (especially for the CMs)
EDIT: Imagine someone told an architect "You should just remove that load bearing wall. This other building doesn't have one in that position and it's great. Why is it so hard for you?"
The issue has never been that games can't run on Linux. It has always been a simple question of "will the games I want to play run?" More than ever, that answer is yes, but if your favorite game doesn't, or if you never want to worry about "will this upcoming (online) game let me play on Linux?" then you use Windows by default.
Like, I love y'all, but the Linux gaming community on Lemmy is kinda insufferable with the straw-man "people think games can't run on Linux" argument. That's just not the issue
There are lots of reasons to pirate stuff, but this argument in particular boils down to "We should steal stuff now because maybe some day in the future I won't be able to use the paid version after they go out of business." And that is shitty.
You bought it, so go crack it now that the license check is broken and nobody will care. That's GOOD piracy. Support the creators, pirate when you can't or it's unreasonable to pay (more).
Don't just pirate to mitigate theoretical future inconvenience. Do it to circumvent actual inconvenience, or to get things you couldn't otherwise afford, or to say "fuck you" to big, shitty companies.
But pirating from a small-time dev just in case there are maybe license problems far in the future is not The Way
Unsurprisingly, when people are given enough money to make immediate, material improvements to their life, they do.
If you're homeless and miserable, suffering psychological and/or physical pain, and someone gives you $20, the most immediate relief for that suffering is often escapism into things like drugs and alcohol. In situations of extreme distress, humans tend to favor solutions that immediately, if only temporarily, remove the stress. We see this behavior all across humanity.
So the thing you spend money on in that situation iis typically the thing that will, in your belief, most improve your short - and medium-term condition. Give them $20, they'll get alcohol. Give them $500, warm clothes and other durable QOL improvements. $7500? A car. $50,000? Long-term shelter.
Sadly, this study isn't telling us anything that psychologists and social workers didn't already know :/
Hahaha I figured something like but couldn't resist the opportunity :D
