It is not a globally big deal, but I wish I could have heard the conversations between the doctors on my cancer team. Everything went very well in the end, but it got really dicey for a while. It would be interesting to know what they were really thinking and discussing behind the practiced facade they presented to me.

Do we have the stats of a fly? I only speak one language at my current Int.

[-] mangosloth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The fly has maxed out linguistic stats and can understand all languages... But it still has normal fly senses so all you can hear is air vibrations

Oh weird. Can I taste with my feet?

Vasily Arkhipov, as he refused to end the world.

Bretton Woods Conference, 1944, where the US dollar became the surprise winner in the world reserve currency.

That, or Trump’s private meeting with Putin where he refused to bring a US interpreter.

Any decision that condemned themselves for the greater good would be fascinating.

Imagine the dilemma the residence of Eyam faced, knowing what this meant for their own family. Or the Ukraine soldiers at Snake island when faced with insurmountable odds.

I’ve talked with someone who is convinced this is what happened. They make some good points, but belief has to fill the missing pieces… this doesn’t make them wrong, but the gap was enough that the best I could say was “maybe” in response.

It's always a possibility.

The one between St. Augustine and the ruler of Manichaeism. To this day, considering the groups that still exist, it's an extreme mystery why Manichaeism was the group everyone virtually eradicated.

i still want to know who thought it was a good idea to sell user data for profit. i have a present ready for them (hint: it's a pipe bomb)

Many of the services you're thinking of don't actually sell user data. They use user data to target ads.

Want to know who actually sells your personal information? You can start with the direct-mail companies that enable postal spam aka "junk mail". They will happily sell you a list of the names and physical mailing addresses of people meeting whatever demographic criteria you choose to name.

If you ask Google or Facebook to disclose to you the locations of (say) African-American women of childbearing age in the Boston area, they will tell you 404 Not Found. But the direct-mail people will sell you a list of their mailing addresses.

Yes, this service has been used maliciously.

every service with an api can be used maliciously at a large scale. but i am referring to how companies actively invade our privacy to then unsafely store the stolen data.
