I agree, it's been pretty bad for a few years now at least.

Is there anything like this for kbin?

The IARC ruling [...] is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not [... and] does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume.

From the article. ^^^

This is something people frequently overlook. A substance may be a "possible carcinogen" and also completely benign at levels any sane person would consume.

Bananas also contain carcinogenic material, but eating bananas is still very much a healthy thing to do. There's a reason banana equivalent dose is a concept, and "the dose makes the poison" is a common refrain in toxicology.

Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.

Nutritional yeast is also amazing. Gives it a cheesy flavor, and it's healthy to boot!

The only parts of this video that are relevant to piracy are: 1) does it prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic (it does), and 2) can you trust a VPN when they say they have a "no logging" policy (depends on the VPN but IMO there are several that can be trusted). The rest is just debunking false marketing claims about how VPNs improve your security or whatever.

Agreed. Gaming has become a lot more acceptable over time and with younger generations. This is also true for the gender gap in gamers, which factors into the dating scene.

Someone should make a site where everyone can post their shreds and we can see things like total karma burned or total comments shredded, or top shredded accounts.

At the end of the day arguments for or against a particular solution are going to depend on what threats a person considers most important to protect against and where they're willing to put their trust.

I use GitHub Desktop for 95% of my git needs, terminal for the other 5%

I think there are multiple reasons, but one I want to highlight is Reddit's shift towards driving engagement at all costs.

I used the "new" Reddit for a while, and I noticed that more and more it was trying to recommend posts and communities to me. "Popular with users in your area," "Similar to another community you visited," "You visited this community before". A lot of the time, these would be posts and communities that I didn't like or want on my feed.

I would venture to guess that these recommendations are putting people into contact with communities they wouldn't normally seek out, and since they're not a member of that community (and may even be hostile towards it), you get more people breaking community norms or trolling or antagonizing people, etc...

This is epic level malicious compliance. Best way to run a SFW sub into the ground is opening it up to NSFW content.
