1·8 hours agoAnd by that definition you include every website on the planet. Your blog, the comment section of your local news, etc.
Just because you think that news sites comment sections aren’t included doesn’t mean that definition doesn’t include it, cause it does. That applies to that entire definition.

Programming@programming.dev•JADEx: A Practical Null-Safety Solution for Java
1·8 hours agoWhat makes kotlin different from any other language in that regard? It’s better to use an IDE that supports the language than a plain text editor that has no tooling. That’s just a fact of programming.

2·1 day agoI have tailscale set up. I’m not gonna have my wife be using tailscale. And I’m also not going to be using tailscale all the time. I even have an exit node on my server.

4·1 day agoCan you give an example of the sort of regulation a social media site should need to follow which Amazon should be exempt from? Or the sort of rule that should bind reddit and Facebook but not Amazon?
A better question is what sort of legislation should apply to every website on the planet, without exception. Because that’s what the current definition does, makes the law so broad as to be pointless. Why are laws being passed that affect every website, when the problem is a few very massive websites.

9·1 day agoIt’s a forum. Just like all the other forums before it. It just happened to get very popular. To be clearer: if you define Reddit as social media then you are including almost every single website on the planet. It makes the definition completely pointless.
Regulations shouldn’t be defined in this way.
Or for Dolphin users.

40·2 days agoI’m just going to repeat myself for the hundredth time here. This is exactly what happens when you define words in such broad terms. Social media does not include things like discord. It doesn’t include Reddit, it doesn’t include Lemmy. But because so many damn people just refer to any site that they can talk with other people on as social media, it became enshrined in law and now literally every service you touch is legally defined as social media.
This is not hyperbole; with the current definitions across numerous countries, Amazon (the place where you buy things, not other services like games) is legally defined as social media.
Words mean things and when words are hijacked for other purposes it allows governments to strip away your rights without you realizing.

5·2 days agoSimple: “do you trust Amazon to not give away private pictures of you getting home late at night or leaving early in the morning? What happens when Amazon thinks that you’ve committed a crime you know you haven’t? Your own devices will be used against you, your friends, and your family. It isn’t if, but when.”
I’m referring to the text “we are Charlie kirk”. The sentence makes no sense.

1·2 days agoThere are studies. Hence the multiple cheating scandals, because we know how small of a change can massively affect your flight. Here’s one:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12611860/
Changing the suit circumference by +2 cm increased the lift area (𝐶𝑙𝐴) by ∼5% and the drag area (𝐶𝑑𝐴) by ∼4%. This was simulated to change the jump length by 5.8 m, which corresponds to an increase of 2.8 m/cm in suit tolerance, for a reference jump of 130 m
2.8 meters for every increase in a single centimeter of circumference.
