Warnings probably work better on products you’re putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can’t imagine choosing to smoke.
On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.
Case in point
This is… not true. Orrin Hatch said if Obama nominated someone like Merrick Garland, the Republican Senate would approve it. Obama nominated him, then the Republican Senate said “psych.”
The checks and balances were broken by the Republican Senate because they decided “advice and consent” could be abused to mean “wait until there’s a Republican president.”
The public decided the solution to this was selecting a Republican president and keeping a Republican Senate. It’s a perfect plan for Republicans, because people on the left just blame Democrats so that the same pattern can happen again next time.
I liked Devs. It had a dope concept. That show didn’t get much buzz.
Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it’s good enough to trick some people.
Facebook is basically a dinosaur. The demographic that were the first users ran away right around the time when their parents got accounts.
Lemmy users seem older than most social media to me. Why is Star Trek TNG so popular here if not?
Not everyone runs it in the shortest time possible. My longest run is probably close to a half marathon. It wasn’t fast and it was fun. If it weren’t fun, I wouldn’t have done it.
That being said, some people who run it in the shortest time possible probably find it fun too.
Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.
It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can’t hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.
Crispin Glover’s lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.
I think he argues in bad faith. I saw an interview he had with someone who had a disability where they were both arguing against a specific mobility technology because it could have military applications.
Everything can have military applications.
It sort of reminds me of people who don’t care about an arbitrary technology or research (let’s call it Z) and start saying “why are you working on Z, shouldn’t you be working on a cure for cancer instead”
9 times out of 10 the complainer isn’t trying to cure cancer themselves and the researcher doesn’t necessarily have the skillset to immediately switch to curing cancer.
Doesn’t seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.
I’d be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.
Is it Missi Pyle’s husband Casey Anderson?
The picture’s not too clear, but I bet there aren’t a lot of famous people that are best friends with a bear.
If this weren’t gendered I’m not sure I would connect that this was posted as result of people’s reaction to the bears vs men thing.
At the very least, it might be nice if they ask you if you want to go there instead.
On the other hand, I’m just happy that Google Scholar hasn’t gotten completely destroyed by SEO yet.
In fairness, I was thinking specifically of plants. I expect better results when looking up “S. lycopersicum” than “tomato”.
An example off the top of my head is saying pyrite instead of fool’s gold.
scholar.google.com is where you want to go.
Also, in my Google-fu experience technical terms work well for finding better scholarly results.
I think it’s “Best Service Ever”.
The picture on this page seems to have the same screen minus the red box.
Watching the video seems better than reading an article since you get to hear from the patient. It’s in the article, but they posted a Twitter video link.
My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It’s worse than having no lid at all.
