Debate wrap up: No one has ever so thoroughly dominated Donald Trump
  • It's disappointing that all it took for a headline like "no one has ever so thoroughly dominated Donald Trump" was a question-dodging stereotypical politician. I was very frustrated by the entire debate. Trump's word salad and Kamala's deflection kung-fu... but I understand that I am not the only person in the US, so emotionally charged anecdotes instead of clear answers are what wins the day. But still...

  • Moderation conflict involving c/vegan
  • I am not a vegan, but I do try to make food choices that are as ethical and healthy as I can... or at least as far as I can afford.

    Cats are carnivores. Fact. This is not debatable. But I think you could also meet or exceed a cats nutritional needs from other sources. Whether those sources are readily available and whether a person is sufficiently meeting those needs... that's another can of worms.

    Generally, I'd argue that if you are hell-bent on a vegan diet, then you should not own carnivorous pets. No matter how well meaning you are, there is a significant chance that you will inflict harm on your pet, and that is unacceptable.

  • ELI5: What should I do about the newest privacy stuff in Firefox?
  • PPA, or Privacy Preserving Attribution, is supposed to be a more-private alternative to cross-site tracking. Mozillas idea was: what if we could give advertisers metrics without compromising individuals privacy? Honestly, it doesn’t really impact you as a user or your privacy.

    The problem is:

    1. Sites will continue to use cross-site tracking techniques anyway.

    2. This feature was enabled for everyone without their consent or giving them an option to choose.

    You can disable it, though…

    1. Settings > Privacy & Security > Website Advertising Preferences.

    2. Uncheck “Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement”

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.
  • No matter how you feel about Apple in general, Apple TV boxes are really the only way to go these days. Everything else is designed to aggressive sell to you whether you like it or not.

    It's either that or use something like a Raspberry Pi and settle for websites, which also have a habit of streaming you lower-quality content.

  • Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI
  • AI is a neat toy... but that's all it is. It's horrible at almost every real-world application it's been forced into, and that's before you wander into the whole shifting minefield of ethical concerns or consider how wildly untrustworthy they are.

  • How?
  • I read a Rabbi’s take once, that he believes Genesis 1 is based on a vision that YHWH gave to one of the prophets (it was added later than the second creation story). He argued that it’s not supposed to be envisioned from a cosmic perspective, which is something of a modern take, but a terrestrial one, as if “figuratively standing on the earth - a cloud of dust - as God forms everything around it.” So the creation of light is the sun, but the sun isn’t visible unless the sky begins to clear.

    Just thought I’d share that take. I always thought it was an interesting one.
