YouTube video of the incident here for those not familiar with Jack Karlson.

There's also a Wikipedia page.

Yes, it is. I have no idea if the guy is telling the truth though, about being the guy responsible. Unfortunate that he shares a name with the Ubisoft executive.

EDIT: Alright, looking at the rest of his responses, he has got to just be a random guy, joking around, hahaha.

I think what the person on Twitter wrote is in response to Rowling going off on a rant about cisgender female boxer, Imane Khelif (from Algeria), in the Olympics, and insisting that she's a man. Rowling's tweet here. There's an article here that outlines the response from the Olympics, and the other female boxer, Italian boxer Angela Carini, who lost to Imane Khelif.

Carini, however, said to reporters after the match: “I wish her to carry on until the end and that she can be happy … I am not here to judge or pass judgment. If an athlete is this way, and in that sense it’s not right or it is right, it’s not up to me to decide.”

And as that article also notes:

It’s also worth noting that it is illegal to be transgender in Algeria – so to peddle the information that the country would send a trans athlete to compete in the Olympics would frankly be laughable if it wasn’t so maddening.

Edit: Forgot to link to the article.

Bruh. Also, if you're gonna make something up, why tf would you choose the phrasing of "combat-aged men"? Weird as hell.

I was curious too, so I went to the Wikipedia page:

The goal is to attain liberation in the body, by sealing in the energy of bindu in the head so that it is not lost.

Haṭha yoga is a branch of the largely spiritual practice of yoga, though it makes use of physical techniques; it was developed in medieval times, much later than the meditative and devotional forms of yoga. Its goals however are similar: siddhis or magical powers, and mukti, liberation. In Haṭha yoga, liberation was often supposed to be attainable in the body, made immortal through the practices of Haṭha yoga. Among its techniques were mudrās, meant to seal in or control energies such as kundalini and bindu. Khecarī mudrā is one such technique.

tl;dr - A spiritual practice of yoga in Hindu metaphysics.

It's supposed to be angels. Abraham Lincoln also used the phrase "the better angels of our nature" in his first inaugural address in 1861, in a plea to avoid civil war.

EDIT: I also don't see the spelling mistake that OP is talking about.

Interesting, and good for the dev!

But it's early access and 40 euros, so not for me at the moment. Still, for those curious, here's the direct link to Steam.

In the same vein, with my family I've been using the analogy of "Imagine that all law enforcement had a key to your home, and they could enter at any time and look through your things, but you wouldn't even know it if they did, or if they took photos or recorded videos of your place to take with them. Their argument is that the only way to keep you and your stuff safe from the bad guys is for the good guys to have access. But because the good guys now have access, it's also easier for the bad guys to get in, because now there's all these extra keys to your home out there, which might fall into the hands of the bad guys."

Not a perfect analogy, but it seems to make them consider the issue from a more personal angle. And for those that argue, "Well, I don't have anything to hide.", I usually counter with "Then why do you close your curtains/blinds when you change your clothes or get out of the shower?" With my dad who grew up during the World War II, it also helped to mention that a law like this, once on the books, will not be easy to overturn, and while he might be fine with our current regime having access to all his data, that might not be the case with future authorities.

Yeah, they look like they're upside down, what the hell. lmao

post is too unfortunately

they don't think it be like it is but it do

I have yet to find a paywalled article, where putting archive.is/ in front of the link, doesn't solve that problem.

Doing that for this article, gave me this link: https://archive.md/KBTlE

Although in the case of this article, you'll have to request the desktop version, if you're using a phone, because otherwise their Read Next box will cover some of the text at the end.

According to the former X insider, the company has experimented with AI moderation. And Musk’s latest push into artificial intelligence technology through X.AI, a one-year old startup that’s developed its own large language model, could provide a valuable resource for the team of human moderators.

An AI system “can tell you in about roughly three seconds for each of those tweets, whether they’re in policy or out of policy, and by the way, they’re at the accuracy levels about 98% whereas with human moderators, no company has better accuracy level than like 65%,” the source said. “You kind of want to see at the same time in parallel what you can do with AI versus just humans and so I think they’re gonna see what that right balance is.”

I don't believe that for one second. I'd believe it, if those numbers were reversed, but anyone who uses LLMs regularly, knows how easy it is to circumvent them.

EDIT: Added the paragraph right before the one I originally posted alone, that specifies that their "AI system" is an LLM.

Oh, man, this really makes me want to re-read the entire series again.

I've recently gotten into audiobooks for the first time in my life. I wonder if there's a quality production of His Dark Materials.

Looking at the source of the comment, OP only hit enter once per extension name they entered, and that's why they're showing up as if they're one long run-on sentence. @Num10ck@lemmy.world probably didn't know that you have to double enter for things to show up on separate lines.

I went ahead and found links for all of them, for anyone curious to check em out. I don't personally know any of them, besides uBlock and Stylebot:

• Adblocker Ultimate
• Ublock Origin
• Enhancer for Youtube
• DeArrow
• Stylebot
• Buster
• Context play/pause

Good question, wish I knew too. Although I didn't even notice at first, because Ive always clicked the comments link.

I feel like their hypocrisy and transphobia can be pointed out even simpler by:

"No!! You can't be in women's sports, because you are a man!!"
and
"No!! You can't be in the military, because you're not... a... man...?"

I think that Firefox (and Firefox forks, like Zen Browser) have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue may just kill support for Firefox if Firefox does permit ad blocking

An argument could also be made that Firefox and its forks have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue won't want to deal with the extra work of keeping those users out.

Das ist der Weg

This is the way, ja?

Canadian one is called Maple Squeakerson

Except if the Canadian is from Alberta. Then the rat is just called dead :')

I always find it hilarious how some people from Alberta grew up thinking that rats were a made up thing for shows and movies. Because why wouldn't they? Haha.

Music, without a doubt. Specifically, being able to choose particular songs to listen to. I'd get pretty miserable after a few days.
