Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

They also like his “Christian values”… AKA banning abortion

I’m hoping to be fully self-hosted by then.

For now… Do you really think they’re immune to enshitification if they become more popular?

Good point. Also, would she be more of a victim if she was watching TikTok videos on how to babyproof the kitchen? Or tips on how to changing diapers or pump breast milk?

Does that make Excel the operating system? Or is it the firmware/BIOS

That’s probably cause the userbase was flooded with bots to make up the difference

Everything but the climate catastrophe were facing …

Hydroponics, when combined with indoor, vertical farming, is the reason that the Netherlands are one of Europe largest exporters of food. Even though they’re one of the countries with the least amount of farmland.

Copper wires are expensive. And you need to house those wires in aluminum pipes. That’s a lot of metal that you no longer need to buy. Especially considering how many light switches in our homes.

Add in the fact that donations can also be funneled into political campaign funds… And you get one America.

It incentivises stupidity, and controversial opinions, which gets more views and makes the “influencer” money.

I bet age, weight, and height were probably bigger factors than the voice. Also larger people probably have a lower voice.

TBF, many people ain’t got no brain neither
