In my experience, the extremism comes from those who are sucked into conservative media no longer adapting to social changes.

Previously, when some new social shift occurred there would be an initial conservative backlash. However, over time as people were exposed to the change they would see that it wasn't actually the end of the world and find ways to adapt their views to find a "new normal" that allowed the old and new to coexist.

That doesn't seem like it's the case anymore. People are fed a constant stream of media designed to keep them afraid of anything that's different such that they don't have a chance to experience the other side and find a middle ground.

Not only conservative media, people are so afraid to really communicate with each other (be tolerant of each others viewpoint), that they constantly cancel each other on the fear of that viewpoint, thus do not give each other a chance to communicate. And things becoming worse each generation, younger generations are not learnt to think for them self anymore.

The mere existence of regulation is part of the problem. Without precise understanding of the law, you don't know if your use cases are fine/excempted. The safe default assumption is that your site is not compliant with regulations until you can prove otherwise, involving a lawyer.

That regulation would not have come into existence if there were no privacy problems caused by the ones that have to comply to the regulations

I first read it the wrong way, as if I had to bear that damaged luxury cars was actually a person in a costume, strange headline.

Get some older friends, they are fun, they have a lot of info, they are generally less scared of consequences so they let you do stupid stuff, they give you room to grow and get wiser, they generally have more money and cause better opportunities. As young person I always were around the generation of my parents and I never regret it, it provided me with the baggage to get through life without too much problems. When middle aged make younger friends to keep you young and to be able to pass on the culture to young people that want to be around older ones.
Yaa101 commented on Why does current flow the opposite way from the electrons?   mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlo... · Posted by u/johncarlosbaez
Yaa101 · a year ago
It does not, it just seems that way. The electron just jumps to an empty slot in the next atom (metals have empty electron slots in their atoms, that is why they conduct energy) and leaves a bit of energy in the current one. So if the electron jumps to the next atom on the right, the current seems to go left.

I am a golang programmer myself, but you can't beat GAMBAS it's GUI programming qualities, it is so effortless to make a great quality prototype for a GUI application.

The language is very complete, even for me a as spoiled (having a very complete standard library) golang user.

GAMBAS is fun without being a childish toy, one can make very serious applications with it.

Wired doing some clickbait meme here, but I heard about the news last week.

My question is, who the hell uses IE still...? And don't give me that one in a million guy stuck with it because he's running Windows 2k Server.

A lot of business intranet software still runs on IE, especially in the far east.

TBH. I'm with facebook on this. It makes me sad to agree with them. But yep a blackout seems the only logical way to deal with these laws.

I've been part of a few projects where we blackout EU locals. Just not worth the risk.
