This does much more harm than good IMO - splintering the community at such a sensitive time of growth is a bad idea.

Hopefully there’ll be the ability to block images in comments and posts, and better tools for blocking / detecting spammers, and cross-instance bans, auto-moderating hyperlinks, etc. soon.

But the demand for unilateral access to other communities’ content is disturbing. The Lemmy federation works because of reciprocity.

Definitely won’t be recommending beehaw for new users now.

I think the EU should fund the research and disallow genetic patents, but allow companies to do the production themselves.

Same, I thought it was an April Fools’ joke at first.

That is irrelevant to the effective ban on gene-editing and CRISPR though. They can do the same thing with hybrids, etc.

I do agree with some of your post though, but even efforts to control fertiliser over-use are really difficult to manage.

But how would they know? It’s like Blade Runner.

Nah, it’s a scam if you look into it. They spend it all on “AI Safety” and “Existential Risk” bullshit.

It’s a shame as the general concept is cool with microloans and crowd-funding, etc. but it’s really been taken over by that crowd.

Europe has donated around ~$150 billion USD (including from member states). That’s almost an entire year’s EU budget, over 20x the ESA’s annual budget (wtf), and over 20x the EU’s 6-year contribution to ITER (double wtf).

The money comes from somewhere and Europe is broke.

The US needs to stop shirking their duty, and send the military in. They are making an absolute fortune off LNG and weapons exports, they should take the responsibility to help.

EDIT: Also rich for Poland to complain about this when they are the biggest leech of EU funds in the Union. It’s absurd that there are only ~9 net contributors to begin with.

Seems weird to push it more, even with all the issues BG3 has had supporting both models.

That said, with the high inflation and crazy hardware prices (especially here in Europe) it’s nice to see some gaming hardware available on a reasonable budget.

I wish they’d make it more open though like the Steam Deck is. It feels so stupid having like $350+ of good hardware and then not being able to use it to easily do whatever you want.
