Which ones? For, you know, fact-checking. Because all the US movies I've seen lately show a lot more violence than love sex. Maybe you're just watching 80s movies?
It's technically impossible to ensure a complete deletion in a distributed system like the fediverse (which Lemmy is based on). When you post something it's sent to many different servers, which could ignore your delete request afterwards. Also, the users who received it could have read it already, and we don't have the technology to make them forget (yet).
America has two political parties and both are controlled by different foreign governments.
Sure, the blame falls on dirty foreigners. Americans are never at fault for what happens in the US. Horrible healthcare? It's the Russian's fault! ICE killing people on the streets? China! The largest prison population in the world? Eeeh… Peru?
An unspoken rule of the Internet: If a post doesn't specify country, units, server, or time zone, and that information is relevant, then it was written by someone who is unaware of those things. You know, Americans.
In some Catalan dialects you use a special determinate article just for people (en Robert, na Michelle), one for "common" things there could be many of (sa house, es car) and a third for things there's only one of (el Pope, la Reina).
No quantum mechanics. Things have concrete properties even when no one's watching, and they can all be observed at the same time. The universe is complex but understandable.
Also, P=NP and π is 3.33 repeating, just for the lols.
If it's decided internally ("bad" is what you believe is bad), then all the objectivists get a free pass for being assholes. Hitler is a supermodel, etc.
If it's decided externally (there's an universal definition of "bad"), how far into the future does it propagate? If I rescue from drowning someone who will genocide all the Dutch in the future, when do I go bald?
That said, beauty pageants would be much funnier, with trolley problems instead of talent competitions.
Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it's hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.
Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.
So for there to be half-decent online privacy laws in the US, first someone will have to leak Clarence Thomas' Pornhub search history or something like that.
Not really, unfortunately. All these "if you don't vote for A you're voting for B" arguments would be a little more applicable if the US presidential election was a simple majority vote, but anyone with the most basic of US politics knowledge has heard of the Electoral College. Hillary Clinton wasn't elected president in 2016, but not because more people voted for Trump.
And that's without taking into the account voting suppression. Would you tell someone who can't vote because of racist laws that they are "voting for Trump"?
I like the ideas behind PRQL, although I've never used it in an actual project. It compiles down to SQL but has a clearer model based on pipeline and a much better suntax.
Malloy is a similar project but I haven't look into it yet.
My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn't for a lot of programmers thinking "my tools are more difficult to use, hence I'm a better programmer".

Way too young, both of them. It'll be Trump vs Hillary 2: Adrenochrome Boogaloo.

How is "being bad" decided?
If it's decided internally ("bad" is what you believe is bad), then all the objectivists get a free pass for being assholes. Hitler is a supermodel, etc.
If it's decided externally (there's an universal definition of "bad"), how far into the future does it propagate? If I rescue from drowning someone who will genocide all the Dutch in the future, when do I go bald?

That sounds very interesting, do you remember the name or the author?
If you're referring to the US' Video Privacy Protection Act, it was passed only because it slightly embarrassed a Supreme Court nominee.

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.
Do you want to go to a video's channel? Well, that depends on where you are:
Go to Home.
Long-press on a video.
Press "Go to channel".
Go to Subscriptions.
Long-press on a video.
Fewer options because fuck you.
Start the video, press down, up, right, select.
Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.
And that's just one example.

Regarding the IP address, how are they going to get it? I assumed that servers wouldn't pass them along to other nodes, isn't that the case?
Look up the Everburn Blade in Baldur's Gate 3.
