why the downvotes?

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social

its basically just that, facts that are low quality

I know, but pretty much every comment on this point about regulation isn’t just discussing food regulations, their talking about regulations as a whole. Also my point about some regulations not helping can still be applied to foods.

I mean look at the stuff they say about ketchup:

The consistency of the finished food is such that its flow is not more than 14 centimeters in 30 seconds at 20 °C when tested in a Bostwick Consistometer in the following manner: Check temperature of mixture and adjust to 20±1 °C.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-155/subpart-B/section-155.194 - section B, part 1.

the flow of ketchup does not matter in the slightest to anyone

…removing regulations that don’t make sense and keeping the ones that do

Having safety regulations for plastic manufacturing and protecting the environment makes sense, so those should exist.

its solved by getting money out of politics, along with removing regulations that don’t make sense and keeping the ones that do

I’d love it if the fediverse could have its own algoithms as long as theyre open sourced and made ethically, like they shouldn’t mess with peoples mental health or cause social media addictions

ik some good people that are still there because some of their friends are.

bluesky is just early twitter, and it wont stay that way for long. they’ve already removed people from there that the Turkish govt doesn’t like and there is nothing at all stopping some billionaire like musk from swooping in and buying it all up.

id get them if they were from framework or something and ran some open sourced AR software

just to point out the other side of this…

(and I already know I’ma be downvoted for just saying that)

Some regulations are bad. Many are good and we actually need them, but some are bad. For example, when there’s a few large companies in an industry, they often lobby for regulations designed to increase the cost of doing business. While the big fish can pay the costs of these extra regulations, smaller companies cant, and just cant compete with the big fish, lowering the amount of competition in the industry and promoting more monopolistic behavior. We saw Openai try to do exactly this back when they went to Congress to warn the senators about the dangers of ‘agi’ and how it quickly needed to be regulated. Well they failed, and now there’s tons of companies with their own products that rival Chatgpt in every way other than the brand recognition.

tor is crazy, like you cant use half the internet with it - how do you sign into stuff while remaining anonymus? its good for hiding browsing history from the world, but other than that i don think its the best. iIuse librewolf and it seems to work well, i might switch in the future to something else but im fine with this.

use librewolf if you want privacy. idk much abt brave but i do know that their ceo is super homophobic, and ive heard that brave sometimes changes the referral links you select to make them money

I think in some cases DAOs kinda make sense to be legal entities (in some contexts), like a public company is somewhat controlled by its investors, and if you want to create some sort of crypto-related product - im thinking of something like polymarket or opensea here - you could get investment by auctioning off special voting tokens for the DAO that controls it (so if the majority of token holders wanted to, they could for example, change the background of the site, or introduce a new feature). I imagine getting legal recognition of such a company would make this a ton easier.

Of course, replacing/creating governments with this sorta thing would be insane, but on a lower level, like for companies, it doesn’t seem that bad

get linux if you haven’t already

if you don’t know how, ask, Lemmy is covered in Linux users

quantum computing once they break meaningful encryption, not 2 bit RSA. it’ll be super overhyped, become super important, and then it’ll settle down a bit once everyone switches to new encryption algorithms

they should put that in clothing, there’s probably tons of medical uses for this

arch linux since december

I use arch btw

and I use hyprland btw

just bc youve had a bad day doesn’t mean you need to spread that to everyone
