Do you have any more info on that particular story? Research purposes.

... Nicusor Dan came out as president.

Okay, that's it. I'm tired of hiding it. I'm going to come out as Prime Minister to my family.

I'm been trying to expanding to my scientific literacy and that has involved looking at articles in scientific journals; i.e. the peer-reviewed literature. However, not all journals are trust-worthy. I would like to believe that academic search engines like Google Scholar would filter out "junk science" articles that I can't rely on that always happening. So how do I spot "predatory" or "pseudo-journals"?

Sometimes, it's quite obvious: "Answers Research Journal" makes it clear that they exist for creationist confirmation bias. This, however, isn't always the case.

I also can't always rely on a publication's reputation. In that oh-so famous example, Andrew Wakefield exploited The Lancet's venerable reputation to publish a fraudulent study with consequences that still reverberate to this day.

Thanks in advance.

Whether he needs help or not I don't know but what I do know is that we need to stop giving this man any attention.

I'm using the last known Yuzu build. The game works fine other wise but would definitely like to run it at 60fps. Also, if there's a new Yuzu fork or a better emulator to use do let me know.

I really wish that I was born early so I've could witness the early years of Linux. What was it like being there when a kernel was released that would power multiple OSes and, best of all, for free?

I want know about everything: software, hardware, games, early community, etc.

While it sucks that FOSS projects will have their funding sapped, let's remember why the open source model is used in the first place: it can't be bought. If it goes down, someone will just fork the last known repository and have it up and running again.

The bravery of this women to speak up against injustice! No doubt she is going to "face consequences" for this disruption. Let's wish her the best.

Salam Alaykum Ibtiahl Aboussad!

Massive congratulations to Europol and its partners in taking this shit down and putting these perverts away. However, they shouldn't rest on their laurels. The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.

That's why I installed Arch instead!

Enshittification is the end result of putting profits above everything. There's a reason why XJ Cherokees are still running today despite being over 40 years old. Their internals were so simple that even the most mechanically illiterate could work on it with basic tools from the hardware store. Something like that wouldn't be make it past the pitch meeting today.

They should call it EUROS.

Historically, Tiwana said, the US has been “considered the beacon of democracy and defense of fundamental freedoms”

What a fall from grace. Il Duce would've been glad.
