Reading this made me instantly have the gay frogs song stuck in my head again

Sadly true! It seems their TikTok marketing campaign has paid off. I’m very disappointed by that.

In addition to the other comments: Germany has a lot of voters that are like 60+, some of which either don’t care too much because they will die long before the worst of climate change happens, or simply don’t want to change. Any policies that try to reduce carbon emissions are met with criticism by people not wanting to change their own behavior.

Definitely agree. Maybe you could argue that you’d just need to cut out former East Germany to make the post accurate, but even overall, germanys far right is definitely strong.

Some of these AI results are really funny, but this has to be fake, right? Are the AI results really that fucked up? There is just no way!

Miez is such a cutie. I made some real weird happy noises when watching her climb on that tree.

The thing is, that the important part is not just reaching zero by 2030, it’s to minimize the carbon output along the way. For every ton emitted in addition to their plan in these past years, they should be undercutting their plan in the next years. Looking at the stats, that seems highly unlikely to happen, as they’d need to be carbon neutral for all of 2024 only to offset their failures in 2023. It’s so frustrating.

I don’t think your distinction makes sense.

You’re saying most mental health/suicide cases have hope, and thants probably true! But the article wasn’t “every suicidal person granted euthanasia approval”, it was approved for one very extreme case of mental suffering with no indication of improving. That would be like saying “most cases of pain still have hope”. Yes exactly, they do, but there are rare, chronic cases where euthanasia may be a valid option, right? And just as much as suicidality is just ‘a symptom of something’ else, isn’t pain also just a symptom of something else?

And obviously we should help suicidal people to improve their mental health, but in her case she has been struggling since childhood with no indication of improvement. So how was this “the wrong decision” for her?

“I’m depressed and want to take my life. I’ve been struggling since my childhood and in 10 years of different kinds of treatments, nothing worked.”

“Have you tried jumping out of a plane with one of those flying squirrel things?”

“Oh wow, that was it, that fixed it! Thanks!” /s

Have you read the article?

Under Dutch law, to be eligible for an assisted death, a person must be experiencing “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement”. They must be fully informed and competent to take such a decision.

After 10 years, there was “nothing left” in terms of treatment. “I knew I couldn’t cope with the way I live now.”

In the three and a half years this has taken, I’ve never hesitated about my decision.

How is this a temporary and overcomable problem? It seems clear that it is not temporary and no kind of treatment worked for her. As per the law, there must be unbearable suffering without prospect of improvement, and during the multiple stages of this process, apparently no one came to the conclusion that that wasn’t the case for her. So how can you make that assessment?

The only thing I’d note is to be careful with your issue #2, because this sounds like it could break with autofill. Some autofill implementations may fill invisible fields (this has actually been an attack vector to steal personal info), so blocking the IP because an invisible field labeled “email” has been filled could hit users too. Otherwise, 100% agree!

I think this is kind of a temporary workaround. In Apples ideal world, the Vision Pro would actually be transparent and you could see the users eyes for real, but the tech isn’t ready to project what apple is doing on glasses. So they settled for a VR headset and put eyes on the outside. Eventually in however many years it takes, they will actually use glasses and won’t have to do the screen on the outside. They must believe, that being able to see Vision Pro users eyes is integral to the product, or at least important to the product being accepted by everyone.

The thing is, I do see ads when I open the embedded video/playlist on youtube! I don’t think businesses would specifically avoid embedded playlists, but then happily advertise on playlists on youtube. It just looks like an oversight rather than a business decision to me.

yeah I know, makes no sense. I’ll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I’m sure I’ll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.

I selfhosted Invidious a while back, but gave up on it when it stopped working and I couldn’t figure out why. I have no experience with Piped.

I settled on a third alternative, but I don’t want to point too much attention to it because I think it might be flying under Youtubes’ radar at the moment. But let me say this: if you embed a youtube video on a third party site and have it be part of a playlist with only the video in it, you won’t see any ads. so for example I’d be embedding a link like this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?playlist=dQw4w9WgXcQ&vq=hd1080&autoplay=1&modestbranding=1&rel=0 on my own page and can then watch it without ads :) if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up.

ohhhh thank you!

I’m completely out of the loop on this one. Can someone point me in the right direction?
