Technology@lemmy.world•Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going live on Twitch in new streaming series 'Talk with the People'English
6·3 months agoStreaming is extremely hard to do yourself without the infrastructure to support hundreds, or thousands of people connecting to your server. It’s not realistic without the architecture and experience. And Twitch IS where the people hang out. Unfortunately.
“Yes, actually. I assume everyone has STDs until they take a test to prove otherwise. It’s just safer that way. You’re literally hooking up with me, so I assume this isn’t the first time you’ve hooked up with someone. Can you vouch for everyone you’ve been with before me? And do you trust everyone I’ve been with before you?”
Like bro, you’re a fool if you’re offended when someone asks you to wear a condom. That is so concerning that I’d never contact him again. Someone who is OFFENDED at being asked to use protection is giant walking red flag.
I’m sorry you even have to ask if you were being too pushy. You weren’t. He was being insane. It’s YOUR body, you get to decide what you’re comfortable with. Never let someone pressure you into being less safe than you want.
You did the right thing in insisting!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Cartoon physics is now in effect. What are you going to try?
101·7 months agoDress as a scientist with a labcoat, and build something really quickly by pulling tools out of nowhere as a giant cloud of steam covers up what I’m doing, revealing a giant scientific looking device that is labeled “restore normal laws of physics for everyone except me”. Push the button. Now I am the only one running on cartoon logic. I have hopefully prevented others from destroying the Earth by exploding giant bombs or whatever. Or racists from coming up with a “kill all non-white people” virus. Or a variety of other horrors.
Then do things like build an anti-corruption ray and fire it at major government buildings. Panacea-ray to be given to hospitals. Climate-change regulation machine. Etc. Lots of different rays lmao.
Come up with plan to reduce suffering in the universe and harness cartoon physics into technology without someone being able to exploit this awesome power for evil. Do not do this alone. Gather others. Watch cartoons for ideas. Think this bs through a lot more.
I think I’d build a time-stopping device with immunity necklaces to place around the necks of the smartest and most compassionate people on Earth (which I’d use another tracking device to find) to give everybody time to think through ideas on what to do. That way everyone in the hospitals could stop dying while we think through ideas, giving us time to save them. Probably end up giving others the cartoon physics power after building a device to find the best candidates for the responsibility, and shooting them with the anti-corruption ray.
Probably shoot MYSELF with the anti-corruption ray to keep myself from going insane with power.
Fix the world, then later, fix the universe. End involuntary suffering. End involuntary death for those who do not wish to die. Fix entropy. Have fun forever.

Technology@lemmy.world•Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and TrackingEnglish
6·7 months agoGo to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic and sound better than $200 dollar options out there. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.

Even though I like the theme because of how corny and thus hilarious it is, I have to agree with you.

Technology@lemmy.world•Dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife asked daughter to create AI deepfake of mom asking for chemicalsEnglish
70·1 year agoI can’t believe how evil you have to be to throw away an entire person you CHOSE TO MARRY for money, instead of divorcing. To treat the person you claimed to love like a literal object to just discard. The arrogance and selfishness to end the life of the MOTHER OF YOUR SIX CHILDREN???
I hope he goes to prison for the rest of his life. No parole. A man who can do this to another person cannot ever be trusted among others again.

What kind of stupid politician is claiming to be working as the people’s representative with this policy?
