  • They might not know there are alternatives. So they likely do not ccomplain to their IT person.

    Dont be a "jUsT uSe LiNuX" guy, but when you see them frustrated maybe say "hey I see you are frustrated as well and I as a patient are concerned about my medical data privacy. You know there are better and safer alternatives, maybe you could ask your IT if it would be possible to switch to Linux?"

    Realistically, they can't switch because the software to use some $€1m medical device only runs on windows.

  • The Prisoner's Trolley Problemma
  • That unfortunately means you have to shoot a lot of people. Trolley problems are everywhere. They just arent as obvios as pulling a lever. But your political and consumer behaviour are full of trolley problems.

    So you can either pull the trigger and shoot a lot of people, which will make you a murderer, or, if you dont, through your inactions, a lot of other people will have to suffer through hidden trolley problems. Your choice.

  • "Now, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed..."
  • If I remember correctly, EMP doesn't really work on very small devices. You need a "antenna" that is long enough to induce a strong enough current to fry your electronics. So anything connected to a long wire. The power grid is itself a huge antenna and will be completely destroyed but a small battery powered device will be unharmed.

  • Biden approves anti-personnel mines for Ukraine, US official says
  • So do i. Russia escalated by invading. Russia escalated by killing civilians, targeting civilian infrastructure, kidnaping children, attacking nuclear power plants, attacking dams, attacking hospitals, (and many more times). And by using mines.

    That doesn't change the fact that an escalation of the weapons used by ukraine is an escalation. That's what that word means! Russia escalated first, and many times after. They are the bad guys.

    Ukraine using mines is an escalation. Arguing against that point simply means you refuse to understand the word "escalation".

  • ‘We were horrified’: parents heartbroken as baby girl registered as male
  • Any system that involves (human or machine) data entry and doesn't allow corrections is fundamentally broken to the point of unusability.

    For the sake of auditability, there should be a remark stating the data was originally entered differently. Displaying the original data with a remark that it has been changed and is no longer valid is extremely stupid.

  • Brigitte Nr. 16 1975
  • Und selbst wenn nicht. Die industrielle Revolution in England hat doch schwarz und deutlich gezeigt das Kohle verbrennen zu Smog und Aschenregen führt. Niemand hat jemals gedacht das Kohle umweltfreundlich ist.

  • World's largest EV never has to be recharged
  • Depends on the scale of "going down". Many mines are in the mountains and the material has to be brought down to lower elevations. The mine entry may be lower than the nearest pass but still a lot higher than the destination of the ore.

  • Epigenetics
  • Yeah I was about to say. Aren't children from families that suffered famines much more likely to have (and have children that have) digestive problems and food related deficensies?

  • To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks
    • Being offended by somebody "calling themselves straight" is stupid and fragile.

    • Being "proud of being straight because somebody else is proud of being queer" is stupid and fragile.

    • Being "content with being straight and wanting to label yourself as such in an environment where that makes sense" is reasonable.

    I dont play the game so I dont know the context but I assume labeling yourself straight does not make sense in a fishing game and as such it is most likely about the second point
