I’m not a scientist, I’m sure there’s a clear ethical code doing these experiments.

Instead choosing to stay blind is a dumb choice. How can we improve animal welfare by being blind.

Research like this can improve the circumstances and decisions we need to make regarding pain. Blindly assuming can often do more harm than good.

Instead of pointing fingers, try to reflect and think about it. I can easily point out several cases where your assumptions do harm.

Meh, pain is just an indicator. Of course animals feel pain.

For some reason people automatically associate that with how we as humans experience pain and learn from it.

It’s not because my car is showing a “check engine” light, that’s it’s suddenly screaming in agony. It’s just signaling to the “brain” something is wrong. How the approach then continues is clearly different between many species and this is what researchers are trying to learn.

Saying animals feel pain is obvious, speaking of “abuse” less so when you stop comparing the “experience” of pain to how we feel it.

The answer is simple: the site that published the article is complete garbage

I love Grayjay, but had plenty issues lately. Feels like a cat and mouse game with YouTube often.

CA should be dragged through the mud.

All these laws are creating footing to ease in more draconian laws in the future. Disgusting stuff

Didn’t read I guess? This goes beyond the Californian bill. The NY bill specifically does not allow this.

It’s “foot between the door”.

Once this has been established as “normal”, they’ll slowly pile on more and more restrictions.

Better to call out this bullshit know instead of mindlessly agreeing.

Sounds like they make these laws specifically to arrest you.

“Woops, your dishwasher has no age verification, now we can arrest you and make you confess whatever we want”

My community just setup a Matrix instance and we’re migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.

I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.

It’s pretty nuts, there’s a big exodus going on.

I still have both my Zune and Zune HD. Such great devices

Not sure what this has to do with privacy.

Extra features require a subscription, big fucking surprise.

You can self-host, but that could be an actual privacy nightmare.

It’s a bit two sided I believe. The energy demand is increasing, so there’s indeed more coal being burnt.

But at the same time, the share of clean energy sources compared to coal is also getting bigger and bigger.

So it’s not all bad. Mostly seems the demand for energy is growing too fast to decently transition, let’s hope they can catch up and get rid of coal as soon as possible.

“A software engineer with a strong UI/UX background” -> barely able to build a functioning website

The site really feels like it’s been vibe coded.

Rivers don’t flow up the mountain, let’s not kid ourselves that there is “innocent” AI usage in this context.

It’s a gray zone in my opinion.

The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art. Where do you draw the line between a unique piece of art and copying existing art?

He bought the domain for $10000. Not sure what your definition of poor is, but in my opinion someone poor isn’t “investing” in expensive domain names.

You just know already he’s gonna scam, grift and cheat to get that pay package, not do anything worthwhile.

And if he can’t get it, he’ll cry and sue to get it anyway.

This guy is so desperate to be called the first trillionaire, it’s just really pathetic.

Seems you already lost some oxygen supply

you would cease to function if oxygen suddenly went away.
