Just_Pizza_Crust, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

Just out of curiosity, which new ones have you seen today? I’ve noticed ai images being included in parts of memes, but it’s mostly been as a replacement for low effort photoshopping.

Valmond, in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?

My man, those “pills” are coming and they won’t be unique usage (like some Genie provides them).

But they wont be as blunt either, it will be rejuvenation of your retina, kidneys, liver, skin (that doesn’t mean you’ll look younger), back muscles, heart, etcetera.

If you have cancer type 352 and we got a “pill” to treat it (a treatment, with a high probability to fix it) will you take it and extend your life by 20 years?

We’re in a biotech revolution, not in a Santa Claus situation.

HonoraryMancunian,

Happy days

Valmond,

It sure is 💖 !

cashews_best_nut,

I thought like you until I realised medicine is for the rich. Even in countries with universal healthcare there’s rationing of advanced therapies.

  • Years 10-20 - Human drug trials
  • Years 20-30 - Rich people use it.
  • Years 30-40 - Appears in universal healthcare systems.
  • Years 40+ - Appears in the UK NHS.

There’s a few promising senesance drugs in trials but that means you and I won’t see it until 2060 at the earliest.

otp,

Unless you sign up for the drug trials!

Fedizen,

rich people also try some weird shit. Wasn’t the main reason radium got banned was because some rich guy died of radium water or something?

Valmond,

Yeah it just proves rich people are idiots too, like steve jobs among others.

Valmond,

Check out D&Q the first senessent cell clearance treatment, it’s not that expensive.

Also, governments (except the USA it seems) will help getting everybody in good health, the economic benefits are enormous.

I’m so tired with this nonsense that only the rich will be getting it, it’s not true. Check out all other treatments, who are for the ultra rich only?

If you can reverse aging, will you only sell it to a bunch of billionaires, or to billions of people? Of course you’ll earn more money selling it to basically every human being on the planet.

I would take it at 60.

Why the hell would I want to do the last 20 years all over again?

They were shit the first time, aint gonna be anything but worse the second time around.

CarbonIceDragon, in What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?
@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

I’m not sure if it’s what you mean exactly, but every time I buy sour cream, I’m shocked at how cheap it is, compared to other dairy products

otp,

Maybe it’s made from the milk they couldn’t sell? Haha

That’s a good point, though!

Lifecoach5000, in What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?

I was told food is expensive now.

otp,

Bananas are still cheap, though!

BoxerDevil, in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?

Take it when I’m 18 and I will have never been born

HonoraryMancunian,

You’ll have 2 years in Minusland…

Minusland is a dark, gloomy region far beneath the surface of the Earth, filled up entirely with fog, and inhabited only by the invisible and highly dangerous Gnoolies, creatures which, with a single bite, turn their victims into more Gnoolies

deegeese, in Just an idea to make the Fediverse better, what do you think about it?

I’m a developer and I use OAuth 2.0 for work but half of this is Greek to me. You should post in a developer forum instead of general Ask Lemmy.

@thecookingsenpai@lemmy.world avatar

True, I just wanted to be more generic before going technical (this is very vague from a tech point of view so i was testing how the idea could be reacted)

deegeese,

You should explain the problem you’re trying to solve instead of diving into your proposed implementation.

@thecookingsenpai@lemmy.world avatar

Will add, you are totally right

joranvar, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

Might not be a useful plugin, but fans of Terry Pratchett might like the GNU Terry Pratchett idea. For librewolf I use this slightly updated add-on which fixes some minor issues (source available).

Fogle, in Is it possible to replace a damaged audio cable with a non audio cable?

Are you just talking about using a usb cable that came with a mouse to plug in a USB speaker?

Sticker,

Headphones

Fogle,

If they’re usb yeah basically every USB cable is the same. Just plug whatever cable in and see if there’s any issue

problematicPanther, in Countries that let anyone in?
@problematicPanther@lemmy.world avatar

Try France.

Snapz, in If you could travel to a place and time while you're a certain age - where would you go?

dhhyfddehhfyy4673, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, NoScript imo. Some sites run an absolutely absurd amount of scripts and the majority are not required for the site to function. So at best, there's no value from letting them run.

That used to be a must-have for me about 20 years back, but today, it just breaks too much on too many websites.

I could maybe see selectively-blacklisting particularly obnoxious websites, but I don’t think that whitelisting them is really practical today.

Dehydrated,

That’s what uBlock Origin already kinda does for you. It’s not just an adblocker, it also blocks tracking JavaScript from various sites as well as a bunch of other crap.

tal,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Mmmm…okay, but the parent comment I was responding to does have a point in that there are some benefits to blocking Javascript above and beyond just trying to deal with tracking. Like, if you’re on a laptop, there are sites that will burn a lot of CPU time – and hence battery life – doing nothing useful. Or, on an older machine, it can speed up page loading.

My issue is just that unless you’re going to turn it on yourself on a site-by-site basis, killing off Javascript breaks too much of the Web today. It was a viable option to just have on back when there was a meaningful portion of the world that didn’t have Javascript available and web developers designed pages to deal reasonably with its absence and you were willing to deal with flipping it off on specific sites to deal with the occasional breakage…but today, it’s a huge portion of the Web that doesn’t work without Javascript.

Dehydrated,

No don’t get me wrong. uBO doesn’t block all JavaScript. It has lists with individual scripts that are known to be used for ads or tracking, and these get blocked. All the other scripts load as usual. This already improves website load times and probably also battery life. Another interesting solution for reducing CPU load may be DNS based blocking. That way, the CPU is not impacted at all, the browser tries to load the script but it just silently fails, because the DNS records for the tracking and advertisement servers won’t be provided.

@GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world avatar

I prefer uBlock Origin on hard mode instead, personally. Of course it probably isn’t as through.
