TL;DR Nonsense "study"

A study for real world risks based on a videogame, of all things? Its impossible to directly map the experience of being behind the wheel in real life to a game, and the article doesn't even mention whether it's an actual simulation (like beam.NG), game-like (as in Assetto Corsa), or plain arcade fantasy (GTA, Need for Speed) OBVIOUSLY people are gonna play games in a more fun/different way under the influence They even admit that inhaled usage showed little to no consistency in driving difference Bias disclaimer: I stopped consumption some time back

As if voting changes anything beyond the color ("red"/"blue") of the paid-off figurehead in power Voting hasn't been anywhere remotely close to real since the 20th century

No offense, but why doesn't anyone suspect these types of posts to be some corporate data farming?

Although I'd like to read and respond to the reply made by Emre_Ozkan, it is unfortunately [flagged] and [dead]

Quite disappointing whenever I see this type of...of censorship, would this be considered??? I am sure there are many interesting perspectives and this is not the first occurrence of burying comments and/or responses that I have observed as a longtime lurker

For a single tab? I wonder how much the telemetry takes up...

Truly intriguing! A core2duo+4GB RAM in 2026?!?!!!

Can you elaborate on your experience? I can't imagine 20tabs being smooth on 8GB with the modern "web" being whst it is today, let alone 4GB! Unless there is only text files and plain HTML in those 20 tabs???

It really is true... Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain

Somebody please kill this cancer

We need open-source+extensible and maybe a federated BLOCKS-focused building/game platform alternative (ie LEGO rip) with the best legal team possible so it can blow up without worry

> This is a lie: the facts are simply that the systemd users database has gained an optional "date of birth" field, which the desktop environments may use or not as they deem appropriate. Of course there is no "identity verification" or requirements to provide any data, which in any case would not be shared beyond authorized local applications.

I understand this might lack nuance, but this looks like the setting up of a groundwork for an age verification system

I get and agree the point ( that its the families that should be managing access), but how much further are we willing to allow these circus festival clowns called "politicians" to restrict freedom of access to the internet under the guise of "oh noesss we must protecc teh chillren!!"?

All these acts like Stop child abuse exploitation or COPPA or whatever nonsense, Im sure all of us in the hacker news crowd understand and can agree that its just pretend/fictional names to gather public consensus/approv to furtjet lock down the internet

There's still people out there that believe the west is a "democracy"? People really think voting, elections, politics in general is even real and not a reality show/circus act put on for the masses?

Even after you pointed out specific mistakes, I fail to understand how the writing is indicative of AI over-reliance?

At least on this Materialistic app available on F-Droid, all those comments are flagged and unable to be seen

Its absolutely senseless to take on a position on something when not knowing what's coming from both sides

I'd presume this place to be frequented by those who would also find it similarly foolhardy to be taking a stance on an issue when not all parties are privy to the same objectivity/impartiality (in terms of information and the different sides of the story)
