Social credit in China is [...] Something that is a great benefit to their citizens.

Something someone who doesn't condone a system apparently says. /s

Not if you look at OP's other comments.

You've been effortlessly oriented by the State Department and its various propaganda apparatus.

Can you explain to me, how I'm propagandized by a foreign government when I'm not cheering on the policies of their opponent?

I'm not taking any sides on this conflict, because it's not my conflict. I'm a socialist... Let me assure you that my fundamental critique of the chinese state apparatus doesn't really align too much with the US state propaganda.

Both are technocratic systems of control.

Two things can be bad at the same time.

Why are you saying "a Linux PC" three times in a row?

The list is too cropped. Can I use it as lube, too?

Just asking questions.

Didn't want to be rude, if you're a real person. I'm mad that I even think I should be paranoid about bots on lemmy.

When can we expect the counter-pope? /j

I think the bit might be intentional. It's trying to level up "the AI will bear a god whigh will exterminate all human life".

JD Vance is our savior who like [...] widows?

It's a bit like one of the sleazy houses on Game Of Thrones, right?

... Although I kinda get it (you do not, under any circumstances have to hand it to him, though): There are not many women ok with dating fascists.

Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games? (slrpnk.net)
 

Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

I already got:

  • Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
  • Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
  • Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
  • ... that's it

It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

Europe’s seeds are being privatised by patents - and it could threaten food security (www.euronews.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/2037887

Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes.

Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding.

This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry.

Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented.

This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.
