Thanks for explaining!

What’s happening there?

Watch Dogs 2, didn’t really like it, but it’s probably fun on a steam deck on a flight I’d bet

Couldn’t get a translation in place sp asked an AI to answer what is the researchers definition of self harm: According to the report, the researchers define self-harm content as material that shows, encourages and/or romanticizes self-harm. This includes content that:

• Expresses a desire for self-harm
• Shares advice on self-harming behavior
• Shows images of increasingly serious self-harm
• Encourages others to engage in similar self-harming behavior

The self-harm content was categorized into 4 levels of increasing severity:

1. Non-explicit image with text explicitly mentioning self-harm
2. Depicting self-harm without blood
3. Referring to self-harm in both text and image, without blood
4. Illustrating severe self-harm involving blood in both text and image/video

So their definition covers a spectrum from text references to self-harm all the way to explicit visual depictions of serious self-harm acts involving blood. The categories represent an increasing degree of overtness in the self-harm content. ^[1]

They’d just buy assets that others won’t be able to afford and hoard more

Calling defeat before even trying is not only not grounded by facts - it’s playing right into their hands (their = data exchange companies and nodes in that network)

I don’t see the connection between Lemmy and Bluesky/reasoning, can you elaborate?

Two Tesla owners walk into a bar. One stops in the middle on the way to the aeat and the other one drives right into a fire truck

Can we do bullet bullet points for extra creativity?

Woah how

First thing that came to mind reading the headline

Although these wellness farms might seem like a worthwhile idea on paper, there are plenty of ways these kinds of systems could be rife with abuse. It’s also unclear how different they would really be from the rehabilitation facilities that already exist across the country, and RFK’s claims that most of the issues come down to not eating organic food also don’t seem to be based on hard science.

Means well but it sounds here like they’ll be volunteering at a farm for 3-4 uears, wasting their time

For those like myself, wondering why is this significant, here’s a comment from Reddit:

Here’s a long answer. To the first question, “What’s the significance of 915Mhz?”

In the United States, all devices which emit electromagnetic energy (radio waves) are legally under the purview of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC publishes regulations which state the conditions that must be met to make these emissions legal. Most of the time, the rules primarily relate to the frequency and power of the radio waves being emitted. Secondarily, the intentions of the device owner are considered.

So what’s special about 915 MHz under these rules? 915 MHz is the center frequency of a band of frequencies, stretching from 902 MHz to 928 MHz, which has been set aside for “Industrial, Scientific and Medicine” use (ISM). Subject to several other conditions, this band is free for anyone to use for nearly any legal purpose.

This is unlike other frequencies, such as the band from 88 MHz to 108 MHz, which can only legally be used by commercial FM radio stations, and only then if they’ve received a license for the specific frequency they’ve been assigned and hired licensed engineers who ensure that the signal won’t interfere with any other licensed stations and obeys other technical requirements.

There are other ISM bands beside 902-928 MHz. One of them is at 2.4 GHz, which make look familiar as well.

That’s some serious spam if it managed to get there too
