Here’s homicides per capita in Western Europe. I highly recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. It goes into this in depth.
Violence has been going down for centuries. We’re hearing about it more, but it’s declining. It peaked around 1993, and it’s been trending downward ever since.
If you zoom out and look at super long term trends, it’s been declining for centuries.

It’ll take so long before you can even leave your physical ID at home and count on everyone accepting your digital one. And it may never happen that people stop accepting your physical one.
It’s so people can trial having digital IDs. Some TSA and others can scan the new IDs, but not everyone can. So in the meantime, you have to carry your physical one too.
People are pointing out potential negatives, but this has some good possibilities for privacy too. If you show your ID at the liquor store, there’s no need for the clerk to know your name or address. The scanner can just verify your age.

In fact, using this mod, you can even have Docker download it and keep it up to date. In qBittorrent you just need to change the WebUI location to /vuetorrent.
AirVPN allows a reserved port, so you don’t even have to change the setting in your client every time your port changes.
It’s been timing out for me over the last few days too
I have a second instance of Prowlarr running with this fork. The issue with ABB is that it blocks Prowlarr’s user agent. This fork changes the user agent and re-enables ABB.
Right. Throughout human history, if someone was cast out of a community, they didn’t survive. We’ve been trained through evolution to go along with the tribe because it’s unsafe to question anything and get cast out.
Agreed. You could argue that Reddit is actually overcrowded.
One day. But until then, Lemmy is already great.
Unfortunately closer to 0.5-1%
No one said they’re smart.
If they were smart, they would spend their money making their platforms more enticing than piracy. Instead, they spend it on lawyers.
I mean, you’re right. We exist in a bubble. The average person is not very tech literate. I would never not E2EE my backups, but the majority of the public don’t care. It matters far more that they can recover their data if they forget their password.
I love hating on big tech, but in this instance, making E2EE the default may make people very angry when they cant just reset their password when they forget it. I’m just happy the option exists where I can toggle it on.
Hopefully one day the public will care enough about security and privacy. And hopefully the public will be using password managers so they never lose their encrypted data. Until that day, encryption kind of has to be opt-in for the general public and available for people who have basic tech skills.
It is. I hate Meta, but this isn’t them. This appears on any site that isn’t loading properly.
Bold of you to assume that the country that still uses the Imperial system is the one that better understands fractions.
This is where they’re spending their money. Not on writers, but on this. No wonder movies are in the state they’re in.
Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.
