misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@piefed.social•Children Getting Smartphones Before 13 Have Skyrocketing Suicide Risk2·3 months agoStudy recognises very strong correlation between poor family relations and poor mental health outcomes but doesn’t really attempt to separate it from smart device ownership. I’d be interested in seeing difference in outcome for a group affected by other potential causes and smart device ownership before jumping to conclusions like in the title of the post.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@piefed.social•Children Getting Smartphones Before 13 Have Skyrocketing Suicide Risk7·3 months agoThere is no causal link shown, just correlation. It could be absent parents who use gadgets to occupy their children that are causing this as well.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish31·3 months agoSaudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Here's why that embattled retro gaming YouTuber might not be so innocentEnglish7·3 months agoNo idea but in Europe copyright law doesn’t seem to be enforced as much against little guys but taxman will come for everyone. That YouTuber seems to be a grifter, collecting money for his defense while also making money off a Telegram shop. He knew he could make things up and people (and „journalists”!) would fall for it because Nintendo bad.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish25·3 months agoHow would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish123·3 months agoI’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Here's why that embattled retro gaming YouTuber might not be so innocentEnglish151·3 months agoHe was selling them outright via Facebook / Telegram. I’ll speculate a little bit - it’s likely it wasn’t taxed which is why he was singled out.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Television@piefed.social•‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ English-Language Adaptation In Works At Netflix From Leila Gerstein & Jerry Bruckheimer TV4·3 months agoThe issue with current autistic leads in series like Good Doctor or Extraordinary Attorney Woo is that they are almost level 3 (aka profound autism) while also being savants which doesn’t really represent much of autistic people (and savants are even less). I don’t want to marginalise those people but they’re quite overrepresented in media about autism while also being less than 10% of all autistic people and that leads to regular people being really confused as to what autism is.
I think this is what’s behind something that’s almost a meme by now among autistic people - when you tell someone you’re autistic without flapping your hands and without difficulty in stringing a coherent sentence you’re going to be replied with „but you don’t look autistic”. This also leads to many people going undiagnosed and without support, sometimes for their entire lives.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Television@piefed.social•‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ English-Language Adaptation In Works At Netflix From Leila Gerstein & Jerry Bruckheimer TV5·3 months agoThe show is quite fun even if uneven but it suffers from the usual autism being off the charts on stereotypical traits without any nuance. I wonder if we’ll ever see an accurate representation of autism on TV, other than The Rehearsal, that is.

Bible doesn’t forbid it, similar to to how it doesn’t forbid same sex sex when the balls are not touching. God bless you.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Ori studio's focus on PS5 over Xbox for next game isn't a "shakedown" but "common f*cking sense", says CEOEnglish41·3 months agoThis thing goes into my living room and PS5 looks are just offensive to me. I waited to see if Sony would come to their senses with Slim or Pro but I guess Sony is back to being Sony when they don’t have to try. I despise monopolies so I go with the underdog when I can.
Both platforms run all modern games and there’s very little exclusives on both. Performance wise they’re the same and automatic VRR on everything is awesome. XSX was significantly cheaper at the time too and that’s before taking into account how much value GamePass provides. If Microsoft wasn’t exiting the market I’d say it’s a better choice today too.

Suggestion: in case of breaking API changes maintain old endpoints for a bit? This caught me off guard as a Voyager user this morning because versioning suggests that Piefed is stable (1.x) and that this was a minor release (x.0 -> x.2), yet it broke down completely.
