Yeah they weren’t banned in the 90s. They were developed in the mid 90s with a patent filed in 1998. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a moratorium in 2000, recommending that governments block field testing and commercial use of terminator seeds, but didn’t yet ban research. In 2006 they expanded the moratorium, explicitly prohibiting field trials and emphasizing risks to biodiversity and farmers rights.
Australia is already trying something like this, under the guise of protecting kids. Under 16 year olds are banned from social media starting in December, which is effectively the same as forcing identity verification. Don’t know if Lemmy will be affected or not. But I’ll ditch this account over giving my ID to “random dude running an instance”.
Perplexity already runs a US copy of it.
Are they going to give me a link to a version that doesn’t do this? Otherwise what exactly am I paying for?
Here’s 2, first is Claude, second is chatgpt:
what happened at Kent state? Or the move firebombings
I’ll explain both of these significant and tragic events in American history.
The Kent State shooting, also known as the May 4 Massacre, occurred when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed college students at Kent State University during a protest against the Vietnam War. Key points:
The MOVE bombing was a devastating incident in Philadelphia where police dropped a bomb on the headquarters of MOVE, a Black liberation group. Key details:
Both events represent significant examples of state violence against civilians in American history and continue to influence discussions about civil rights, police power, and government accountability.

The Kent State shooting and the MOVE firebombing are two significant, tragic events in American history, each occurring under very different circumstances.
Kent State Shooting (1970)
The Kent State shooting took place on May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, during a period of intense anti-Vietnam War protests across the United States. The protest at Kent State was sparked by President Richard Nixon’s announcement of the Cambodian Campaign, which escalated the war in Southeast Asia. Thousands of students gathered to protest the war, and the situation became tense.
On May 4, the Ohio National Guard was called in to control the protests. After a day of escalating tension, the guardsmen, who were ill-trained and overwhelmed, opened fire on the students. Four students were killed, and nine others were injured. The incident led to national outrage and further intensified anti-war protests, symbolising the growing divide between young Americans and their government over the war.
MOVE Firebombing (1985)
The MOVE firebombing occurred on May 13, 1985, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MOVE was a radical, back-to-nature, Black liberation group that lived in a communal environment. The group was known for its controversial, confrontational tactics, especially its leader, John Africa. MOVE’s members lived in a row house at 6221 Osage Avenue, and tensions had been rising between the group and the city government due to complaints about their noise and lifestyle.
In 1985, after a prolonged standoff with the police, the Philadelphia Police Department, under orders from Mayor Wilson Goode, decided to forcibly evict the group. In the course of the operation, a police helicopter dropped a bomb on the roof of the MOVE house, leading to a fire. The fire quickly spread, and the police allowed the house to burn down, resulting in the deaths of 11 people (including five children), and the destruction of an entire city block. The event was highly controversial, with accusations that the police had overstepped their authority and violated the rights of the MOVE members.
Both events highlight significant moments in American history, marked by government overreach, public outcry, and questions surrounding the use of force in response to civil unrest.
I agree and never made that claim.
Considering sociopathic people tend to excel at sales and marketing, that doesn’t really rule it out.
I’m not going to say piracy is right or wrong.
What I will say is if everyone had access to that replicator, and everyone replicated everything in the store and left, the store would close down, and the products would stop being made.
Likewise, piracy is only viable because not everyone does it. If literally every person pirated the games or movies of any given company, that company would no longer be profitable and would close down.
Piracy is getting something for free because other people pay for it.
So how are a ton of people going to red note? Shouldn’t that have been banned a long time ago if they ban every company?

The racist people are annoyed by it.
I think it’s more accurate to say the problem is mostly solved and its on track to being repaired rather than mostly repaired.
Antarctic ozone hole:
2000: 28.3 million sq km (largest recorded).
2020: 24 million sq km.
2024: 20 million sq km (approx 3x size of usa).
Global ozone levels will return to 1980 levels around 2040.
Arctic ozone will recover by 2045 (currently around 1 million sq km).
Antarctic ozone hole will fully recover by 2066.
The story, whether fact or fiction, talks about homeless people this way and dehumanises them.
Right? I don’t know how anyone could see a company spend this much time, money and effort on something and think to themselves “aww how nice that they suddenly care about us/the employees so much”.
It’s like they think the company sees them trying to form a union and is like “oh no, our employees are about to do something terrible to themselves, quick we must do everything in our power to save them!”.
Same. People are so damn dramatic.
