Is Java not (still) cool?

Can't wait for this to finish. The inability to screenshare with java.awt.robot is what's preventing ScreenConnect and thus my desktop from dropping X11 compatibility.

Anybody know how this compares to org-mode? Specifically in terms of a customizable agenda?

Played with this a bunch last weekend with some friends. It's fucking awesome. Documentation is lacking and it isn't at the point of Gmod usability, but I see huge potential.

Right now you can do visual scripting and live code editing is coming in the next update. The developers on Discord are super approachable and helpful.

Several game developer friends of mine who use Godot are excited to start working with this so they can show off their work and get my feedback in real time.

Two years hard labor for attempted suicide? What were these people thinking...?

Yes but generally when curtailing free speech courts apply strict scrutiny, and even minors are generally understood to have the right to produce and accept speech, banning someone from viewing all visual depictions of sex outright seems overbroad even if only a minority is not 'harmful', whatever that means.

Mainstream porn may be unrealistic, but that doesn't mean you can't find realistic depictions of sex.

I think that porn might have no positive purpose for you. But for me, it's been huge. I've met some of my best friends though furry conventions coordinated on 'porn sites'. I'm in several telegram groups where artists are pushing the state of the art with AI, integrating it into their workflows to make really beautiful pieces, this catalyzed some of my own interest in AI and is the main reason I'm learning more about Stable Diffusion and following these StatQuest videos on neural networks with the hope of eventually pivoting my career in that direction.

Finally, I'm a MAP and I use (drawn) cub pornography as a way to alleviate my sexual urges, helping me remain a productive non-dangerous member of society. Are you really saying that for someone like me porn has no positive purposes?

Yeah but people let their kids have candy, you're just supposed to guard them against overindulgence or damage to their health...

Also by definition porn /is/ visual depictions of sex.

No, I just don't care about PornHub personally.

I think it depends on the porn in question. Would I be upset if I discovered my teenage son had some playboys stashed in his room? Probably not, no.

People are upset about the privacy and free speech aspects of this law, as well as the annoyance of having to hand over your personal information for something as basic to human nature as your sexuality. I think there's a 100% chance that there will be a data breach at some point and a bunch of people will have their porn habits leaked to the web. Not to mention the chilling effects when it comes to something like looking up more taboo kinks and not wanting your ID associated with that.

It's not just porn. I'm a member of the furry fandom. I regularly publish fiction in that community, I have life long friends in that community, it's a community that has helped me through a lot of dark places in my life, a community where I can explore taboo subjects in a safe setting. For most people it may just be 'porn', material they use to jerk off, but the fandom is a major part of my life. E621 and other sites aren't even necessarily 'pornographic', I rarely look at 'furry porn' to masturbate as a matter of fact. I'm being 100% honest when I say I follow the artists I follow for the art. It's just that in the furry fandom things like depicting sexuality aren't necessarily taboo.

Preventing other people from participating in this community, whether it's fear that their identity is going to be leaked correlated to their fursona, concern over increased tracking of possibly undesired sexual minorities, or just the pain in the ass required to take that first plunge and sign up for E6, feels like an attack on a major part of my life.

And personally, I don't feel like I should have to take responsibility for some parent who freaks out every time their kid sees breasts, but isn't willing to install parental controls on their fucking computer.

I am going to say something that is not popular to say but has been on my mind for a while.

Why is it bad for our kids to see two humans have sex?

When you say porn is bad for kids, I think you mean that mainstream porn can be misogynistic, addictive (like most pleasurable things), and give people unrealistic body standards and expectations about what sex is like. All of which I agree with.

Okay, so, if I had a website that just showed consensual sexual relationships between a husband and wife in a committed relationship, just doing normal sex like people do, would that be okay for kids to see? Would it be okay for me to show my kid if they were curious about what sex was like? What if that was something I /wanted/ my teenager to jerk off to as opposed to something I wasn't curating? Wouldn't it be better for me to be able to say "Here's what normal human sex looks like, you'll experience this yourself when you're older and ready for it, but I was a young teen and I know young teens get horny too, just don't spend all day masturbating to it" rather than letting them stumble onto whatever they find on PornHub? I mean we educate kids about every other aspect of human existence, but sexuality is some weird taboo...

I'm just confused here, I mean, are we saying that young people are irreparably harmed by visual exposure to the human reproductive system? If so, why would we as a species have evolved that way? And if not, then how can we justify a blanket ban on young people seeing all forms of recorded sexual activity?

If you look at my comment history you'll see I'm not a normal person, and I don't really understand 'normal' views on human sexuality. Maybe it's because I lived so long in a clothing optional community...I don't really understand why it's okay for parents to show their kids extremely violent media but showing two people having sex, even if it's educational, is considered some form of abuse. But then again, as I said, maybe I'm just mentally ill or something...

It's because I'm a furry and it's the only 'porn site' (not all the art is even explicit) I care about. And Inkbunny too I guess.
