but the habit of overeating is gone

It's only gone as long as they stay on the drug. Unless they make an effort to change their lifestyle and eating habits while they're on the drug, nothing will change. For people who have immediate health issues due to their weight, then a drug like that makes sense. But for fat people trying to lose weight, I don't think it's sustainable.

I'm fortunate to be of a healthy weight and I've never had to worry about obesity. However, I do consciously make choices to eat less even when my body begs me to eat more. I feel like it would be much harder to develop that "skill" if I was on a drug like ozembic. The point is to learn to say "no" when my body is begging me to say "yes".

I have a family member with a kid about to enter middle school who is very likely going to end up being this guy. We've been trying to de-weeb him, but it's not going great. I think when the ninjutsu sinks its kunai in at such a young age, it's a lost cause. My only hope now is to just make sure he knows how to run properly.

That's is what it looks like when a Lemmy user goes super saiyan.

That explains the fur suits

What's wrong with copyright law? It definitely needs to be reformed, in particular the term lengths and the nonsense-laden DMCA. But for the most part, it's a good thing.

“When drug companies won’t sell taxpayer-funded drugs at reasonable prices, we will be prepared to allow other companies to provide those drugs for less,”

Cue the legal bickering over what counts as "reasonable". I think the definition is clear: the only reasonable price for medicine is the lowest possible price. And the only way to ensure that is to not award drug patents in the first place (at all, but especially if development was funded by taxpayers).

OpenAI is no different

That's not exactly true. OpenAI is structured like Mozilla, where there's a nonprofit parent part which owns a for-profit subsidiary.

Idk all the details, but I suspect that the typical exit strategy isn't in the cards for them without some legal shenanigans.

There's also a distro called Hannah Montana Linux, but that doesn't make Hannah Montana literally Linux.

I keep seeing stuff like this but I don't get it. Azure is Linux because if it was Windows only, nobody would use it. It's a shit service filled with tricks to lock customers in.

It's obvious that WSL is EEE. It only exists because of their focus on the cloud, and they realized that Windows was a poor dev environment for Linux software. Microsoft is directly incentivized to kill Linux so people get even more locked in to their ecosystem.

Is the reason you have a good impression of them because you use VS Code? That's not even open source. The proprietary parts are all more spyware and walled garden shit designed to lock you in.

Or maybe you're not a dev, and it's because you like Xbox gamepass? That's an anticompetitive attempt to monopolize the game industry. It's unsustainable and designed to price out the competition and lock in customers, which is classic monopoly shit. It's the best deal in the game industry today, but prices will shoot up when they get the market share they want.

The golden rule still applies today, as it did 20+ years ago: never trust Microsoft

Lets let the perpetrators encouraging mass shootings continue to get off scott free while actively enraging their base with falsehoods.

Is there a /c/insanepeoplelemmy yet?

This feels fucked up to write, but incels shooting women/children/non-whites is probably better than having lefties/righties shooting each other. That's how you actually get a civil war.

...honestly, I'd rather get shot
