  • Gov. Tim Walz vows to fight Donald Trump’s agenda while working to understand his appeal

    Jump

  • Have you learned anything useful on inoculation and deprogramming? I’ve been looking as well but haven’t found much.

    Is it like you say, have a true set of idea anchors? But still what if it’s a false anchor?

  • Boston Dynamic show off their brand new Atlas

    Jump

  • Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

  • Stop whining. Do it yourself.

    Jump

  • .world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).

  • M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • Do you mean abominations? lol.

  • The EchoChamberinator 9000!

    Jump

  • A more powerful local transmission may be considered jamming. I’m not sure, so look up relevant law beforehand.

  • Ballots set on fire in three states as Election Day approaches

    Jump

  • I don't believe they're thinking that abstractly. They know [Blue State] and go there. Maybe a few are smart enough to go to [Swing State] + [Blue Area], but I think it's about affecting the count moreso. It just seems stochastic, so I think the simplest logic is going to be the most common.

  • Store making me feel like an outcast because of privacy concerns

    Jump

  • (Area code) 867 5309

    It already has an account, and nobody who gets that number keeps it for long, it may not even be assigned anymore because of how much spam it probably receives.

  • Store making me feel like an outcast because of privacy concerns

    Jump

  • Pay cash when available, keep cards for when it’s not or it’d be a hassle (your discretion).

  • What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?

    Jump

  • FYI for those reading this, it is just an image of the unopened mail. They don't open it for you. You see who it's from and when it is supposed to arrive.

  • Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable/utilitarian living?

    Jump

  • Second this. Vanlife stuff is focused on size, mass, durability, efficiency, replaceability, repairability, modularity, price. There is nothing better than vanlife videos for learning how to live minimally within an apartment.

    Some additional tips,

    • folding furniture.
    • Human baseline happiness returns to set points. Remove something non-essential and you may be sad at first, but will eventually stop caring.
    • No couch or TV: if it cant fit on/in my car or is fragile, I’m not buying it.
    • if you don’t mind appearing “poor”, you may realize that the products that best fit all the above criteria are just basic things from walmart, target, etc. Those folding plastic tables and metal bed frames, plastic tubs and drawers, actually solve their problems 90% as well as traditional products at 10% the price, while being readily available everywhere. You don’t worry about damaging them either.
    • take or leave advice. Maybe you want a nice desk. I have a nice office chair. It will be hard to move, but it’s worth it. The point is you can be minimal in unimportant areas.

  • Wi-Fi Goes Long Range on New WiLo Standard

    Jump

  • Also isn’t LoRa proprietary/patent encumbered?

  • Is Pine64 dead?

    Jump

  • I’ve noticed that too. Is it related to covid you think? As in it was like this before and now we’re returning to normal progression as people rebuild social connections and lose time. Or is it that the whole dev economy is changing with layoffs and such that devs are leaving the industry altogether? Or something else even?

  • J.D. Vance 'caught lying' on video about egg costs — with price tag right behind him

    Jump

  • I really appreciate this reply, and the effort you’ve taken citing here. I was in disbelief of the fact that chickens can be grown to slaughter that fast.

  • J.D. Vance 'caught lying' on video about egg costs — with price tag right behind him

    Jump

  • That would account for about 6 weeks of price increase. Chickens don’t live that long.

    Dude what?

    A chicken may live for 5–10 years, depending on the breed.[24]

  • Mass surveillance is not normal

    Jump

  • Spray paint until it stops getting replaced

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

    Jump

  • They paused funding for all of the exciting P2P and low bandwidth stuff last year. Hopefully it resumes soon, as mentioned in the GitHub thread.

    https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2023/#In-other-news

    Meanwhile, P2P Matrix and Low Bandwidth Matrix is on hiatus until there’s dedicated funding - and Account Portability work is also temporarily paused in favour of commercial Element work, despite the fantastic progress made recently with Pseudo IDs (MSC4014) and Cryptographic identifiers (MSC4080). Given P2P Matrix and Account Portability were the main projects driving Dendrite development recently, this may also cause a slow-down in Dendrite development, although Dendrite itself will still be maintained.

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

    Jump

  • I’m still sad they stopped work on dendrite. P2P level decentralization, with E2EE, would be amazing.

    These are still great improvements though. I'm hyped that loading seems to be so much faster.

  • Millions have amnesia about the worst of Trump's presidency. Memory experts explain why.

    Jump

  • Yeah, everything I’ve been hearing in the last couple of years has talked about how traditional fact checking methods do not sway beliefs. The few things I’ve heard work are innoculation and ridicule.

    Inoculation (telling someone about conspiracies before they’re encountered) seems like it could be used in favor of whatever ideology, not just the truth.

    And ridicule (couch sex memes and “weird”), seems to work because it specifically targets the “follow the strong man” approach that many fools take to belief building. Like that can’t be applicable generally, can it?

    I am yet to learn of a solid framework + practical methods which work to guide people toward belief based in reality.

    Perhaps it’s multi-faceted. First make them feel like part of a community, which grounds them in experience and removes the most insane conspiracies/fear, then they’ll be grounded enough to accept some media & scientific literacy education?

  • Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube

    Jump
    • gmail you can forward all mail to another account.
    • Youtube, you could try following your subscriptions via RSS/ATOM feed reader. It's honestly just like regular YT but without the recommendation engine.
