  • Spray paint until it stops getting replaced

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    • 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.
  • I bet it’s this exactly. Cars get more efficient metrics on highway vs city start and stop. If the vehicle ONLY starts and stops it must be terrible, even if these have regen brakes.

  • Fair. I just learned about and like PeerTube so far (activitypub federated video hosting), but it's has even more infantile adoption than Lemmy does. I don't know that anyone I follow on youtube posts there, and if they do I don't know how to find them.

  • I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn't understand it.

    Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

  • Billboard

    Jump
  • Blue spray paint…

  • Ooo like higher powered rfid tags! The info could even then be relayed to the driver via the on screen display since theyre now all required.

  • Many kinds yes, idk enough to say all. Docs take a sample of the cancer DNA, turn that into an mRNA vaccine, inject it into you, and your immune system precisely destroys the cancer.

    It seems interesting for many cancers, and lifesaving for already metastasized cancers.

    Only downside will be lifelong wage garnishment to The Company.

  • Always get the version of the gadget with replaceable batteries unless you want a brick in 3-10 years. Additionally, prefer 18650, AA, AAA batteries, and keep some rechargeable ones around.

  • It's not the biggest, but it still is a concern, and is exceedingly easily mitigated.

  • It at least used to be adaptive because at one point it went to 500$ for me, then changed back down a couple months later.

  • For privacy.com:

    • great for anyone in the USA
    • don’t worry about difficult subscription cancellations again, just turn that one’s dedicated card off
    • I have personally blown past the daily spend limit of 250$ without issue, idk if that limit is real. The 1000$/mo may be though I've never hit that.
    • I’ve used privacy.com for everything from Amazon to car insurance to gym memberships.

    On credit freezes:

    • a freeze means that your consumer report will not be shared, which means applications for credit in your name will be denied
    • all USA consumer reporting agencies (data brokers) are legally required to freeze sharing of your reports for free upon your request
    • you can temporarily unfreeze when you get a new credit card, apply for rental property, etc.
    • don’t let them upsell it or try to direct you to another page with similar language, it is free
    • credit monitoring products need to request your report to see if any new accounts have opened. Don’t monitor it, prevent it by freezing the reports
    • freezes are required for any data broker, not just credit. This includes LexisNexis (job history), and presumably the ones that do rental and vehicle ownership history though i don’t know their names.
  • My favorite was the password set screen allowing up to 64 characters, but login fails if the password is over 32 chars.

  • The choice paralysis is real. I chose lemm.ee because it was easy to type into the address bar, and I've stuck around because the admin seems pretty level-headed.

  • Idk if you can transfer likes comments and posts, but you can go to your old account from a new one and star everything with the new account pretty easily. So that at least can transfer.
