  • Including the ones already mentioned, oddly I can't find any internet radio apps in fdroid. Unexpected.

  • Like, it will fairly accurately record individual songs!

  • First, thank you for giving me something new to research, second, I can't help but be reminded of the floating mansions that the Roman elite and Rich had just before the fall of Rome...

    This all makes me wonder if we should do another "limits to growth" study.

  • Hey, no worries bud. This is the internet and we're all strangers! You don't know anything but I appreciate your consideration!

  • I may look into this. I would much rather pay developers that give a shit about the project then pay Evernote who is clearly just in it for the money and their devs have lost their way.

  • Then why do they call it a front light? I'm confused now.

  • I would only get one if it also had a backlit display. Preferably amber

    This article has some useful considerations.

    Happy shopping.

  • It's a mixed bag. That school has a reputation now.

  • I was bullied in middle school. Multiple assaults, general torment and the like, but after I got even, everyone left me alone. He probably wouldn't work these days and it probably only work to then because it was at a Catholic school where they let that sort of thing fly.

    I learned how to bully the bully and got him to throw the first punch. From there it was all downhill because I was in control. I was not angry, he was.

    Since I was thinking clearly I was able to easily best him, physically, and after that he feared me enough to leave me alone. Everyone did. In retrospect, I'm lucky I didn't do permanent damage to him.

    This is definitely not advice. It's also definitely not something but I am proud of.

    My takeaway from this is that you should never send your kids to Catholic School. That shit went way too far and nobody should be pushed to the breaking point like that. (neither of us)

  • I'm on some new meds and things are looking up. I'm happy.

  • I disagree. Flooding the internet with disinformation isn't that expensive and although it's probably impossible to measure, I think there's tremendous potential to sway opinions.

    Russian troll farms and bot farms come to mind.

    To what you said, I don't think there would be so much effort if it didn't work.

    This is one example: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/fake-joe-biden-robocalltells-new-hampshire-democrats-not-vote-tuesday-rcna134984

    I haven't researched this or anything, but this kind of thing feels like low-hanging fruit that moves needles.

    If you know of any interesting articles or studies about the topic, I'd definitely be interested in them! 🙂

  • That's exactly how it works. Find the fault lines and apply pressure. If you do it right, it doesn't even cost much.

  • So it's gradually becoming Truth Social. Got it.

    Seriously though, I've been using Reddit since probably about 2012. I never really put time into analyzing it's demise. I didn't care enough. Thanks for the information. 🙂
