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

  • I'll check out the documentary, and thanks for your reply.

    I agree, my working conclusion for a while has been that I can't compete with the phone and to focus on my wellbeing by reducing contact.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • .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.).

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

  • 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.

  • (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.

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

  • 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.

    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]

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

  • 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.

  • 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?
