  • How are locks and keys mass produced?

  • “Made on the same assembly line means it’s the same product” is a myth from people who have no experience in manufacturing/sourcing

    You’re right, I have absolutely no experience in manufacturing or sourcing. If I did, then I probably wouldn’t be posting to ask about it on /nostupidquestions

  • What are some discord alternatives that we can suggest to our friends?

    Jump

  • Yes matrix is decentralized like the fediverse. As far as I can tell none of these other suggestions people are making use decentralized technology (though I might be wrong about that)

  • ⛽🥩⛔ Amsterdam becomes 1st capital city to ban ads for meat and fossil fuels

    Jump

  • I’m glad there now seems to be widespread understand that meat is a big contributor to climate change. I remember when that used to be a hot take and people wouldn’t believe you

  • JD Vance and his 40 cars visit Milan, Italy 🇮🇹

    Jump

  • I guess from a security perspective it also helps to obfuscate Vance’s whereabouts. It’s difficult to know which one of the 40 vehicles he’s actually in.

  • Very interesting and potentially useful information. Thank you!

  • Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy

    Jump

  • Yeah. In my experience it’s more complicated than Discord but not as complicated as the fediverse. But either way, even if we can use this as an opportunity to boost its popularity among techy people then that would be a win in my books. Hopefully one day someone will come along and make a front end for Mstrix thats as frictionless to use as Discord

  • Beginning with Linux

    Jump

  • Yeah especially if OP sticks with their Mac. The WiFi drivers won’t work on Mac without proprietary drivers

  • Beginning with Linux

  • Also worth noting: you don’t need to get ride of MacOS to try linux! You don’t even need to make any permanent changes to your computer. You can also just boot from a USB and see how you like it. This is different from adding the distro to your computer with a USB. Because when you’re just booting from a USB it doesn’t make any permanent changes to your hardware; it literally just runs linux off your USB. Files won’t even be saved between sessions (unless you really tinker around with it, but even then the files will only be saved on your USB). This is a low risk way to play around and check out how well different distros work on your Mac.

    I suggest trying Ubuntu. It’s super beginner friendly and has great documentation which should guide you through booting from your USB. I put Ubuntu on my Mac back in the day and it worked great but the speakers didn’t work because the drivers weren’t open source. You should boot Ubuntu from a USB and play around with some sound sources to see what I mean. Since this will likely be the biggest problem you face with Mac its worth checking out before making permanent changes

  • We need more than a discord clone. We need something that is structurally capable of avoiding these kind of top-down attacks. We need something decentralized. I think something using the matrix protocol would be a good fit

  • Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy

    Jump

  • Self-hosting a matrix instance might be an okay alternative. And because its decentralized its not really possible for it to have top-down age verification imposed on it, if it ever does get popular

  • Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?

    Jump

  • Yeah there’ve been a couple other people on this thread that have said the same thing. Seems like so long as you’re sober and healthy then it should be fine

    Jump

  • Yeah I live in a cold climate and wake up from getting cold all the time

  • Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins

    Jump

  • Are there any lawyers in here that can tell us how likely this thing is to succeed?

  • Our understanding of reality might be a result of the way cousciousness works

    Jump

  • I feel like we're just going in circles now

    Jump

  • There are certainly more ethical implications to the science of consciousness than there are to other sciences, but I feel like that's a different discussion

  • Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?

    Jump

  • Very interesting take. I think you might be onto something. Similar to the concept of 'fan death' in Korea. I've heard it's often the go-to cause of death when the real cause of death is considered embarrassing or shameful

  • Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?

    Jump

  • That makes sense. But I feel like the warnings about not falling asleep in the bathtub are often handed out generically, including to people who are perfectly sober and in good health

  • Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?

    Jump

  • Yeah thats why I’m so sceptical of this whole thing. Like, wouldn’t you just wake up before drowning?
