  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

    Jump

  • I understand why you might think that's best as a cultural more but I ultimately disagree with that stance since it is likely to lead to alienation and less understanding as a whole. Being open to outside perspectives and even constructive criticism from both parties is the best way finding mutual understanding.

  • Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

    Jump

  • This is actually supported by GrapheneOS currently, if you need that extra push. 😉

  • China tests world's first megawatt-class flying wind turbine

  • Not to mention that the flames while combusing are invisible by sight. It's also really difficult to keep contained and if it leaks it has ~11x the impact of CO2 per this article.

    I used to like the idea of hydrogen as an energy medium but all of its attributes combined just make it really infeasible to use except for immediate applications.

  • White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections

  • You say this like the 100 prior absurd things that have happened shouldn't have occurred because we have a stable, sane system with checks and balances; but we don't. So people that are complicit, or scared, or both are complying with demands that are not technically enforceable. I could see this as one of those orders that red states would gladly comply with.

  • Pharmacology is probably a bad example because of the amount of legal fighting done within the pharmaceutical industry to keep people using (sometimes addicted to) their product as long as possible and to downplay any side-effects. Of course limiting resources to anyone that could oppose their sales is going to be common. So I wouldn't say my point (which is that it is unethical to publish with no regard towards stochastic social harm on controversial topics) is the reason it's difficult to obtain research for that industry specifically but the nature of that industry itself to keep information proprietary.

  • I think your first point contradicts your second.

    I'm sure most people would consider it to be unethical if a study is published while knowing it is not truthful.

  • I understand that doing research can take a long time and costs money but publishing findings that partially confirm a pre-existing stigma of a vulnerable group of people, witnessing bigots leverage said research to voice oppression against said group, and wanting to do it all again is definitely in the realm of being unethical.

    The pursuit of nuanced truth is a luxury that is being warped and tarnished by psychotic bigotry. Performing research for the sake of truth that might get real people harmed or killed is by definition unethical.

  • Are you looking for something like swhkd maybe?

  • ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrants: 2025 memo

  • Community building. That's the best thing we can do right now. Building social structures to help take care of everyone when the crumbling system will inevitably fail us. This can include making sure that vulnerable people are safe when ICE are sighted in the local area.

  • I honestly don't understand what point you're trying make.

  • That's why, in general you should look into non-GMO or organic foods. There are a few fruits and vegetables that are hardy on their own, but berries, broccoli, spinach, etc tend to absorb the chemicals used by farmers and people are indirectly ingesting them.

  • I'm not sure what you mean. It should be a planet by the definition I gave before unless I didn't convey what I was trying to say correctly. It's definitely large, heavy, and spherical enough to be a planet in my opinion.

    There's tons of different sized objects in our solar system and it's distinguishable enough to qualify in this one.

  • Sad Ganymede noises

    Jump

  • I'd agree with you but the definition is arbitrary and is not of Natural Kind. Even worse, instead of making the definition of a planet more clear it just makes the determining what is a planet more difficult.

    Honestly, if they just went with defining 'Major Planets', 'Minor Planets', and asteroids determined by mass and spherical shape, I think everyone would've moved on by now.

  • Just delete the configuration.nix file along with all backups of it and its easy to not look back. At least that did it for me since my system needed specific boot settings to even work and relearning all that wasn't worth it.

  • What's a time you stuck to your principles despite it being inconvenient to you?

  • We're using an alt social media platform, it's more likely that we'd also use other alternative services as well, especially when Lemmy users seem to be more tech savvy than most. It doesn't help that Microsoft and the other tech giants are forcing the use of anti-consumer features when you can use Linux in the same way without being forced to use features you don't want to use.

  • People online say old computers are prime candidates for repurposing into routers, is that actually a good idea security wise?

    Jump

  • Solution: don't run hosted services on your edge appliance.

    In OP's case, I'd use the RPi for the OpenWRT router and the miniPC for any relatively small hosted services I need. That way you can keep your services in its own DMZ away from your IOT devices assuming you have a smart tv/roku/firestick or other random likely vulnerable devices.

    Network segment everything you can, but at the very least, I'd keep your services off of the device that is separating your LAN from WAN.

  • The only thing I remember Biden did regarding oil was keeping protected lands from oil drilling while also drilling more in other public US lands.

    I'm not sure what you're referring to.
