I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I'm too tired to care now.

  • Oh you think they just stopped? Did you bother to verify for yourself?

    Over 2 million tweets from these accounts were collected from 24 February 2021 to 31 January 2023

    Russian influence operations are weaponizing Canada's far right and the far left

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

  • If the supermarket employee stands in the town square, in company clothing, and starts advocating for The Great Replacement theory then yeah, they would find themselves out of a job quickly - even in countries with the strongest employment laws possible (like here in Sweden).

  • Sorry, but this is wrong. They're also actively sponsoring "left wing" propaganda, to further sow discord. Depending on which group you yourself belong to, it's just easier to spot "the others".

  • Denmark aims to ban social media for children under 15, PM says

  • Exactly :)

  • Why would people view/follow them? "Influencers" only exist because of the algorithms. I've seen several try on Mastodon, followed by loud complaining and leaving when they realize that posting a lot of hot takes doesn't generate followers.

  • That, too, is caused by the algorithms. Else you would not be constantly fed with unattainable body images etc.

    I think too many are unable to picture what algorithmic-free social media even looks like. Mastodon is a start, then you have Pixelfed (Instagram) and Loops (Tik-Tok) you can try as well. It's really that different.

  • The EU has no problems doing that.

  • Why do you think so? What data supports that statement?

    (I'm old enough to have grown up with non-algorithmic social media)

  • Denmark aims to ban social media for children under 15, PM says

    Jump

  • No. The algorithms, created to maximize ad-profits, are the ones promoting "engagement" which due to human nature always means anything that polarizes will be shown higher up in feeds than calm rational discourse.

    Jump

  • Almost correct. What should be banned is algorithmic social media. Non-algorithmic is just fine also for kids.

  • Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

    Jump

  • This had always been a faulty line of thinking by those who claim that the less-developed world would start to use as many resources as the developed world already had.

    Like, no. Why would theY bury copperlines all over the place instead of just going mobile directly. Rinse and repeat for everything else - like using solar instead of coal.

  • How old are you (roughly) and how long does it take you to recover from illnesses and injuries compared to when you were younger?

    What do you mean "recover"?

  • Bunch of different zigbee ones. Zigbee-only means they're guaranteed to be local and I've had no issues with my Deconz-based zigbee network for many years.

  • Vehicle-to-Grid Power Is Becoming a Reality, But Why Isn’t Progress Faster? - Inside Climate News

    Jump

  • Apparently it's less about "powering" as much as it is about stabilizing. When we go from huge coal/nuclear turbines to wind power there's a need to quickly ramp up/down power to the grid to keep the frequency within a certain range. V2G would be used for that, and would then only increase/decrease battery charge within single percentage digits.

    I have a car with V2G support but the infrastructure is not here (Sweden) yet, so my electrical provider does pay me when charging is not done or done to help the grid, but cannot move electricity in the other direction yet.

  • Volkswagen Halts Production at Two German Factories Due to Slow EV Demand

    Jump

  • VW has been the best or second best selling EV on the Swedish market for a year or so.

    I have a VW ID.7 myself and find it awesome. Had a Tesla Model 3 before.
