- Comment on Lemmy Android App Comparison 1 week ago:
Check out !lemmyapps@lemmy.world - there is a pinned post that lists all the active apps. There is also lemmyapps.com, which tends to be more up to date
- Comment on My attempt at explaining the fediverse in a way that is more fun and engaging 4 weeks ago:
A default instance is not ideal, but adding a barrier to joining is counterproductive. If someone has an interest in a specific area, they should be directed to join programming.dev or slrpnk.net etc. If they want a general purpose instance, then they should just be assigned a default.
Personally, I started the signup multiple times because there are hundreds of servers and if you haven’t already used the platform it’s impossible to know what you need.
Anyway, more than promoting Lemmy as a platform, we should be promoting Lemmy content. Mostly it is publicly visible without an account, and if someone sees Lemmy links 5-10 times, they may start wondering what they are missing out on.

I like it but I really think we spend too much time explaining the home instance. We should put a lot less emphasis on it because it’s stressful to people. Just invite them to join your home instance and they can change in the future if they want.

- Comment on How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.? 2 months ago:
There are different standards in different fields of knowledge. Medical science is different than journalism, which is different from history, which is different from public safety.
In general, a given field has sources that publish information with the highest standard of credibility. In many fields, these are peer-reviewed journals. They may be published by large universities (Harvard Law Review, Oxford Review of Economic Policy), by government bodies (e.g. Smithsonian Magazine, NIHR), by professional organizations (eg. JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine), or operate independently (e.g. The Lancet, Nature).

Again, oh no, who could have possibly predicted this, except for everybody who said they didn’t make any changes after the last time.

- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 2 months ago:
The sad truth is that this is exactly the answer. Rich people have more power by virtue of being rich.

This is the first such prime that was discovered using GPU cloud computing. It’s not just an incredible new discovery, but also a demonstration of what this type of hardware network may be capable.

Following this thread because I think it’s one of the very interesting unanswered questions about federation.

- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 months ago:
It’s a very stable, reliable, local, cross-platform file syncing that is pretty easy to set up. Basically, it allows you to have a shared folder (or folders) on multiple devices without using Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 months ago:
Oh No! This is terrible news. This IMHO is one of the most irreplaceable projects out there. I don’t know of another cross-platform local file syncing app that comes anywhere close to this. I hope that it can continue even if it’s not through the Play Store.
Google seems to be torpedoing open source developments with a number of decisions lately. Maybe they see F-Droid as a threat now that EU is making them open competition? Maybe they just don’t care.

If your bank account gets low enough, spontaneity goes back up.

- Comment on Would you trust AI to scan your genitals for STIs? 3 months ago:
Short answer, yes.
Finding complex patterns in noisy data is an application that AI is actually well suited for. It still requires human follow-up. Anyway, human experts make mistakes in these areas as well. There is a good chance that a well designed AI could be more accurate.

Hey, there’s particles, they are accelerating. You got what you paid for.
- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 3 months ago:
It’s a common shape in the universe: large spherical mass in the center, plane of objects rotating around it.
Imagine a new object orbiting Saturn in a random direction. At some point (two, actually), it will cross the plane of the rings. Eventually it will crash into an object. The average of the impact will be closer to the plane. Eventually, it will either align with the plane or its orbit will be unstable.
