Yep, (social) media is optimized in fueling your emotions, and well the strongest emotions are negative, so it’s mostly optimized towards that.
Avoiding this, doing something more healthy leads to a better mental (and likely physical as it’s connected) health IMO/IME.

Yeah I think I recently have read here on Lemmy that the amygdala is bigger for MAGA, so I think the opposite is true indeed.
Which would also make more sense, because of all the irrational anxieties those scum has…

Yeah obviously, that’s why I said additionally to the other answers.

I mean downloads basically limited by your bandwidth, usually the highest quality (like blu-ray rip 4k, almost no compression) etc.
But if you don’t have issues, well probably don’t bother.
Another thing if you aren’t using a VPN (which you probably should), they’re safer, as well… they’re private.

Additionally to the other answers, take a look at stremio with Torrentio. A few of my friends use it (I’m using a private tracker), it’s basically as convenient as using Netflix AFAICS.

Nah please, we need younger actually representatives of the population, not ancient people (as much as I like Sanders). There’s various young progressive candidates that are suitable when the Dems allow them…

Which I think is almost worse… think about concentration/extermination camps (which I think our animal industry is basically)
And it’s perfectly healthy to be vegan (maybe even more healthy at this point when done right, than meat consumption).
My main reason though for that is less moral than just wanting to be less wasteful, i.e. meat is just inefficient. I predict that we at some point will move past meat consumption, it’s just not necessary, even when considering taste…

I’m not even sure about plants not having something similar as a nervous system. They live on different timescale, but it’s impressive what e.g. Trees in forests are capable of (with a little help of funghi)

Ok, I like that attitude, but could you go into more detail? AFAIK hardware wise the samsung will likely be better in every way I think?

And feet. Athlete’s foot is a thing, wearing the same kind of shoes all the time doesn’t help with moisture.

Yes, and blending in between, including RGB, can enhance the quality of light as well to estimate a natural light source.
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 month ago:
There’s various metrics, like CQS, CRI or newer versions of it.
It’s basically about how close the wavelength spectrum is compared to a black-body radiator given a color temperature (e.g. an incandescent lamp or the sun).
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 month ago:
Though IME, the light quality of a real white LED is better than the mix of an RGB led. Also interesting: the cooler the LED is the higher the quality of the light.

No it’s not entirely clearly defined. But a few elements appear in all of them: Anti- communism/socialism, dictator, far-right idiologies, nationalism…
I wouldn’t say any if these are desired by leftism, or rather opposites.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 3 months ago:
The problem though (with AI compared to humans): The human team learns, i.e. at some point they probably know what the mistake was and avoids doing it again. AI instead of humans: well maybe the next or different model will fix it maybe…
And what is very clear to me after trying to use these models, the larger the code-base the worse the AI gets, to the point of not helping at all or even being destructive. Apart from dissecting small isolatable pieces of independent code (i.e. keep the context small for the AI).
Humans likely get slower with a larger code-base, but they (usually) don’t arrive at a point where they can’t progress any further.

Reached mid-thirties, I’m still having no idea what the *** is going on, the longer I live, the less everything around me makes sense (and I don’t think it’s me that changes that much…).
Watching what’s going on in the US for instance, just results me in shaking my head in disbelief, without having any idea what’s going on…

I did that as a (stupid) kid. I did obviously survive. But it was one of the few sockets that wasn’t really protected, so the result was a power-outage for the whole street, and a few guys with fancy protective clothing (against high-voltage) came to fix this…

I’d still call it extrapolation, it creates new stuff, based on previous data. Is it novel (like science) and creative? Nah, but it’s new. Otherwise I couldn’t give it simple stuff and let it extend it.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 8 months ago:
Right but you have to begin somewhere, and being a good example for others certainly helps as well.
I try to change my life such that it doesn’t impact me much while having fairly large effect. For instance I’m basically vegan (still eat meat occasionally, e.g. when it’s otherwise thrown away), I even don’t want to eat meat anymore, the taste just got worse for me over time.
It also has effects on the market, e.g. Meat replacement products are quite affordable and popular.

Looks slightly off TBH, sources? Nuts being lowest, while Palm oil being quite high. Nuts are efficient, especially when considering caloric value, but I’m pretty sure something like a potato is better per kg. Palm oil AFAIK is a very efficient (most efficient vegetable) oil, might be that the destruction of highly carbon rich forest is factored in there maybe…

Nah you got to start at the source, more efficient, eat the (future-) parents.

As audiophile as I am (own very expensive (> 1k) headphones for instance) and additionally I’m musician/producer.
I don’t think you can hear the difference between 320kbit bitrate vs flac in a blindtest (this is important, to avoid biasing yourself). I could notice what was a 128kbit mp3 and flac in a blindtest and already that was minimal (and is likely mostly related to the 16k cut-off of 128kbit mp3), but 320kbit, nope…
If you notice a difference it likely has to do with different mastering/LUFS etc. not the compression artifacts themself.

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).
I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)
- Comment on Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free 1 year ago:
Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.
- Comment on Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free 1 year ago:
Yeah though I think it’s a little bit too political at times. I get it, Trump and Musk is destroying the USA from within, but I don’t need to read about it in every second post…
- Comment on Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free 1 year ago:
My fear is that, if lemmy gets too successful, that regarding bots the same fate may occur.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 year ago:
Yeah destruction is done quickly, reputation and generally constructive policies (especially internationally) takes time.
What the US/Trump-Administration is doing, is just dumb (even for themselves). Europe almost has to slowly(?) cut ties with them, with what they’re currently doing. And I do think “cutting ties with the US” increasingly gets more popular for a reason… Let’s just hope that the same fate won’t come over europe and that the current success of right-wing parties in europe is temporary…
