- Comment on Why does information want to be free 5 days ago:
because it naturally transmits itself; There’s no way that once a person encounters new information, they don’t carry it with them.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
No, it’s not. It’s just a cop-out phrass.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
when you look at the hundred year chart, none of those events materially changes the slope.
Don’t sell on a downturn and you’ll be fine
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
Lol, it’s the Democrat’s fault that Republicans are tearing it down! Of course!
OP, this is what I’m talking about.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
Why do you say “do-nothing” when we’ve seen the ACA, IRA, multiple impeachments, even balancing the budget and the 1996 telecom act; or going back further, the Apollo program, Clean Air act, Civil Rights act, Voting Rights act, Medicare, etc.
What did we get from Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump?
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
Get the vote out for the Democrats, who have generally been the opposite of the smash-and-grab Republicans for the last several decades.
Don’t believe the agitators here and elsewhere pushing their targeted anti-Democrat messages to the benefit of the far-right. There really is a substantial difference in ethics, public good, stability, and recognition of reality and large-scale problems (like climate change)
- Comment on Magic is real, we just know how it works and call it technology 1 week ago:
or if it required the appropriately complex sexy dance with pronounced hip thrusts?
- Comment on Shipping costs will no longer exist if teleportation is invented. 2 weeks ago:
it will probably require lots of tokens though
- Comment on What is the first electronic device kids get these days? (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Game consoles?) 4 weeks ago:
my two-year-old has a Yoto player
- Comment on What should I call the cable I need? 1 month ago:
Not sure why it’s shitty - easy to assemble, cheap, effective at eliminating contact noise with a high-compliance wiping contact.
the only shitty part is the exposed retaining clip which gets broken off
- Comment on What should I call the cable I need? 1 month ago:
Clearly 6P2C
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 1 month ago:
Not a single link there to technical details about the projection.
- Comment on Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist? 1 month ago:
probably because they already own it.
- Comment on Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist? 1 month ago:
use some file system with snapshots and differential backups, like ZFS, and snapshot it daily. Stream the diffs somewhere they can’t login to and which doesn’t mount the FS.
This will invariably save their bacon at some point.
- Comment on Why do some companies like a utility put out ads? 2 months ago:
if you think they care about you, are doing a great job, and are spending your money well - you won’t seek to make them perform better as a regulated monopoly by contacting your public service commission or your legislative representative.
- Comment on YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process 2 months ago:
this is how those Marxist Leninst nation state actors work
- Comment on Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem. 3 months ago:
Lemmy.ml seems to have a clone of most of the “top reddits”, somehow the most subscribed communities out there, and all dominated by one or two posters who post pro-China/pro-DPRK/anti-Western content all day long.
It definitely is going to confuse newcomers and make a bad first impression. I wonder if they auto subscribe people to those so their propaganda ends up at the top of the communities list.
Part of the solution is to better inform new users the part of the community name is the host, just like Main St in one city is different from Main St in another city. You choose the city you want to live in first.
But, it may also be interesting to have the ability for admins to selectively merge like-named communities with other agreeable instance admins, and count subscribers to both as one group.
- Comment on Is there something like a spreadsheet for hierarchical data structures? 3 months ago:
Visual Studio Code with a jq plugin maybe
- Comment on Why are living beings not being cooked alive constantly at the tekpersatures we are? 3 months ago:
Evaporative cooling.
When it gets hot and humid enough for that to stop working (which we’re ratcheting toward), animals and people will die.
There’s a reason Death Valley is named that.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
if you have that, there’s probably location data and signin/unlock events that would tell a more compelling story. Especially if you use biometric unlock.
- Comment on The balance of security and privacy sounds weird when privacy IS security. 3 months ago:
punishing everyone for the crimes of a few is intolerable in many free societies
- Comment on I've massively improved my home organization with this free and open-source [Self-Hosted] tool [HomeBox] 3 months ago:
The thought of going through all of my storage boxes to catalog Hundreds of thousands of items so that I might search for them one day via a web UI seems a lot less productive than simply knowing that old USB suppliesare in the old USB supplies box and Christmas decorations are in the Christmas decorations box
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 3 months ago:
Because CRTs (and maybe other displays) are slaved to the input and insensitive to exact timing, and console chipset designers used convenient line counts/clock frequencies, consoles often have frame rates slightly different from standard NTSC (which is 60000/1001 or ~59.94 fields per second).
The 262 AND A HALF lines per field NTSC uses to get the dumb oscillator in a CRT to produce interlacing, is not convenient. “240p” moves the VSYNC pulse, shortening the frame duration.
So NES’s run at -60.1 FPS.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
You’ve mistaken facts for opinions.
Facts come from correlation of independent observations.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
You built a spambot?
- Comment on Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice? 4 months ago:
buy 3 or 4 more pairs as soon as you realize the fit perfectly.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 4 months ago:
not necessarily, just as interpreting assembly to understand intent is harder than interpreting “resultRows.map(r -> r.firstName)”, additional structure/grammar/semantics are footholds that allow the model to form patterns at a higher level of abstraction
- Comment on if pure water is not conductive why would condensation be an issue for electronics? 4 months ago:
It’s not pure once it starts dissolving or corroding the metal or other materials.
And, if you can sufficiently dry the item (including inside of things), pure water is not a threat to electronics; it’s often used to clean solder flux.
- Comment on Everyone uses 4d chess as the example of more intense gambits when 3d chess should suffice because chess is a 2d game 5 months ago:
it seems like they usually use it as a farcical example of “someone who thinks they’re smart”.
- Comment on I have to hand it to this guy. I'm seriously confused about the format of this..?? Russian propaganda, I'd say? 5 months ago:
-
illegal immigrants were never permitted to enter the country. Asylum seekers are here legally.
-
Asylum-seekers were subject to a process which vetted them.
-
The right to trial is absolutely a core foundation of the constitution.
