- Comment on If you're sexually frustrated & can never find a mate & decide to live a life of "nofap," what are the effects that buildup of sexual frustration has? 1 week ago:
Benefits: You can take all the meds with sexual side effects (e.g. most anti-depressants) which is actually a significant reason people ultimately stop taking them, and folks with testicles retain all their spermidine which low n RCTs have shown early evidence for autophagy-based longevity.

This response reminds me of my favorite comedy podcast: SuperEgo.

Anyone interested in this area check out Ted Chiang’s short story It’s 2059, and the Rich Kids are Still Winning.
Premise: In the future, scientists conduct an experiment to genetically modify poor children to improve their intelligence, so they have a better chance to succeed in life. While the experiment proves to be successful, and the children’s IQ increases, they still fail to achieve social progress, because the entire state system favors the rich only.

I use a period tracker to identify file extensions.
- Comment on Torpedos 4 weeks ago:
Privacy is good for other reasons, but now this is making me question whether the name for The Onion Router wasn’t a bacronym. Tor Pedos feels too much like an intentional checksum-joke if you ask me.

PDF file?

Right. Plus, as this commenter suggests, “species” is the correct singular and plural.

Target audience for OP’s post: if you liked this check out Futurama (from the creator of The Simpsons) where it’s in the opening sequence.

Nice try officer.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 5 weeks ago:
We’re speaking English and the US is by far the largest demographic for English speakers on BlueSky. The UK is the second closest and represents 5-6x less people. I genuinely wish you luck with how you engage with people in the future.

At the limit though they’d have to pay every coder with an interest in that software’s development and enough time for a hobby. I guess they could target distribution like Codeberg but alternatives would eventually fill their place.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 5 weeks ago:
Like a locked bootloader and bloat.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 5 weeks ago:
Oh snap, I misread it as Motorola bought GrapheneOS! This is way better news than I realized! Thx for the clarification. 🫡
Edit: On reflection can FOSS even be bought since it doesn’t have an owner to pay? I’m caught up now.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 5 weeks ago:
Different tense, I’m not using it in the privacy hardened sense.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 5 weeks ago:
See: PinePhone (Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS) for $149-199 via their intl site: pine64.org.
OR
SF’s Librem 5 (PureOS, plus Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS) for ~$700 via puri.sm.
Both shippable to the US. They’re unpolished OSs and expect delays, but they do exist. The competition will only increase going forward.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 5 weeks ago:
I was wondering if they’d require that new REAL ID versus the older (and cheaper) State ID, but from what I can tell it’ll just involve a user-declared age to preserve privacy. At least initially.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 5 weeks ago:
What’s the likelihood that Motorola will eventually lock down GrapheneOS though? Imho it’d be a bad move if they did. The FOSS mobile OS community has matured to the point that we don’t need to rely on for-profit monoliths any more. Motorola would be smart to lead the way to where the mobile device economy will be.

It’s a play on p-hacking.

Sure but our representatives should be held to a higher standard.

Mass surveillance for advertising seems marginally more benign than mass surveillance by one’s own government, personally. Though admittedly both are bad.
