- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 day ago:
As humorous as this sounds, this is not at all how battery chemistry works.
Some chemistry just charge faster than others.
for the common types of Lion or Lipo batteries, they max out pushing 2C which is around 30 minutes.
For something like LTO, where you lose capacity/density, you can get that up to like 4C (very rough numbers here as this all depends on the temperature of the battery while charging, age and other factors).
So like… this could have been accurate if this was referring to switching to LTO, but afaik, no one makes LTO batteries in this form-factor (not that it can’t be done though).

Is that why most politicians, musicians, comedians etc, still treat it as their main platforms to get info out? Because they don’t take it seriously?
The big problem is actually that they do. That social inertia works so slowly that they didn’t.
That some random crypto company making Bluesky was the closest to a solution, and it looks like it will also have some power crazed person leading it.

Gotta say this difference seems very arbitrary. He bought a company, and platform. Both direct how people spend their time. A platform is obvious but a company, he directs what the people who work there work on. Its definitely a match to somewhere far past where money buys you things.

No, that was absolutely that. Do you not think he gained a massive amount of control with that?

I’d say, at least for me, I try to remember that “cynical” is not always correct. Under the same idea as “trust, but verify"
Isn’t that already what cynicism prescribes?
Believing or showing the belief that people are motivated chiefly by base or selfish concerns; skeptical of the motives of others.
Negative or pessimistic, as from world-weariness.
Expressing jaded or scornful skepticism or negativity.
Skeptical of the integrity, sincerity, or motives of others.
It would seem, at least to me, we might not be disagreeing much but instead at a point of not quite getting our ideas across to each other, which is fair because words can have multiple meanings even within the same context.
I would say my point of contention are these 2 sentences
I extend the benefit of the doubt, but less so when there is some real risk or cost to me.
I lose little to nothing in keeping myself open to the possibility (and hope) that someone is being honest with me, while still looking for the signs that they might not be.
As to me, they seem somewhat contradictory, as the first with the benefit of the doubt seems contrary to the second with looking for the signs that they might not be worthy.

I find that viewing the world cynically is self-reinforcing, and it is a difficult cycle to escape from. Accurate or not
I know I cut partially into another sentence but to me its what my big takeaway is. There is an attitude that thinking cynically is bad, even when its accurate, and I don’t see the appeal. It seems to have the mild positive of letting people believe in their fellow man more, but then a bevy of negatives from allowing people to be manipulated more easily.
I prefer to think of humans as broadly better than that, without sacrificing pragmatic vigilance for the parts of my life where assumptions of potential innocence aren’t too risky
What level is that though? I’m struggling to think of a point where it doesn’t pay to accurately have a feeling of what the potential of the other person is.

Oh nowadays you can get 26tb drives pretty affordably, so a 4 bay NAS could be getting you 50TiB now.
Of course most people don’t need all that though… including me honestly but hey, that data isn’t going to collect itself.

Legally speaking, I think the only legally correct (very much not morally) correct thing to do is absolutely nothing whatsoever.
You might be required to call the authorities, but given that either option in theory may eventually lead to the loss of life I think you’d be most safe legally, if you didn’t touch a damn thing.

Alternatively, your setup is kinda slow and you’re kinda lazy (not used pejoratively).

In what way? You don’t own anything on the fediverse. The people who run the various instances do.
Maybe they even have a TOS that says you own it, but then what? its still up to them to continue to host it, and they have no contract with you.
Unless you are self hosting your own instance, and only count what is on that, you own no more than with larger social media sites.
To be clear, I think that federations certainly are better than monolithic sources for a variety of reasons for real people, but they aren’t a solution for ownership.

Hanlon’s Razor is a good thing to keep in mind to keep from becoming cynical about the whole of humanity.
I think its terrible precisely because of that. It has people make excuses for other people doing terrible things.
If you try to apply it as a general rule that doesnt apply to anything in particular, what good is it doing? Is it not then only clouding your judgement of groups?

What is the use of a rule of thumb that is only useful in exceptional cases and requires so much additional filtering?
More than, that, I’m not sure I agree as many types of manipulative behaviours thrive of people using your ruleset. Think many things sales people do, basically most police questions, and on and on.
Pen testers for companies regularly abuse the fact so many people think like this to breach companies with tactics as simple as “aw shit, I forgot my badge at home”.

This is in a category I’d like to call hopebait. People so badly wish things they feel are bad simply stopped themselves, that they’ll upvote anything that appears to confirm this.
In this instance, there is nothing of substance in this article to suggest the end of anything is anywhere near in sight.
One guy, who makes bets constantly, made another bet.
- Comment on RIP Dick 4 days ago:
I’d love for this to be the case, because it would imply the problem could be educated out of them.
Instead, I believe, based on a mountain of evidence being in what the actual talking points of the republicans are, that people are instead so much more focused on hurting the people they believe should be hurt, that they are willing to make ridiculous, absurd, obviously poor trade sacrifices in order to hurt those people.
I think that they basically majority feel this way, until they specifically are hurt, and then in those situations, its not like their viewpoints have changed, except that they don’t want to be hurt themselves.
To me, this is the only theory that makes sense and explains everything, like even how some marginalized people like many latin people (such as cubans) support the regime.
They believe themselves to be better than their neighbours and think their neighbours deserve pain. Only when they themselves, personally, experience that they, infact, will never be accepted as the ingroup, do they actually have a temporary change of heart.
Unfortunately, for all of these people to have that temporary change of heart, so many would be dead it wouldn’t make a difference.
This is just one of the many reasons its wasted effort to try to convert maga people, and makes much more sense to try to wake up the people with voter apathy.

As mentioned in a different comment, this isn’t the problem.
These aren’t planned to block out the sun everywhere. They’re planned to light up specific small regions.
There are real problems like the potential for mishaps blinding pilots (hopefully only temporarily), ruining earth based astronomy, adding to space waste, and more, but the fear of blocking out the sun would only be a real one if they had an amount of mirror coverage its hard to imagine.

They only see anything when it affects them, and you have to remember at the core of his actual beliefs, past the bullshit he says so he can sound like a semi not piece of shit human, is that he wants to hurt marginalized people.
It backfired on him a little bit too much for his liking, but many more are completely fine paying a big sacrifice to that end.
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 4 days ago:
Its been happening increasingly though, and I truly fear because while you might sometimes be able to tell, on average, people arent, and the owners are therefore able to control a significant proportion of the population.
I truly believe like 30% of the population focus on making life worse for others, 20 percent want things to generally be better, and 50 percent are just blowing in the breeze with a mildly positive on average take.
If they can get that 50% to think that the common opinion is hateful and shitty, they’ll just adopt that thinking that its the path of least resistance.
I don’t know how we combat that without bot armies of our own, while fighting on their home turfs as they own these platforms.

The thing is, the “people” propping it up, are massive tech companies with collectively trillions of dollars to burn on this thing that is making their stock prices soar.
They have no incentive as the primary investors doing the circular buying to stop. The big problem here is the stock market provides awful incentives to everyone.
