He gets it
  • First off, the potted plants metaphor makes absolute zero sense. If that's your reference to what is understood here, then I agree. But hey, do yourself a favor and fully retire so your illogical and full-bore totalitarian/authoritarian/fascist propaganda won't ruin your fragile mind any further!

    Edit: If anyone wants to add this first class ass hat to a spam call list, according to lawyers.justia.com his cell is (814) 283-5788 and his email is [email protected]. His website is http://melvinmcdowell.com but take it easy, this dude thinks web3 is a valid concept...

  • The Century Long War on Cannabis is a War on Science
  • Of course, but check out UntrackMe from F-Droid. It provides all privacy focused alternative websites for some of the most used sites. That's where I learned about wikiless

  • OceanGate listed job posting for ‘submersible pilot’ during doomed Titan rescue efforts
  • There was one earlier this year or at the end of last year which provided invidious links for YouTube post, but then I stopped seeing it around. Apparently now there's many bot's being utilized or will soon be from the sound of it.

  • I really like it here. However, almost 90% of my feed is either posts about Reddit, or Lemmy/kbin meta analysis. We need actual content and communities over here!
  • It's about subbing to anything in your wheel house and sorting by new. That's the only way it made since before the migration and still does. At some point it wont make much sense, but not quite yet.

  • Sudden Heat Increase in North Atlantic Seas Could Have Devastating Effects
  • I've thought the boar attacks are due to the big fasting moving objects being close to their offspring. But this makes sense too. Most likely a combo

  • Sudden Heat Increase in North Atlantic Seas Could Have Devastating Effects
  • It's all connected and why the planet is so intriguing to study from the macro scale to the molecular level and everything in between!

  • Thoughts on RHEL going closed source ?
  • Since Fedora is upstream of RHEL I'd like to think it'll be unaffected from the move. But only time will tell

  • Display and font size setting
  • Check out the Lynx Launcher. It's tracker free from top to bottom and gives you 5% intervals for text size per screen. I love using it and it's always one of my first installs on a phone!

    Edit: You can alter icon's and icon sizes too, plus with Arcticons you've got a solid foundation for a clean phone layout.

  • Venezuela ‘Invaded’ by Road Travel Bloggers
  • Oh ya, media censorship is the answer to conflicting view points 100%! Especially by a self described "group of journalists, analysts, editors, proofreaders, web designers, and media junkies who embrace progressive causes. Although our content focuses foremostly on Venezuelan news and analysis, our team hails from all corners of the globe publishing wide ranging articles on various topics. We understand the relevance of information from diverse nations, voices and sources, as well as the need for international context regarding Venezuela, from the perspective of Chavistas, meaning socialist-minded, anti-imperialist and Patria Grande driven people". Like who needs anti-imperialism being discussed in an increasing imperialistic world?

  • KDE Plasma 5.27.6 is Out to Improve Plasma Wayland Session, Support for Flatpak Apps
  • This is the way! KDE is the best environment for any distro as far as I'm concerned.

  • Lemmy fix it
  • I'm not familiar with 3BP's design process for the Droplet, but Aptera's design is 100% based on aerodynamics. Aptera's engineering team is amazing and as long as it made sense regarding wind resistance, it was selected. The trunk can become a tent with the Aptera too, pretty ingenious.

  • Privacy Search Engines
  • Maybe add ecosia.org to the list, definitely a privacy focused search engine.

  • what's your album of the year?
  • I can't get enough of Daily Breads album Invisible Cinema. He's from ATL and while of the best electronic around, his sample game is unreal. Ton's of amazing hiphop audio samples from cover to cover.

  • Best way to receive anonymous SMS? (germany)
  • Really? That's surprising, what are they asking for per month?

  • OBS Studio 29.1.3 Improves the Source Record Plugin, AMF Encoder, and More
  • Proprietary broadcasting software companies hate this one trick!

  • Pat Gelsinger & Linus Torvalds Talk Linux, Open Source, Technology & More
  • TLDW: Open source or nothing, but if your project is the first to truly blow up, you need to make git.

  • Calendly alternative for privacy friendly calendar
  • It's kind of a long shot, but a privacy based online doc option I recently learned about, which surprised me now 5+ years in, is etherpad. I really like the https://board.net hosted option, as the company behind it enables all the actually needed extension and isn't afraid to be privacy focused first. But you can host it yourself too. It's pretty much a “google doc” page, so it would need a table added to be filled in by the end user. Still only accessible by the folks you give the HTML link to though. Plus, you can always cut and paste the data into a new doc and give that new link to the folks who need it 🤷

  • Steam Client Now Lets You Enable Hardware Acceleration on Linux
  • I know it may sound super basic, because it is, but I've learned basic is always a solid 1st fix attempt with Linux…I'd just reinstall the whole thing top to bottom. Recently had an update on my OS which kept failing (days), so eventually I reinstalled the associated packages from top to bottom then boom, update and restart to install. I see it kinda as a “did you power off and power back on the machine” IT tip though lol

    Edit: In most distro's, instead of “sudo install xxx” it's “sudo reinstall xxx”

    You don't lose any of data in my experience, plus it can fix an array of problems!

  • Genome Editing Used To Create Disease Resistant Rice
  • As a grad student, if it's not a research paper I tend to ask for the paper they sourced for the info. But look over the very brief synopsis I gave below to see why it's logical to conclude the organ/human body-on-a-chip could surpass CRISPR. I even put together a presentation on the paper published on the research. Straight up, mind blowing cover to cover. While CRISPR envokes ethical dilemmas, the chip tech solves many while also providing breakthrough research and treatment options!
