It's a given that any government given enough time will slide into tyranny. This was known in 1776 and is just a trusim when humans concentrate power.

Tools of the state should be limited, transparent, and not reserved for a elite.

They are just implying they will add a shit ton of friction to fdroid but not make it impossible

They made it the default search engine on their browser, which is now not working. Heh

With Android auto and apple carplay... The car is just a screen and the phone does all the work. I don't want the car to do anything

Kinda expected, I always disable leta when I setup a mullvad browser.

The biggest killer was not being able to go to the original engine. Let's search for the image of a duck, oh leta doesn't do images, ok open this search in Google... Not a option either. Adds lots of friction

I like the DDG option of having a g! Escape to Google with my query if I need it.

It's almost like this isn't about porn at all, but an attack on the open internet and being about to track every one

Actually it's used in everything, it's available, it's well studied, it's cheap, and most importantly it grows fast in a lab, so it's easy to work with....

I wish I was joking, but lots of in vitro human research is done on the poor women's cancer cells when the research has nothing to do with cancer, it's quite the confounder

There are some unifying theories of cancer that do kinda make it into one thing: https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00043

I.e. the Warburg effect, and damaged mitochondria being st the root of all cancers.

In your example the flu is not just one thing either, it's a group of viruses that broadly have the same symptoms

Your philosophy is antithetical to existence.

Being alive kills other things, nature is competition. From bacteria and viruses in your body constantly being killed, to animals in the food supply (even veggies and croplands have pest control), just living in a safe community relies on the killing of other life: removing dangerous animals from the community, keeping pests out of food stores, keeping the water clean (kills water based life)

The phone you are using is at the end of a very complicated supply chain that mines resources from the earth, which requires killing animals... Moving resources across the earth, which requires killing animals (fish hit by boats, animals run over by cars, birds hit by trucks, pest control in all the production and storage facilities), etc.

When we maintain fasting for 5+ days we have a fairly large bump in autophagy, a state where the body kills off and recycles damaged cells. This state can cause some types of cancer to be more obvious to our immune systems and allow the tumor to be attacked. In some cases otherwise inoperable tumors can be removed after shrinking them through fasting.

Cancer cells can't metabolize fat, when your fasting and in ketosis your body is only supplying fat and the cancer has nothing to eat (mostly, there is some glucose produced as a baseline)

I.E. fasting slows down the cancer energy rate so that the immune system can start catching up.

This is why the press-pulse cancer protocol uses deep ketosis and fasting in addition to supreasing the bodies glucose production. I.e. never adding external sugar into the body at all during treatment.

There is debate on that. There is a mitochondrial model of cancer that unifies cancer into a single mechanic. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00043

This is different from the common somatic mutation theory which views cancer as a bad generic mutation of human DNA

I'm glad their very ill advised move didn't kill the entire internet archive project.

If they are going to do something so reckless again they should make it a totally new project not attached to the internet archive at all.

They might not get so lucky again in the future

 

In moderation has eased itself into the lexicon of all polite conversation when your trying to get someone to stop doing a bad thing, but you don't want to scare them with the prospect of totally stopping yet.

  • Drinking... in moderation
  • Smoking... in moderation
  • Recreational Drugs... in moderation

Or when it comes from people in authority it just means "I'm not ready to have this fight, so I'll just say in moderation as a catch all so you wont get mad at me"

Functionally overalls are just pants with a really high waist line (neckline?)

pants that don't stop just become overalls... or a apron with legs.

 

I was watching two people buy ice cream using their phones today. It occurs that they can only do that because the central bank that controls their phone apps/bank account hasn't frozen their favors.

If money represents personal favors between two people, introducing a third party into money means someone else can show you disfavor (heh)

Fiat money is "controlled" centrally, but not each transaction.

Digital Fiat money is both "controlled" centrally, but each transaction must be approved by a third party (outside of some fringe distributed ledgers).

Like if you were a human rights reporter in a war torn country, and you tried to buy ice cream... maybe you couldn't anymore, all your favors have been expired.

Silent films boomed at the start of film, and quickly got replaced by talkies.

Nowadays people at home are watching a movie, talking to friends, and playing on their phone at the same time. Short format content is often consumed silently. The artform of silent film making is having a resurgence (in 1-5 minute clips)

I've browsed coub, tiktok, youtube shorts, instagram reels... all muted while doing something else

The Talkie days are numbered.

 

The recent discussion of instance admin burnout has got me thinking about how do we create a sustainable model going forward to prevent admins from being over burdened.

The biggest workload for admins is they become the defacto community moderators for every community with inactive mods, inattentive mods, etc.

I imagine this is part of the overloading stress that caused lemm.ee to throw in the towel.

Mandatory Moderation Model

  • 1 - Every community that doesn't follow the following rules get's autolocked
  • 2 - Every community on a instance needs a moderator
  • 3 - Every moderator must be active
  • 4 - The report backlog for a community must not get stale or too old (24h/48h)

Admin's would be moderator managers, and not get involved in user posts, just moderator issues

  • A - Moderator not following instance TOS
  • B - Moderator acting in bad faith
  • C - Unlocking communities when moderators fix the initial issue

What are your thoughts? Would this help larger instances scale better?

I have two lemm.ee communities and I very much want to keep the post history in one community for discover ability and archival purposes.

What tools and methods are available to transfer posts from one instance to another?

 

It might be nice if lemmy clients (voyager, default client, etc) would make a suggestive pop-up:

Would you like to block this community? Your downvote ratio is 100% over the last X days/Y posts.

This is good for lemmy because it will let users have a more positive experience, its helping guide people to get better use of the user interface.

I've been looking into some federation issues, and the lemmy-federate tool is great. Especially the errors, check the errored instances to find out why they are erroring.

I've found two instances where one of my communities wasn't federating because it was misconfigured and the community was blocked.

I've found two instances where the federation was working, but because I as a user was banned, the communities were empty.

And I found one instance that WAS federated by a user, then the user left the instance, and now the community is just dangling without updates.

https://lemmy-federate.com/

 

The instances being used are

  • lemmy.doesnotexist.club
  • chinese.lol

Here is an example of the coordinated downvoting https://hackertalks.com/post/8692093

Of course its a controversial user who got someone angry enough to automated downvoting @DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today

But you can see every post they make gets 53ish downvotes from these two instances, plus some organic ones after a few hours.
