Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

Do you mean abominations? lol.

Also isn’t LoRa proprietary/patent encumbered?

I’ve noticed that too. Is it related to covid you think? As in it was like this before and now we’re returning to normal progression as people rebuild social connections and lose time. Or is it that the whole dev economy is changing with layoffs and such that devs are leaving the industry altogether? Or something else even?

I really appreciate this reply, and the effort you’ve taken citing here. I was in disbelief of the fact that chickens can be grown to slaughter that fast.

That would account for about 6 weeks of price increase. Chickens don’t live that long.

Dude what?

A chicken may live for 5–10 years, depending on the breed.[24]

Yeah, everything I’ve been hearing in the last couple of years has talked about how traditional fact checking methods do not sway beliefs. The few things I’ve heard work are innoculation and ridicule.

Inoculation (telling someone about conspiracies before they’re encountered) seems like it could be used in favor of whatever ideology, not just the truth.

And ridicule (couch sex memes and “weird”), seems to work because it specifically targets the “follow the strong man” approach that many fools take to belief building. Like that can’t be applicable generally, can it?

I am yet to learn of a solid framework + practical methods which work to guide people toward belief based in reality.

Perhaps it’s multi-faceted. First make them feel like part of a community, which grounds them in experience and removes the most insane conspiracies/fear, then they’ll be grounded enough to accept some media & scientific literacy education?

• gmail you can forward all mail to another account.
• Youtube, you could try following your subscriptions via RSS/ATOM feed reader. It’s honestly just like regular YT but without the recommendation engine.

If you’re liking and sharing you could just think the stuff is cool. I don’t think you’d be flagged for that. There are however specific products that when purchased, that info is related to feds. If you recall, Amazon, eBay, PayPal send a list of everyone who has purchased a 3d printer to the FBI every two months. https://www.ammoland.com/2024/05/dhs-admits-to-monitoring-3d-printer-purchases-with-the-help-of-amazon-ebay-and-paypal/

Accelerationism is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard of.

Fair. I just learned about and like PeerTube so far (activitypub federated video hosting), but it’s has even more infantile adoption than Lemmy does. I don’t know that anyone I follow on youtube posts there, and if they do I don’t know how to find them.

I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn’t understand it.

Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

The choice paralysis is real. I chose lemm.ee because it was easy to type into the address bar, and I’ve stuck around because the admin seems pretty level-headed.

Idk if you can transfer likes comments and posts, but you can go to your old account from a new one and star everything with the new account pretty easily. So that at least can transfer.

Ok, that’s what I’ll do. Thanks so much for the info! 😁

Most just don’t know how to properly file their W-4 to not have taxes withheld in the first place.

How do you do this? How do you calculate what to personally withhold and pay? Is it simply calculating through the income tax?

I second Matrix, though I’ve been waiting for e2ee direct p2p (the Dendrite project) do be worked on for a while. Having something like that, that’s truly decentralized while secure and hiding metadata where possible, would be a dream.
