Just this morning I tagged along to an activity a friend of mine has been doing a few weeks, and had some nice conversations with people I've never met before. Humanity, in person, in the context of common interests, is fulfilling for

There's also the case in Australia where, despite successive governments that were (likely monetarily* ) opposed to solar and wind, people power kinda took over to get the unexpectedly high penetration of home solar panel installations

I moved to Lawnchair when I recently-ish migrated to GrapheneOS. I can't remember why I didn't go with Nova Launcher again, might have been related to the permissions required. Lawnchair has fewer options, ie. is simpler, but I ha

It's more important even than anti-virus since advertising, nowadays, is so ubiquitous and regularly-enough the actual vector for a virus infection.

I like how, the way you've described it, it sounds as if, with the effort they go to to make ads as difficult to identify as possible, they're trying to hide their shame. It's tacit admission that people need to be 'tric

Not in a civilized society. And I don't think there are many people that would prefer to live under 'might is right'. Or at least they'd find out pretty quick that it's not exactly what they thought it might be.

Exactly. This administration has exposed the fragility of the very structure of the US form of government, and building a new, better structure is, in my opinion, practically impossible without revolution. It appears to me that the US will

That's the only way I know how to get an em dash. That's how I create them. I sometimes have to re-write something to force the "dash space <word> space" sequence in order for Word to create it, and then I copy and

Anecdote-only I actually prefer to work in the office, it's easier for me to have separate physical spaces to represent the separate roles in my life and thus conduct those roles. It's extra effort for me to apply role X where I w

I'm not really replying to the article, just going tangentially from the "dead internet theory" topic, but I was thinking about when we might see the equivalent for roads: the dead road theory. In X amount of time a significa

To extend what 'viccis' said above, the meaning of "social media" has changed and is now basically meaningless because it's been used by enough old media organisations who lack the ability to discern the difference

I think that the kind of thinking and process following required of getting around these barriers will lead to better outcomes than "just letting them have it". They're at least earning something they want, more than they wer

When you say 'Australian grid prices are coming down a lot' I don't think you're talking consumer prices. I don't have the exact 'before' numbers on me, but our peak electricity costs went up from around 4

That will be the case, ie. cognitive dissonance / denial, for many future climate change caused incidents as well. This kind of reasoning: "California wildfires and tornadoes have always been part of the US weather patterns"
