I've never heard of this publication but the clickbait title is a mark against it.

I've just learned about lemmy today (so not exactly an expert...), but the fact this event is positioned as a negative seems like a harmful take. This decision makes perfect sense. Beehaw requires applying to sign up with a sort of co

I agree that decentralization would be great for social media because anything successful would have to solve some interesting problems that would push social media forward as a tool. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, email etc all have fairly com

I swear YouTube kids is worse for children than 18+ YouTube. My nephew was obsessed with MrBeast. Every device we had was littered with search histories of Mr Beast, and it was infuriating because of how low-brow the content is. It'

Reddit should have ended the call politely and told the Apollo guy to reach out with some sort of negotiator/liaison/agent/manager on the line.

"High standard" implies more than just efficacy of the content. Perhaps AI-generated content would be better than human-generated, but I just don't know if I'm ready to read a bunch of articles and perhaps interact with

I think this is a great point about nuance and "what works for one person, at one point in time, may not always work." For some the "rubber band" method may just be a silly reminder, but for others it could be a mild for

There have been many innovative organisms that produced an "unnatural" material. The earth was covered in a huge, dense, undecayed layer of dead tree matter before bacteria eventually evolved to break it down... 60 million years

I bought a Windows gaming laptop in December, first time Windows gaming since 2010. Currently I consistently get BSOD after 5-10 minutes of use and have spent 10-15 hours troubleshooting it. I've railed in the past about how Windows us

Mucinex is historically not DXM, it's Guaifenesin, that's what they built their brand on. Recently they've revised their ingredients because Guaifenesin is a mild stimulant and they know that shoppers are not reading the acti

> The rule of thumb with acetaminophen is to know the rules. You should not expect everyone to be as chemistry-inclined as you. My friend recently recommended a Walgreens med. It was generic Zyrtec. I told him that I had been using Zyr

Yep, I'm not a language expert but I remember a South American language, maybe related to Quechua, where a sentences contain a syllable that indicates "I am repeating hearsay, I don't know if this is true". Pretty cool.

I haven't used VR much but a few friends discuss the unsettling post-VR experience of depersonalization/unreality after you take the headset off. One guy isn't too "sensitive" to anything in general so it was surpr

Arguably worse than nothing in some situations. It's easy to speculate that upvotes/downvotes may contribute to bubbles, blind spots, and polarization when there is a tribal divide or some other kind of groupthink pathology. edit

I agree but as with basically all things... it's messy. North Korea believes deeply in education. I fear that only once one political party's view of heresy has been solidly ingrained in the education system, will we then see ed

Most of us are perfectly capable of learning new technologies, and there is no shortage of software and disciplines begging for our attention and adoption. For me it's not a matter of "can I learn this" but "do I want t

Correct nobody has "the answers" but I don't really understand why this is new or cause for concern(not that your message totally indicated despair). It's not all-or-nothing, either-or. We don't have to have 100%

I remember when my grandfather and I were arguing about whether or not SNES or Sega Genesis was better(he worked for Motorola who made the Sega Genesis processor). Eventually we agreed that whichever one had more buttons on its controller

His whole thing is getting excited about technology, almost to a fault, without caring much about realism or financials. Combine that with brilliance and he is definitely a force for good in this world.

You are right, the stupidest part of this is ignoring the fact that real-world use would cause the currency to appreciate. I would say there is value in whatever path led you to investigate a "revolutionary" technology during its

Yes the money=time thing is very true. Actually time is often more valuable than money, especially as you age. I know someone worth several million dollars who drove home and back(30 minutes one way) because he forgot a $10 coupon. This

You can also grab it with both hands and just break the whole banana in half with a quick pop. The line will be clean. Hand one half to your date as if nothing happened.

I use a gaiter for this and it's crucial. It gets damp with breathing, haven't really figured out a good solution besides spinning the gaiter around every once in a while.

Southwest Airlines uses 737 MAX planes. As an ignorant customer with no real sense of how fast and loose Boeing and Southwest have gotten, I've been much more hesitant to go with Southwest.

To me the killer language feature of Lua is tables, specifically being able to use ANYTHING as an index in a table. Really powerful. Its portability is its next feature. Beyond that, I have grown to somewhat dislike Lua over the years due

I was fairly deep in religious culture through college and can definitely argue that the "values" I learned were somewhat crippling in a liberal society. Especially ideas around interpreting intimacy as a sign of commitment. I w
