While I agree in principle, the response from the CEO, was: only like 5% of people we give money to are racist Nazi bigots “controversial”, let’s agree to disagree and move on.
Which is massive narcissitic, non-empathic behaviour. It’s giving me less “you don’t matter because soon you’ll be dead”-vibes and more “I am literally unable to understand your concerns and empathise with you”-vibe, which to me personally is much more damning.
I switched to /e/ a while ago, they have a feature called advanced privacy. commercial Lemmy clients like Connect and Raccoon have trackers embedded and are blocked automagically. ^I use Jerboa btw^
Might be - on the other hand, /e/ already supports f-droid out of the box, so there may be a possibility just google play will be going away…
Plaster Lathe. My old nemesis. Probably with reed or peat for stabilization, so it explodes everywhere once you touch it… Wish you the best of Luck.
Also: napping is important at our age.
As someone who electrically renovated houses without beeing an electrician. If you find an electrician who is willing to work with you: do a full planning of the house. (What lines go where etc) ask them to go over this, and pay them for their time. If all goes well this will cost them an evening or three (depending how many flaws they find in your design). Do the wiring and drilling raw sockets yourself. Buy the top sockets wholesale, then have the electrician make a fixed price for installing sockets and wiring your fuse box , it will be much cheaper.
Great site!
I have a basilisk process running just so I can switch over and tinker a bit. Wish it was more connected to the rest of the system…
Car centric infrastructure is a bitch.
True. Just a happy accident…
Well the AI thing just happens to increase demand for giga-lots more electricity, making fossil fueled / nuclear power plants a nescessity.
This is. … something ?! I’m flabbergasted. Thank you, wish I could give you more than one upvote!
I read one paper behind these claims, and it is interesting? Definitely a wild rabbit hole if you are so inclined. Some highlights:
Paedophiles also have lower self-reported height than do hebephiles or teleiophiles (Cantor et al., 2007),
The paper then asserts absolute height is a measure of health.
The distinction they make is interesting. They discern between:
— Right- handedness
— left- handedness
— mixed handedness
and — ambigous handedness
In summary, paedophiles demonstrated high rates of non-right-handedness, … whereas those who had a sexual preference for pubescent children evidenced increased ambiguous-handedness. Analysis of LQ scores indicative of ambiguous-handedness demonstrated that this was the correct classification as opposed to mixed-handedness.
Results support a view of ambiguous-handedness as less pathological than previously hypothesized, …
Rates of left-handedness in most neurologically typical populations are at or below about 11% (Perelle & Ehrman, 1994).
teleiophiles [offenders targeting adults(17+ in this research] were not entirely typical. … with a rate of … 7.4% left-handedness.
Paedophiles, however, demonstrated an accentuation of atypical lateral preference, with an elevated rate of … left-handedness (14.6%) …
Seems like solid research, but some of the results and assertions are … well. Let me put it this way: I would like to see more research. It points to an interesting direction (criminal offenders beeing developmentally delayed), but I would like to know if a differently sourced population exhibits the same traits.
Wait you can tag people here? How?
Nothing really interesting just a user stating it has happened to them.
In typical MS fashion this might be very hard to debug with the hundreds of interacting components./s
In all seriousness they reviewed their internal docs not even the code (likely because it’s extremely complex) and said fixing this would brake existing functionality. I think “some cases” is doing heavy lifting for “we know many cases, but won’t tell the bad guys out there”.
“We originally looked at a code change for this issue, but after further review of design documentation, changes to code could break compatibility with functionality used by many applications.”
Year of the Linux (Server|Desktop). Seriously. If you are in IT pls look into this (and hide your RDP server behind some VPN. No not MS RDP Gateway.)
I used a Fairphone 4 with /e/ and it was good. Not great, but useable. I expect the hardware bugs I ran into (using the camera only worked like 20 times before the phone needed a restart, Bluetooth randomly not working) to be ironed out by now. Currently on an old Samsung and it is more solid, but I also liked the environmentalism with the fairphone. Anyone with a Fairphone 5 and something like a glucose sensor thats in constant use?
plus it’s their CEO, or their community manager in their name, directly addressing the questioner and going “you don’t understand, under our big tent approach only 5% of people we give money to are controversial, let’s not address your concerns and move on.”
