Watch Live: UFO hearing underway as House panel pushes for more transparency
  • yea…theres so many fallacies with ufo conspiracies…its just boring…

    like why are these aliens so damn interested in contacting the US…and why do they suck so bad at driving their intergalactic spaceships????

  • Watch Live: UFO hearing underway as House panel pushes for more transparency
  • see that would actually be interesting…an upper dimensional being somehow presenting in our observable dimensions (like how a cube would appear as a line flashing in and out while passing through the 2nd dimension)…that would be a fun (and maybe probable) conspiracy theory…real science and theory is actually even more insane and fantastical than made up conspiracies

  • Watch Live: UFO hearing underway as House panel pushes for more transparency
  • my take is that just because objects cant be identified doesnt mean theyre alien.

    also that the statistical likelihood of another life form with the same or greater intelligence as humans contacting us on this timeline is so infinitely small that its not even worth thinking about.

  • Watch Live: UFO hearing underway as House panel pushes for more transparency
  • lol forreal.

    also why do so many of these conspiracy nuts apparently have no grasp on just how old and how large the universe is? like please tell me how creatures more advanced than humans (which took 4.5 billion years on one planet to evolve enough complexity to even understand space travel) would somehow line up perfectly with our timeline and somehow be close enough and interested enough in us to say hello, but also be super sneaky about it…mmkay

    iPhone 15 Pro Action Button
  • yea id be fine with that…but my worry is apple restricts it to a predefined set of choices with no shortcuts integration at all. which is what they do with triple clicking the side button in accessibility for some reason.

    and yea backtap is fine but between the tapping and shortcuts triggering it either doesn’t work or takes way too long. just think shortcuts could use way better integration to other parts of ios including hardware. but should feel more seamless

  • also this would prob encourage further adoption of the shortcuts app for users and developers. apple could kind of “force them” to use it and further explore how powerful of an app it is.

    i know from my own personal experience i dont use the app at all even though ive seen examples of how useful it can be, because it still feels like an overall clunky experience to use and to fully understand.

    i consider myself decently tech literate (i made it on here at the very least lol) and have yet to feel the urge to put aside the time to really dig into that app.

    theres no way the average iphone user or id wager even the average pro user even knows what the shortcuts app does, let alone uses it effectively.

  • iPhone 15 Pro Action Button

    I had a neat thought, which probably has a 0% chance of coming true; but what if apple ties functionality of the new “action button” to shortcuts and really opens up ios functionality and customizability to users of the pro phones.

    this would further differentiate the two phone types to users, especially with the island coming to the regular line as well this year, apparently. (and we all know apple would love to play up the change from a switch to button and attempt to upsell the shit out of it).

    and perhaps updates to shortcuts and the additional ram will make launching actions a bit snappier.

    anyway just daydreaming my lemonheads 8)

    lemmygrad.ml and other themed instances

    So I just discovered lemmygrad.ml because I saw a comment that described it as “an extremist instance”. I popped over there, and while there are def some interesting takes, it seems like a well moderated instance with extremely strict rules centered around leftism, and provides very focused content.

    There does also seem to be a lot of pro-china content, which in and of itself is not a bad thing. China is an important country (they all are) that contributes a lot to the world through tech, agriculture, and industry. At the same time though, like every other major superpower, it commits atrocities at home and abroad.

    My question to those familiar with/to the instance: what would lemmygrad.ml’s position on the tiananmen square massacre be? I’m too afraid to ask myself; I don’t want to get yelled at by any militant leftists right now hehe.

    I feel this is a pretty good litmus test for how “extreme” an instance is, as denying/skewing historical events seems to be a pretty good extremism determinator.

    Thoughts?

    Peace & Love My Lemmings
