Genuinely of the belief half the reason people permit billionares is mathematical iliteracy.

If you aren't filled with murderous rage at the idea of that much wealth being held back from those who need it you either don't understand the scale or don't have empathy.

Lichen: exist in multitudes in some of the least hospitable environments on the planet.

Social darwinsts: in shambles

The hand wiring is really easy. It just takes a long time.

Basically it's just a grid, and a diode per switch. Then you wire each column and each row into a microcontroller.

You can do it!

Please, you're insulting the dignity of the office.

It's important that we understand the people engaging in mass murder are better than us.

When you are an exploitative currency bloc that forces austerity onto people, keeps ex colonies under your thumb, enforced a deeply unjust legalistic framework of international reliations, but you have some decent regulations and don't axe literally all research.

Veganism is a philosophy of minimising harm to animals as much as is practicable. There are no health reasons for being vegan, there are health reasons for following a plant based diet which vegans do instrumentally. A "vegan for health" would e.g. wear skins and fur.

So this article fundamentally misunderstands veganism. Then applies it inappropriately.

There is a massive rise in b6 poisoning. Although it's in fucking everything leading to double dosing. E.g. magnesium supplement? b6, hangover cure? b6, energy drink? b6, multivitamin? b6 etc

TGA gonna regulate it. Rare win for that horrible body: https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/sweeping-vitamin-b6-restrictions-proposed

Take a break mate, get some perspective. There's no need to flip out.

I get that if you live in the empire stuff is scary but you need to look at proper security models.

If being online and voting is dangerous activitypub is not something you can use. Even accessing through tor and trying to maintain good opsec would be phenomenonly risky given all the ways you could leak info or correlation attacks/tone analysis deanon.

Under that threat model defedding one instance is like bording up a window to protect you from a tank outside while your walls are made of glass.

It is already public. Every server on the network has it. I only have to go to kbin and browse this thread to see how you've voted, or spin up an instance and federate.

Please read about how activity pub works if you are so concerned.

This comment is nuts.

1. This is lemmy, nobody is going to break your legs for voting wrong.
2. Are there even any states that are democracies? so called "representative democracies" where you get to vote a couple of times a decade in a farcial choice aren't very democratic. Most actual democracy is public and consensus based, historically this was true also. Even inside those modern farces parliment votes publicly.
3. Secret ballot evolved for reasons that don't apply to socialising
4. lemmy is a social thing, it's not the revolution, nothing here is important or significant.
5. Your votes are already public, that's how activitypub works so all this is moot anyway.

Humanoid robot wars are so silly. Afaict they're mostly propaganda. The allure is slick sure, would be neat to not have to retrofit spaces for robots. Unfortunately it's much more cost effective to make spaces for robots than jam robots into human bodies. In how many applications can a humanoid robot compete with a robot arm and a self driving trolley?

The only spaces we can't really customise to robots are houses, and these things will never be affordable. We'd be better off designing bathrooms that clean themselves (or that are just easier to clean) than robots that clean bathrooms.

I didn't say there are never any issues I said it's fine. The idea that "success stories" are only amd is silly. 90/100 times unless you're using bleeding edge hardware or pathologically fussy you just hit play and stuff works. 9 out of the remaining 10 times you tweak a proton version or wine setting, the other time it's a driver bug.

What? I have a 2060 and shit runs fine. Nvidia's drivers have improved a lot since the 2010s.

Unfortunately displaying the fact that they're transparent was closed as an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4967

If you look through the thread it's the same as here. Divided between "public is public" and "public should only be public to a technocratic elite" and "I am an ostrich"

🙃

I can't understand your first paragraph.

You know your entire comment history is also public right? Voting isn't an agree disagree button, and even if it was. All non Nazi socmed is public, all endorsement in life except nonsense bougie spectacle is public.

Society doesn't fall apart because people can see you nodding along and hear you going "Good point" when talking to people.

It's all moot anyway, activitypub is public, everything you do is public and must be thought of as archived indefinitely. The only remotely "private" thing is PM and that's visible to any admin and any snooping infrastructure on the way.

So uhhh yeah, stick your head in the sand if you want but your votes are public to half the threadiverse lmao.

They are public, and that doesn't stop anyone being insane. More transparently public might be good though.

Personally I think transparency is almost always good. Nobody is stopping you making an account for being a creep and a loser on, but that might earn you derision. I can see no compelling reason for hiding votes, there's this abstract "oh I can support true but unpopular positions" ok well for good causes secret support is pretty much worthless and if I might become a goose with a knife for a moment: What are these secret opinions of yours? Because as someone who occasionally looks at voting patterns it is always the conservative takes lmao.

Everything you do on lemmy is public forever. That's how activitypub works. Even if you delete everything no server has to respect that.

Anything you upload is public record forever until proven otherwise.
