Good work!

Going organic and plant-based would be such a massive improvement.

People have been saying this for at least 40 years.

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

I think this is a good article and I agree with it.

A big part of how I got turned on to open source was emotional and still is tbh. I felt like I was being taken for a fool by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook and was angry.

The big money and power is in information technology now and it’s the new instrument of imperialism, which is why ‘enshittification’ has happened. The great news though is that information is so easily shareable and reproducible, so the more of it we make free the harder it is for them to keep fucking us over with it.

I don’t know when the next big civilizational ‘reshuffle’ will happen (probably on it’s way now), but the more that we make common and free the less leverage the greedheads will have over us when it’s time to work out a new settlement.

Maybe. They clearly want to in Denmark and Germany though. And France does good work too.

Not many of us are old enough to have seen things really change but they can.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

It would be funny if Trump’s biggest legacy was the mass adoption of open source.

The EU could get a ridiculous amount done if it decided to seriously invest in it.

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

It certainly is!

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

This is the most upvotes I think I have ever seen on a comment here.

This must be utterly terrifying for them.

Competitive advantage over their deer peers.

Star Labs Starbook 7, Coreboot.

It looks like you’re right - just checked and it only seems to happen when Power Saver is selected in GNOME. Do you know if anything can be done to prevent dimming in this mode?

I know this isn’t directly answering your question and that lots of people will disagree with me on this but unfortunately I think the best option at the moment is to just not let kids go online. The supposed social and educational benefits and the relief from peer pressure/FOMO just don’t justify the damage to their future mental health and understanding of identity.

I’m not personally confronted by this yet because mine are still too young, so take my view for what it is.

I’m a millennial and remember a few kids when I was growing up who didn’t have a TV because their parents weren’t comfortable with the brainrot, even back then. That was thirty years ago and those kids are now successful and confident people, living full lives. And nobody even really noticed at the time that they were the odd ones out because they didn’t watch TV. They are more ‘functional’ than the rest of us.

Things are way more intense now. The people who work for social media companies won’t let their kids on it, which I think says it all.

It’s a shame that the internet as a whole has become what it is because it has/had a lot of positive potential. But even the more ethical and neutral parts of it get infected by the pathological culture and addictive format that has emerged from it. Just look at the judgement and antagonism that you often see here on Lemmy for example. Not to mention the loneliness.

Personally, right now, I would look for a solution that isn’t a smartphone but that’s just me.

Imaginative naming, scientists 👍

The fact that this is published in the BMJ suggests to me that this is, in fact, an advertisement.

I can’t imagine any messenger is private if you invite random people into a group chat 🤦‍♂️
