    I’ve noticed that too. Is it related to covid you think? As in it was like this before and now we’re returning to normal progression as people rebuild social connections and lose time. Or is it that the whole dev economy is changing with layoffs and such that devs are leaving the industry altogether? Or something else even?

    I really appreciate this reply, and the effort you’ve taken citing here. I was in disbelief of the fact that chickens can be grown to slaughter that fast.

    That would account for about 6 weeks of price increase. Chickens don’t live that long.

    Dude what?

    A chicken may live for 5–10 years, depending on the breed.[24]

  • What privacy approaches would you consider appropriate for everyday people?
  • Preflight_Tomato Preflight_Tomato Now 100%

    More security than privacy, but does provide some:

    Freeze your credit report sharing with all major consumer reporting agencies when not applying for new credit. Without reports, lenders won’t grant new lines of credit in your name. It’s free and timely, as required by US law.

    Credit monitoring companies just run credit checks, which they can’t do with your credit frozen. Check your credit every 3-4 months yourself at annualcreditreport.com (proof of legitimacy).

    Don’t stay informed of breaches, prevent them.

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready
  • Preflight_Tomato Preflight_Tomato Now 100%

    They paused funding for all of the exciting P2P and low bandwidth stuff last year. Hopefully it resumes soon, as mentioned in the GitHub thread.

    https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2023/#In-other-news

    Meanwhile, P2P Matrix and Low Bandwidth Matrix is on hiatus until there’s dedicated funding - and Account Portability work is also temporarily paused in favour of commercial Element work, despite the fantastic progress made recently with Pseudo IDs (MSC4014) and Cryptographic identifiers (MSC4080). Given P2P Matrix and Account Portability were the main projects driving Dendrite development recently, this may also cause a slow-down in Dendrite development, although Dendrite itself will still be maintained.

    I’m still sad they stopped work on dendrite. P2P level decentralization, with E2EE, would be amazing.

    These are still great improvements though. I'm hyped that loading seems to be so much faster.

  • Millions have amnesia about the worst of Trump's presidency. Memory experts explain why.
  • Preflight_Tomato Preflight_Tomato Now 100%

    Yeah, everything I’ve been hearing in the last couple of years has talked about how traditional fact checking methods do not sway beliefs. The few things I’ve heard work are innoculation and ridicule.

    Inoculation (telling someone about conspiracies before they’re encountered) seems like it could be used in favor of whatever ideology, not just the truth.

    And ridicule (couch sex memes and “weird”), seems to work because it specifically targets the “follow the strong man” approach that many fools take to belief building. Like that can’t be applicable generally, can it?

    I am yet to learn of a solid framework + practical methods which work to guide people toward belief based in reality.

    Perhaps it’s multi-faceted. First make them feel like part of a community, which grounds them in experience and removes the most insane conspiracies/fear, then they’ll be grounded enough to accept some media & scientific literacy education?

    I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn't understand it.

    Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

    Many kinds yes, idk enough to say all. Docs take a sample of the cancer DNA, turn that into an mRNA vaccine, inject it into you, and your immune system precisely destroys the cancer.

    It seems interesting for many cancers, and lifesaving for already metastasized cancers.

    Only downside will be lifelong wage garnishment to The Company.

    Always get the version of the gadget with replaceable batteries unless you want a brick in 3-10 years. Additionally, prefer 18650, AA, AAA batteries, and keep some rechargeable ones around.

  • I'd like to store/seed important data (wikipedia, gutenberg, etc.), and read recently that it would be a good idea to store torrent files long-term. My questions are: 1. Is it better to store torrent files or magnet links? 2. Will a given magnet link retrieve the exact same .torrent file *every* initiation? 3. Is storage of these files/links a good idea (especially if I have the files)? This question is really about whether magnet links or torrent files are better to store long term, with a sanity check that this is something that should be done. I've read these two StackExchange posts which were very helpful, and am looking to get more technical opinions and info: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3844502 - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10999786/

    Hey folks! I've been using [MarkText](https://github.com/marktext/marktext) for years, but it seems dead now. It still works fine, but I've been on-and-off looking for something that gets dependency updates and is less resource heavy (electron). I look for the following in order of importance: - FLOSS license - [WYSIWYG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG) editing, not side-by-side - limited scope (edit docs, not trying to be 'A System for Managing Ideas') - low resource usage - LaTeX support is a plus Do you know if MarkText has a trustworthy fork that is maintained? Do you know if something with similar user experience exists that uses a more lightweight code base?
