How can I pass all my internet usage through California?

memes: easy as F to produce propaganda for the rich of any country to use on the poor of any other country

Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?

Good. I'm surprised that all governments havn't banned this chinese spyware.

1.) its usually a single persons job to do "social media outreach", not most of the employees

2.) People shouldn't be using their personal devices to do government work, period.

3.) slippery slope? why would someone use queer dating apps on their GOVERNMENT device? this is a stupid argument

4.) This is about GOVERNMENT, not private business. You are conflating the two.

So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that "micro plastics" include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere

naw man, fuck that the only thing water boarding (and torture in general) does is get people to say whatever they can to make it stop. I just realized.... with that as a tool, you could get any name you want out of anyone you're torturing :(

Give a man AI and he'll make a meme

teach a man AI and he'll make money making memes

Holy shit thank you! THANK YOU!

I didn't know this was an option!

THANK YOU!!!!

Sir, I am from reddit - It's bold of you to assume i read the article

I haven't seen the film or heard much about it, only seen a preview before gaurdians but

How is this film QAnon-adjacent?

(and how is it that anti-pedophilia is now only a right wing thing when the church has been fucking children for decades? dont let em have it....)

oh its 5 planes? I thought this was some kind of laser that somehow activated the sky's icecrystals like .... sigh .... "chem"trails. (they are not 'chem' trails, they are atmospheric disturbances caused by planes)

couldn't drones do this?

Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

I understand the need for nuclear. We HAVE to stop using carbon emitting forms of energy.

But I have never supported nuclear in the United States. Time and time and time again, history shows that corporations will water down the regulations around an industry. To the point of collapse. The problem is, when nuclear goes bad, its REALLY bad.

We can't even get our fucking TRAINS to their destination without greed derailing them.

how many fucking oil spills have we had because of lax safety? remember the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? that was due to lax safety regulations, all in the name of profit.

Please, tell me:

Why in the flying fuck should I trust the regulations around nuclear energy to hold?

Whatever you say, I'm not going to believe you. Not until the fucking lawyers of the corporations stop writing the laws for the congressmen to sign without reading or understanding.

What the FUCK is going to stop 'big nuclear' from re-writing regulations?

I want the regulations around nuclear to be so tight, no capitalist will want to operate under it. I want several rubber bands and a vice around the balls of whoever is running it.

I even think maybe corporations can't be trusted with it, and all nuclear energy should fall exclusively under the management of the DoD.

Im not there yet. Help me get addicted to Lemmy, please.

So, this would cover screens as well? (that is what apple does (at least in the u.s.) to their laptop screens.)

i knew accounts were being automatically created and thats why i don't believe the numbers

So, that would actually be: Mogh, son of Worf

But, I am looking forward to changing my political views and recontextualizing my reality from a stirring post by CumFartCocktail :(

Reddit went from the 5th most visited website in the world to the 20th. That's not nothing.

Lemme put on my tin foil hat for a second and say that this degrading of reddit was just in time for it to go public. It could only go up from here.

I can't predict the future, but I think this whole federating thing is good. The internet and its traffic was too localized. The people don't want to keep being sold.

Now if we could somehow get everyone that uses a site like this to actually PAY - say - $1 a YEAR, the internet would be better for it.

and try to leave it better than you found it

i had an idea for a skit where, we exit the simulation and can "meet god", our simulation runners - and when I hear all about who they are and what they do, I'd ask them: "So, who created you?" and they'd all laugh and say "we don't know"

to quote XKCD, a rock is an analog computer that generates a rock

The golden ratio is a transcendental number, but it is the "least transcendental" of the transcendental numbers.

Economics is not math, its a religion.

reddits on Lemmy

Its going to be hard changing our vernacular

and no. If you know of any, lemme know

I ❤️ this so much. Thank you 😁

Oh yeah I saw it. Weird movie. 94143243431512659321054872390486828512913474876027671959234602385829583047250165232525929692572765 53643634627271840120126431475463294501278472648410756223478962672859285829534750277226264645621761 3984829519475412398501 😁

I used to run a subreddit /r/EustachianTubeClick

This usually happens because there is built up pressure in your eustachian tubes. Me and people in that sub are able to open theirs on command. Its a super power.

I tried re-creating it here on lemmy the other day but the Create New Community button circle just kept spinning :(

Yes, by running your own Lemmy server :P

Unfortunately, there is no way to distribute the work in that way. the @Home projects worked because it could give your computer a hard problem to work on with little traffic to and from the server.

no, unfortunately, the best way for all of us to contribute in those smallest of ways is to run an instance at home. That way, whatever amount of "thinking" (CPU) thats done by Lemmy server would normally have to do, you can do. Its not a lot of processing (CPU) though (compared to @Home), but its a lot of traffic

Eh, no. Mathematics is an hallucination of ours we are trying to desperately map onto reality. I say this as a mathematician. When you look out into our reality, you know what we see? A curved universe. There is nothing in our reality that is truely STRAIGHT.

YET, we creatures came up with such an unnatural thing as a straight line. Straight lines are a uniquely human hallucination. Its the logic we use to make sense of the world, but its a Rorschach test of our own making. You are attaching meaning to it because thats what our brains do. generate meaning out of chaos.

I need to look no further than pi, which is a number that represents our feeble attempts to push the round universe into our square heads. Its trying to represent the curved universe as a straight line (and visavers) - and reality said : LOL, NOPE!! YOU get a number that is more illusive than the irrationals. A never ending non patterned number.

All of nature is not based on mathematics. Mathematics is the language we use to describe nature. Thats like saying the Grand Canyon is BASED on book describing the Grand Canyon.

1.) No its not. Its our language, not nature's.

2.) To a degree, yes. But thats because our brains are pattern seeking and pattern generating machines - not because nature follows a system WE made up.

3.) Did I mention Pi yet

THIS is a graph of a discovery that I made in number theory. Does it look like it has a pattern to you? I think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, because IT MAKES NO SENSE. which means, we still have a lot to discover and learn

To quote the first words of the old Dune movie:

"A beginning is a very delicate time."

What we should all take responsibility for is the health and quality of the community. We should be more active citizens, instead of the passive "consumers" we've all been corporately groomed to be.

I think more instances are the answer because this activity can't be cheap. maybe Lemmy.world splits off into 2 or 4 instances. Lemmy1.world etc

This dynamic will have to stabilize in costs. I don't know what that looks like.

Eh, more like, get your own car. Its slow because we are all used to going to just ONE site. We need to share the load and create our own servers.... or pay lemmy.world for more bandwidth - which I don't think they want to do.

still don't know fed-eee-er? fed-EYE-er?

how does one pronounce fedier?

Has the ability to create communities also been limited? I've been trying and the circle keeps spinning.

squabbles is non federated.... i just signed up with raddle

I mean, what other reddit clones are there?
