the Ring is treacherous and may just dissapear by itself.
how so? is it the weird sentence structure?
Yes, they haven't updated for a while, so its gonna take a while longer.
Western or eastern are just labels of affiliation, such as in team sports. But in the world of security Teams are irrelevant. Something is either good enough or it isn't. And that measurement is liable to change over time as you gain knowledge and the proverbial landscape changes.
In tech it is best to not trust anyone, zero trust as it is. But that seems imposible so we all make our own compromises. my recommendation would be
a) try to change something in your own (government) structures
b) lay low when using anything where you have to trust someone, be that any google, facebook, microsoft etc. service, yandex, duckduckgo, telegram, threema, any e-mail service (even proton mail, tutanota...), most cheap and easy VPN services, malware services, AI-Services...
c) look for connections in spaces where trust is mininal, such as open-source-software, self-hosted-services, I2P and Tor, torrenting.
lemmy is a special case, where anyone can launch a server and communicate with other servers on a completely tdifferent level as in other places, as such it allows for higher security standarts and will less quickly fall to big-moneyd interests and singular government overview and control.
Reminder to support Archive.org. They have thousands of TerraBytes of Data in all forms, for free, and only a shoestring budget.
Reminder to scream at the admins of Archive.org to get their security set straight, if you have a connection to them.
China?
ahh, okay, maybe actually makes sense, but one needs much more context and knowledge to understand than I have of australian(?) politics.
looking further into the website there was this cartoon, which confuses me:
The Graph go down, its labeled as being a projection of future deficits. which means the losses will be lower. Avoidance of a loss is equatable with gaining of a win. but the guys are drawn as stupid and are obviously for nuclear power, which statistically speaking isn't quite profitable.
So are they just stupid for wanting to make profits off of nuclear power and investing into the economy? Or did someone make such a basic mistake that it is questionable whether they should be trusted in their judgement of other issues?
That was a very funny refference when they set it up back when.
yes the tomato-shaped egg timers existed first. but the pomodoro technique is quite helpful.
On Bullshit (In Science and Politics)
We find Bullshit wherever there are humans. It lies in our nature to not always tell the truth, that's what we call lying. Somethymes however we care little about the truth, then we bullshit. On where specifically we find it: in close relationships, friendship, politics, science, company meetings...
I am focusing on politics and science here, since they are close to my interests and closely linked. Though some may also be applicable to other fields. I source myself on a project sponsored indirectly by the government of Germany, through the ZDF produced by a group called Maithink X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc2ZvhBwu90 and https://populismus.online/ are some sources in German, I didn't find good sources in English, despite them existing, no doubt.
Some of the countless methods used for Bullshitting: Ad-Hominem, False Dilemma, Whataboutism, Motte & Bailey, Silent Majority, Strawman.
Ad-Hominem (on Human)
- instead of arguing on a objective, factual basis the bullshiter focuses
Geoengineering
Geoengineering is an exceedingly controversial scientific field.
Here a quick video on it by Sabine Hossenfelder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-2FUXShYQQ
We are already doing it (mostly by accident):
- Since the dawn of civilization we have influenced the Landscapes of the earth, which in turn influences the atmosphere sitting atop it.
- In most of Southeast-Asia countless rice-fields get burned every year after the harvest. This creates dust- and ash-clouds for weeks on end over the entire region. These impact the health of the locals, the environment and so much more. But the burning of the rice fields has several immediate benefits as well as some science may not have studied fully yet. For example the rice husks, if unburnt will fly around everywhere and become litter and even hazards, as they are slippery. I am also conjecturing that it helps in fertilizing the fields for the next growing season and helps killing off potential harmful lifeforms, such as fungi. These
Community Creation -> Art Contest(?)!
Due to this being my first Lemmy-community I have done some work generating several pictures beforehand, from which I've picked one each for Logo and Banner. However my artistic view never was great in any way, so I'll let people vote upon my creations and perchance someone makes something better.
All the Pictures were generated with hotpot.ai and the Banners were upscaled with imgupscaler.com
(Since I can't quite figure out how to put multiple images into the post, I'll put them in the comments)
I have Uninstalled R from my Ubuntu laptop and then i got signed out from ALL of my apps.

Is this a wholly unnecessary amount of blackspace around my mediocre meme?
yes.
am I complaining?
yes.
is the complaint necessary?
yEs!
i'd really like to. but there is ONE big problem:
Keyboard layouts.
seriously
I hate having to deal with that. when I set up my laptop with ubuntu, I tried at least 3 thymes to make it work, but no matter what I tried I was just locked out of my brand-new system. it cant just be y and z being flipped, I tried that, maybe it was the french keyboard layout (which is absolutely fucked) or something else, but it just wouldnt work.
On my mint PC I have a similar problem with the default layout having weird extra keys and I just sort of work around that, because fuck dealing with terminals again. (when logged in it works, because I can manually change it to the right one.)
Now I do have about a TerraByte of storage encrypted, just for the... more sensitive stuff...
While dealing with the problems I stumbled across a story of a user who had to recover their data using muscle-memory, a broken keyboard, the same model of keyboard and probably a lot of patience. good luck to that guy.
oh that could be. maybe the mobile version of terraria couldnt easily do that. why would anyone play the mobile version of terraria?
looks like switzerland! until you look closer, then its just wrong (the train tracks for example)
you can easily transfer saves in terraria.
Depending on your tech-savyness you can transfer saves in nearly all games.
I have found this short video increadibly unpleasing. I do not wish to look at it for a single second more. But from what I remember, not a single one of these things happened to me like described.
I have downloaded loadsa images, but only to a level, where I'll eventually be able to "take care" of them. I have listened to some music quite a lot, but I have not burned through it in a single day.
Mabye the creator of the video was using a bit of the good old overdramatization? Then again anything is possible.
One catches more idiots with platitudes /s
