I think you nailed it. For me personally, if I move to PieFed, it's not because I want to "hurt" the devs, it's because I really don't want to be part of what they stand for.

The title of the article is referring to "chemtrails" as false. (You are blocked now too. So no point in responding.)

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The point was not about if it was happening or not. It's about how these examples are used as fodder to keep the conspiracies flowing about chemtrails.

If you mix just the right amount of conspiracy with a little bit of fact, you get to keep all the votes from the crazies. It's super easy to use big words like "geoengineering" and twist them to imply that hormones are mixed with jet fuel.

I read it as bees.

Please do not the bees.

I was considering, for a quick second, to move off of Lemmy for reasons. (It would be an ideological move and not worth a conversation, TBH.)

It's about where a person wants their account hosted, s'all. Also, I am not sure what degree of separation there is between Lemmy and PieFed. Like you said, we can see PieFed content but I don't know how much.

 

I have no plans to move from Lemmy any time soon, but I am curious if PieFed integration was being considered.

It would probably make more sense to fork Connect but a "multi-client" would be neat.

"Fesi testified on the Senate floor April 28 during debate over his bill that he believes “certain agencies within the federal government are doing cloud seeding and geoengineering.” In an interview Friday, the senator was asked what evidence he had to support his claims.

“Look up in our sky,” Fesi answered.

In an interview, Fesi later said he sees “just tons and tons of cloud seeding” above his backyard and described it as “all of the stripes across the skies.”

These bills are fueled by conspiracy theories and idiocy.

Lol, no. Most of maga can't even spell Europe, so all of those things you list, while true, are way beyond their comprehension.

The politicians just point at European countries and say they stupid because they talk funny and they are stealing from you. (It doesn't matter if that is true or not, it's just "someone else to blame" for made up problems.)

Alumina (aluminum oxide) is what you are extracting from aluminum ore and it's tough as fuck, which is why it's easier to dissolve the rest of the stuff around it first.

Oxygen is mainly that other "junk" you have to separate with electricity. While the smelters only run at 4.5 volts (per cell), they have to push about 300kA to get the stuff up to ~950°C which breaks its chemical bond.

You probably have never even touched pure aluminum before. Aluminum and oxygen react so quick, all we typically ever see and touch is a alumina shell.

I am not sure if I would trust a company that claims a glorified fanny pack will protect your health from EMF radiation.

Like others have said, take a break from the internet for a while. (After this particular post slows down and you digest what people here have to say, of course.)

On Lemmy, my habit is usually to block every controversial community that I can. If I see trolls that hang out in specific communities, I'll usually block them before they get a chance to interact with me. My feed here is fairly clean, but it took a while to filter out the dozens of political communities. (Political communities are breeding grounds for controversy, so stay away from the comments if you can.)

If you game, stay away from any toxic gaming communities or disable all chat if you can.

You may feel like you are missing out on things the more you sanitize your interactions online. Don't worry, you aren't.

Its harder to filter for people who may randomly attack you online. Self-control is paramount: The second you read a word of something negative, stop reading that comment and block that person if possible.

Still though, blocking and filtering only goes so far. The internets can be a hostile place whatever forum you are on. When you are able, it just takes a ton of patience and practice to properly ignore what you read online.

There seems to be a correlation between how long a feed hasn't been interacted with and this behavior. (Scroll up and down a feed; Wait a random amount of time; pre-fetching seems to halt.)

There are times when pre-fetching the feed can be slow and briefly pause while loading. Sometimes, this is when the feed will lock up.)

 

... this happens more often on cursed memes. /s

I can still slide to open the menu, but cannot take action on the feed. (The + button opens in the fore-foreground, so it works as well as 'back to exit' Connect.)

I was playing with the thumbnail preview in fairly rapid succession when one just "stuck".

 
 

Seemingly random. Error may only happen on the first post a new thread. Could be a server-side issue, but not sure.

 

Menu -> Refresh does not cause this issue.

 

I just realized that I have never used an oscilloscope on anything over 50V DC. (There has never been a need, actually.)

The goal is to trace how noise generated by my PC GPU is propagating through the power circuit. As I don't want to start tossing in power filters at random spots, it would be nice to actually understand what is going on first.

TBH, measuring mains AC doesn't seem any different than any other measurement I would take, other than using a 1:100 scope probe. Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of that would put my scope at risk?

 
 

OMG. This recipe is one of the best I have tried.

 

Our dev does good things. Please help keep the world economy intact by buying him a coffee.

Connect -> Settings -> Scroll to bottom -> Support your dev link.

Nelson demands it.

Edit: A few coffees later and the DOW is up 2k. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Originally, I just wanted to request tagging specific instances as NSFW. This would be helpful for posters on specific instances that do not always tag posts as NSFW but still should get caught by our NSFW preferences.

NSFW isn't always porn so the NSFW filter catches a bit much, sometimes. Excluding specific communities from the NSFW filter is an option, but that gave me yet another idea.

Expanding on this idea, it would be cool to start categorizing communities with tags, like "sports" or "news", "world news" or something arbitrary like "neat".

This would allow filtering by what kinds of content I want to view at any given time, in theory. Hell, we could even start building a master list to share for community categories in GitHub or something like that.
