NoneYa , to asklemmy in Do flat earthers think other planets are flat? All of them or some of them? Are stars (including and excluding the sun) flat too?

I’ve heard some say that they think the moon is a real, spherical body in the sky. While others disagree and think it’s either a simulation or something else entirely.

The problem with them is that they all have a different idea that goes with their view of this conspiracy theory so they all believe something different than the next. The grouping of them is so small that they never got a chance to really develop a singular idea beyond agreeing among themselves that the world is flat.

Etterra ,

My favorites are The ones who think that the Earth is kind has kind of a rim around the edge and the moon rolls across that like a ball lol

But I’ve seen plenty of them that are perfectly fine believing that all of the other planets are spheres.

It doesn’t really matter, I always just tell them to lower a GoPro over the edge and let us know what they find down there. I mean if there’s an edge there’s got to be something under it right? Well they better get going, that award-winning documentary isn’t going to make itself.

That’s fascinating. Why do they think Earth is Not Like The Other Planets?

Seasm0ke , to asklemmy in How to deal with being bald?

Man I have fun with hats but I feel you. Sometimes I’m like bro if I wore my glasses I’d look like the fkn soyjack. But you know what, I couldnt wear hats when I was serving at a bar. I still got a lot of attention. I met my now wife at a sales job where I couldnt wear hats. I bic it down to nothing and people want to rub it cause its shiny and smooth.

I miss my hair, it was shoulder length in highschool. I dyed it often, I styled it like flock of seagulls or edrward scissor hands for fun, I wore a Mohawk for a while. It was great while it lasted and its okay to mourn it, Even if it was only superficial. Its natural to feel like your self image was rocked. You’re still you and you’re still valid.

People may tease you and you gotta roll with it. When a kid says your bald ask him if he knows where your forehead ends. Whatever the answer correct them and say no its the back of my neck or whatever. It takes me a long time to get ready for bed because I dont know where to stop washing my face. Well if its good enough for that eagle its good enough for me. If you cant find peace you can sure find a hair piece… or save to go get expensive surgical solutions.

Hope you feel better though dude

I’d rather wait for at least a 1080 webrip than to suffer through the cruddy audio and visuals of a cam. Heck, I don’t even like going to the theatre, why would I pretend to do that in 480p with early 2000’s cellphone audio?

Didnt know there were so new mobos with coreboot support! Really great!

B0g3nNutz3r OP ,

There are more, but sadly the selection is still very limited. Another issue is that you have to buy dasharo, since there is no coreboot support from a free distro like libreboot, yet.

Oh it is dasharo too! Dasharo is free, but you buy support and binaries.

I am on an 11th Gen Clevo NV41, having a strange firmware bug but hardware flashing should solve this.

Congrats on making the leap!

Just out of curiosity, are you willing to share some/all of the things you’re still having to resort to dual-booting with Debian for?

sharpiewater OP ,

not dual booting, they are running on completely different computers. But my main problem is a program called Hamachi not working correctly. I use it for “lan”-gaming with friends on games with dead servers.

admin ,

Hamachi could be replaced with your own WireGuard VPN server, just your friends would have to set up their clients.

auroz ,

Tailscale could also work, if they’re looking for something with a little less setup difficulty. I haven’t used it myself as I’m happy to tinker with WireGuard, but it’s supposed to be quite easy to get going and I think the free tier isn’t too restrictive.

solrize , to news in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

A timely article about why this type of “rating” is a really bad idea:

The most chilling words today: I’m from NewsGuard and I am here to rate you by Jonathan Turley.

awesome_lowlander , (edited )

The guy is a Trump / Musk supporter, he’s half the problem as it is.

While I have criticized Trump in the past, I have also objected to some of the efforts to impeach or convict him on dubious legal theories.

Yeah, those 34 duuuuubious felony convictions!

solrize ,

Turley has written a lot about the NY trial and his analysis looked ok to me. IANAL of course. But, those convictions didn’t seem to change Trump’s polling noticeably. We will see what happens with Harris.

HelixDab2 , to world in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

While I love the idea, I KNOW that there are certain groups that will refuse to accept that factual information. Tankies, for instance, will refuse to accept any criticism of their preferred sources. (As will Russian-asset Jimmy Dore.) Far-right conservatives will do the same, only on the other end of the spectrum.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

MBFC is not factual.

It’s subjective. The opinion of one random man on the internet and his supposed volunteers.

I’ve seen it rate Indian papers low and add comments like “Never once reported anything false.” Meanwhile some US garbage will be ranked as reliable and the comments are an essay on all the times they’ve been busted lying.

Carrolade ,

Got an example of a US source being rated reliable despite failed fact checks? I’d be interested in seeing that.

catloaf ,

Someone up-thread posted an MSN story about Hamas killing babies, and MSN’s high rating. As we now know, that story was an Israeli fabrication.

Carrolade ,

That won’t quite qualify.

Dozens of babies were brutally murdered — some even decapitated — by Hamas terrorists inside a kibbutz in southern Israel during Saturday’s shocking assault on Israeli civilians, according to journalists who were let in to see the aftermath of the massacre and corroborated by the Israeli Defense Forces

The key is that according to journalists part. If the sources lied to the outlet, then the sources lied. This is not the fault of the outlet, and does not mean they shouldn’t have reported it. That said, that probably does deserve a retraction.

To fail a fact check, you have to publish something known at the time to be misleading. Otherwise it’s a mistake, and should just be corrected when more accurate information arises.

I am disappointed that the article has not been corrected by now, however.

Deceptichum , (edited )
@Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

They failed an Al Jazeera fact check because they published an article using data from the South African government that was later updated long after the article.

So yeah, it qualifies to this trash tier site.

Carrolade ,

The only fact check failure I can see with that SA article seems to be them citing their source as a UN report, when no UN source ever made any such report.

africacheck.org/…/no-murder-rate-women-south-afri…

Otherwise you are right, and this would not qualify. You cannot cite the UN when the UN is not where you are getting your data though, that is blatant misrepresentation.

Diplomjodler3 , (edited ) to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

I have a Linux PC with Jellyfin hooked up to the TV but i find it awkward to use with a keyboard and trackpad while lying on the couch. It would be great to have a remote like the Chromecast one but I’m not sure if anything like that is available that would work with JF.

vividspecter ,

I was going to say you could use a smartphone with the Jellyfin app to control it, but it looks to be limited (just the actual launching of videos not play/pause etc).

lemmyvore , (edited )

The BubbleUPnP app can cast to Chromecast (and DLNA) and has built-in support for Jellyfin as a media source (you can browse your Jellyfin content from the Bubble app). It’s basically the “remote” you want.

Bubble can also act as a media player so if you launch a video file from a file manager and tell it to play on Bubble while it’s connected to a Chromecast, it will cast it.

Bubble can also directly access local files on the phone, Samba shares, and various types of cloud storage accounts.

Its only shortcoming is no SSH support but there’s a workaround for that: the Solid Explorer file manager has a built-in relay that will pipe a video file over SSH to a local video player… pick Bubble as that player and you can play to Chromecast from SSH.

Get your own domain, find a free DNS service that provides an API, and it becomes a simple matter of updating a DNS A record whenever your IP changes.

Don’t use a DynamicDNS service, they’re usually crap and they make you depend on a domain you don’t own.
