‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice (www.theguardian.com)

Scientists have warned that a court decision to block the growing of the genetically modified (GM) crop Golden Rice in the Philippines could have catastrophic consequences. Tens of thousands of children could die in the wake of the ruling, they argue....

Temperche ,

Theres another possibility. That gene flow leads to making all other rice varieties inedible similar to what happens to “self-harvested/cross-pollinated” pumpkin/cucumber/zucchini seeds. Genes dont 100% copy over due to the process of recombination, which can cause quite unexpected outcomes. The GMO scientists never tested these quasi-infinite possibilities yet.

cross-pollination experiments with other rice varieties.

Thunder because it’s sleek.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

PopOS handles nvidia drivers perfectly.

Temperche ,

PopOS has a good nvidia card support, try it out! It made me dump windows last October.

Temperche ,

That was the status quo when I tried Linux ~5 years ago. Nowadays, Linux is much more plug and play (and I’m specifically referring to Pop OS).

Temperche ,

From what I read, Mint is better for lower-end PC specs, but otherwise, I’d strongly recommend PopOS.

YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking (alternativeto.net)

The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be...

Peertube might be a fediverse-friendly place to archive such content.

Does Reddit shadowban mentions of Lemmy?

In the months since I deleted my Reddit accounts and joined Lemmy, the lack of user base growth has made it clear that we need some users to stay on Reddit as a means of shepherding more users over on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, Reddit simply got what it wanted: less users who make a fuss about how it manages its platform...

Temperche ,

Why not use pixelfed to upload and then to link it here?

Temperche ,

Install PopOS, comes with nvidia drivers, and no extra hassle. Boots your GTX right up like a baby.

Temperche ,

Maybe look into Genesis games - there’s a lot of hidden gems and adult games since SNES usually gets all the attention.

What is alien.top and why do all the users from there show up as bots and have no history?

I’ve been seeing a lot of users from alien.top commenting in various threads (mainly sports) lately. They only caught my attention because they are all flagged as bots and I typically manually block most bots (not all because there are some I like). For every one of them their entire post history consists of 1-2 comments or...

Temperche ,

I personally requested it because this particular bot also mirrors comments, not just posts. And the two super niche communities it posts in are completely dead on lemmy, so im trying to revive them by having at least some updates, also so people dont have to go back to reddit just to get that niche content.

Temperche ,

The admin banned the whole communities! I first have to find an instance that would be okay with your software. Do you have any suggestions as to how to find one? Also, in case you didnt see, real lemmy users engaged in discussions based on the reddit comments many times already, making your idea a success!

Temperche ,

How about something along metacritic, as this would include not only movies but gaming too? metacritic.top or metacriticz.top …

Temperche ,

Sounds good.

Temperche ,

feddit.de/post/4691002 - done.

Also, could you make a gakinotsukai one as well?

Lastly, would it be possible for the bot not to copy posts where the OP has removed the content of the thread? There’s a lot of posts like that.

Temperche ,

feddit.de/post/4700011 and feddit.de/post/4689465 would be examples.

Good luck finishing to set up the instances.

I also did a gaki post: feddit.de/post/4701709

Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository (www.techdirt.com)

As a Walled Culture explained back in 2021, open access (OA) to published academic research comes in two main varieties. “Gold” open access papers are freely available to the public because the researchers’ institutions pay “article-processing charges” to a publisher. “Green” OA papers are available because the...

Temperche ,

Diamond open access all the way - say hi to Peer Comnuniy in… and the PCI Journal.

Temperche ,

Subreddits id like to have mirrored with discussions so i dont have to visit reddit anymore.

/gakinotsukai /90dayfiance /pathofexile /linux /fcbayern /diablo /diablo2 /diablo2resurrected /diablo4 /hextcg

Temperche ,

@feddit.de if possible :) There is also @pathofexile for poe

Temperche ,

can you post links to all communities you create when you finish please :)

Temperche ,

Oh and please also add /r/manga

Temperche ,

@feddit.de if possible :) There is also @pathofexile for poe

Temperche ,

Which communities specifically? poe-discuss is dead, nobody answers anything anymore. feddit.de is not a community. The reddit communities block lemmy mentions.

Temperche ,

i’ve now asked the feddit.de admin directly to comment here.

Temperche ,

Unfortunately the feddit.de admin is not on board. Would be happy if you could find a suitable instance at least for 90dayfiance and gakinotsukai which are dead communities on lemmy, the gaming ones can be skipped as not niche enough. I love what you did with the fcbayern one! Thank you so much!

Temperche ,

!90dayfiance and !gakinotsukai

Temperche ,

Thanks! Fully automated is fine. After all, Im the admin of these communities ;)

Temperche ,

done now. Thanks for setting it up!

Temperche ,

The bot seems to have stopped working after a great start, do you know why?

How do people find good information on the internet these days?

It used to be that you would do a search on a relevant subject and get blog posts, forums posts, and maybe a couple of relevant companies offering the product or service. (And if you wanted more information on said company you could give them a call and actually talk to a real person about said service) You could even trust...

Temperche ,

Use your critical thinking while reading to differentiate between scientifically sound claims and nonscientific marketing paroles.

Temperche ,

Just enter lemmy.ml/post/2920188 in die search function top right and you’ll get shown feddit.de/post/2248439

Temperche ,

Consider becoming a patron of the lemmy developer, this will benefit all instances:

www.patreon.com/dessalines

Temperche ,

Also, this graph does not take into account kbin which is essentially the same kind of software as lemmy but tracked seperately. Better data can be found here: fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse

Also, instance hopping and users registering on multiple instances before picking only one/being active on only once may be an explanation.

Reddit Refugee here venting

I’m in the post-ban blackpilled mode right no so please forgive me. I know reddit is falling apart but it isn’t happening fast enough. Is there any hope that the whole site will be destroyed? I really just want the whole site / app completely destroyed and thew Vichyite mods unable to have their power trips anymore.

Temperche ,

I’d say the only downside that I start feeling in the last days that especially in niche communities, there are hardly any comments or posts aside from my own. Feels a little lonely.

Temperche ,

We could advertise Lemmy in the youtube livestream chat of /r/ place: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1JEfxtknA0

Well, the current state is… nice lemmy.world/post/1867777

Authors demand credit and compensation from AI companies using their work without permission | OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta have been called out (www.techspot.com)

Authors demand credit and compensation from AI companies using their work without permission | OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta have been called out::The letter, published by professional writers’ organization The Authors Guild, is addressed to the bosses of OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Stability AI, IBM, and Microsoft. It calls out…

Temperche ,

I suspect the problem is that AI copies whole sentences that were originally published by authors - not that it just “learns” from it.

Temperche ,

Maybe it’s the ones where the content hasn’t been federated over to endlesstalk.org yet.

Temperche ,

old.endlesstalk.org/…/[email protected] - 404 page not found.

Temperche ,

Its not kbin but feddit.de instances. For example [email protected] or [email protected].

Temperche ,

Would be happy if you could look into this issue as well.
