Your owners gotta know what you’re doing at all times eh. Can’t leave notepad out of the tracking eco system

freebee ,

That’s near impossible. It will bloat notepad, at the very least. Longer loading, more chances of crashing, creating unnecessary data-traffic… literally no one using notepad in the last 25 years needed any of this, they used it for it’s simplicity, speed, reliability, all of which it becomes less with features like these. Put that shit in word and o365, where it belongs.

freebee OP ,

Never heard of it

freebee OP ,

good point.

Microplastics Found In 88 Percent Of Sampled Food, From Sirloin Steaks To Plant-Based Burgers (www.iflscience.com)

It isn’t just seafood that’s loaded with microplastic pollution. In a new study, scientists found microplastics in nearly 90 of sampled meats and meat-like alternatives – including seafood, chicken breasts, beef steaks, tofu, and plant-based burgers....

Tiniest pieces of plastic from for example tires would classify as fine dust particles, which is like a containerword for tiny particles from any kind of material, as long as it’stiny enough it counts as PM. PM10 and PM2.5 is somewhat researched. Breathing in fine dust particles often and in large quantities for sure ain’t healthy, correlation with lung irritation, asthma, etc. Whether it’s specifically the plastic share of the PM that’s bad: still unknown I think.

Any suggestions for other languages? German? Italian?

freebee ,

I like that’s it’s more real life, the talking, people, subjects etc. Think I’ll use it for a while, because on duolingo I wasn’t evolving much anymore in German, this goes further up it seems

Just as pushy as duolingo unfortunately in ads and mainly in pushing to and rewarding premium.

freebee ,

If this is what we get, fine. She’s hot.

freebee ,

Sure, but only if we can do it in a combo with a lesser efficient operating system for any device.

freebee ,

If fuel was subsidised, it could be because it gets hit twice: general rising (import) prices + subsidies cut, while some other products might only feel the general rising prices.

freebee ,

To distinguish in their minds between people possessing free will and such, and people who don’t (yet). The first, the adult, is only a victim of their own poor life choices (in this individual responsibility-guilt view on society), their shitty life situation is supposedly their own fault. While children are ‘victims’. Thus advocating for equal chances rather than actual equality (which would involve shit like hard capping inheritance etc).

freebee ,

Well we do have the ‘index’ mechanism: all paychecks and wellfare adjust magically and automatically when stuff in shops gets more expensive. There’s worse places to live, I guess.

Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change...

freebee ,

I agree. Defederate.

freebee ,

They’ll try to dominate the way the protocols evolve. Try to push more and more crap into it because they’re too big to ignore. Insert becoming ad, bot, corporate friendlier stuff. Fediverse doesn’t need meta. It’s nice and cosy and rather friendly here, I’ld like it to stay that way. It’s like Google dominates some “open source” and pushes browsers towards more and more DRM friendly etc. We don’t need that.

freebee ,

Track record.

freebee ,

But it can’t run DOOM.

freebee ,

Could be they don’t.

freebee ,

True, but unless still using .xls instead of .xlsx chances of reaching the row limit on a sheet became rather small, even for very large companies. Many issues with the everything in excel hell, but the row limit isn’t a main one (anymore).

freebee ,

It does still happen. Even in new projects. It happened in Britain on their big COVID19.xls sheet

www.bbc.com/news/technology-54423988

freebee ,

Excel has it too if you store it in onedrive or a sharepoint library with versioning enabled

freebee ,

I god damn hate that they started messing around in notepad.

I use it for temporary notes. Suddenly it’s got tabs, and everything I close it and open it again shit is still there. It was a feature to me that I didn’t have to actively decide to remove stuff written. They messed with my workflow now I’m piling up tabs with shit in yet another location.

I want to revert to the oldest notepad I can find.

  • the infinite monkey cage
  • cautionary tales
  • crowdscience
freebee ,

You might like some episodes of cautionary tales with Tim harford. Quite a few are about engineering oopsies with big consequences.

freebee ,

Haha great! I got into cautionary tales because of ‘more or less’, searched for Tim harford because I liked he’s presenting!

freebee ,

You need to update the app if you don’t do that automatically.

freebee ,

Sure, it’s mostly BBC and mostly science.

My all time favorite podcast is Elements. It’s from 2014-2016, but still worth the listen! Every episode explores an element or a group of similar elements on the periodic table. Physics and chemistry is often very theoretical and weird and hard to understand (for me), but in this podcast it gets very applied and business oriented: which industry uses this stuff, why, how …? It was my gateway-podcast into the BBC really.

  • The documentary podcast: I often don’t listen, it very much depends on the subject
  • witness history
  • Discovery: same, depends on subject
  • The food chain
  • 50 things that made the modern economy
  • Unexpected elements
  • Hidden brain (shankar vedantam)
  • Radiolab (WNYC studios)
  • The climate question
  • Sliced bread

One that doesn’t really fit the others but i liked very much: death in ice valley.

And then a few in german and dutch language, mostly politics/society, i’m just gonna assume you don’t understand dutch or german ;)

Care to share some of yours?

freebee ,

With that budget, gonna be some crazy new features soon!!

No really this helps lemmy, good job!

Trump, Kanye, musk etc are the weird ones. Very wealthy people are actually likely to hide from the public and only seek the attention of their ridiculously wealthy peers or whomever they want to buy influence, not from the entire world population with every brainfart they produce. It’s just the very top few has a hard time avoiding it because they’re on top of the lists and stand out. Kanye or trump are still * far* away from that wealthiest top. Look at the list of 1bn-80bn worth person: many you’ll barely have heard of before, if at all. It gets even more so if you ditch the Anglo-Saxon centered view on the list and look at the most wealthy people in China, Middle East etc

freebee ,

Bigger size = bigger profit margin. We’d be a lot further towards carbon neutral if cars hadn’t grown to ridiculous average sizes while engine efficiency improved a lot.

No expert at all, but isn’t it the case that the phone is then somewhat marked as not trustworthy, making it impossible to use banking apps and such?

There are definitely scaling limits for bike on trains, 1 bike takes up the space and manoeuvre room that could fit 3 or 4 people. Bike to station, leave bike there, use (ad hoc rental) other bike at destination is clearly a lot more scalable than filling trains with bikes.

freebee ,

I’ve done the bike-on-train thing many times and in many countries. The issue isn’t just the space the bike needs on the train itself, it’s the space the person needs to be able to get a bike on board without blocking the path and the infrastructurerequired to get the bike right next to the train. Trains fit for many bikes need wider doors, more doors (that costs seats), alignment between platform and train becomes even more important, that the platforms are very accessible too (there is often, if you’re lucky, 1 elevator to the platform that fits 1 or 2 bikes at a time, that elevator gets jammed up and competes with wheelchairs and childstrollers and large suitcases very quickly) et cetera. Many smaller stations still have 0 elevators of ramps, only stairs. The only somewhat convenient bike on a train is the foldable bike, but even that creates the hassle described, tho less. I try to avoid taking my own bike on a train (and I think taking your own is usually too cheap compared to a person-ticket and the hassle taking the bike creates).

Anyhow, I think 1 person + 1 bike = 1,75 seats is underestimating it a lot.

Commenting this on a post about one of the new gatekeepers is quite ironic.

freebee ,

You can post all you want, if you actually want to reach an audience you must comply with silly rules (try putting an innocent non sexualized nipple on an albumcover and posting it to facebook) and you have to pay for visibility because algorithm heavily favours money. On top it’s vendor locked-in, there are only very few networks with a very large userbase, and even fewer corporations behind them.

freebee ,

you’re disseminating into the void and this conversation we’re having is a fine example. The gatekeeper (in this case: facebook) determines who gets a very wide audience and who gets to scream into the void.

freebee ,

Yet

It must exist exist already. What would it be called: only fans where naked girls talk read out loud philosophy in a sexy voice while showering in a non-sexual way

freebee ,

freebee ,

All easy decisions, in hindsight. In reality quite a few missed out completely on all of those or lost significantly. It’s all just some sort of gambling in a casino. I’m sure in hindsight it will be clear which opportunities you missed out on in your time. The big difference is being able to save to start off with, because wages were relatively a lot higher for simple jobs than they are now.

freebee ,

they’re insane.

freebee ,

It’s fun for the first few months. Catch up on games movies etc. Gets boring after a few months, most people need goals in life and find it hard to set them for themselves…

freebee ,

It’s not impossible, but it can be hard. A job offers some obligated (often real life) social interaction. Might be annoying sometimes, but none at all isn’t healthy either. Many people really aren’t capable of setting goals for themselves, having their own business or networks etc. Most jobs offer more than money to an employee, the employee might not realise it themselves.

freebee ,

Letting YouTube and reddit and Shitter and co do their thing while making sure all the great advice on how to avoid them is easily accesible on Lemmy…
