YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead

Generally medical professionals do not vouch for using milk for tear gas despite it often being touted. The research seems to suggest they are largely the same in providing relief...

Yeah, and if you’re into the pain it will cause, you can try moonshine

That’s a rollercoaster, the thing happened in Italy where currency is the euro, but the article gives the amount in US dollars and then British pounds, I understand it’s BBC but ffs…

It makes people feel better, not in general but better than others, most religions are about “this is how I’m better then you heathen”

maniel ,

It’s not about religion, haters will be haters, religion is just a tool haters use to prop up their views

maniel ,

That’s why those exist

Where’s Sriracha mayo at? Also normal mayo, garlic sauces like aioli, toum etc, here in Poland ground horseradish is the shit

maniel ,

Gonna need the source here, for science of course

maniel ,

Thanks

Many people I know don’t have room to spare for a PC, small desk etc, nowadays for gaming handheld PCs are more and more obvious choice, as you could use them connected to a TV like a conventional console, and do actual work with a wireless kb/m combo, it’s not ergonomic than a laptop IMO,

Personally I’d go ITX in a small <15L case

maniel ,

Yeah, I considered selling my gaming PC and buying something like Legion GO, but it would require some sacrifices on my part

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

maniel ,

that might be directly related to “reconstruction of Gaza” thing

Wut?

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

maniel , (edited )

Yeah, I’ve been banned because I said something about Uighur genocide, on the other hand I’m wondering about dessalines’ nationality and his knowledge about communism, it’s easy to be communist of you only touched it online, I for example live in post communist country and remember some of it, old people are talking about it, it wasn’t that good

I’d “understand” if everything would be transparent and they admitted it’s tankie instance and you’re banned because you don’t like China but no, everything is saying their own COC

Do we want someone like that not only administrating the oldest Lemmy instance but developing the whole platform?

maniel ,

Wow, not appealing at all

maniel ,

yeah, in some languages it’s even more complicated, you have the thing called inflection, we have this here in Polish but some languages went overboard with this like Spanish for example, currently I’m learning Japanese via duolingo and i find it relatively simple

maniel , (edited )

Yeah, even the file system is a hierarchical database, same with Windows registry, Internet domain registry too, not every database has to be SQL or relations based. There also are time based databases like influxdb for storing time based data, like metrics, logs

Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails (apnews.com)

A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes....

maniel ,

Perfectly readable, I’d bet there are some languages where “I’m” is implied

maniel ,

as the rest said lossless compression won’t really work on media files as they’re already compressed, there are probably some compression layers based on fuse you could mount over your cloud storage mount point (if it supports mounting in linux) and it’d be transparent, but in case of video files i believe your only solution is to reencode those files, handbrake is a nice GUI tool

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced...

maniel ,

yeah, just donate buttons, you can donate your shitcoin to the creator, just that, can be disabled probably

maniel ,

It’s just an interface element suggesting their product, I don’t find it that intrusive for having to be an opt in option

maniel ,

as most addons do, imagine they’re removing your ads

maniel ,

i guess “beaver” would’ve been kinda awkward with today’s connotations with shaving the beaver etc.

maniel ,

You can shave what you want, it’s your life

maniel ,

Banned yet? Posting such things on Lemmy.ml?

maniel ,

I thought it’s used instead of chlorine to decontaminate water

maniel ,

Yeah, looks like I mixed fluoride with ozone

maniel ,

That’s The Onion headline right there

maniel ,

Why in poor countries? Why not in more developed markets? Is lack of regulations the main reason?

maniel ,

Who put that cat in resin?

maniel ,

Sun’s corolla looks spectacular

maniel ,

I thought it’s made through electrolysis

I bought an Asus RT-AX53U, it was the cheapest WiFi 6 router with openwrt support

maniel ,

Of course it does, anyway it’s normal Linux, so it does everything desktop Linux does, you gonna be of course limited by your device hardware capabilities like RAM or storage, so maybe you won’t be able to deploy a kubernetes stack on your home router but it’ll be doable on a more capable device running OpenWRT like an RPi, PC or NAS;-)

maniel ,

are there any AX routers supported by DD-WRT? all routers your article suggests are AC routers, quick research show no AX routers on support lists

maniel , (edited )

Breezy Weather all the way, also like Flowx app for it’s easy to read and condensed whole week chart also available at a widget, name and icon looks like period taking tracking app but believe me it’s a weather app, shame it’s not open source

maniel , (edited )

Yeah, I’ve meant a period tracking app, autocorrect 😁

When I buy books I buy physical, but sometimes digital is more practical, even with small format books I struggle to read them in public transit during my work commute, with a reader like Kindle or even with a smartphone I don’t have to work about my book being damaged in a bag it someone, even without a cover a reader will say least scratch a bit, on the other hand dropping a reader is another story, the screen can easily break, book won’t. Also the obvious thing is you can get ebooks instantly, physical ones have to be shipped or at least brought from the store like everything physical. Another thing is WAREZ, you can get ebooks illegally, I don’t condone it but it makes the access easier, sometimes it’s the only way to get a given book because it’s sold out or something. But I’m one of those people who don’t have a problem with ebooks, on an ebook reader I see them equal with paper ones

maniel ,

i heard about it almost 20 years ago, so it’s basically a common knowledge

maniel , (edited )

Yeah, religion is the deadliest ideology, basically “that’s a made-up reason we’re better than you and that’s why you need to die” basically an extension of conservatism

maniel ,

Live service, ok

maniel ,

That’s the thing, you use white tomatoes /s

maniel ,

Yup, saw it in OnePlus gallery about a month ago

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

maniel , (edited )

Past Linux user here, not only do I use openwrt, but I base my routers choice on openwrt support, it’s weird to me there are long term Linux users who don’t know what openwrt is

maniel , (edited )

You mean as an OS? Windows, but I feel fluent in Linux, used it for a few years, subbed here as a sentiment😄 I work in IT, mainly Windows administration but some Linux too
