Pour celles et ceux qui ne connaissent pas cette pratique atroce : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9rapie_de_conversion?wprov=sfla1

C'est déjà interdit en France et dans plusieurs pays européens, mais malheureusement la majorité des pays l'autorise encore.

Starting by not calling people that don't know/care about privacy "normies", and educating them I guess.

Also I'd say start with the "easier" ones, for instance anti-capitalist people are more open to find ways to avoid surveillance capitalism. If enough of these people care and educate their respective circles, eventually all people will care.

I checked both YouTube's "Trending" and my Lemmy feed today and I love how one is the perfect opposite of the other.

On one side, an algorithm wants me to ~~be amazed~~ watch ads looking at AMAZING videos talking about those wolves while on the other side a human enlights me with a good article that tempers the hype.

Thank you btw human

Yep, just as neutral and useful as all the research on how cigarette is "not that bad", conducted by Marlboro and friends

In my local community, we have a WhatsApp group for mutual help and services / goods exchange, the rule is no money, so it's mostly populated by leftists more or less open to understand the problematics of internet privacy (for context). There are a bit more than 350 persons.

Today, someone sent a message telling everybody that he's leaving Meta products for good, thus this group. A few other persons complained about meta, then I suggested that we could all leave WhatsApp and go on Signal and I briefly explained the network effect by saying that if no one uses signal because nobody is on it, then no one will ever use it if nobody takes the first step.

And this argument worked because an admin just created a signal group! More than 50 persons already switched!

Obviously the WhatsApp group will not be abandoned right away, but it has been decided that both groups will be used for now, then we'll see at the end of the year which group we abandon.

I really see hope in that kind of events, because if I managed to make more than 50 people switch, a portion of them will do the same for their other groups and family / friends.

I plan on hosting little conferences with this group on the libre culture and the attention economics, so hopefully I'll convince all of them that it's the right thing to do!

Back in networking classes we used to have entire rooms of replicated machines, all with contiguous addresses and same logins. We wrote a script to ssh into every computer of the room and eject and retract all the disk drives at the same time, it was wonderful ✨

Home Assistant people have been working pretty hard on it recently, haven't tried it but it seems promising

TLDR: standing all day long can be worse than sitting, but alternating standing and sitting positions is very good for your health.

Standing desks have never been promoting standing all day imo, the title is pure clickbait. Standing desks are good for your health, just use them correctly.

Not for screwing/unscrewing but in France we have a satire mnemonic for remembering right and left:

The right hand is the one with the thumb pointing left.

Works only if you look at the back of your hands, and obviously not useful. We use it mainly to mock someone who mix right and left

Great art but should be tagged NSFW

Edit: wow, I was not aware that the NSFW tag was such a big deal.

Just to clarify: NSFW doesn't mean I cannot refrain from masturbating at what I see, it just means I don't want to see this without first clicking on a blurry image. Everyone has their own sensitivity and it's sad to see not everyone respect that.

I don't want to debate on that all day and I'm not moderating this community (plus, this post comes from one of the moderators so I'm sure they know how to deal with it) so do whatever you want with it.

  • Big endian (a very powerful NPC)
  • Hardware abstraction (a spell that makes all the stuff disappears)
  • Obfuscation (invisibility spell)
  • Multiplexing (ability to cast several spells as one)
  • Dangling reference (when wrong information is given by somebody)
  • Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)
  • Pure virtual method (anything somebody learned but will never use)
  • Diamond inheritance (when someone in the party dies and all of their money is spread accross the others)

Can you tell what's my job?

I heard a story about a therapist that used RPGs as a tool to diagnose patients. They held group sessions with several patients and then had a private session with each of them to debrief.

I'm convinced a lot of things can reflect on the way people play and make up their character.
