“Contrary to standard cosmological theories where the accelerated expansion of the universe is attributed to dark energy, our findings indicate that this expansion is due to the weakening forces of nature, not dark energy,” he continued.
So both dark matter and dark energy don't exist?
Psychopathy is a popular catch-all term. "Low-empathy" is better, but I think you're just a critical person and most people don't like criticism or self-reflection.
When businesses ask you to contact their help-desk via WhatsApp, it's a utility. When people call and message friends, family, and colleagues almost exclusively on WhatsApp or Messenger, it's a utility.
It's also putting the government in a position in which it functionally would have to provide a platform for everyone equally, Neo-Nazis [...]
Godwin's Law People preaching [insert terrible belief] on a government platform would be removed and charged for hate speech just as much as they would be if preaching these things in public spaces. If your government gives people with terrible_belief.jpg the chance to preach on public property, that's not a public property issue, that's a government issue.
Ultimately, saying social media should be a public utility is like saying casinos and strip clubs should be public utilities.
No, it isn't. If anything, turning certain popular social media apps into public utilities would limit them from being pure dopamine hits. Let other websites exist to fill the cesspool void. Not the one my grandma uses.
From what I understand:
The fee could be really small but scale depending on factors like business size. Or there could be no fee outright for businesses smaller than a certain size.
Let's not be nihilist here. It's better to come up with solutions than to give up.
If you had also read the article BTW you would have realized that spoilers: it's not about source code availability.
You saw the first few paragraphs about the Red Hat drama and didn't read further.
Reading the whole thing you'd realize it's a list of reasons why open source software hasn't become popular with the wider public, and his proposed solution to this.
I just included the idea he is proposing, others can read the article to see his reasoning.
I am all for having more people, but being an obscure "site" is a good filter imo.
The Voyager App has some bugs, but for what it is, I'm amazed by the polish.
On Reddit, all I did was look at memes from the top subreddits, spending my day filtering through the vastly unfunny majority. It's also through memes that I kept up to date with the news.
On Lemmy, I decided to not fall into that sort of doom scrolling again. I blocked all meme communities. I browse through "All" to find any obscure community that peaks my interest, block the ones that don't and add the ones that do to "Home" or "Favourites".
This means my feed is much more curated than the slop I was ingesting on Reddit. I still doom scroll sometimes 😅, but it's better now than it was before, I think.
Good explanation, thanks!
Here's a couple silly reasons why:
I kept asking for supernatural things to happen, or to win something like a small school lottery. The fact nothing happened, let alone a clear punishment, did disappoint me.
When I discovered that Santa was fake was when my faith started to really crumble.
Sometimes listening to the Pastors speak gives me a nice sensation on the back of my neck. I later discovered ASMR. I sometimes still listen to old religious people speak, but I'm not actually paying attention.
Here's the real reasons why:
Finding too many things I disagreed with or did not understand from the text.
Having a religious preacher fail to explain them to me.
Discovering other religions exist.
Learning what a cult is and making 1:1 comparisons to most religious entities.
Discovering how shitty the real world is.
Science (like, all of it)
History (also, all of it)
Discovering philosophy
I thought Monero solves this issue, with a level of effort large enough that it's almost impossible to crack.
