It’s a conspiracy!

I’m not familiar with Lunduke. Could you elaborate?

Lemmy is a free and open-source software for running self-hosted social news aggregation and discussion forums. These hosts, known as “instances”, communicate with each other using the ActivityPub protocol.

Oooohhhh that looks very nice. Although the battery is much smaller than the Glucosent.

LEDs and rechargeable batteries have changed everything. Mine lasts for many hours before it needs to be recharged. And it only takes a little bit to recharge it.

My Glucusent book light, I use it every night when I read before bed. It is the best book light I’ve ever had and I absolutely love it.

I wish Telegram would just enable default E2EE. Oh well, time to switch to Signal!

I believe they were bought by someone and eventually implemented some questionable practices. I don’t remember the exact details, maybe someone else does.

Here’s a link to the chatbot. It’s pretty good at explaining things and has a lot of patience for the hopeless drivel conspiracy theories contain. I like how it doesn’t just refute them with specific evidence, but tears apart the very logic of the conspiracy theories.

I was once driving on some back roads I was unfamiliar with. I turned a corner and didn’t realize there was a stop sign until too late and went right through the intersection. As I went through it, I turned my head to the left and noticed that a car was heading right for me. It missed me by inches.

Go vote everyone!

It’s a twofold issue. One is that Telegram is operating an encrypted messaging platform that violates French law. That’s where I disagree with French law, messages should be allowed to be encrypted and the government shouldn’t be allowed to interfere with it.

The other issue is the public communications that take place on Telegram that are facilitating horrible stuff like CSAM, animal abuse, and terrorism. This is well documented and I’ve seen two articles about Telegram’s horrible uses just today (see my comment for the other): https://dubvee.org/post/1782604

Telegram could provide a large majority of the communications. There are public channels and groups that anyone can view, a Telegram account isn’t needed. Even Telegram calls itself a “social media app” so it’s disingenuous to describe all of its communications as private. The issue is that they choose not to cooperate with governments, which violates the law. This is where I have a problem with Telegram. They should help law enforcement if they have access to the messages.

I say all this as an avid Telegram user. I really wish they would just encrypt all communications and force people to seek things out instead of allowing the horrible stuff to be publicly broadcast. That’s what Signal does. The real question is, why doesn’t Telegram?

This is an unfair characterization of the issue. It’s more like the government asking to enter your home because they have evidence that you’ve been hosting known murderers for their “We love to murder people” social club. And when asked for permission to enter your response was, “these people have every right to talk about all the murders they’ve committed.”

It sounds like they want you to do it during working hours or else they wouldn’t offer those times. It’s a service offered by your job so it could be interpreted as a work-related function and therefore you should get paid for utilizing it.

It doesn’t seem so. I looked on YouTube and someone cut together a lot of gameplay footage from different sources. It’s enough to get a sense for the game. It looks really cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhhH_ocfqZw&t=957s

Search Engine with PJ Vogt. They do deep dives into all kinds of things and it’s full of interesting information.

I’ve been using Kagi for a while now and I love it. I actually get useful search results. Yeah, it’s paid, but it’s sooo worth it.

Here’s what your query looks like in Kagi:

My partner uses a Logitech MX Ergo. It doesn’t match all your specs, but it’s a very nice mouse. The initially purchased mouse was refurbished from Amazon and it was having problems connecting to multiple devices. Logitech sent a completely new mouse no questions asked!

I think you’re giving companies too much credit. Freakonomics did a series called “Does Advertising Actually Work?” and the tl;dr was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
