  • TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access

    Jump

  • I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.

    I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers that, like, make me feel better.

    I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension (idk shit about docker and don’t really want to learn rn), like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?

  • TIL about limnic eruptions, a type of natural hazard in which dissolved CO2 erupts from deep lake waters forming a gas cloud capable of asphyxiating everything in its path.

    The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account.

    Jump

  • This is always what my YouTube homepage looks like because I only access it in ghostery browser, using a ghost tab by default (like incognito/private/inprivate, but because ghostery, also blocks tracking, cookies, etc.)

    I typically completely close the browser between links (it’s my default link handling browser for Lemmy), so it gets reset frequently enough to have nothing on home if I actually navigate there.

  • You're asked to vote for the food and drink that best fits the region you live in... What would you vote for?

  • If left alone, it grows unimaginably large and towering, imposing, shading out smaller things that are useful for diversity and overall system integrity. The only option to prevent the overgrowth and strangulation of positive things is to constantly prune the apathy back before it gets too big. A truly sisyphean undertaking.

    I think of it like rain forest canopy trees.

  • I feel like the solution to this is more Luigi, tbh.

    People would be less selfish if they didn’t feel so hopeless.

    Color doesn’t matter just tell me the bits plz.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Americans 'Have Been Brainwashed' By Fox News, New York Post As She Opposes U.S. Entering Israel-Iran War

    Jump

  • Mmm I can’t wait to see the unintended consequences of that backpedaling.

    God I hope there are some..

  • Books

    Jump

  • My parents sort of did this to me for a while.. I did get some books I ended up really liking this way but we also lived way out in the country so getting to a library was difficult. Didn’t have much choice but to try them.

    But then they realized I was well beyond kids/young adult books and started giving me books they liked when I was in 5th grade, like sphere and the third pandemic.. my teachers thought it was super weird, and I got a lot of negative comments about age appropriate-ness, but I had a dictionary and undiagnosed autism (diagnosed adhd, though), it was fine.

    I was so excited when we moved and I was walking distance from a library. I ended up getting 2 library cards so I could reserve a bunch of stuff and still check out 5 at a time (I was there usually twice a week, and would just burn through books at around 1,000 pages a day, because it was all I ever did)

  • Trump ‘reamed out’ Hegseth for flop birthday parade

    Jump

  • There are two types of people who survive decently in the military. Those who can find every loophole and can maliciously comply, and those who allow themselves to be completely broken and reshaped into perfect compliance by the system.

    Many people believe the second group is more common, but it’s really not, since those people tend to be in lower ranking positions. Bullet catchers and the like.

  • You.. toast it and then egg wash it, and then eat it without cooking the egg..?

    I mean that sounds nasty af to me, but you do you :)

    Most animals have better births than humans but I, a human woman, would not want to be a kiwi bird (avian variety, IDK what words mean over there).

  • Hubris

  • I’ve been invited on a few cruises.

    I was in the navy, and immediately launch into a tirade about how top heavy and unsafe those things are.

    “Well it’s never been a problem for us”

    Okie dokie, I took statistics, so hard pass all the same :)

  • How would you spread an infectious disease via the internet?

  • Need to throw in some viral stupidity like licking toilet seats and tampering with food and stuff.

  • Depends on the class.

    I had a statistics course that allowed us one single sided page, but as long as your printer could handle infinitely small print, she didn’t care if you had magnification. You could hypothetically have keychain bible print for your entire book as a cheat sheet, it just wouldn’t help you in the allotted time.

    My cheat sheet for R was nothing but codes because I’m not a coder at all (R and basic Linux are my entire coding experience, and it was fucking miserable) and that helped if I remembered to label the fucking codes. And LOL nope.

    But I cheated in other classes by doing such nonsense as writing vocab on my shoes… in college language courses, which I paid for myself.. so dumb and counter productive.

    I was never smart enough to cheat in regular school.. I just brute forced the work.. ironyyyyyyyyy

  • Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages

    Jump

  • Stop redirecting them. Make it cost them.

    Tell your neighbors to file an “it arrived late” or “it didn’t arrive” complaint. Get two and send one back. Their fault for being shit companies.

    If something is delivered to you by mistake, it’s not your responsibility to fix the mistake, you just got free stuff.

    If it goes through USPS, it might be a federal offense to open stuff delivered via USPS, but is that true of third party parcel delivery? Almost certainly not, because USPS is a government org and those third party shit delivery companies aren’t..

    So now any package that’s delivered to me by anyone other than USPS.. it’s mine now, and I open it to see if I want whatever trash my neighbors are buying.

    I used to try to fix the problem.. but then I realized it’s NOT MY PROBLEM.

    Humans are fucking weird yo.

  • I had a diskman when they were dying to pure MP3 players.

    It was an ATRAK3 plus (a proprietary compression format) and CD player combo that came with software to burn whole libraries on standard CDs, complete with folders and everything.

    It was cool as hell, a built-in an/fm tuner, and I used it for work for years along with a single rewritable cd. I had different folders for different languages and genres and shit.

    You can buy them on eBay now for like $30, which ironically is more than I paid for it in 2002-4 or whatever it was, however the software to convert to the ATRAK3 plus format was super super hard to find even in the early naughties, unless you have the installer disc.

    They should have put one of those into the museum. Would have been way cooler and more informative and shit
