  • Fully Charged in Just 12 Minutes! Korean Scientists Develop Next-Gen Lithium–Sulfur Battery

  • How many years?

    The amount of utility I accidentally extract from my phone over the course of a day on one charge is pretty incredible.

  • It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy

    Jump

  • That is my take.

    The delusion of grandeur I might suffer would be something like people foster such a strong culture of cooperation and mutual aid that state government operations and programs become obsolete.

    That's a north star. Something to aim for as a concept. But of course we won't ever land a rocket ship on the actual North Star.

  • I think like any other political or philosophical view, this is one of those things where you will get one unique answer per each anarchist you ask.

    Speaking personally, I think philosophies should be used as tools, and as the best tool for a job.

    To me, anarchism means disregarding established authority and working together to achieve whatever a goal is. Ideally cooperatively. Some groups will perform well at this and some will not. Some will perform better under a more traditional organized structure.

    I don't want to subjugate people with anarchist dogma. I want to help people learn to trust themselves and to cooperate. And I want to get better at it myself.

  • Same as anarchism.

    Lots of people valuing self reliance and care for others without regard for our existing leaders and systems. There just happens to also be systems of governments around.

  • D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week

    Jump

  • Commodity hardware & open source software for the win.

    When my Western Digital NAS was never going to get critical security patches, I was so freaking glad to find out that they just used software raid... I threw the HDDs in a Debian server and never looked back.

    It's certainly nice to have things that are turn-key, but if you can find your way around any OS, just avoid proprietary everything.

  • I love it. I've been enjoying "MotherFather" as a soft landing out of habitually cursing when frustrated.

  • Do you ever use librivox? There are a few specific readers I found there that are great for me to fall asleep to.

  • Utilizing the library is a good idea, I should really do they more. I know in the US they need our support too.

  • Lately I have been trying to notice my doom scrolling actually using it as a cue to convert that energy into reading something I'm interested in.

    I'm trying to quit scrolling like I quit smoking decades ago: with intentional anger for being controlled and then redirection.

  • I have, on a few occasions, rebooted my reading habit from traveling by airplane.

    I have found that if I do everything I can to feel as good as possible before a flight, and bring a book in my carry on, it's one of the rare situations that there is nothing pulling me away from reading. I went somewhere for work last month and I finished 2 books on that trip. That made me really happy and motivated to keep it alive.

  • What was a time that two adversaries had such different objectives that they were practically playing a different game against each other?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think asymmetric warfare is they key word I was grasping for.

    I guess I wonder what other games, besides geopolitical competitions (or conflicts specifically) represent similar asymmetry

  • Elon Musk Dragged After His Own Chatbot Admits He's A 'Significant Spreader' Of Misinformation

    Jump

  • Chatbots can't "admit" things. They regurgitate text that just happens to be information a lot of the time.

    That said, the irony is iron clad.

  • This is probably true of a lot of covert operations. Thanks for the history, I did not know that!

    Some unions have staff which are also unionized and have experienced union-busting by those employing unions.
