  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • Don't be a cunt.

    Simple advice that works. More people should try it.

  • What are your technology mispredictions?

    Jump

  • Everything ? I though MS Office woukd fail becase no one will want to close source their data files, i was using an Amiga at the time at home and the file format was standard and you chose the app to use

    It started there and just progressed, Apple was a big one, people won't buy into their closed wall'd shenanigans. Wrong again.

    Messaging, what a debacle that has turned into. I assumed the system would be standardised and the fight would be over the front end for interoperability, wrong again.

  • So the takeaway here is we need to invade the US , batter them into submission before they'll become reflective and apologetic ? Similarly Russia, and Israel i guess

  • It's not that all conservative people are stupid but all stupid people are inevitability conservative.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • it was one of the most important breakthroughs to date in fusion

    What ? It was not really. Here's a physicist discussing why.

    https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2023/08/fusion-foolery/

    In the end, the NIF fusion accomplishment might be called a stunt. Stunts explore what we can do (often after an insane amount of preparation, practice, and failure), rather than what’s practical. Stunts hide the pains and present an appearance of ease and grace, but it’s a show.

    The “more energy out than laser energy in” equation masks several fundamental problems. NIF’s doped glass lasers have an efficiency of about 0.5 percent, meaning that they would have sucked in roughly 400 megajoules of energy from the grid in order to produce the 2.1 megajoules of light energy…

    To be fair the hype machine was from the press not the scientists

    Let’s pause to say: well done! Honestly. No sarcasm. What they did was ridiculously hard, and it finally worked after more than a decade of trying. They actually produced a significant number of fusion events! There’s no faking that, and I’d like to see you try. So let’s be clear that I’m not knocking the accomplishment in itself. My major beef is how we interpret the implications for society.

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

  • Started year 5 on this one, if the batteey was user replaceable, I'd so that and keep using it.

  • The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship..

    They voted GOP to hurt others, then get upset they were caught in the cross fire and when looking for empathy are shunned

    There a word for that /s

    These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

    1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
    2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
    3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
    4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
    5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

  • But thats the same with everything, Mastodon and X as well.

  • Not if its under the auspices of the state. They are after all the entity describing murder. When the armed forces kill somone for example (recently in Venezuela butnalos Nigera etal)

    The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime - Max Stirner

  • Anyone else on here a "Reddit refugee"?

    Jump

  • Yes and no, I was on Mastodon long ago, peaked into Lenmy, watched other Fediverse prokects with interest.

    I'd not used Reddit for many years, before I actually made a Lemmy account, then when I saw Boost was available for Lemmy, I started using that.

    I am odd though, old and have a differnt view of the internet based around it being a space for enthusiasts and tinkerers and corporate can and will only ever eventually enshitifiy whatever their fingers touch, so I dont use things like FB, Reddit, Apple products, Microsoft products, WhatsApp, Insta, Light room etc

  • She says she was wrong and states she says when she is wrong, her opening gambit says otherwise.

    The thing she disagrees with "libs" over is she is pro school shootings and anti female autonomy.. And what else ? Only those two things had you voting for Trump?

  • At what point is liking childrens toys sad?

    Jump

  • It's not sad, it is infantalizing, whether that's "good or bad..."

    As to spectating sports (rather the participation) :)

    Visiting America in 1946, French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss commented on the endearingly infantile traits of American culture. He especially noted adults’ childish adulation of baseball, their passionate approach to toy-like cars and the amount of time they invested in hobbies.
