What is it, like broth savory, or some fake candy like flavor?

We were a whole lot poorer when everything was only regional. We need a balance. We will be a whole lot poorer and belligerent as a species if we are totally insular.

We are actually pretty close to being able to defeat the resource scarcity of our planetary prison. Gravitational differentiation is a bitch for sequestering almost all of Earth’s heavy resources after the Theia collision and the last time the entire surface of Earth was molten. The continents are like the flux or froth that rises to the surface. Nearly all of the heavy elements on the surface of the planet are from astroid collisions that have happened since the continents formed. The thing is, there are these things called m-type asteroids that are remnants of planetesimal cores broken apart in the early formation of the Sol system. Some of these large m-type asteroids are in near Earth orbits. These are differentiated, aka concentrated with rare elements. Fully accessing just one of these has a potential to completely upend what wealth means and all of our financial institutions. It could easily dwarf all human resource wealth that has ever been accessed on the surface of Earth. Accessing this kind of resource wealth will drive us into space in the future at large scales. We already have the materials science to build O’Neill cylinders that have Earth like centrifugal gravity and are 9.1 km in diameter by ~30 kilometers long. The scientific papers establishing this were published by Dr. O’Neill in the 1970s. The only thing holding us back is the will and the resources. We only get to that future if we put aside tribalism and work together.

We don’t need this dichotomous oversimplification of all or nothing. We need balance and we need to stop the culture of unregulated unethical capitalism. Capitalism must be regulated like the drug addicted STI ridden whore that it is and handled like a worthless ragdoll because this is what it really is. Corporations are disposable worthless things. They are not people. They should be the homeless beggars. They are the fodder on the front lines of conflict because corporations and companies are not people and killing them is a great and valiant thing. New companies can fill the voids. This is the whole point in capitalism. The problem is that we have let companies rule over people and that is feudalism. It is not a democracy at all. Whores cannot lead or rule us or we fall apart. They have no ethics, no values. They would just as soon kill you, but that is okay only because they are not people and they must die with extreme prejudice. Businesses have no rights except to be useful for a time. Being established as a business must become a liability not an asset because it is within real open market capitalism. No one gets all the gambles right every time unless they are cheating and in both cases they must die.

Thanks for the cross post.

Citations needed on mod tool complaints. I mod one of the largest communities on Lemmy. In 2 years I’ve had around a couple dozen times that required actual mod stuff. The tools are perfectly adequate for the volume of users in my opinion.

We all took it a little hard when some regular users left. I get that. There will always be people coming and going for various reasons.

There is also always an issue with narcissists that tend to get involved with moderating for the wrong reasons.

All humans are lazy at times. And all of us have a right to pick up an leave if we choose. Blaming the tools as a scapegoat for one’s laziness, or inadequacy, or to mask one’s financial limitations, seems to me like a narcissistic way to toss in the towel and check out, like an attempt to drag others down too.

I wish those that want to leave all the best, and I’ll still be here hanging around if you ever want to come back, friend. Regardless , thanks for what you contributed to this place in the time we spent as digital neighbors.

They implemented an alt method IIRC but you must go out of your way to search and find it. I just recall seeing a bunch of post headlines about using email or something like that a year so so back.

They send an initial SMS message that is a main expense and funded by some rich person and donations. I think that has some significance to encryption or something but I’m not sure of the details. I could be wrong on that one, it has been years since I read the details.

Share something useful from Lemmy with someone not on Lemmy, when that something does not also contain toxic negativity or vitriol, but is positive, inclusive, and cordial.

I don’t know what to do as an American, I don’t even speak good Russian

There are a lot of citations to things like Britannica from 1911 that is archived and public domain.

I had an ice bath once at 107, shit, and I don’t even remember why

In the beginning Stallgod made Vim (Joy) and Emacs (Steele), but the Microdevel made the world BASIC and the zombies flocked, filling the lowest levels of inferno, forever taunted by the illusion of treasure at the end of some rainbow, rot-brains washed cyclically of each past experience

If vanadium was like a typical chromium browser, I’d still be burning battery. Vanadium is core to Graphene. It is part of webview which is how basically everything works on the device. Someone explained it to me a few years ago, bit I don’t totally understand it. I got bad/typical battery life with a 4a and Firefox derivatives for privacy. It was only after I went to vanadium for everything that my battery life went much longer. Like, right now, I’ve had a bad health day so on my phone more than normal. It is 10:30 pm and I’m at 55% battery. I’ve watched around 2 hours of YT, played a few dozen rounds of Gauguin, read a few articles and spent a few hours on Lemmy today.

I default to 480p video with webp and I turn off my router’s 2.4G and only use 5G. I’m also using auto reboot stuff in Graphene to clear anything in persistent memory and the same in the router. Those also help with battery.

It isn’t just the network, and it isn’t just Graphene, but it all plays a part.

The way Graphene does root is what actually sold me. Having root generally available on any android device is insane. Tethering root to USB debug is a great solution when combined with the TPM, OTA, and the Auth app.

I totally respect anyone that chooses to limit their perspective scope.

For me, everything in life is a messy statistical abstraction. I would not go out of my way to make decisions or inconvenience myself in instances where I see vectors of negativity and small errors in ethical disposition. These are simply elements I passively note, and when faced with a choice, such past occurrences will weigh into my decisions.

For me, I struggle to recall specifics like memorized trivia, instances of certain behaviors, or even people’s names in conversational real time. I can recall most of this information if I try, but I must focus on it to do so. I instantly have access to my abstracted thoughts and oversimplifications that exist on something like a three dimensional roadmap. When I note these types of behaviors, it is like I am painting a picture of what driving down a familiar street feels like, and I remember that picture and place well, only that imagery is the actions of the person. It takes me a while to think about all the features that make up that place, but I know where I am and what that means just by visiting. The person is not any feature but an ambiance that exists in my mind. It is their identity to me. I may not recall the name feature well, but this is not who they are to me; they are an abstraction like everything else; a likely set of probabilities, but one where I’m always curious how they evolve or add new features. No one is static after all, unless they are dead. Still I weigh negative vectors into those statistics objectively and make predictions based upon them.

The way root is managed and the security of OTA updates along with the demonstrated knowledge of how Android users groups and SELinux effectively work are far superior to anything else I have seen in any ROM that I have run previously. Most others were little more than novel demonstrations of CVE vulnerability exploits and setups intended for oddball extra use cases and not a primary device in their implementation. Graphene is a legitimate ongoing secured solution well worth supporting. The TPM chip is a huge deal here.

It depends on how you abstract. I believe that small patterns are strongly indicative of larger patterns. My life experiences have largely reflected this pattern. All of my worst business encounters were with people that cheated on their partners in their personal life. They ultimately showed the same types of behavior in business. The best people I have worked for were exactly the opposite. This includes both while running my own business for years and many people I have worked for as an employee.

The concept is also an extension of my realization that anyone that likes to talk about everyone else negatively at work when one on one, is doing the exact same thing with every other individual when I am not around and is saying the same negative stuff about me. Such a person appears to be everyone’s friend on a personal level, but is actually stabbing everyone in the back equally to elevate themselves and increase their own awareness of weaknesses they might highlight or play against others. The act of talking negatively about everyone else is a strike or vector that will later manifest if given the opportunity or under pressure.

I am metaphorically applying Newton’s premise that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, to the probability of future human behavior. If the person indicates a certain vector of thought that causes damage, they tilt the scales of future interaction and are therefore some degree more likely than not to produce a suboptimal future compared to others with a more positive track record, character, and ethics.

It is not about that. The pixel has a TPM chip (Trusted Protection Module). This is similar to how secure boot works in desktop computers. It is a special external chip that has a secret internal cryptographic key that can never be accessed by anyone. This chip can be used to create secured communications between devices. This is how it is possible to do over the air updates securely and how the device’s security can be checked with a special app and an external device like an old Graphene phone. All files on the device can be hashed with the secret key to determine of they have been changed. Other phones do not include a TPM chip and this is the primary reason they cannot be supported directly by Graphene.

Get off the train. A Pixel setup with Graphene OS never has such nonsense features. I even fully control my own notifications. A 2 year old device still has 2 days of battery life with lots of use, and I have no bloatware at all. It isn’t like some difficult techie thing either. Updates are secure, automatic, and over the air.

It is not about the initial application. There is enormous power in the ability to control such an app and roll changes in over time

Isn’t this the main complaint about China and the communists from the West in terms of actions, not the half baked oversimplified idealist nonsense; anti academic injustices due to populist stupidity in politics that lead to mass murder and loss of human progress?
