But other words like SCUBA and NASA are not pronounced like the words they derive from, so this can’t be an all-encompassing rule.

ETA: Or maybe I’ve been pronouncing SCUBA and NASA wrong

So you can kind of breath while you wait to die?

And the pipe allows air down from the vent on the roof or wherever? I would have thought the vent is to let out pressure from methane build up or something. Plus somehow that air needs to not only get down the pipe but also up the one going to the toilet.

I’m starting to think this idea won’t catch on.

How does air make it all the way down the pipe to the back of the toilet, surely that pipe has methane or other gasses that are the reason for the vent existing?

Article says “a brief illness”, which narrows it down.

Yeah, my first thought was cancer, though there are plenty of other possibilities.

Um, you know where ramen grows, right?

Yes but that ramen does not grow on their heads.

It's one of the biggest experiments in fighting global poverty. Now the results are in (www.npr.org)

It’s an unprecedented – and massive – experiment: Since 2017 the U.S.-based charity GiveDirectly has been providing thousands of villagers in Kenya what’s called a “universal basic income” – a cash grant of about $50, delivered every month, with the commitment to keep the payments coming for 12 years. It is a...

Yeah, I think it’s a bit different. The Kenya study showed the monthly payments for 2 years was the least effective, which is what the Finland study did. The Finland one was also only a small number of people, where the Kenya one did entire villiages.

Giving the entire society the payments is different than only certain people, so I’m keen to see a wider scale trial in a western country.

Though with that said, western countries and NGOs may well be able to fund widescale UBI for developing countries, and that may be more worthwhile on a global scale.

I was in traffic on the weekend that was doing about half the speed limit, and passed a car that had been pulled over. I thought they must have done something pretty impressive to manage that.

When Google advertises that if you raise your hand in real life then Google Meet will mark you as having your hand raised, this reality just got a little bit closer.

I had assumed because Aegis had an option to import from Google Authenticator that this would mean you could export in bulk. Bad assumption to make, it sounds like you can do it if you have a rooted phone but Authenticator doesn’t make it easy. I did find this that shows a method to do a handful at once: blog.jay2k1.com/…/how-to-bulk-migrate-from-google…

For one, Aegis is more well known. Aegis has 6k+ stars where FreeOTP+ has about 500. This doesn’t mean it’s better, just that people are more likely to recommend it.

Aegis also has more features, and can import from many different authenticator apps (though as many don’t allow exports, this may require technical knowledge to get the database and feed it in). If you have root then Aegis can pull directly from the other apps.

Aegis claims they are better than FreeOTP because the encrypt passwords at rest.

One big difference is FreeOTP+ lets you not have to enter a pin/password to see the codes while Aegis you need to enter a pin, password, or biometric to see your codes.

Aegis is a free open source TOTP 2FA app like Google Authenticator, and available on both F-Droid and Google Play. You should be able to export from Google Authenticator and import into Aegis.

I’d like to see multi-reddit type functionality, so you can see each of the communities as one feed. And the ability to subscribe to that multi-lemmy.

Plus deduplication. One entry in the feed that covers all cross-posts (with some way to pick which comment feed you want to see - or hey, maybe combine them).

It’s just inflation. The value of a dollar in 2036 is a lot less than now.

Actually, Firefox counters with uBlock Origin and Google’s slowdown misses.

If this is how Lemmy is ran then I will need to find another community

Lemmy is not ran in any particular way.

That’s one community one one instance. On most instances, anyone can create a community and become the god of what is allowed there. That doesn’t mean it’s representative of the rest of that instance. But even if it is, you can post to other communities on other instances.

There is one mod on one community doing something dodgy (or just got a report about it being antisemitic and assumed they were right - after all, there’s no training course for being a lemmy mod). This is certainly not the way “lemmy is ran” and thinking lemmy is run in any particular way is missing the core aspect of what lemmy is.
