emptiestplace,

Mercator would like a word.

emptiestplace,

Agree. Anyone who expresses opinions or experiences so confidently/authoritatively may be more closely aligned with the problem than its solution.

emptiestplace,

That’s weird.

emptiestplace,

How sensitive are you? I’ve found I struggle with them a bit if I eat lots suddenly after not eating them for a while, but if I continue, it tends to be fine. My guess is that the reason it is inconsistent for me is related to fluctuations in gut bacteria partially due to what I am eating…

I know actual IBS is no joke, but I think it would be interesting to determine your threshold and see if you can change it at all. For example, eat a pea-sized piece of onion and wait a couple days. No effect, start eating a pea-sized piece of onion every day and wait for cumulative effects (a week or two?). Still no effect, add another piece for one day, go back to regular dose for a couple days, etc. When you reach the point where it starts to cause discomfort, back off a bit and try to push it again in a week or two.

Signal leaked random contacts to me! (feddit.de)

When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place....

emptiestplace,

Why is this being downvoted?

emptiestplace,

Privacy aside, but just for a second - if we don’t hold ourselves to a higher standard, our standard will just be lower. That’s all that will happen.

emptiestplace,

Agree, but I wasn’t talking about privacy.

emptiestplace,

No worries, it seems like you understand perfectly - I was just reflecting on the downvotes above.

I like it here because the people often seem real, and the voting generally seems (to me, anyway) to follow more of a meritocratic pattern than whatever the fuck has been going on at the other place for the last ten or more years.

We should probably try to really understand these differences so we might get better at designing communities that are actually sustainable. Maybe I am just getting old - I’m tired of starting over, I’m tired of watching great communities self-destruct.

emptiestplace,

That’s not what this is, unfortunately.

emptiestplace,

What you just wrote would be a red flag for me.

emptiestplace,

Why do we have political sides?

emptiestplace,

There is an ‘s’ in Microsoft, friend. It’s the one shaped like a ssssnake.

emptiestplace,

What if gigabit hookup is the problem?

emptiestplace,

Do you ever have unexpected human visitors?

emptiestplace,

That’s pretty good!

emptiestplace,

This one isn’t confusing, though. Top to bottom.

emptiestplace,

The bottom one is the person who is sharing a meme, I think? I don’t understand the idea of reading their commentary before looking at the image. I know what you are talking about, but I think that’s more when it is replies, isn’t it?

emptiestplace,

You’re right, we probably should’ve noticed sooner.

emptiestplace,

It seems like you are implying this is an obvious optimization, regardless of context. Why do we not care what’s going on with b?

emptiestplace,

Yeah, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. People talk about “when Linus dies”, and obviously that will be devastating, but in my mind Bram just was. I wish I’d made a point of meeting him, or at least sending him an email to say thanks. Not for vim specifically, though I will probably use it until my fingers quit working. As with countess others, Bram inspired me to learn about ICCF Holland, and from there I had the privilege of supporting a child in Uganda through school. That’s what I’d want to thank him for. And vim.

emptiestplace,

and then Bram died :(

Cryptographers Just Got Closer to Enabling Fully Private Internet Searches (www.wired.com)

" three researchers have crafted a long-sought version of private information retrieval and extended it to build a more general privacy strategy. The work, which received a Best Paper Award in June 2023 at the annual Symposium on Theory of Computing, topples a major theoretical barrier on the way to a truly private search."

emptiestplace,

So we all just have a copy of the internet and then we can grep for things we are interested in … I’m actually not super against this.

emptiestplace,

Imagine the outrage, though… exceptionalism only works in one direction.

emptiestplace,

Often. :(

I think this may have even been done with a major Attenborough documentary, which is …

emptiestplace,

Yes :(
