We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. - Ursula K Le Guin

Shocker, tax avoiding megacorps use the same accounting principles for carbon avoidance. Presumably with te aid of the same in-pocket politicians.

Thanks muchly, I appreciate the long term view so much more, media gives us a week or so then the cycle is over (and from a fellow Oz linux dev pundit, also I speak from a T580, upgrade your desktop..., so there's that as well). It seems like my next laptop (but likely an AMD 16, I'm in no hurry, but the potential for a 8xOculink for LLM is highly attractive, have you been keeping an eye on that, local is king..., )

Proxying a single app through WireGuard while routing everything else through Mullvad VPN on Linux by MalReynolds in c/[email protected]

Umm, if I understand you, it should be fine, you'd have the app and also proxies available on 8388 and 8888 or whatever you prefer on a different tunnel... It's pretty much the VPN swiss army knife. Use wireguard if you can, it's a lot faster (but more CPU intensive).

Spin up a gluetun instance, which will give you your proxy. I use two to have a local exit node and an international one.

Seems very interesting, pr burble aside. Wonder how close this is to a micro-sonogram if generalised ? Star Trek medical tricorder component material by my reckoning.

Wanting to torrent in a country other than my own, I've been exiting via Singapore as it has the most direct path I believe. Any reason not to ? Any superior choices for whatever reason ? Couldn't find this discussed anywhere. TIA.

Private Facebook Marketplace ? (slrpnk.net)

I'm one of those oddballs who's never joined, but I'm in the market for a new to me bike, and it seems like all the action is on marketplace. Am I screwed, or is there an effective workaround ?

Edit: Not US. There are local alternatives that I know about, but they are worse, please answer question as asked ! Basically I'm thinking of alternative software ala FreeTube, or a way of spoofing facebook to make a dummy account only to be used for this and if so what precautions to take...

Psychological truths like Skinner vs Pavlov Conditioning (slrpnk.net)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It's personally counter-intuitive, but I've seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to evolutionary mechanisms, my goto in biology).

I'm wondering what other psychology as a science results have solid statistics behind them that I'm unaware of (I'm compsci with a physics/maths background, so it's probably most), and are interesting...

Here we are with a community celebrating art, some of us might like to archive it. But no, inevitably it's google 'owned' transcoded, WebP. I have an extension to re-encode back to an old format, but that's lossy-lossy transcoding, not good. I suspect it's a Lemmy thing, but what would it take to get non-lossy here?

How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?

A report critical of Australian generals’ leadership in Afghanistan was given to the Defence Minister Richard Marles in November 2023, but was not published until after the McBride sentencing. Stuart McCarthy on a travesty of justice.
